Not too late at all. Most people I knew didn't start til a couple weeks before exams.

Of course not! Just put your mind to it and focus on studying productively! The best way is to make a timetable for yourself with dates and times and how you will cover everything! Once you have done this you will be able to properly revise!
Good ways to productively revise include
- using past paper questions
- practicing the questions you find hard
- focusing on harder questions

Don't forget to leave time to also have fun and relax!

If I was to sit them on the spot right now with no revision then maybe grade 5s or 4s

ok, its doable but you need to put more work in maths and english because they have a larger syllabus compared to the others, id struggle to believe that you can change it all into 7s, maybe 6s if you spread evenly but maybe spend more times on the subjects you care about and you can easily pump it up to a 7.

I started mine this week and I am creating revision cards as well as exam questions. It sucks. I'm hoping for similar results, mainly straight 7s. I think content wise it should be ok, motivation-wise for me means possibly not realistic but hope it is for you. Good luck!

Completely however you will possibly need to put a little more effort into revision than others who started a bit earlier. But If you are predicted grade 7 or around that then you should be in a safe bracket as long as you try and care

The best of luck

Start asap. The more you cram the less you`ll learn. There is actual scientific research showing this! Like this one for example: http://www.learningscientists.org/blog/2016/7/21-1
