Hi,
1.5 hours isn't enough. See if you can push it to 2-3 every day. Your little spongey brain can absorb a lot more than that.
Nice work on the essays. Take a little bit more time to summarize the lessons you learned in more words so that I can understand what you mean by cutting the corners. I also didn't know which questions you got wrong, so please take more time to describe those.
Also remember that 4 points out of 5 points is not a good score on the math section. Eventually, when you take this test for real in less than 2 years (yes, its that close!), you will be striving for not getting ANY questions wrong at all on the math section, and maybe 1-2 questions wrong on the others.
Don't be harsh on yourself if you get questions wrong, but make sure you actively diagnose WHY you got them wrong (even if it was a careless mistake, actively diagnose it)

Finally, what kinds of questions did you get wrong on the 45/56? what were those 11 questions like? was there a principle you didn't understand? what was it?
