After however many weeks YOU determine to work before attempting a 1 RM week (example 9th week could be a test/deload), you see where you stand. See how much you've progressed, and more importantly, what areas you need to address and strengthen.
Take that knowledge and apply it to your training. Sometimes it's as simple as fixing your technique and form.. Other times it's a weakness that can be fixed. My limiting factor has always been hammies and
conditioning. Since adding sled dragging twice a week in addition to gluteham raises, and higher rep deadlifting variations along the way, they're quickly becoming my strongest link in the chain and my recovery time between sets is reduced to a few seconds of huffing and puffing (like the first time you..... NM!)
