Retaking A-levels but with a different exam board?

I've just finished my a levels (A2) and didnt do as well as I wanted. I want to retake chemistry(edexcel) and economics(ocr) this year, is it possible to retake those subjects but on a different exam board (for example OCR for chemistry and AQA for econ) which could be easier as it will be similar content and its also a linear course??
Although there's likely to be a lot of overlap, you'd have to check the specification as some of the content may vary between the two exam boards. I can imagine this is more likely to be the case for econ.

Also, for chemistry - i'm not sure if you're able to (or need to) transfer your practical endorsement over to another exam board. It might be best to ask your teacher on this.
