Research the course. Find out what modules you will be undertaking. Come across as passionate. If you have extracurriculars, list skills/experience you've picked up for them and why they make you a better student (e.g. leadership and teamwork from being the captain of a sports team).

It depends on what you can write on a personal statement, and what the entry requirements are. I think your AS grades are more important than your A2 predictions.

In a PS you'd have to list why this course is perfect for you. State what topics interest you, back this up with lists of reading material which you have read, weekly/monthly journals ect... You could ask your tutor whether it's worth mentioning your retake, as it may show determination to succeed, but you'll get mixed views on who you ask.

Work experience helps, but it's not necessary and a lot of students get offers without it.
