Puzzle streak tips

I am a 2300 in puzzles, but I am only 36 in puzzle streak. Any tips?
@ethanityz.
Take a break from all puzzles, or just chess in general for 2-3 weeks. Then come back, play puzzle streak again, and see what happens.
Might sound stupid but thats how I got my blitz to 1800+. Try it;)
@ethanityz my max its 26 so im not sure how good will be my tip, but

just take your time bro, if you got too focus and still didnt see it the best move, just take a nap, get some air fresh, go to walk or something then come back with a new perspective

Puzzle streak doesn't time you, so take all the time you need! You don't have to answer every puzzle in 10 seconds. Look at the position for a while and think this

"What are some options I can do?"

Think about what your opponent will do after, and if your choice is smart. Do you win material? Is it a checkmate? Think about stuff like that before solving puzzle streak; don't rush
Lol i just got 35, just 1 under my previous high score :(
Im 2200 puzzles but 18 puzzle streak and take my time!?

I am currently on 32, I don't play it that much, but I'd recommend if there are several possible solutions, try and calculate all of them and see which is best.
