Finished UWorld and matured Anki, got 505 on FL5. Any advice? not sure what to do
I've finished all of uworld (except CARS) and sitting at 71% correct globally. I've matured all of Anking deck + I supplemented a lot with Captain Hook deck and my own cards so it really covers a lot. I've watched YouTube videos and taken notes for subjects I thought needed more attention from me. And I have a 505 (125/124/128/128) on FL5. Now, I totally understand thats not the worst score ever but I've really been trying for 515+ as my goal.
I took FL5 yesterday, but it's worth noting it is the first FL I've taken. The only other AAMC material I've done is CARS diagnostic pack, about halt way through it with 70% correct. I've attatched my score break down and I'm just feeling defeated. I made so many dumb little mistakes or errors in logic. I swear I know the content, I have so much memorized. I try to also actually understand concepts instead of just blindly memorizing too... idk man. My CARS score was the most surprising I really thought I did better but it was my worst by a mile. C/P too I thought I'd do better. Maybe I don't know the material well but I swear I do, especially having done all of UWorld and soooo much Anki (60k reviews so far)
Honestly I just feel dumb. Like after I've done so much I would expect to do better but maybe it's something about me that is making me not achieve my goal. I know theres still SB 1/2 and the other FLs but I just feel so bad about it.
In regards to time, I did finish each section with time to spare (from maybe 5 mins for CP to 25mins for Psych, for CARS it was about 10mins)
Anyone been in my situation and still achieved their target score? or any advice or comments, if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I need to change up my approach? Thanks
