Sorry, it may not be appropriate- but here I go- I am doing Edexcel AS P&E, would you mind giving me any tips seeing as you have moved onto A2? I cannot find a lot of people on this thread that are on the Edexcel board.
Thanks in advance.

Sure no problem, however I'm doing Philosophy and Islam. What philosophy questions are you doing? I basically write the essays and memorise them, philosophy questions always stay the same but are worded slightly differently so make sure you mould your essay to the question being asked especially for the A02 part. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions to ask I'll be happy to help!

Apart from the essays do you think I should do anything else?

Philosophy and ethics here. I am doing the Design argument, Evil and suffering, and also the Cosmological argument just in case they decide to mix with the DA.

I actually did the design argument and evil and suffering questions last year and honestly that is the only method I use for philosophy when it comes to revision. However, to learn key philosophers and their argument I used acronyms and bullet points

ohh are you? my teacher suggested that we either do resurrection and immortality of the soul or rebirth and reincarnation because of a funny question he saw somewhere. I kind of have decided not do life after death, I'm doing Religious experience, Natural Moral law and Justice, law and punishment

But religious experience and the ontological argument are both above the line in the philosophy section... surely it would make better sense to learn one above and one below?

basically for philosophy im doing life after death and religious experiencebut what if religious experience is not one of the questions and edexcel decide to go for ontological and critiques of religious belief
is it guaranteed that religious experience always comes up? sorry im so rubbish about this! x

Religious experience and the ontological argument always come up, critiques of religious belief is a far rarer one, but when they put it in the paper, the other two topics are still there. I doubt they'll deviate from this pattern. For example, the June 2012 paper asked a question on critiques of religious belief and then a combined question for religious experience and the ontological argument. Similarly, the June 2013 paper asked a combined question on critiques of religious belief and religious experience, and the second question was on the ontological argument.
