It definitely wasn't a month, I think it was a week or two before the fight. It certainly wasn't that long between Lee's fight with Gaara and Sasuke's match.

It was a month.  They were to train a month after the second test for the third.  The episodes made it seem like a week, since Naruto was passed out for most of it and training to summon stuff.

Edit- Nevermind.
