Should I take a level AQA environmental science?

I don’t take gcse geography and didn’t like it too much in year 9, but I love biology and find chemistry and the energy topic in physics quite interesting. I really struggled with getting marks in geography though and I’m not sure if that will limit me, because for some reason biology comes a lot more naturally. Should I still take it?

I did environmental science and it was a little like geography but not really. The problem with environmental science is not necessarily the difficulty but instead the large volume of content (more than biology) and lack of resources. It was interesting at times but the energy topic is not at all like energy in physics, minus the renewable energy topic. Nuclear, energy conservation, fossil fuels topics were possibly the most excruciatingly boring and wordy topic I have ever learned in my life.
There are a few interesting topics such as the atmosphere, conservation and conditions for life (i personally enjoyed soils as well).
Overall I would say the a level is not worth it. It has the lowest statistics for As despite its ‘easy’ content due to the high grade boundaries. AQA is also significantly more lazy with their questions and they tend to be a little ridiculous because they will get less backlash for it since it’s not popular.
However, if you do take it, you can message me and I will give you links to all of my resources that I’ve made for the course! Good luck

I'm in second year environmental science. What resources do you use?

I am thinking of taking environmental science would be helpful if I can have your opinions on it as there is little information I have found and j am also thinking of combining it with geography and biology

Do you prefer Human or Physical geography?

I would say that Env Sci goes better with a love for physical Geography, but as you are doing Bio as well, those three make a great combo. Read my previous comment within this post, where I give an overview of the course compared with Bio and Geo. Let me know if you want to know anything more about it like the different topics etc.
