More typical is that you get a poor lower second or third (ie bottom 10-20%) in that subject then you’ll realize (even if it isn’t suggested) that other subject choices will suit you better.

This is really helpful insight and would calm a lot of concerns about real difficulty in progressing. What I had understood was that there was a qualifying exam, but this seems much more manageable.
