Urgent alevel physics help

Hi, I really need some advice.
I’m in Year 12, about 8 weeks into sixth form, and I’m struggling badly with A-Level Physics. I did Combined Science for GCSE and got an 8-7, so I thought I’d be able to handle it, but whenever I try to answer questions, my mind just completely blanks.
I spend hours learning the content and genuinely feel like I understand it while revising, but as soon as I try past papers or sit a test, it's like my brain shuts down and everything looks like an alien language. Everyone else seems to pick it up so naturally; they learn the content and can apply it straight away, but I just can’t seem to bridge that gap.
I had a test today and got a U… I honestly never imagined getting that. I have a retest next Monday on the same topics, and I’ve been told I need at least a B to stay in the course. I don't want to give up, but I'm overwhelmed and don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Has anyone else experienced this at the start of Year 12? How did you improve your ability to apply the knowledge to exam questions? Any advice or study methods that helped you would really mean a lot, please.

Same I also just started year 12 and I just did a physics tests and I completly blanked out even if I had studied the content repeatedly. I don't know if to practice more or meet my teachers because everyone else in my class seems to have an easier time with physics. I am just replying here so I'll get notified if someone has any advice or tips.
And goodluck don't give up we'll get better and push through this initial slump!!
