A Levels generally are 2 year courses (unless you do an accelerated course in 1 year or you do them online/privately). You don't take the official exams until May/June of your second year, and these generally determine your results.
•
Should you decide (with a lengthy discussion with your teacher) that you don't/shouldn't proceed with the subject, you can either drop out or finish as an AS at the end of your first year (requires sitting an exam). An AS would count as roughly half of an A Level, so the grades/points you accumulate would be accordingly counted as such.
•
For some courses/subjects, you would be required to produce coursework/assignments that would count towards the final grade. I would suspect all 3 of the subjects you picked will involve some sort of assignement (I haven't checked).
•
Whilst there are no rules saying you can't resit your A Levels, it's generally "frowned upon" if you continually resit the same exams. However, you can only generally resit an exam once a year, and after your first sitting you would have to fund the exams yourself as well as doing them privately (as a private candidate).
•
If you do study at a 6th form college, then you woud likely be offered mock exams throughout your studies to assess your progress as well as giving an indication of whether you should proceed with the course. These mock exams are not official and are only for the college that you attend at.
