Failing all lateral IBD modelling tests

Every single time I just run out of time. I've spent so many hours building lbos and 3 statements fom scratch and timing myself yet somehow I still fail them. At what point do I just give up my career? I'm clearly not cut out for a job I've been doing for 4 years already and I'm desperately trying to catch up on technicals I didn't get exposed to on the job. What is wrong with me?
