In my case, I received it a month before the test.
The notification period for other people I know were as little as 10 days, to as much as 2 months.
So I guess the bottom line is: don't rely on receiving enough notice to start studying, and check your online status often because the mail may (and does) get lost some times.
Good luck.

Exactly. Start studying the book when you receive it. Read it at least once. Re-study it a few times once in a while. Then when you do get the invitation, you wont have to study the book as if you have never seen it before. That way you can better concentrate on the parts that are more difficult for you.

I got the letter 2 weeks before my test date. It caught me off guard since I hadn't really started studying before then. I did some massive cramming during those two weeks, probably studied harder than I ever had since University!
