Hi! I recently decided to swap my A level Geography with Philosophy but I feel like this was a mistake. I really enjoy Philosophy lessons, but I've read that the actual exam is just horrible and it's really hard to get a even a B. What do you guys think? Should I go back to Geography?
My second question is, the Philosophy course on my schedule is called "RE". Is it pure Philosophy?
On AQA's results page from 2019 there are two subjects called Philosophy - which one is it, 2176 or 7172?
Thank you for all the answers!

RE stands for Religious Education, but this is often referred to as Religion, Philosophy and Ethics. So, it’s not pure philosophy, but the other topics tie in well with it.
It really depends on you, to be honest. What do you want to study in university? What do you want to do in later life? Which subject are you more interested in, as it’s in that you’re more likely to perform well in. Based on your answers to those questions, you should be able to figure out what’s right for you : )

I'd like to study law in the future and I've taken History, Government and Politics and Philosophy. I think that's a pretty good set and I am motivated to work hard! The only thing that worries me is the actual a level Philosophy exam that I've read is super hard, but I feel like coming back to Geography after swaping it would be too awkward.

I tutor both, RE is easier than Philosophy.
If you tell me some of the subjects you've been studying in class, I'll be able to tell you whether you are doing Philosophy or RE.
