There are a few things you can do to help things. Retake some AS units, which should help towards getting that A next year. Find out if your school cashes in AS grades - if it doesn't then you don't have to put them on your form. I'm a bit vague about how cashing in works, so hopefully someone else can explain it better. Consider a gap year - maybe doing something like a placement with an accountancy firm or something that uses your mathematical ability. That way you can apply when you have your three As, rather than when you're hoping to get them. Good Luck!
