Agree that your study program sounds pretty aggressive. Stay in the books, but turn in it down a notch for now.

As James said you don't yet know what it's "in play" for checkrides and interviews, so your work ethic will actually help you in the long run but eventually you'll learn to focus your studies better. But broad knowledge is helpful... people don't fail checkrides for one discreet event as often as you think, typically it's an accumulation or errors that tip the balance. If you start out on the oral with broad knowledge and insight, you've set a good tone for the flight portion... you might get a pass on a rough-around-the-edges maneuver (I have).

Same with showing up well-groomed, banks good vibes for later.
