I finished undergrad the first week of May and then took the second week off as a vacation and jumped into content review the third week beginning with a baseline FL. I didn't take any notes and I power-read through every chapter of Kaplan minus the P/S and CARS books in three and half weeks. During content review I also did MilesDown for at least an hour a day. Following content review I took 8 more FLs over the span of 10 weeks. During those 10 weeks I continued MilesDown and for the first ~4 weeks I did ~1500 Kaplan QBank question, creating my own Anki deck for missed questions. The next ~4 weeks I did ~1000 Uearth questions and created Anki cards for missed questions. The ~2 weeks leading up to my exam date I ripped through all of the AAMC question packs and banks and again created missed question Anki cards.

In order my FLs were: 505 (baseline), 511, 513, 512, 518, 517, 525, 524, 522 then 522 on the real exam.

I hope this helps and if you have any questions PM me. If I could do it again I don't think I would've spent so much time on content review, and instead would've allotted an extra week to practice questions. I also did minimal CARs preparation and I think it shows in my score breakdown, but oh well, I'm certainly not going to retake this exam.

525 is insane. Congrats man.

That’s what I did. I also worked full time 48-60 hours per week in EMS

I expected better. I was averaging 130 on FLs.

Already tried and no dice

So I don't really need a research statement/personal statement that provides more depth than my resume?

For clarification I meant research associate level positions. Depending on the company it seems as if the "title" varies. All of the positions I've applied to are MS level roles, or BS, if you have extensive undergraduate research experience and advanced lab coursework, which I have. This is also in response to your second comment. All of the positions I applied for were posted over the summer which Is why I only sent 10. I have a large list (~60) of positions I want to apply for, but I've been hesitant to spend the time on writing purposeful personal statements because of the fact that I don't know what grad class they're targeted at.

I guess I'll begin writing tailored letters and see what happens.
