Yes definately ! Never doubt what youre capable of. When i was doing A-levels i got U in my chemistry mock, by summer i managed to get an A It all depends on how you work fron NOW. Not tomorrow or the day after.
Is it possible to move from an E in as physics in mocks to an A by the summer, provided I work really hard?
Its definitely possible, its really easy to move up to a high C or B, getting into A is abit more tricky but if you start working now and focus on past papers you can definitely do it.

Thats very true, what sort of revision methods did you use for it? and how far ahead did you start revising for the summer exams? Thanks for commenting!

Should I start revising for the summer now? And the problem is that my school is doing the new physics alevel so there are no past papers for that
I'm willing to lose sleep for this haha, thank you

Ah, the past papers thing is quite a setback, most people who I know found them really useful. You can still try looking at questions from the old spec if it is very similar as it usually is, the exam board usually put out 'specimen' papers which are like a past paper but no one has actually sat it. You could get your teacher to give you questions they might expect.
And YES start revising now, I got my A's by spending 1hr a day (at lunch) revising or doing past papers in the library. This gave me loads of free time to go out with friends or chill on evenings and weekends but I started this proccess early, at least 3 months in advance of the exams.

Ive always used past papers to revise Initially learn the contents, make notes. I use to read texts from the book and say to myself "ahh ill remember it, i dont need to write it down". But that was one my biggest mistakes
Make notes. Go over notes. Answer practice papers (This gets you use to the structure of exams) If you can answer, go back tonyour revision guide and find it. Go over it. Continue to next qs.
Its a routine you have to put in. Especially when you start uni
Once i received my U, i realised straight away i need to fix up. I did exactly that. Mon - Friday after college i use to eat and then revise for 3 hours. Id do all my homework and revision in that time And id have weekends to relax or do extra work
My advice is .. revise early ! Your exams are only 4 months away.

This is incredibly useful, thank you! I'll try and make a lot more comprehensive notes, and go over them instead of just reading it.

I've done the specimen paper several times but it doesnt really cover the whole unit very thoroughly unfortunately. Asking for questions is a good idea though, thanks Well done on your A's btw! What other subjects did you take, if you dont mind me asking?
