If you don’t pass your exams (fewer than 5% fall into that category), then you won’t be allowed to continue full stop. With the three science subjects, it’s possible that if you fail one you may be allowed to stay to do one of the other subjects but you may just be asked to leave. 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 nothing like secondary admission in US colleges which sometimes needs to weed out the majority of pre-majors.
