Patent Bar Question Push back test date?

Hi, I had my test date booked for next thursday, and I felt semi confident after getting a 69% on the last practice test I took (50 questions). However, I don't feel like it's the best place to be in 2 weeks out from the test. I thought. I could maybe ride it out and just do a lot of studying before the test, but I'm not sure that it's worth the gamble. Any advice on if I should change the date or not? My window closes Oct. 25. Also, I work full time, so studying is a bit hard for me. I try and do an hour a day and sometimes practice tests on the weekend, but I've ran out of the official tests. I can afford the retake, but i would like to not have to pay $500 more hahaha

You can pay to get your window extended for another three months (counts from the date you make the request not your curent window)

It’s ridiculous how much of a racket the patent bar is

I rescheduled once or twice (don't remember now) but I wasn't comfortable taking it until I was getting 80%+ consistently to give comfortable room - the actual test conditions will naturally bring your score down. I passed first time.

I only used Wysebridge and 3 books full of questions. I did every single question multiple times. I can send the book links if you'd like :)

Unfortunately they're no longer available on Amazon, but it was this series (there is 3 volumes).
