A is out of 95, and she scored 88 in total, which means she lacks 7 marks to achieve the A grade. I personally wouldn't suggest remarking, since 7 marks ain't a small deal. I would have agreed if it is a 2 or 3 mark difference though.

But can she do A2 in May/June 2015 and secure an A*?

Minimum mark for an 'A' grade is 95. 88 is 7 marks short.
Now, since she has an 88 already, this mark will be carried to A2. If she achieves the minimum mark for an 'A' in all of the components (i.e. 42 and 52), she would still end up with a B, because she would be 5 marks short of an A. To guarantee an A, she'd have to cross the minimum marks, i.e, get more than 63/100 on paper 42 and more than 19/30 on paper 52.
An A* is possible, but she'd have to score really high. So, at A2, with her current 88 at AS, she'd have to secure:
1) a further 105 marks for an A*
2) a further 87 marks for an A
3) a further 69 marks for a B
4) a further 47 marks for a C.

So, I would say she'd have to put in a lot of effort just to reach that A, but she shouldn't give up on trying to get that A*. However, if she doesn't put in the effort, her grade will drop. But I wouldn't worry about that, so she should just focus on getting that grade up.
