If you're looking to do a completely different course you're probably better doing clearing.
No, adjustment is only for those who exceed their firm offers.

How about same course but different school (if I don't want my insurance choice)?

If you are rejected by your firm choice but get accepted by your insurance, then yes - unless you then decline the latter and enter clearing. However, that can take a few days in which many clearing places will have disappeared.

You mean clearing OP, not adjustment.

If you're that sure that you'll miss your firm, why not just firm the uni that you can get into? Or did you not select the uni that you now want to be considered for?

If the latter is the issue, have you thought about whether your preferred course/uni is in Extra at the moment, and perhaps try to get an offer from it at this stage rather than waiting for your results?

I see... In clearing can I go for the course that I used to apply as one of my five UCAS choice?

Hi! I heard from all my five ucas choices actually which I think it is quite impossible to apply for Extra....

Just worry if I ruin my exam and cannot meet my firm offer condition ...

Yes, but given that they have already rejected you that would probably be a waste of time.
