So today, I attempted a practice CAT exam for the second time but there was something I realized, i could not finish the CAT. My mind frame and mood was just all over the place and I was afraid I was getting everything wrong so I decided to pause it and take it later in the future but I really need some heavy advice as to how to really tackle this exam fever, good advice will be heavily appreciated, thank you.

Hi bosho1,
To properly prepare for the GMAT, you have to plan to take practice CATs at regular intervals AND in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). If you can schedule/plan your CATs in advance, then you might be better able to get in the right mindset for each of those 'events' and perform better.
From what you've described, it sounds like you've take just 1 CAT (and it was 2 months ago). Assuming that your Score Goal is still 750+, you're going to have to be more organized and efficient about your studies. Until we have a more recent (and realistic) CAT Score, we have no way of knowing how effective your studies have been - and what you'll need to focus on going forward. Once you have that next score, you should report back here and we can discuss how best to proceed.

Was this the first time this happened, or did you face the same problem during your first test? Sometimes just taking a few more tests will help a test taker get more comfortable with the process.
If it happened just this once, I wouldn't read too much into it. Try taking your tests when you're relaxed (not after a long day at the office, for example) and see if that helps before considering anything more substantial to address this issue.
