Do I have to pay to switch an A-Level to AS?
11
Basically as the title says. I took A level maths since the start of year 12 and all was going fine until year 13 when my grades started dropping a lot. I got an E in my most recent mock exam after being predicted a B+ at the start, that's how bad it is. A maths teacher suggested doing the AS Level instead since i was considering dropping the subject completely but he said it'd be "better than nothing" and all that. He did mention that it may cost £150 to switch, but he's not sure whether the student has to pay for that or the school does, since I am still an A level student with two other A levels. He wants me to confirm tomorrow morning but I wasn't able to ask the examination office at my school about the whole money thing... so any help?
Thanks in advance ;P

I mean there is a late fee. But whether or not you have to pay that is between you and your school. If you can do it and the school will pay then cool but I would say that if you have to pay and you can't/don't want to, at this stage of the year (Unless you do 4 or something or a bad A level in maths would affect a uni offer of something like that), you should maybe just drop maths or try your best to get a better grade. (Obviously if it would negatively affect your uni offers then don't do that but yh)
