I just had my group class and had a strange time going from Bm to A, or Bm to G with an F#m thrown in for good measure.  It was an Irish tune called the "Musical Priest".    It was hard, but the experience was good, as was the fact that we did it several times over until it became second nature!

Going from Bm to F#m to G can be done more easily using all barre chords. 

Bm to F#m is a frequently used chord change.  Practice it until smooth.  You keep your barre finger in the same place, move your other three fingers over three strings (check a diagram to be sure on that) and lift your index finger in the process.  Then to go from F#m to G, just put down your fourth finger making the same shape as you had with Bm, but in the location of F#m and slide the whole kit-and-kaboodle up the neck one fret from the second fret to the third fret. 

Bm to A, you're on your own.
