Support / Advice / ? Throw in the towel

I am currently doing my PPL (attempting to) I have just clocked up 80 hours ( I have been having lessons at varying points over the last few years with gaps - but of late 1 lesson every 1-2 weeks for an hour).

I am struggling with my navigation - If I get the nav right my tolerances suffer, if I get lost it all suffers)

Last week I did everything ok and my instructor said of test standard, today it all went pear shaped and was the worse flying I had done tolerances and nav lost on all 3 legs.

My instructor recommends that I go away and consider will I ever master this and get PPL- he won't put me forward for test ( rightly so) based on one good flight.

I have 10 hours of a booking left - which will make 90 hours, if I'm not ready for test then I'm considering throwing in the towel.

Does anyone have any recommendations, thoughts, tips, advice or should I just quit now

Disgruntled, frustrated, and incompetent student pilot
