I hit 95% accuracy on a timed LR section today! I got 21/22, and then overall 21/25 (didn’t have time for the other three.) Tips for improving speed?

ADDITIONAL INFO
The Discover card was my very first card I got to build credit while in school. I feel I’m ready for something else that has more benefits. I plan on keeping the discover open and just putting Spotify or something on it for the sake of history. I currently have no student loans but will be taking some out in about a year, so I’m looking to build more credit history to keep options open. I travel with my partner a few times a year, so a travel card was what I was thinking, as well as a more consistent cash back card. I also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew since I will be starting school in about a year and will have way less income.
I took about three weeks off of the test because of burnout. I'm back and studying for August. However, I'm feeling a bit down and worried that I won't get my goal score by then (165+.) I am so worried about it that anytime I'm doing anything timed, that score jump is all I can think about. My Jan test was a 161 and most recent PTs from May were 160, 158, 157. Any tips for staying motivated and not letting a slump make you throw in the towel? Or how to stop thinking about it so much?
I have been solely focused on LR, moving from a -15 a few months ago to -2/-4. I'm very happy with this, but since I've been so focused on LR my RC has been clearly ignored and is super rough. Any tips for improving this by the June (or August) test? My goal score is a 165+. Thank you!
Title. My actual score was a 18/25, BR was 24/25. 6/7 wrong answers were fifty-fifty’s in the answer choices and I have been feeling calm/confident under the time. Do I just need to keep practicing timed sections? How do I fix this? Thank you all!
