I would not recommend that (My friend takes the subject and it seems that they cover a lot of topics plus I think you have to do an NEA project or something similar?)
Yeah It’s not really that doable, the NEA is a whole section that you will need guidance to complete and it’s quite content heavy with lots of case studies.

NEA stands for Non Assessment Examination which is essentially a project you do leading up to the formal exam season (a.k.a coursework). My friend has to write an essay between 2000 and 4000 words on a Geography topic of her choice.

It has to be more than this for highest marks as well due to having to incorporate the most detail etc, I got an A 59/70 after doing 13000 words, but I know people who got similar doing 9-15k words.

I think you’d be better off sticking to whatever you’re doing currently and putting your effort into that, I’m assuming you’re already doing 3 A Levels? Focus on getting good grades in these as universities only need 3 A Levels anyhow, an EPQ might be a better option as a lot of universities like these, and this would put less stress on you as it’s an independent research project. It’s worth half an A Level.
cant mate 😭i was hospitalized for a long time and now i ONLY have 7 months to get ready, i'm doing geography hoping to get into architecture. thanks for the help i really appreciate it.
