Gap Year - Resit - Imperial/Ucl

Im considering a gap year to resit maths and computing to get them to an A* whilst keeping an A in economics.Would this genuinely be worth a shot whilst applying to imperial and ucl, for computer science and what would I need to get in the entrance exams to actually be competitive.

I have heard that such competitive unis such as oxbridge, imperial and ucl prefer applicants who achieved all the required grades in one exam season as it proves you are able to achieve highly in all your subjects whilst balancing them.
