Off course option 3 is the only correct option. Just give your instructor a heads up so he knows when to open the door.

I usually do 4 in combination with another.

I did quite a few events with ATE fluid before I found it's limit. I don't think a novice would be punishing the brakes hard enough to boil ATE fluid especially in the cooler weather. I've had good results with the Motul and AP, definitely handles the temperature extremes a little better and are more reasonably priced than the SRF.
