Be cautious. Wait till results day. If you get grades that are considerably lower than what you were predicted then a reapplication may not be such a good idea after all. It probably wouldn't be worth it if you got below A*AAa (A* in Maths).
•
Even if you do get the (predicted) grades, you're not guaranteed entry for one of the universities you applied to for 2013 entry. You could get very unlucky and Nottingham, for example, may decide that they want A2 FM. In which case your application may be no stronger than others a year below you with A2 FM. Although, generally, I would have to say that if you do meet your predicted grades - you'd be very likely of receiving an unconditional offer for 2013 entry from one of those universities.
•
Do some research on some of the universities you'd like to perhaps apply for. You may find out that some universities (and this can be quite common when applying for maths) are very reluctant to take in applicants on a gap year. To be honest, I think this is the case for about 90% of Oxbridge colleges. But you'll find exceptions - I think Queens' College Cambridge, for example, actually prefer applicants who take a gap year .

Conside taking a STEP paper this year (in June). A good grade in STEP I or II (or both) can make your application for the following cycle very strong indeed. Having said that, a poor grade could work against you.
