i am failing my AS levels and im not sure what to do

I have attended a my local college for a year. I have taken English literature, history and sociology. I'm half way through my exams and I feel like I have not done well so far. except for sociology we already received our final grades for AS and I received an A. However I no longer have an interest in carrying on history and possibly literature. I feel incredibly lost in my college as it is huge and almost all of the teachers don't offer any help.They leave you to fail which has caused D's all year in history. I feel like I need extra help so I applied to a sixthform. But for some reason they only offered me A2 sociology and a level 3 for a year. I don't understand why. I dont care abut level 3 I only want to do A levels.I really would like to start over in sixthform is that possible?
Many people re-sit AS. I don't see why you can't restart if your college allows it.

You can try asking other colleges/sixth forms. If you can't convince them then I'm afraid there's not much you can do.

im just worried they will all be the same if i apply. also i dont understand why they dont allow people to retake AS's. when students fail them in that sixthform they can. my exams dont give me actual grades this year. would other colleges have an issue with that as well?

LOOOOL nah im playing LMAO, get organised and create a timetable up to your exams, if you feel like its too late and failure is inevitable for this year then retake next year and be prepared

Really depends on the college. Send them some emails to ask. You'll probably find the email addresses on their websites.

if you're get into a sixth form for A2 with D's then it depends on the standards of the sixth forms so you just gotta see i guess
