Look,
A Level edexcel HAS A HUGE ADVANTAGE which is not provided in the CIE, it is not a linear course, which means you can take each paper individually, so you can make unit 1 in jan session, and 2,3 in june session! so you can distribute your effort, so less effort is needed. and if you want to re-sit any paper individually, you can!
And there is no PRACTICAL TEST in edexcel, but alternative to practical, which is similar to the IGCSE paper 6! Which is more easier than a real practical one

AS edexcel is really really SIMPLE, compared to the cambridge one!
But the A2 is really complicated and you have to work VERY hard!
And don't care about the board marking system, if you worked hard, it won't matter :)

Good luck

Colleges care about GRADES! They don't care about boards, board are just for you, not for colleges because the certificate itself is called *GCE* whether it's cambridge or edexcel, it doesn't matter, it's the same certificate :)
