Hi, I just wanted to add my experience with PAT on this thread. I took 5 weeks to get my CPL with PAT and have been very happy with the flying training provided as I passed my CPL first time.
If you're not ready for the test when you get to minimum hours then you will need more hours but that's based on individual performance, at the end of the day you won't find many schools that will put you in for test if they doubt your ability to pass!
