Stick with original date or postpone for 2nd attempt?

Scheduled to retake the NCLEX on Monday the 17th, but getting anxious again thinking about it. These were my scores on bootcamp and I took three CAT exams on naxlexx with high pass rates. On my first attempt I had used uworld but looking back am kind of disappointed about my scores and would want to study more using uworld to see if I made progress but is that just going to trigger more anxiety?

So overall question: Do I take on Monday the 17th, or Friday the 21st?

For more context i failed the first time at 150 questions studying w uworld, mark k, dr sharon

Need advice about my second attempt

I took the NCLEX on July 1 and failed at 150 questions (you can refer to the CPR I attached). I previously studied for about 2 weeks with Uworld, all the Mark K lectures, and Dr. Sharon's videos. On Uworld I had high, low, borderline x2 on my self assessments. My CAT exam scores ranged from 57-71%. I wasn't extremely confident in my scores going into my first attempt, but ultimately, I felt that the anxiety I experienced once I was actually in the exam for over 2 hours may have led me to fail. Based on my CPR it also validated my feelings of thinking the exam was extremely vague compared to what I was used to on Uworld.

Now going into preparing for my second attempt I have been studying for about 2.5 weeks on Bootcamp supplemented with NCLEX Crusade videos and one NAXLEXx self assessment so far. I've had really positive growth using Bootcamp so because with each self assessment I found that I improved on the categories I was weak in previously and my scores have increased from 64, 71, 74, to 77% today. I took the naxlexx self assessment for the first time yesterday using the 2 week free trial and scored borderline which kind of lowered my confidence because it showed similar results as my CPR. However, it seems like the conditions of the free trial have changed and it wouldn't let me review my questions and rationale which I feel like is my biggest need. Today the site is entirely malfunctioning. Should I still take their CAT exams and a second self assessment? From what I've heard this qbank is reliable in terms of how vague the questions are.

I have scheduled to take the NCLEX on Monday, August 17th which is now four days away and I already decided I am not studying at all the day before. If you were me would you take it on the 17th still? The next available dates are further and more inconvenient locations and times on the 20th and the 24th. I also would just like general advice and tips or words of encouragement! Thank you!!
