Hi. I want to complete FSI Programattic Spanish in the next three weeks. I started out at lesson 20 (of 45), and so far it's mostly review. Would it be a good idea to do one or two lessons a day so that I can finish on time, or would I forget a lot of stuff or not have it as second-nature by then? This is my first FSI course so I'm a little weary. Thanks. :)

Three weeks might not be enough. Units 21-45 will, according to the FSI, take 140 hours. It seems like you've had some prior experience with Spanish, so assume that you'll need just 100 hours. That's roughly 4.5 hours per day, and that's quite a chore.
 
As far as forgetting, I don't think that you'll forget what you learn, but going too fast, you might not be able to produce the sentences as quickly and fluently as desired.
