How long it takes

There is a rough timescale for this, and it is worth having before you judge yourself against a single month.

About a year

Following one written plan consistently, a realistic amount of practice before you are competent at running it is around a year.

That is a typical length of practice, not a schedule. Many people take longer, and a year of inconsistent practice is not a year.

The unit here is months and years, not weeks.

What the year is made of

It is not a year of waiting. It is a year of sessions: the reading before the open, the trades that pass the checks, the record afterwards, the review at the weekend.
