I have about...20 hours left before My verbal Exam. What do I do to efficiently use my time to memorize at least Katakana Characters on time?

Also, I have an upcoming Katakana Test on Saturday, so yeah.

Also, Also, I have A "Sensei for a Day" project where I have to film a video of myself accompanied by a powerpoint presentation of my "interactive game". Length needs to at
least be 2mins or longer.
>Must be spoken in Japanese
>Deduction points if my Japanese has grammatical Issues
>Already late, but it's fine. I HAVE TO pass this, regardless.

It might seem like a bother, but I am genuinely cramming this week just to not repeat my Foreign Language class. Know this, I did NOT pick Japanese. My mistake was me not knowing I could drop a class. Already at the Finals. It's all or nothing.

You haven't memorized hiragana and katakana? How long have you been learning Japanese???

Google it, use the mnemonics, each character looks like a ridiculous cartoon that sounds like the hiragana. It works.

4 months, but have been bogged down with other subjects and couldn't find the utilization where I use Japanese in my waking moments.

All I've actually somehow remember are the あいうえお

Update:

I am currently melting my brain after studying for 4 hours with memorizing it in Anki and in Duolingo. It is 11 pm. Exam starts at 1pm. I wish the tower of Babel gets erected again.

Planning to stay up all night. I'll keep updating every hour at this point just to keep my sanity at bay.

Scribbling Hiragana Characters on my notebook like a loony bin patient

I found the best tactic for verbal/board exams is to distract the examiners with some interesting tidbit and run the clock out

May require charisma

I actually did it! That's only on the verbal though. The exam was about Responding to social queues. The reading part were just the questions.

After reading said question on the paper, we have to answer said question. I was totally unprepared, so I pulled out Shit I can remember from Berserk.

The paper reads:
"Daigaku no tomodachi wa daredesu ka?"

A:
"hai, Griffith san wa de daigaku no tomodachi desu."

I got 14/15 on the Q/A. Professor said I had some wrong grammar and the delivery was stiff.

The reading part though, even if it was stiff, I did get a 15/15

Now, my task is to make a sensei for a day video. She announced that if my score on that video is 18+/20, we're exempted on the written, so I have to do my best to make this video project polished af. It's currently Thursday, deadline is on Saturday

Also, the subject of the Sensei for a day is to use Katakana examples as an Ice breaker. video length should be at least 1+ mins long.
