Is it too late to get 9s?

These are my grades currently
Maths - 6
Biology - 8
Physics - 6
Chemistry - 7
Computer Science - 8
English Language - 7
English Literature - 7
French - 4
History - 7
Music - 6

Do I have time to push all these grades up to all 8s and 9s with the time I have left? ~7 weeks (with the exception of french)
I haven't done any revision so far and only did a little bit for my yr 11 nov mocks. Has anyone else also been in a similar situation to me and has any tips or methods they used to get 8s and 9s?

Always aim as high as you can. You can definitely boost English Lang and English lit by looking at what structures to use- look at YouTube videos of people who got nines or take notes from exemplars. Sciences just do practice questions and start to memorise mark schemes and how to answer to get marks as it can be quite specific. History might be more complicated due to amount of content ut just try and make concise notes and make sure you keep recapping it so you know all the content (and obviously be able to use it to annswer questions). I didn’t do music or computer science so I’m not sure for those. Honestly make sure you are doing at least 2 hours of work/ revision a day (not including school). This is doable and if you are already doing more than make sure this actually effective revision. maths just practice questions all the time and going through the ones you get wrong multiple times
