When comparing AQA and Edexcel for A-level Geography:
-AQA offers a more structured course with balanced content and straightforward exams, which might be easier if you prefer clear guidelines.

- Edexcel allows more topic flexibility and includes open-ended questions that require critical thinking, which can be more challenging but rewarding.
If you like a clear, structured approach, AQA might feel easier. If you prefer flexibility and making connections between topics, Edexcel could be better. Consider reviewing sample papers to see which suits you best.
