    I do accounting and I love it. It's a very easy subject to do well in once you get the hang of it. Others in my class do both business and accounting and they're fine, I don't think it would be too much at all.

    Its great, if you are in anyway good at business in 3rd year do it, 5th year is really easy, you would usually do the pass course first, which is basically the same as 3rd year! The higher course is tricky but if you stick to it, it will come to you!

    Thanks for your replies. Ill be planning to do higher level. Never even remotely understood ledgers and trial balances is there much of that on it ? I liked profit and loss and balance sheets. I really appreciate your replies.

    I didn't do te ledgers or trial balance at all for junior cert, just the profit and loss and balance sheet and I usually get As now. You need to understand your debits and credits but there are rules (like 2 or 3) for that. It may be confusing at first but once it clicks its grand! There is a full question on p&l and balance sheet which is 100 marks. It's so easy to do well in because the adjustments are usually the exact same but different figures. Same with the other questions. A lot of the paper comes back to final accounts. It's a great subject really! We do topics at a time both pass and honours, the honours questions can be tricky at first but once you do a few you can do them all. Good luck!
