I have retake exams coming up which I’ve had the whole summer to prepare for, and because I’m a retard, I didn’t do shit. There’s 4 days left. How do I cram a fuckton of things into my head as fast and effectively as possible?

The key to memory is in the retrieval of information. When you read, that's just input. The brain doesn't know what input is important. When you retrieve, it signals the brain the info is important.

Download Anki onto laptop.

Can't help you.
All I can say is that if you are going to try it, make sure your routine is solid. Don't over work, but make sure your breaks are short and choppy.
No stimulants unless you're a regular drinker. Over stimulation leads to anxiety, which in turn leads to lack of knowledge absorption.

If all else fails, have a break down.

How does regular drinking contribute to it?

Then you're just topping up to feel normal. If you don't regularly drink them then you'll overload and freak out. Tolerance, mutha fucka.

You might want to check out "The Organic Chemistry Tutor" on youtube. Press 'k' for pause and 'j' to rewind ten seconds. Get out your calculator and punch in the numbers as he does them. You don't have time to write everything out.

The software can evaluate you skills and attack your weaknesses. I like using the number pad on right side of the keyboard to punch in the numbers. If your laptop doesn't have that, buy an external keyboard or number pad.

Wouldn’t writing what he does down be more effective in terms of memorisation or is that a myth? I’ve always been told handwriting things makes them stick better

This. Better yet, teach the material to a duck, or a person around. That will quickly expose gaps in your understanding and force you to ask and answer relevant questions. It's very effective.

Writing things down can be helpful. It keeps the info in short term memory for a longer time. However, with math and science problems you're not trying to memorize the numbers in each specific problem. It's the formula that's important. You need to know what buttons to push on the calculator. Pushing buttons is fast. Writing is slow. So you can do a lot more problems if you skip writing it down. If you are using a textbook, then you need to write it down. If you have a good software program, there is no need to write it down. The info is on the screen and you just punch in the right numbers.

for permanent remember, read aloud 101 times.
use a good summary, memorize it and fluff it by thoroughly skimming the whole reading material.

You might want to check out this video. He says a court stenographer can write everything down from a trail and not remember anything. The reason they don't remember is because they are not retrieving anything from memory.
