It's a difficult situation. If you cannot get the predicted grades, then there is literally no point in applying. As AS grades don't count towards the final A Level grade, the best thing to do now is knuckle down and revise for your A Level exams next year - get AAA and hopefully try in clearing and if not, do so in the next applications cycle. You've got a good crop of GCSEs, so you're capable, it just appears you could do with some more revision.

AS grades do count for some of the final A Level grade though, don't they?

Nope. Not for the reformed subjects. She/he would need to resit maths modules, but that's only if she/he wants to take Maths to A2.
