Postpone MCAT, or bad idea? Help!

Hi.

I'm supposed to take the exam July 22nd. I'm mostly applying to DO schools (maybe a couple of MD) because realistically that's where I think I have the best chance. I took the AAMC scored exam today and received a 126/123/128/130. I'm really worried about my CARS score. I was doing really well on the Q packs, but the questions on this exam seemed SO much longer and harder! I've considered delaying my exam to August 5th, but I'm terrified if I delay my app any later, I'll get rejections left and right. I'm already taking a year off (I just graduated college). I also haven't gotten through all my content yet. Can someone please give me advice on whether to delay my exam? Thanks!

cGPA: 3.71
sGPA: 3.59

did you take any other practice exams? if so, what were your scores?
did you take the section bank? what were your % right?
If you are applying to DO schools, If I were in your position I would take it, just wake up and read dense articles until the mcat

My other scores have been fairly consistent with the score I got today. I just did better on the AAMC sample exam CARS, which was a 126.
I've done most of the section bank questions, but I wasn't keeping track of the % I got right.

**Correction, I did a rough conversion of my % right on the sample exam to a section score
