If you follow my method, you will have 3 decks to study from each day (Class + Combined Current + Combined Review). Ideally, you will almost never have new cards in the ‘Combined Review’ deck. Click the [Stats] icon from the main decks and see how many new cards you have waiting for you.

Now count the number of days you have before your next exam minus a few days. In the Combined decks, take the total number of new cards and divide by the number of days you have to study. This is how many new cards you have to complete each day so that you finish the deck before your exam. You will do the same for the ‘Class’ deck with cards that you made from your lecture material. Since you will not have the class cards pre-made, estimate how many you will make for each lecture, add up the total, and divide by the number of days to see how many new lecture cards you should do per day. Ideally, you won’t have to calculate this because you should be completing all newly made lecture cards the day they are made. (Ex. If for the current deck I have 550 cards and I want to complete them in 14 days. 550/14 = about 40 new cards per day)

You study session should follow this sequence: ⟶ ‘Class’ ⟶ ‘Combined Current’ ⟶ ‘Combined Review’. Once you finish studying a deck you will see a ‘Congratulations’ screen stating that you have finished your reviews for the day ("Today's review limit has been reached, but there are still cards waiting to be reviewed. For optimum memory, consider increasing the daily limit in the options"). Because the options for these decks are set to 50 New and 50 Review cards, you may still have cards remaining. Always remember the number of new cards you have to complete for each deck per day. On the ‘Congratulations’ screen, click [Custom Study] and the first two option will show you how many total New and Review cards you have remaining in the deck. Select ‘Increase today’s new card limit’ and add cards on top of the 50 so you can reach your daily requirement. Do the same for reviews. Ideally, you want to complete ALL due review cards for each day. The 50N 50R setting allows you to have control over how many reviews you are doing so to not get overwhelmed on busy days. If you do happen to fall back on reviews, just increase the number the next day to make up (missed reviews always carry over to the next day).
