CIE to Edexcel?

Hello,
So, Yesterday I got my CIE AS level results and it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I took Maths, Chemsitry and Biology.
I got:
MATHS- E
BIO - D
CHEM D

So, I will have to retake but the thing is, I Am not sure if I can really improve by resetting in oct/Nov within 2 months time and have a significant impact on my results.
I wanted to know, will it be a good idea to change the board and go for Edexcel as a private candidate which take examination on January, perfect time for me! And then give A level on June ? Is it possible or too much to ask for?? Because I really want to give my A level by June next year.
What do you think, what is the best for me?

This is entirely up to your capabilities.

Don't assume that Edexcel and CIE syllabuses are same. They might be similar but it is possible that there are still several differences in them.
