Maybe persuade your teachers to increase your predicted grades a little bit. Apply to some decent unis and if you do end up doing really well then you can go through Adjustment

Your predicted grades are not good enough for UCL. Get your a levels and take a gap year. Then apply

Hi, it's all down to how determined you are, for my mocks I got B(mathematics), C(physics), D(econ) and a D(further maths) I needed a A*AA predicted for LSE, so I dropped one of my a levels and worked my ass off, asking the teachers to predict me higher through retakes, and I was able to get a A*AA prediction, I am now off to LSE with my final alevels being A*A*A, it's better to do bad in your mocks so that you realise that you need to work harder and become more desperate.

Sorrry for the late reply, For economics, I realised that i wasn't following the correct essay-format, for example, i would just regurgitate knowledge from the textbook without context from the extract which costed me loads of marks! for maths, it was just down to lack of practice, I was especially weak for statistics and mechanics so I just did every single question in the textbook, at that time it just seemed tedious and hard but trust me, when your year 13 and looking back at the questions you actually understand the notes and it all becomes clearer!, for physics i'm unable to help you that much because i dropped it for further maths but doing past papers and looking at the mark-scheme at what they want is important i think.
