153 under timed conditions and a 170 untimed. Please help!

[desiboy96]

Okay so I messed up badly on PT 60. I got a 153 under timed conditions and a 170 untimed during my blind review process. Games is my strongest section and I was so confident I could get perfect this time around but when I realized I made a reading error for one of them, my anxiety sky rocketed for the remainder of the test and everything else took a hit.

Also while I did not find the LR or RC sections hard, I felt that I took way too long to answer the questions which prevented me from even finishing those sections. Btw I should also note that in general I'm really slow when it comes to answer LR and RC questions, this is the 8th test I have taken (this is the first one I did after two weeks all of the others I did months apart) and by the time I reached the third section, I started to feel fatigue.

Does anyone have any advice? I'm just really bummed
