Extra ucas points needed help!

Only got myself 170 points, thats what happens when you go to every lesson high as a kite! oh well, decided to take a year out and apply again to go to uni when the time comes again. Most of the courses i'm looking at require 220 points, with only 160 need being from A/AS Levels. So i've pretty much got a year to get my hands on 50 more points, preferably without going back to college. Any advice would be great. Sound x
Look on the UCAS website for the tariff bit and it shows what is worth how many points.
You could get ideas from there.

grade 7 merit = 55points
Why don't you re-take some exams?

Hahaah yeah you could get into music they dish out points for theory and the actual grade... or just redo your current a levels or do 2 more.

I had 280 needed like 320 so did one more a level, but be warned they might ask for a specific grade in the new subjects.. etc
