A level Philosophy (Freaking Out)

P.S I've looked at the Philosophy Specification again and for some reason it suddenly looks SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT then when i scanned it before enrolling !!!!!!
My mind must be playing tricks on me but I feel like I'm about to have a break down... i also spent around £430 on the online distance learning enrollment!! what if I fail or get pathetic marks !? What an embarressment I'll be and at the cost of my mums finance too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone here taken Philosophy A level and how was it ???? by the way im doing it according to the old A level style so that should be two exams at the end of each year right ?
HELP

First of all, you need to take several breathes and really chill out.

You need to remember if you are going to take the full A-level come this Sept, you will not do the exam until 2018. Which gives you PLENTY of time to get your head around some of the issues and theories and complexities of the subject.

You are only studying BTEC which is a lot of hours, but you are only studying that and Philosophy. Compared to other students who take 3-4 other A-levels. So you are putting way too much pressure on yourself.

Distant learning is fine. If you do not get something, you can call your supervisor and they will support you. You also have many students on TSR that take this A-level too. You will not be alone to struggle with this subject. It's perfectly normal to struggle with this. Even my lecturer at uni says he's been studying Philosophy for over 20 decades and still gets confused every now and again. Philosophy isn't a subject where you will know all the answers to - that is the whole point of it - to question the things that are unquestionable!

Unless you will be entered for the AS exam and THEN the A2 (this means in your A2 year, you'll be learning the same stuff as you did in AS as well as A2, rather than just progessing) then it is similar to the old A-level style.
However, if you have enrolled to do the linear course, you will take all of your exams at the end of 2018 in June.
For more clarification, you should consult the provider for the course you are with.

Good luck!

i studied Philosophy AS for 5 months and I dropped it recently because it was extremely hard, it was awful. I tried my best and I got a U in my mock exam. Philosophy is not for everyone so make sure that you truly like it and enjoy it, because if you dont you are going to struggle to revise.

😦I see, I no longer have unrealistic expectations of my grades so I'm just hoping for a pass now, would you say even that would be difficult ???????
