Can you change an a level subject in December year 12?

I switched in like late May or something stupid like that, but it required a lot of begging, and I really regretted not going with my gut around the December period when I first had thoughts of it. I literally bunked classes of the subject that I didn't want to do (don't try this at home), it was that bad. It really depends on the school and I'd say if you're not enjoying it now, you probably won't in the future as the subject gets harder. Do all the catch-up work first, then ask your teachers about switching courses, be prepared to prove your ability in the subject. I had to take a mock exam, you may have to do something similar, but again, really just depends on your college. Really emphasise why you would be happier taking geography. I don't take it myself so I can't offer any specific advice about the subject, but I think doing your catch-up work should help you figure out whether you genuinley enjoy it. Good luck, I wish you the best.

What’s the latest your school would let you switch A‑levels and still catch up??

I’m in year 12 and it’s December and considering changing biology to geography a level and want to know what’s the latest possible time students have successfully switched, and if anyone has any advice or regrets about doing it and how hard it was to catch up.Would love to hear from people who’ve been through it and any revision websites or video recommendations would be appreciated and some reassurance if geography a level is worth it.
I’m also scared to ask my form tutor as he might not let me switch and I don’t know how to approach him about Changing subjects

Quite a few people change subjects during the first term of year 12, form tutors will be used to this 🙂
Did you do gcse geography?
My advice would be to speak to the head of geography at your sixth form and ask them whether they think you could catch up on the content over Christmas given your previous studies (mention gcse if relevant and anything like good grades in essay subjects etc).

Yes I did gcse geography and I really enjoyed it and got a grade 9 I also do econ and in econ lessons some of it kind of linked and I realised I want to do geography or a geography related degree
