If I anticipate having to push out my test, but have taken most of the NBMEs, how do I go about retaking them? Not 100% sure if I am pushing or not yet, but am just trying to prepare.

I am testing 5/22 as of right now, with some flexibility to push up to 2 more weeks but I really, really do not want to if I don't have to. My goal score would be a 255+, with my true desire really being a 260+ and realistically will be okay with a 250+ but I want more doors open for myself. I started a "dedicated" study during my last rotation (psych) which started around the beginning of April. Scores so far on forms (in order) have been as follows:

CCSE 1 (Jan 21): 234

Form 12 (Feb 15): 225

CCSE 2 (Mar 4): 246

Form 10 (April 4): 220

Form 11 (April 10): 249

Form 13 (April 18): 238

Form 14 (May 4): 242

I have been using Amboss during dedicated, as I tend to remember a lot of Uworld questions, but am wondering if this is a mistake. My "first pass" was at 63% but I strictly used it as a learning tool throughout clerkships and never really minded the score. I spend a good day reviewing the practice tests and making a plan to address my gaps, but nothing seems to be working. I don't know where to turn or what to do to push through this sort of plateau and get to my goal. I am trying to be an anki person but am terrible at it and am just wondering if there is anything else that made a big, big difference for you when you did it. I feel that I have tried watching things like OME, Dr. HY, Emma Holiday, and DI and nothing is sticking.

If it helps, my shelf scores were Surg 85, IM 79, FM 84, OB 88, Peds 77, Psych 85 and I took them in that order.

Update: 2018 Free 120, did 2 blocks on top of the 5/4 Form 14 and finished the last today, scored 83%
