Went out the window

Hi teachers. I would like to know if the phrase 'went out the window' is used correctly here?

I had told myself repeatedly to be cool no matter what, but when it was finally my turn to say hi to him, my preparation went straight out the window and I started shaking and crying uncontrollably.

In AmE yes, but in BrE it requires of, as in my preparation went straight out of the window.
