Gcse tier

Is it possible to change tier on the day of the exam from higher to foundation?
and sit the foundation paper instead for all 3 papers because teachers will not be in the exam hall only invigilators also will they check which tier i am doing and refuse to give me foundation or not plz let me know thank you

I don't think so, invigilators often don't know about this stuff, they are only there to supervise. Have you spoken to your school about this matter? You can't really make changes on the exam day.

You wouldn't get disqualified but you will have to sit both papers, because your school books the exam papers for you and since its a couple days from may and exam season is starting you are cutting close in making changes. You've probably already got your statement of entry and all the details are set. But of course you can enquire from your school just to make sure. But honestly I don't think you have much chance of changing the paper you want to take, but you can hope.
