JF is correct. Don't obsess about how close you are on the first past through especially. You have to go over it again regardless in most cases. I was taught to do the pitch raise as quickly as possible. It took me a couple of hours was my first time through a piano just for the pitch raise. My dad made me time myself. I suggest likewise. Next time shoot for a few minutes less or more if you can. When you achieve that goal cut it down by several more minutes until you can raise pitch 1/2 tone or more in less than 10 minutes. Learning this will leave you 50 minutes or more for the final pass or two.
