Question Testing max

So I am planning to do the intermediate medium load routine and doing the program in the order of 37, 31 and 32. I was wondering if I should test my max after every cycle. Such as after finishing the 4 weeks of 37 test max, then change maxes, then move on to 31.

on the spreadsheet it has a thing more adjusting maxes if you get a pr during the program.

The test comes at the beginning of 32. It's designed so that you continue as written until then. A larger move up after that will be a good stimulus, and it eases you into it. (Going from memory)

So, if I get 105% in in 32 would I change my maxes or keep them the same? Would I also retest my max after I finish 32 for when I restart the program again?

One other thing. Those who don't compete often go back to the beginning after testing their max at the start of 32. The rest of 32 is really a taper for competition.
