I seriously need some help... ASAP

Ive been studying throughout the holidays for my half yearlies, but i need to do cramming sessions tonight and tomorow night, to catch up.
MODERN HISTORY, ive been avoiding it all the time, i just cant stop freaking out now. How do i cram WW1 & Russia?

What methods will be best?

Do i have time to write small notes, or should i just read my info and do past papers. And also, should i just type it all? Typing is literally 10000x faster than writing for me.
PLEASE give some advice comrades!

To be frank, if you don't have time to do notes, scab them off Bored. You're just going to waste valuable time typing up crap when you could be reading a variety of notes and resources that, in some cases, are very detailed. Cram and repeat it as much as possible. Draw mind maps, construct study cards with dates, ask a friend to quiz you.

For WWI, practise practise practise. Deconstruct sources, and use the acronyms (eg TOMAC) provided in the WWI forum. Know the key facts straight, but more importantly, know how to incorporate the sources within your argument.

For Russia, you could try risking it by studying a certain half of the relevant dot points. Mind you, I'm not encouraging you to do so, but if time is such a crucial factor, it could be a possibility. Read your notes, know how to make links, refer to past responses but more importantly, try doing essay plans. You don't have time to construct complete essays, so go for simple essay plans with key points so that you can be exposed to as many topics as possible. And if you manage to do all that and have precious time left, learn a few historians and paraphase their main arguments.

Best of luck.

Read other people's notes (good ones of bored as Kujah suggested will do) and do past papers.
