My goodness, I was so wrong about switching category.

dipu_s4u is so right, you can switch to student and your new course should not be more than one month than the date on which your current visa expires for in-country application

this is from the Tier 4 guidance,

Can I switch in to the adult student
category?
75. You can switch in to the adult student
category if you have, or were last given,
permission to stay in the following categories:
• post–study worker (tier 1);
• skilled worker (tier 2 General);
• intra-company transfer (tier 2);
• minister of religion (tier 2);
• child student (tier 4);
• prospective student;
• student;
• student re-sitting an examination;
• student nurses;
• students writing up a thesis;
• Student Union sabbatical officer;
• work permit holder;
• a postgraduate doctor or dentist;
• participant in the Science and Engineering
Graduates Scheme ;

84. If you are already in the United Kingdom and your existing permission to stay runs out more than one month before the start-date of your proposed course of study, you will be expected to return overseas and apply from outside the United Kingdom. If you apply from inside the United Kingdom, your application will be refused.

You can switch to Tier 4 after your PSW leave but you will not able get PSW again.
