Switching A-Level subjects

My daughter switched subjects in January. It wasn't an easy decision and we did our research first. She knew what she wanted to change too. How much contents had been taught so far (from Sept to Jan) and how ling it would take her to catch up (basing it on worse case and best case using her home study, time when she has no lessons and after school). She wanted to swap as she was not enjoying or progressing in a subject and the one she swapped to actually benefitted her better for what she'd like to study at Uni. We outlined to the 6th Form Head our commitment as well as hers and that if she continued with the other subject she would not do well. They agreed, it took her just over 2 weeks to get upstraight and in her first mock she scored the highest on one exam. So it goes to show you can swap but the earlier the better and depends on what subject from and to (be more difficult with a BTEC maybe). Good luck hope you can get it sorted.

Thank you so much. I wanted to switch to Business and a lot of it’s similar to GCSE so I think I’d be able to catch up. Did anyone mention the census thing to you? Do you know what it is?
