I moved sixth form two weeks into the start of Year 12, going from a school that studied AQA to one that did Edexcel.

The AQA syllabus (from what I saw of it) is quite different to Edexcel. It mainly depends on the topics you do, we did cold environments in physical geography which was pretty tough as I hadn't covered it on the Edexcel GCSE specification.

I strongly recommend buying the revision book now, having a light read through and re-capping on the things you're unsure about and topics you haven't encountered before.
