If you won't retake but want to go to uni, then you'll have to either go through clearing to a uni with lower requirements, or find some alternative level 3 qualifications you can take that will get you into the unis you want.

Clearing, Foundation Years. If you're only a grade of your offer your uni may still accept you but it depends.

Hi there,

I am currently a student at Portsmouth University.

If A-levels don't go to plan and your grades are not what you expect, you vcan firstly go into clearing and apply on results day to universities with spaces and requirements that match your grades.
Another option, is taking a foundation year at University. This is an extra year at University to cover previous knowledge of A-levels needed to study a certain degree.
Lastly, you can also ask for remarks or your exams.

I hope this helps
