to void or not to void

Question 🤔🤔

so due to procrastination and discipline issues i don’t think i did my best to study for this exam, and i only took two fls in which i plateaued around 508. i didn’t finish the captain hook anki deck and only did about 13% of uworld. i’m thinking of voiding tomorrow since i know it’s not my best (yes 508 is pretty good, u can go to med school with that, etc etc but i KNOW i can do better so it’s disappointing if i have to settle, and also for context i go to a T20 so there’s dual parts the social pressure of everyone around me doing super well on this, and also the knowledge that i definitely have the ability to do as well as them and i just didn’t study as well as i could). i’m also not applying this cycle, so i can definitely retake in jan/feb especially if i’m actually disciplined this time. however i’m worried that since I’m going into the exam with such an “idc” chill attitude that this might be a case where i exceed my fl by several points because i’m not that stressed about it, and i don’t want to void if i do end up performing super well. it’s just hard to gauge however since i didn’t take any fls more recently to see where i’m currently at, just the two i did late july (i stopped taking the rest so that it’s not inflated for when i retake) so i don’t want to risk actually scoring lower if i’m a bad judge. i get this is totally my fault but i’m wondering if anyone has any insight or experiences to share before i go in tomorrow 8/21
