This is really bad... the best you can do is think about what complex themes there are in 1984 about human experiences. At this rate cliche doesn't matter, you just need to write a decent, complete essay that responds to the question, so maybe even look at sparknotes to give you somewhere to start from. Then, find a bunch of quotes from the text that illustrate your chosen themes and identify their techniques. After you've prepared your ideas and quotes, start writing paragraphs for each of them that you can adapt to a full essay. If they want you to talk about form and context, just do a little bit of research and talk about it briefly in each paragraph. Have you written a practice essay? If not, do that RIGHT NOW and memorise as much of it as you can.

honestly it might be worth it to just go to acehsc.net and just copy key analysis/quotes. can't do much the day before, good luck

I'm also studying 1984 and my best advice for the common mod is to understand and use words from the rubric to strengthen your thesis!
I'm pretty sure acehsc has an analysis table for each of the themes and main characters, but if I were you I'd be planning an adaptable thesis and essay plan and memorising quotes and their analysis
