A Level twice

Hiya,

I find myself in a tricky situation as I am due to take my maths A Level this year, since we’re learning content consecutively (I do Maths and FM) but I also wish to apply to St Andrews. St Andrews has stated that they wish my A Levels to be taken in a single exam season. If I take my A Level this year, then it’ll look better on my applications as they’ll see that I have the capability to do well in the other 2 A Levels. I’d therefore like to ask whether it’s possible to take my Maths A Level twice, once this year and again next year, so that I’ll be able to apply to St Andrews. I take Maths, Further Maths and Computer Science and I wish to apply for Computer Science.
Does anyone know whether something like this is possible?

Thanks
