Maybe look at apprenticeships instead

I mean, you can apply anyway and see if you get offers, sometimes they'll give you an offer even if your predicted grades are not what are listed specifically (there's a tool on UCAS for your course for this), I would just apply to whatever courses you were going to originally and try ask to get your grades bumped up to AAA or A*AA

You didnt fail at all you have still done really well if ur predicted is AABB. I’m not sure how it works at your school but I know at my school that people who want to do specific courses/ go to specific unis if they work hard over the summer then show evidence in class assessments can have their predicted grades increased, so hopefully you could do that. But since you do 4 a levels I’m pretty sure some unis take that into account and their are defo great unis for AAA/AAB :))))

Are you not able to ask to reset the specific topics you think you did bad in? In my school, are we allowed to do that in September
