I took the writing sample a week after the test day and wait another week to get approval.

I think using the official lawhub tester will help a lot. I've always been using 7sage standard interface, but the spacing and arrangement of text is different from the real one. Use lawhub for PT and input all the answers to 7sage site afterwards for analytics purpose might be the optimal choice

I always highlight the low-resolution main topic for each paragraph, a different highlighter for terminology and names, and underlies the details I can't easily remember.

The same thing happened to me. Personally I felt there were several PTs especially difficult comparing to the others. Not sure whether this is the reason in your case, but the only advice is don't panic, try to analyze the questions you got wrong and keep going forward, it will get better!

Did you rebound? If so, how?

Yes I rebounded. Try to identify some recurring mistakes, make a list to remind yourself every time before taking a PT, and search for similar questions to test your improvements. Honestly, such a sudden drop in PTs scores will help you to see your weakness and prepare better for the testing day.
