I totally get the stress, I’m in exactly the same boat here! With so little time to go you have to understand it’s still ok to take a step back and have a break. Make sure you aren’t overworking yourself and focus on maintaining your physical health through sleep and food etc.
In terms of exams, maybe focus on biology and maths for now, since there is a bit of a gap between bio1 and chem1. That way you can focus more on chemistry in that time. Hope that helps somewhat.

all im saying is exam boards are the worst, seriously.
exams aside, i lost one of my friends from highschool not long ago when he committed suicide, and i attended his funeral some couple of days before my exams start and i was given a 3% allowance on marks, not something i outwardly looked for but something.
another girl at my college was sectioned recently for, controversially, even though i do know her very well, her own acts of deciding to take drugs and abuse them which she admitted to me. she may have been in a declining mental state and been struggling but she was awarded a 5% allowance. now a figure of 2% is not something massive to me, but it is the highlight to where the priorities lie for exam boards.
this girl was also offered to recieve her predicted grades whilst she is still "sectioned", but i have to grieve the loss of my friend and still be expected to be completley 'compus mentus' for all of these exams, with a mere 3% allowance given and no additional support.
all in all, exam boards are a scurge and outdated. modular systems need to be brought back into place to reduce stress onto pupils and reduce the amount of weight being beared onto people who can barely drink for a large time of their education in this period. GCSE's too.
