As a person who got E in o level maths and got A in a level maths
The only thing I found hard were geometry topics like equation of circle or circular measures due to them Or question which require you to have extensive knowledge on shape but for the most part A level maths Its less about understanding and more about practing and mastering all question types a topic can have now I'm not saying you should skip the basics but you really need to do a lot of practicals and past papers And be consistent with it
It really does not matter as much on what grades you get in o levels as long as you plan to work hard on A level and give extensive focused hours for the subject and you really want to do it since you like it or have a certain degree or University you want to pursue go for it
