I’m just gonna throw my two cents into this discussion as I was in your position for the November 2018 exam.
I wouldn’t be so concerned with the dip in your recent scores, as it is not that uncommon to have a few lower scores on PTs. I was scoring fairly consistently in my PTs, mostly in the upper 150s with the occasional score in the low 160s as well as a couple in the low 150s.
I think it’s good that you have a target score that you’re dedicated to achieving and I completely understand the test anxiety. Personally speaking, my anxiety was so bad during my 3 months of study and then on test day, I was super relaxed since it felt like any ordinary PT. I ended up getting the exact same score that I got on most of the PTs I took, but many people I know “peaked” and scored higher than what they were getting on PTs.
My advice would be to take the January exam. You can do everything to make yourself relaxed in your prep, as I did, but I think the best way of really knowing if the prep has helped you improve is to just take it and see how you do on the real thing. Good luck!
