No, it's exactly the same for all months. Normally, German nouns always come with an article or a word that can act as an article (a 'determiner'). Nouns standing alone without an article are the exception. Here is an overview of the most important cases when a noun stands without an article: http://is.gd/jqxdmV The whole section on the use of articles in German is worth a read, BTW. I suggest to stick to 'Der Oktober ist schön'.

I am confused as to how this owl translates schön. Here he says is is "beautiful" but in another exercise it continues to mark me wrong when i translate "die synagogue ist schön" as "the synagogue is beautiful ". There doesn't appear to be any consistency.
I've had the same kind of thing happen. They sometimes accept (or perhaps insist on) 'pretty' or 'nice' for 'schön.' I wish they'd be consistent in either allowing all of that or disallowing some of it.

No. You'd use something like "Der November ist gut." or "Der November 'eignet sich' / 'passt (mir)' gut."

"Dieser November ist schön." and "Der November ist schön."
"Der November dieses Jahr ist schön." and "Der Monat November ist schön."

Why is the answer here "This" not "The"? When is the definite article necessary with months etc?
