My scores keep decreasing... help!

I'm really confused about my practice test scores. I scored 166V/167Q on Powerprep 1 before I did any prep at all. After prep, I got 166V/168Q on practice test 1 in the main GRE prep book by ETS. Since then, however, I've scored 163V/166Q on Powerprep 2, and have thus far missed 5 verbal and 4 quant questions in the first sections of each on the second ETS book test (I'm doing that one in sections). I definitely don't want to be missing 4-5 questions per section (I'd like to get it back down to ~2), but I don't know what I'm doing wrong!
I consider myself a good test taker; time is not an issue for me at all. In fact, I usually have 5-10 minutes at the end of each section so I think I might be rushing. Even trying to be mindful of this, I still feel like I'm in a freefall when it comes to my scores. What do I need to do to help me get back on track to 166+ in each section??? (oh yeah, and my test is in two days

Complex scenario
I think is better inside each section of the test to navigate and tackle the questions you feel more comfortable and sure to tackle FIRST.
The backward. This is a possible strategy to gain time and not to run out of time at the end of the test.

Update: Took the Princeton Review practice test and got 161V/162Q. Seriously freaking out. I don't get it!! I'm incredibly relaxed taking the exam, no serious issues with time. How am I continually getting WORSE?????
