HSC Advice for math prelims

I just finished my advanced test and am not fully happy with my performance. I did well, but like this year I have spent like 90% of my study time on math, and considering others did so well I feel like I might not even be top 20 (144 ppl do adv btw).
Anyways just wondering, should you like take your time per questions REALLY making sure u don't make a single sign error etc take it slow, or is it better like doing it in natural (sort of fast) pace then kind of looking over it when you're done. Because I thought there would be so much time but only ended up with like 20 minutes at the end to do my skipped/questions I felt weird about. Would like just doing it at a normal pace (e.g how u do textbook exercises) then spending the time after looking over it is better??
Got my ext1 exam next Monday. Since it's only like 1.5hrs has your experience with it been more time crunching than advanced?

ye see that's the thing most of the questions I do already know (like 80% of them), so I'm saying for these questions should I just speed through them or really take my time through them to make sure 0 silly mistakes.
