Personal recommendation: have A Level Maths as your third A Level to widen your options (including those that don't involve foundation years), since it's relatively cheap doing it.

sorry in my next post i explained it idk why this one uploaded but do you have any advice for my questions on the next post? thank you!!<3
Thanks for the link. In which case, I don't think I'm the best person to answer this since I haven't done a foundaiton year or a degree in engineering, yet.
Having said that, education at uni is very different to what it's like at college. It's going to feel like a completely different ball game since your approach will be different (although I don't think it would be that different if you intend to study engineering - a lot of questions and answers).
It's different to how they test you at GCSE or A Levels because for most questions they will test your knowledge more than the application. For maths based modules, you will be asked a relatively straightforward question and then answer it; there would be no curve balls giving you difficult applications or require you to think outside of the box. It's also worth noting that since they don't expect you to have done any prior maths or physics (for some universities anyway), you're not exactly going to be working from an advanced GCSE level. They will expect you to pick things up quickly since they will go through the material quickly (they are trying to cover Level 3 material in 1 year), but it's not going to be as difficult as in A Level.
What they will give you is a number of books to read up on and practice from (it's uni after all). These would be under the further reading sections of your unit outlines, and I recommend you going through them if you have difficulty with some of the material you receive for your seminars. If you still struggle with the material after you have looked through the further reading material (which should include A Level stuff), then I recommend reading up on the Schaum Outlines series - these give you a more gentler introduction to the subject - do note a number of the books would overlap in the material so it's worth your while to look through the contents of the books before buying anything.
