GYG 25/26 from a possibly cooked y11

My first GYG! (Y11)
My current grades and what i want in the exams:
AQA:
Biology higher: 6 7
Chemistry higher: 5 7
Physics higher: 5 7
English language: 8 8 or 9
English literature: 6 7
Geography: 9 9
Edexcel:
Spanish higher: 7 7
Maths higher: 6 7
OCR:
Drama: 5- factors devising component 6
Eduqas:
Food prep and nutrition: 7- doesnt factor NEAs 7

Aiming for = italics

I think these are reasonable and I want to try my best to succeed!

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm Y11 applying for a prestigious (times top 50) and competitive local sixth form college, so need high grades ideally to guarantee a space. I already have a conditional offer, but I don't want to go anywhere else locally.

Good luck with year 11! They're very realistic grades, it's very heartening to see someone with achievable expectations. (as someone who got 666789 lmao)
I hope you get your space guaranteed! :heart:
