Doing a new A-Level in year 13

I’m in year 12 atm. Does anyone know if it’s possible (provided my sixth form agrees) to drop one of my A levels, start a new one in a year 12 class when I’m in year 13 and finish it the year after that? But still carry on with my other two as normal.
Would it then be possible to take a gap year after that to avoid the applying to uni issue?
Please let me know if anyone has done this or if you think it would be easier just restarting year 12 (I don’t want to do this because I do not need to restart the other two subjects but will if there is no other option)
Thanks!!

I have seen people done it.

I haven't completed a whole A Level after dropping a subject before, but I have done another AS on top of the A Levels.

Just out of interest, what is the specific subject you want to do and what are you dropping.
There is often a myriad of reasons to drop a subject and take up another one, but I wouldn't do it unless it's a required subject or your grades in the subject that you have dropped are so bad that taking on a new subject would prove a dramatic improvement.

I want to drop art for physics. I did physics for a little while at the beginning of Y12 but then moved schools who were on a different exam board, so I changed to art and core maths.

From what I’ve seen on here it’s inadvisable as physics is considered very hard, and harder without maths AL, but I am willing to work hard especially if I have a year after to focus solely on it.
So really I don’t need it for anything I just want to do it because I love the subject and want to widen my knowledge of it past GCSE.

How did you find doing that AS level?
Thanks for your reply (:

Okay, doing some more research and seeing that I may be disadvantaged when applying to unis when I have been in sixth form for three years (I want to go into law which is already competitive) so I think the answer may be doing physics in my gap year as it is only out of interest. It will mean I have to pay for practicals and exams etc but will also keep me busy and getting me an extra qualification. What do you think?
