Curiosity on A levels

So, I don’t think I did particularly well in my GCSEs.
I got a Dinstinction* in health and social care, eight in English Literature, 8 in English Languge, 8 in History, 6 in drama, 5 in photography, 4:4 in science and a 4 in maths.
( I did bad in the sciencey/mathematical subjects)
Anyway, I was just wondering if it would be possible for me to achieve 3 A’s at a level or would it appear too unrealistic for my expectations.
I am taking philosophy and ethics, history and English Literature.

History and English I actually did well in purely from hard revision, so I’m worried it’ll get more intense now and I won’t be able to do well.
I just want to know if my expectations are too high.
considering you got 8s in history and english literature, yes it is more than possible for you to achieve AAA at a level. you did more than "well" in your GCSEs.
as long as you avoid science you'll be fine. i do eng lit, i got an 8 in it at gcse, but a 9 in eng lang and 9 in history. i've heard history is incredibly hard from my friends who do it (who both got 9s) so you may struggle if it was purely from revising
