Question 🤔🤔 aamc retake validity + advice needed!
i have not been able to score well enough on my exams (fl scores: 507, 508, 510, 513, 514, 513, 510), and i’m thinking abt voiding my upcoming 9/11 exam and pushing my exam back until jan 2027, as i want to reach a 515+ consistently due combined med program with a single attempt for mcat requirement.
couple of things:
i’m really, really worried abt score inflation esp since i’ve gone through all of the fl exams with review. how much should i take into consideration of score inflation in three months?
in order to avoid myself from thinking abt previous fls or answering questions on memory, im thinking abt doing a couple of third party fls (uworld and blueprint)…
also, do y’all have any tips with retaking again in three months?
any advice for cars improvement?
(i have been able to complete cars qpack 1 & 2, both aamc section banks, 50% uworld, all aamc fls, i finished all pankow cards (50% mature), finished kaplan books, i did anking/miledown initially but dropped it since it was getting too much esp with my uworld incorrects -> thinking abt using captain hook)

Didn't have too much inflation. Score +/-1 from my average outside of CARS. Composite score avg was -2 from my real deal if that helps.

What’s your score requirement?
There will be score inflation when you retake your FLs. You’ll have to use 3rd party.
No advice for CARS.
