To be honest 59/75 in P1 isn't whats called good.
With other getting over 70, chances of A* are almost gone and A lies in danger zone.

Don't lose hope and try to hit 48+ in P6.
That might increase possibility of an A.

Yeah paper was quite difficult was most of student managed it well (atleast ones I know) but no worries; score high in P6 and there's a good chance of an overall A.

i see.. but i heard that A* is only in A2 not in AS right? and what is S1?

Yes, for a-levels, A* is given only in A2.

S1 refers to statistics (paper 6)

Also depends on ur P1 marks. If u have good marks in P1 then about 45 in S1 should help u to get A overall.
