Try not to get frustrated at attempting to play the marked tempo. It is much more important to play the piece cleanly, with a rich tone, solid rhythm, and dynamics. Practice it at a tempo that you can play it completely correctly. Then gradually increase the speed. There will be some spots that may need more repetitions at the slower tempo. You should focus on these more. All State preparation should be fun and a time where you focus your practicing to get better on your instrument.
