The answer is yes. Of course the question “is it possible to change subjects in the IGCSE program?” is plausible. Students have the right to drop or change IGCSE subjects at will as long as you still have at least 5 subjects from the total number of subjects you apply for.
If a student wishes to change a subject with reasons such as: “The subject is too difficult”, “I don’t like studying this subject”, “I chose the wrong subject”, … then you can directly contact your academic advisor or your school’s administrator department to learn more about the subject change process.

Although the IGCSE program allows students to change their subjects, students should carefully consider when to change subjects:
If you’re in your first year of IGCSE, changing subjects shouldn’t have too much of an impact on keeping up with the new curriculum (Consider with your parents first as you may have to pay a fee when you switch subjects). This period is when changing your subject doesn’t affect you much and actually is beneficial.
If you are studying for the second year of IGCSE, changing subjects will have a big impact on your learning plan. Dropping a full year of knowledge in one subject and starting from scratch with knowledge of another subject can place a sizable burden on your study plan.
Please consider carefully and discuss with your teacher or tutor to find the most useful and correct advice when you want to change a subject, the longer you leave it, the more it will affect you, your study plan, and your future IGCSE result.
