Moving into Accounting Unit 2?

[jcrook8]

I'm thinking of switching out of PE and moving into Accounting straight into Unit 2. The Accounting teacher said I would be behind and it would be difficulty to catch up as the information learnt in Unit 1 will be used in unit 2.

Thoughts on making this change?

Thanks

shouldnt be too hard.. it may take some time to memorise theory and learn about the different financial statements and double entry rule  usually the basics of accounting are covered in unit 1, eg. principles + characteristics, balance sheet, income statement, etc., but they are mentioned again in unit 3

if the subject interests you then i'd say go for it! i did 1/2 in year 10 and i'd say its relatively easy, but it all depends on you

Go for it!
Won't be a huge jump but you will need to put in a few hours ( Max probs 5 hours if super slow over the two week break )
Just to catch up on some fundamentals

You can do it
obviously it will require more effort on your part but you should be able to

Yeah that should be fine then, considering our school gets a 3 week break it shouldn't be a problem!

Yeah,  I think it is fine as Unit 2 Accounting is necessary to know but Unit 1 Accounting is just the basics. Skipping Unit 1 won't do much harm.
