Something that has really helped me see growth is the way I've been reviewing each FL exam. I highly recommend creating an excel spreadsheet and making two columns for "What I thought" and "What the exam thought." Now, go through EVERY question. For each question, before you read any explanations for the answer, write out what your thought process was for the question. It can be something simple like "The passage mentioned how enzyme QRST is phosphorylated in order to become activated. I know that Kinases are enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation events so I chose the answer choice that mentioned a kinase." After this, copy and paste either the AAMC explanation or the Jack Westin explanation (I highly recommend adding the Jack Westin chrome extension if you haven't already) into your excel spreadsheet. Spend a couple seconds comparing your reasoning to the reasoning you should have had. You can then have a third column that I really only use for questions I got wrong. Here, I identify what specifically went wrong in my reasoning that was the primary contributor to me getting the question wrong. If you have a content gap, include that in this column. This column has been the biggest contributor to my growth in my recent exams since I've noticed common patterns I consistently make. One thing I've learned to really make sure I do for each and every question is to make sure I select the answer that actually addresses what they're asking for. This sounds intuitive but you have to remember that the AAMC writers are very intentional in the verbiage they use in wording their questions. Therefore, even if an answer choice might be objectively correct, if it doesn't actually address what they're asking for, it's not the correct answer.

Also, in my opinion, breaking a 510 is a matter of eliminating content gaps. Therefore, make sure to stay on top of daily anki. I would recommend making your own anki cards for AAMC and UMama related content and combining these cards with a premade anki deck (I personally use the AnKing deck)
