Help! Retake in June but burned PT's for February test

I dont think I am technically a retaker you will see why - I was scheduled to take this February test, BUT due to a personal crisis situation I could not take the test :(, yeah life happens too!!!
I am shooting for the 2019 app cycle and am planning on registering for the test in June 2018. My avg PT score is 168, which is not great I know but was a journey from my 153 diag score (shout out to JY's CC and 7sage community).

I have been working for a big technology company for the past 6 years a.k.a hectic 50 to 60 hr work week + I am a parent of a toddler.

Now with all that said my current situation is that I burned a lot of PT's specially the modern PT's 70 -83. I tried to be very diligent and do a thorough BR after each PT, I only have PT77 and PT78 untouched which sucks. I finished the CC last year. As for sections I am good with LG -0 mostly and sometimes -1 if i hit a hard games, LR is decent, RC is my worst section (-7 avg) I am still haunted by a -11 on PT74 RC.

I am paralyzed and not sure how to proceed with the prep for June, I now want to aim for 170+. My brain is still reeling from recent events and I cant think of how to prep and how to PT. Also, since RC is my weakest section I tried drilling earlier RC's before the february test and they seem way different (easier) after doing 70+. I will take a 2-3 week break come back renew my 7sage account to begin with.

Please advise on a prep strategy, after all that rambling I want to say I have been on 7sage for 1 and half year now learned so much and very good to hear 7sagers success stories, very motivating.

    You're overreacting. Save PT77 and PT78 for the end. Get a hold of tests before 70 or sign up for a subscription that gives you access to them.

    Just to clarify I did take earlier PT's as well, I used up about 70% of earlier PT's 21- 69 either as full PT or section practice. Hence my anxiety. I was planning on keeping whatever score I get and work with it so I went all in :| never thought of a scenario in which I will not be able to take the test.

    You don't need to take every single PT. That 30% is enough. I don't think you even need to take all of those exams.

    You don't need the element of surprise to stay sharp.

    168 is a great score .. but it depends where you are applying. Don't burn yourself out by studying too much though. Take breaks .
