Personally, at this stage I would prioritize Understanding over Timing. If your BR is 169, that means even knowing the Wrong Answer Choice, and with Unlimited Time, there are still certain question types/difficulties that are falling through the cracks. Once you are able to bump up your BR score, which I see as an "Understanding" score, your Timed score will improve as well. Try to figure out what parts of these Questions are making them difficult for you, even without the time constraint. And drill that over and over. But this is super good!
I recommend getting into the weeds of how much time you spent on each question. Each time you do a practice test or full section, find the questions that you rushed and got wrong. Identify the type of question and a specific reason why you thought it was a question you could rush through. Then, also look at the how you're doing against the clock at different points of the section. For example, did you feel you had to rush in the middle portion of section 3 because you leisurely went through the opening ten questions? These are the question-level and section-level questions I'd want to ask myself to diagnose issues more specifically. Once you've named these problems, you can have one or more of these focuses in the back of your mind until it becomes part of your natural pacing.
I recommend, depending on how long you have until your test, seeing how pt 148-151 may treat you. I found the more recent ones to be a little more challenging.
Don't feel too terrible about, I rushed on section 3, any tips on slowing down, besides the obvious.
