Should DD sit Biology on Tuesday?

DD is currently sitting GCSE's, needs 4 B's 2 C's to get to her chosen college.
Currently already has a B in Stats and A in ICT, she is pretty confident in getting the other 4.
The crux is she has Biology and PE next week, neither of which she is well prepared for.
Would she be better not sitting Biology to focus on PE and upping her predicted grades in other subjects? Or going for Biology on the basis she got 2 marks of a C in a recent mock.
She is dyslexic and revision/ short term memory is a problem. She also tends to overload.

She should sit it even if she doesn't focus ob it for revision. It might be a paper she does well on anyway.

Could you ask the school - who presumably know about her dyslexia and ask if she can do one exam when the catchup session is?
