I'd do very, very few. The test is coming up soon, and you realistically won't get much out of PTs.
Why do we do PTs? Well, timed practice is part of it, but a big part is the diagnostic function it serves; you can get a sense of how you'll perform on the real day and then make adjustments accordingly. Your test is in 2 weeks, however - there just aren't that many adjustments you can make between now and then. And if the purpose is timed practice, you can get that by taking timed sections.
But taking PTs so close to the test DOES have downsides. It can be demoralizing/frustrating/etc. And you don't want to risk getting upset by a bad score.
So my advice would be to "taper" - take 1, maybe 2 PTs this week and then none the week of the test. Focus on doing timed sections and, over time, switching towards really just doing drills.

@raffipiliero553 How many timed sections should we take each day?
