That is generally not a good idea, especially with the two you chose whose syntax is quite different. Now trying to learn Pascal and its syntax will be even more of a challenge. You should only ever focus on learning one at a time.

If you are competent in any programming language, then learning another is always a lot quicker as you have the "basic skill set" of analysis, design, coding, testing, and debugging built up to the point where they are automatic - it's just the syntax and frameworks that the new language works under that you need to pick up.

But ... Javascript? Python? It's reasonably dodgy calling them programming languages anyway: Pascal is a very different beastie, and unless your JS and Python experience are pretty extensive, they won't help you much at all. Neither of them support pointers for example - which are essential for Pascal work.

I'd suggest you wouldn't pass the exam with that little time to "bone up" on a new and very alien (to your experience) language.
