If you intend to absorb every page, then no, it's not possible.

But it's possible if you only read the sections that you need to absorb, and ignore the rest. The best way to save time in reading is to choose not to read something.

1000 pages omg i would die haha.

i guess all you can do it try.  does it have to be 7 days.  what about 10 days.  100 pages a day seems doable.

just break it up and take breaks so you actually take in what you read. i find it easier to read lots of little bits (i.e. 20 - 30 pages at a time) rather than to read a massive amounts of writing.

er...

i think we complete a unit per semester so its a subject per semester, and don't we use a book per subject? so we need to finish reading the textbook + do heaps of questions b4 the exam. and the word FAIL ain't in my dictionary :-\

i have heaps of other bricks to go through as well so i guess i ll give my self the month before uni to go through everythingomagy.

maybe give myself 10 days like what stonecold said  :)

I personally haven't done it. I've read about 700/1100 pages of Stewarts in about 1.5 weeks while doing many exercises from each chapter, this was about 6-7 hours a day. So unless you want to really get a good grasp on the concepts I think you'd need a longer period of time.
