I'm curious about what my strategy should be in regards to how often I should be taking practice tests. Perhaps every other week is a good cycle so that you will have had some time to practice and refine test-taking strategy as well as learning from the mistakes of the previous practice test?
How far apart should practice tests be spaced out?

This is how I would think.
I'd prefer taking 7-8 practice tests for best results (includes 4 GMAT Preps)
You can't go wrong even if you equally space them out in your total duration of preparation.
So,
Is your GMAT 3 months away? Then, 90/7 = 13
So in this case, you could space your tests once a fortnight.
Regarding the first test, there are different schools of thought. I believe in taking a diagnostic GMAT Prep in the beginning to best assess where I stand and what my strengths and weaknesses are. Your test results can be analyzed threadbare by a GMAT Prep or even an experienced GMAT taker!
Cheers!
