How much time should I give myself for the PT stage?

  It will depend on the person but I recommend giving yourself time to review each PT. Doing them all in November will be a rush and you won't absorb what you need to. I did 3 PT's a week leading up to my September test and that was a good pace for me.

  I don't think all in November is adequate time to recoup between tests. You need at least a day in between or you'll burn out. I think JY recommends no more than 3 per week (see his info on this in the course).
  
  Plus I swear by blind review (watch all of his videos on BR). You need to make sure you blind review your PTs afterward (even the day after) to make sure you get the most out of them - otherwise you're squandering valuable stuff you can learn from the PTs and you're cheating yourself from real gains.
  
  I want to emphasize that if I had to make the choice, I would do fewer PTs if it meant I could BR the PTs I do take. BR is that important!

  Any more suggestions on this topic? I'm halfway through the course and am hoping to finish it before November so I can dedicate November to just PTs.

  It all depends on your strengths/weaknesses. I would say blind review is very important, so don't try to burn yourself out or do too many PTs and not be able to adequately review your answers.
