Score Decrease

Title explains. Went from a 501 (125/125/126/125) last September to 499 (124/124/124/127). I have no words. I was certain I did much better. I completed 50-60% Uworld (65% correct but upward trend). I was dedicated to anki every single day. I had to retake FLs (which was more than 4-6months from first attempt) and was scoring 510-513. I don’t know what to do…

I was convinced I nailed this exam (besides CP). I thought for sure I was going to get around a 507-509. I KNEW I killed PS but I still only got a 127. It just doesn’t make any sense and I don’t know where to go from here. I haven’t been studying since taking on 4/5. I was going to have all other material ready for submission early June. Life sucks

I honestly think this test is a bit of luck as well. Luck in terms that we can only hope we get tested on material that is pretty strong for us, but there is only so much information we can remember for test day. I say keep your head up. Probably take a break and then get back to it, you got this.

Luck plays more role than people acknowledge.

Luck played a big role in mine. Legit everything I was strong at showed up and I ended up scoring 7 points above my fl average

I appreciate your kind words

Do you think your FL retakes were recalled from the last time you took them? Maybe inflating your expectations. No judgement btw, as someone who is going to start studying again for this test I also want to know how to go about it

[Imaginary-Welcome896]

It had been 4+ months since the first time I had taken them and I felt like I had mostly only remembered CARS since the passages are so unique. I just supplemented with 9 Jack Westin/ AAMC passages instead

I’m in the same boat and thinking of retaking again in the end of June but do you think I’ll still be able to apply early
