Pursuing an A Level in Law alongside Penultimate year of Law degree... HELP

Hi there,
After careful contemplation, I've decided to complete an A Level in Law alongside my Law degree, given that my past A Levels (ABC) are holding me back. I'm excited to pursue this challenge (I will say that this is not always needed, many law firms are rejecting the A Levels 'filtering' approach) but I do have some queries.

1. I'm leaning towards AQA as an exam board, what is the general view on the AQA A Level Law syllabus? Are the chances of scoring higher marks better with AQA, or another exam board such as OCR.
2. Is there anywhere I can get access to model answers... I can't find many on google.
3. Does anyone have any specific tips and tricks, or textbook and revision resources that they recommend using?

Many thanks.

If you get answers please let me know. I do think AQA is better though. I did CIE and found practically no resources online but AQA has a lot of flash cards on quizlet or videos on YouTube. Can you elaborate on how ABC grades are holding you back? Because my grades are similar and I'm just now going into uni and I'm wondering what happened that made you want to do law again on A Level.

I've decided to stick to AQA. I'm retaking them because most corporate law firms have a minimum A Level Requirement...
