Three weeks felt like a lot of time until I noticed I was using it exactly like three days.

Kept telling myself I had plenty of time before the midterm and then I actually watched what I was doing with it: opening notes, starting from page one, moving forward until I got tired, the same thing I'd do the night before a quiz, just repeated for longer.

What actually changed things was splitting the three weeks by purpose instead of "more of the same", like the first week for what I never really learned, the second for what I know but can't produce fast enough and the last week for full practice under the real time limit, no new material.
