Quantify your own level of success, and go for that. What do you want to do life, and thus, which grades do you need to achieve?
I got an A and a B in design tech and electronics respectively. I was fine with those grades. Not over the moon. I could've achieved A*/A if I'd tried harder. Yet, I was so proud of myself (and my parents thought it was a great success) that I got a C in AS maths and A2 physics. I needed the maths to get into uni.
So yeah, whatever works is what you should aim for.

There is no cut-off point for good and bad grades. Good in this case is subject to the opinion of an individual. Someone might be predicted CDE and achieve BCC and be absolutely over the moon and think what they've achieved is brilliant. Someone else who is on track for straight As or A*s may be devastated with those grades, and anything less than A*AA.
Good grades are ones that reflect your true ability, and ones that you are happy with.

Like some others, my most optimistic predictions for A2 are A*A*A*.
It's safe to say I doubt I'll get those :P
But I think that even if I get a grade or two lower I'll be happy knowing I tried my best and there wasn't much more I could do.
Be realistic in what you want - but don't be afraid to aim high (like my teachers)
