Further Maths A level predicted grade and self-study

I'm a self-studying further maths student who recently did his AS level and achieved an A. I'm looking to apply to Cambridge/LSE for economics which require FM A level.

I've achieved predicted A* A* A for maths, Econ, Physics respectively.

I hired a tutor who went over the content once a week. For my UCAS application, I am unsure of where to get a predicted grade and reference since I mainly self-studied it and I'm unsure if my tutor is qualified to give a predicted grade.

Furthermore, I've been reading threads on TSR you can get access to FM teaching through ASMP. I'm unsure of how this works/how to apply as I think it would be quite difficult to self-study FM A2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How did you ending up to ?
I am in Year 12 now, thinking of self-study Further Maths, as my school only offer Math, Econ and Business for A level. I know my combination is not that strong for such LSE application, and I love Math, I read 1 chapter, thinking I can self-study Further Math next 2 years. I am not sure how the UCAS system work for self-study predict and how it counts to A Level result as 4th subject as private candidate.
