Assalamu 'Alaykum Sis...I would not recommend it...
Because first of all, you have no idea wht ur AS grades are gonna be..and (May Allah forbid), you may have to repeat..this AS repeating session is possible in november..but A2?
People's scores usually fall in A2..AS in itself is very hard...I'm in A2..it's not easy..and not all a wise thing to do over only 3 months..

Hope I helped you:)
May Allah Succeed you and guide you best!

p.s: The best thing to do would be to pray Istikhara..and have faith: that's when you know the best decision...

I agree with knowitall! Many times AS messes you up. I would suggest doing A-Levels next May/June because if you're taking Science subs, then it will be quite difficult. You may be able to cover the syllabus in 3 months but I believe a lot of practice would be required to be certain. Plus, if you want to give A-Level Bio in November, it may even distract you from your other subjects as you will be mainly concentrating on Bio more than half the time! I wish you the very best for your AS results and for your A-Level year!

And as knowitall said, Istikhara would be great to perform just to be extra sure!
