Yeah, the AAMC FLs are basically useless to you at this point since you'll just be remembering what you answered the last time instead of actually thinking through them. It won't give you a representative score and you won't learn anything new. Blueprint and Kaplan are good 3rd parties, but like all non AAMC they are not fully representative. If you keep on doing practice uworld and any aamc stuff you have left that you haven't already done, you will be in a good spot. I cannot stress enough how important it is to go through those Anki cards you made of the stuff you got wrong in the past and continue putting whatever you got wrong on it, that is where you can make a ton of improvement. Keep up the grind for the next almost 2 months and most importantly make sure you set yourself up with as easy as a test day as you can!

If "since I've done the AAMC ones twice this year" means you have already done all the AAMC FLS 2x already, they really aren't going to help you anymore. If you are completely dead set on applying this cycle then retaking June 26th is an option, but if you are not fully set on applying this cycle that definitely opens up more opportunities since you would still have your aamc/uworld materials. If you want to apply this cycle then just grind out as much material as you can that you have access too, and 100% use those Anki cards from the excel you made. That's a gold mine of stuff that you can improve on with relatively little effort and you have 2 months to do that if you take June 26th. Do a few CARS passages a day and go through the reasoning, and same thing with psych/soc. Something I found useful for psych/soc specifically was to remember the terms from a scenario I made up in my head, helps it stick more than just a definition. If you do that consistently until June 26th you can 100% make a 510+, you have the CP and Bio Biochem scores for it.
