Question

Would you please explain the meaning of "stack up" to me.
I guess he donesn't stack up. Because he has so many works to do.(I make the sentence by myself)

I stack up so many questions to prepare to ask Jim.

I assume  the first one it's meaning "ready", and the second its "accumulation"

Answer

"stack up" has 2  meanings:
1. To measure up or equal:  Example: Their gift doesn't stack up against his.
2. To make sense; add up:  Example: Her report just doesn't stack up.
 Your sentences are incorrect and would be better written like this:
I guess he doesn't stack up against me.[ he is not equal to me]

I have " a stack of "  [ a lot of] questions which I have prepared for Jim.
