In a sticky situation as DC wants to swap a subject and I know it’s late in the year.

His head of year said it is late and there is too much to catchup on.
I wondered if anyone has been in the same situation, did you or someone you know manage to change late and be successful?

so stressed!!

I did it. The subject I switched to I got my highest grade on. If you're not interested in a subject another 5 terms of it is going to be a long slog.

Why does DC want to switch? Are they struggling at the existing subject? Does the new subject better align with their career ambitions?

Depends on subject and whether previously taken to gcse level. Ie English Lit he may have missed texts and a genre.History a whole section of curriculum,
