    ABC at AS, how likely is it that I will be able to get ABB/AAB?
    I've got a low A and mid B, the C is a low C (in chemistry) but I'm retaking my June AS exam this June.
    In my January exams this year I got a mid B in the A and a low B in the B, as well as a D in Chemistry. I'm also retaking this (so will be doing 3 chemistry exams in the summer). Will it be that difficult to get my grades up in one exam session? I'm worried most about chemistry because sometimes I just don't feel capable at all.

    I went up by one symbol in each subject (maths, physics and economics) from my AS to A2

    Your jan exams are A2 yes? If so you can calculate yourself. You got a mid B so wil need a mid A to make it an A overall. and the others you can guess accordingly. As for whether you can achieve it - honestly depends on how much work you put in.
