Resits?

I got my AS results on thursday, and I was hoping for a AAAB but i only managed AABC. The B was in Maths (13 marks off an A), and the C was in AQA History where I got a D on the coursework exam & 2 Bs in the exams, what I was wondering was if i could retake the coursework exams without continuing the course into A2? I also intend to resit my Maths C2 & M1 modules, I could wait until Jan 09 to resit, but I was wondering if it's possible to resit them any earlier?

I was also thinking of taking up Eng Lit AS in my A2 year, meaning at the end of A2 i would have 3 A2 grades and 2 AS. I'm thinking of applyng to some of the top universities (Warwick, LSE, Cam') do you think the lack of 4 full A Levels would cause them to look upon me unfavourably?

Sorry, if there's a thread like this already. I have spent the last half hour or so perusing the forum, but there are so many threads on here it can be a bit overwhelming.

anyone? sry if bumps are not allowed
I think you need to focus on your A2s. Just make sure you get A's in them. That's it.

yes, but how do my current grades bear in light of my wanting to go to some of the top universities? do you think i still have a chance?

I think you will still have a chance. Just work hard in your A2s and make sure you manage your time well.
