Hey GoBlue,
Love the username...hopefully you're still enthusiastic about it after the last three games.
A few thoughts:
1) It sounds like timing-related errors are a big part of what's holding you back, so I don't know that in your case taking timing out of the testing equation is going to be what works best for you. Actually, you may be better served by continuing to keep pacing as an emphasis, and holding yourself accountable for minimizing those errors.
2) There is definitely value in doing untimed questions and even an untimed practice test (although practice tests are in shorter supply than you might want, so be careful) - in the beginning with many concepts you'll need more than 2 minutes per question to understand how to solve them. In order to do something quickly and accurately, you need to be able to "just do it" first! Don't make timing a priority that supersedes knowledge and accuracy.
In your case, though, it sounds like your errors are less about not being able to solve the questions and more about making silly mistakes because of timing. I'd recommend that you do some pacing drills to force yourself to make good decisions quickly. For untimed tests/questions, I think the real value there is in better learning the material and question types...if you already have most of that down, I think you're probably best served by working on minimizing your mistakes.
