Did you already have a class date prior to COVID?
Unless they drastically changed the training curriculum after COVID, you’ll be way ahead of the curve if you show up with all of that down. I didn’t start studying for the ATP written until I was in the hotel for ATP-CTP and did quite well, but starting two weeks out from test day is the general recommendation. I began looking at the Supplemental Study Guide in the lobby after I passed the written. Flows, profiles, and callouts were the toughest things for me because I hadn’t explicitly dealt with them in my prior flying. Going to the training center with my sim partner and practicing flows on the paper tigers helped a lot as having the physical cockpit in front of you is huge for building that muscle memory. Take one thing at a time and you’ll be just fine.
