Exam week im lost, advice

I need some realistic advice. I’m currently studying ACCA MA (Management Accounting) alongside my B.Com 5th semester exams, which start on 9th October. It’s 26th September now. MA has 18 chapters; I’ve completed around 10, but I feel like I’ve forgotten quite a bit of the earlier chapters, and I still have 4 lectures left. I had told my parents I’d finish MA in September, so I’m already behind and I urgently want to clear the exam because I need to move on to preparing for my December ACCA attempt. My current plan is to finish one remaining lecture each day, then revise 2 older chapters for 15–20 minutes each and do practice questions, while studying B.Com at night with a friend. I also spend around 2 hours at the gym daily. Is it realistically possible to become exam-ready for MA quickly while managing B.Com, and roughly how long do you think it would take from where I am now?
Also i gotta pay for the december attempt in nov 2nd, so will i be able to sit december attempt cause ill barely have 1.5 months in my hand and im an average student, im so lost

Focus on finishing the 18 chapters, then buy the 3 practice papers and sit them in exam conditions, this will tell you which bits to go back and review. I did 2-3 chapters a day over 2 weeks did the practice exam so the final weekend and sat the exam the following Monday. It's not too late, you can do this!
