In AS you get unexpected grades.

I got a B in Accounting AS although I was definite of getting an A, also my teacher would always say how good I'm in Accounting. So I rechecked and the results was the same.

I've got of my friends who faced the same issue, but I have heard of others who got their grades changed.

I say you better concentrate on your A2.

Well what if the grade didn't change, then I'd suggest sitting it again while taking your A2 because this is what I also did. =]

You dont have to be a nerd studying 24/7 to get an A/A*, you just need to concentrate while you study and dont procrastinate.
Good luck! :D

Concentrate more on A2 or you could re-sit it. (:
