hey, so i have absolutely no motivation to study for chem. like none at all. obviously i want to do well in it but my sac's haven't been too good and i feel like i've forgotten most of the content. i had other exams these past 2 weeks so i've only been focusing on them and because of that, i have done no practice exams for chem. where would you recommend I start with my revision. i know the exam is really soon but i know that if i work hard these few days, i can build up my confidence. i was thinking of making flashcards with the concepts and definitions but i'm not sure if that's a waste of time. please give me your advice, thanks !!

I think you're better off practicing standard type problems than memorising definitions.
I'd consider doing 2 open book exams today, and closed book exams on subsequent days. If you can do exam questions by topic, eg 10 questions on equilibrium, 20 questions on galvanic cells, 10 questions on electrolytic cells that may be really useful.
In then end, you know your learning styles better than I do, and you have to make the decisions.

I'd definitely follow miniturtle's advice with practice exams. :)
In addition (and if you have time), you can definitely still use flashcards to learn the theory/definitions. :)
Last year, I made mindmaps to cover the content, which worked fairly well too, so there's another idea, if you're visually inclined. ;D
