I feel im unlikely to pass fully on the next test.
Only you know the reason for this belief. I'd say the best thing you can do...is to use today's experience as a positive. It happened and there's nothing you can do about it but what you can do is use it to your advantage...

It was a disaster from start to finish, mostly due to nerves.
...You have now experienced the dreaded IR flight test. Hopefully you'll be less nervous the next time because you've already been there! You know what is expected and that has removed the fear of the unknown; which I'm fairly sure is where the majority of the nerves stem from. pink flamingo and CAT3C AUTOLAND have first hand knowledge that you have the ability, so it seems the nerves took over.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck

P.S. I flew some IR lessons today and it was pretty choppy up there! I'm sure that didn't help.
