Last minute study for chemistry open book exam

I’m taking my exam in 5 days from now and i’m not really prepared.
I was recently admitted to the hospital for ruptured appendix so i’m taking the exam a bit later than others alone.

I’ve printed all of my lecture notes and i planned to go through all of them. But i’ve read that for open book exams, the lecture note will not help much. More like just guides for the fundemental.

These are the subjects i’ll be taking the exam for:

  1. Organic Chemistry
    -retrosynthetic analysis/ selectivity/ asymmetrical synthesis
    -stereochemical control in asymmetrical synthesis + mechanisms for organic reactions using physical organic

  2. Inorganic chemistry
    -organometallic chemistry and their reactions/ 18 electron rules
    -ligands
    -chemical equations and identities of compounds from reaction given

  3. Catalysis
    -importance/role/evaluate reactions
    -heterogenous catalyst design
    -homogenous catalyst
    -preparation of catalysts

Any tips and suggestions for additional materials i can read and refer to? Thank you so much.
