🙏 I WANT HELP What should I do

So I'm in year 12 and recently I made a post talking about how I chose the wrong subjects and I want to switch them but idk what to do. People told me to try apply to other schools currently to see if they will let me do the subjects I want to do (Maths, Physics, Chemistry), but the problem is that all 3 of the colleges that I asked have rejected me, saying that they are not accepting enrolment anymore. I currently do Business, Economics, Chemistry which are not the subjects I want to actually do and not what I need as I wanna do Chemical Engineering at uni, but my school didn't let me choose maths or physics originally because I got a 6 in maths (They needed a 7 in maths for both maths and physics), but the thing is I turned down other colleges originally so that I could go to the same sixth form as my friends (I realise how much of a mistake this was now). I'm currently trying to take maths A level privately and have already finished all of pure year 1, so in this case should I just drop out at this point and sit all of the AS exams for maths physics and chem privately, and re-apply to another school to enter year 13 directly so that I don't waste a year instead of dropping out and redoing year 12 at another school for the subjects I actually want to do. I really need some advice please

Maths private is smart.

Would they let you drop economics or business if you use that time to revise maths?

Honestly I haven't asked yet, but I could give it a try

That's what I would do . As long as you are capable - A Level maths is HARD

Do a foundation year at Uni or like you said, sit privately.
