What can I do from now till then? I'm thinking of practising at least 1,000 random questions. Any other suggestions?

If you can get a copy of the failed exam, use that to study. See what questions you got wrong (and why) and focus on learning how to do those. Of course, still practice the things you got right, but put more focus on learning what you did wrong.

Going through random questions is not going to help you if you don't understand the material. Go through the book and the notes and try to pinpoint the portions of the material that you don't understand, so you can efficiently use your time and effort.
Learn the material that you didn't understand and get someone to walk you through the material if necessary. You still have time before your exam, so don't try to memorize random formulas and equations; understand where they come from!
If this "exam" that you're talking about is a comprehensive final exam, then go through your past tests. Which problems gave you a hard time? Why? Figure out the answer and more importantly, how to do them. Make sure you understand.
Blindly doing random problems would be just like banging your head against the wall: painful and pointless. Mastery of the material is key, not obsessive work.

Be specific, which of the calculus? Is it integration , differentiation or differential equation? All these have their formulae and methods that can be used to tackle them which am sure you've known them. Better still visit :www.karlscalculus.org
gd luck. I trust you at the end of your exam you will be smiling with distinction ! catch you

first make sure of the basics like differentiation, integration,trigonometry formulae . Also get some practice with simplification of fractions if you are not sure of that.
then go for your study material.
two to three weeks of hardwork should be enough.

Write down a list of things you don't understand. Problems you can't solve. And find yourself a good tutor. A few hours of personal tutoring will help alot.
