If you feel like you're struggling in maths, then retake the year because you probably can't deal with A level and AS level maths at once.If you're in a good mindset, then find a tutor and do your best this year. Going from an E to an A is not unheard of. For example, I went from an E in M3 to an A and from a low C in FP3 to an A* and from a low C in FP2 to an A, in the course of a month or two. What I did was just work harder and focused more. Things started to click after practise.
