Is it too late to switch A level subjects in year 12?

I am currently in year 12 and studying economics, business and psychology I want to switch from business to philosophy as universities especially Russel groups look down on doing economics and business together. I was wondering if switching subjects is too late as mock exams are in 2 and a half months and my school does aqa philosophy. I am quite strong at essay subjects and would enjoy the subject so wouldn't mind catching up. Is this possible?

Hi. Don’t know if this would help but here’s my experience.
When I was in sixth form and was in year 12, my head of year told me “it’s never too late to change subject”. Though she gave me that advice when I dropped a subject going from 4 to 3 I think it would apply. It would be too late to change subject if it was 2 months until your actual A Level exams.

If you are willing to do the work, I would say do what you want but perhaps talk to your head of year first to see where your subjects would end up.

Hope that helps
