I'm not sure if you're allowed to quit and start again, I think you have to let the 18 months lapse. Personally I'd take the last 8. If you pass it'll put you 18 months ahead albeit with ropey scores. That 18 months could put you the right side of a recession.

You need to ask yourself some hard questions:
Realistically are you going to do much better if you start again? Is this the career for you? - ATPLs are the easy bit. Jobs are getting scarcer and interviews tougher. Passing a type rating requires constant work and you'll be studying every 6 months for the rest of your career.
