A Level Edexcel Geography – opinions?

Those who study the A Level Edexcel Geography specification, what are your opinions on it?

For context, I studied the GCSE Edexcel Geography B specification at KS4.

Well I did AQA geography for GCSE but I do the Edexcel specification for A Level and am loving it so far (I've just finished year 12).
There is quite a good range of topics and a fairly even split between human and physical topics so there is something for all geography lovers to be honest. There are a few optional topics which your school will pick from eg. glaciation vs coasts for physical, regeneration vs diverse places and Health, Human Rights and Intervention vs Migration, Identity and
Sovereignty. for human. So it is worth checking out which topics your sixth form has chosen as I was particularly fascinated by glaciation for physical geography so I'm glad my school covers that in more detail at A Level rather than coasts.
I hope that helps but let me know if you have any further questions on this!

Are you choosing your A Level subjects currently or what stage of your academics are you currently at?
