seeking help and advice!
took FL 1 yesterday and got a 500. my past HL/FL scores have been:
BP HL diagnostic: 496
BP FL1: 497
AAMC USFL: ~504 according to website
To be honest, I’m feeling very frustrated. I’ve been studying since around November and keep pushing back my date because I really want to do well, and despite feeling like I’m doing what I’m supposed to do it’s not translating into a score that I’m even remotely proud of. Honestly willing to do whatever it takes, so any and all advice is appreciated.
Here is how Ive studied so far:
Content review — Nov to Jan of 1-2 Kaplan chapters a day, unsuspending and completing associated anking cards (all books except for ps and cars)
UW — Jan to early April ripping question banks and reviewing, as well as anki (not as much tho admittedly). Switched to aamc with around 50% complete with 61% correct. Took HL, BPFL1 and unscored towards the end of this.
Was originally planning for a May 8ish exam, so early April I switched to aamc material. Currently going through Qpacks before switching to SBs and then weekly FL and subsequent review. Lowkey now realizing that might not be enough time for aamc
After getting the 500 on FL 1, I realized I did not want to “waste” any more FLs without completely restructuring my studying and retention to ensure a higher score. I do know most people get a dip on FL2 but I’m talking long term upward trend
guess my TLDR/Questjon is where do I go from here? I have also been unemployed this whole journey and ended up getting a job with a June start date. I prefer to get this situated before working full time, but again, willing to do whatever it takes to get a score I’m proud of.
I’ve learned a lot from this community, so hopefully you all can help me out! Thanks 🙏
