Hi can someone please break this down for me. The AAMC explanation is not doing it for me.

Tips to get past 128 plateau?
AAMC FL 1 509 (126, 125, 130, 128)
AAMC FL 2 512 (128, 128, 130, 126)
AAMC FL 3 513 (128, 127, 129, 129)
AAMC FL 4 516 (130, 130, 126, 130) - felt easier 🤷♂️
AAMC FL 5 514 (128, 128, 128, 130) - felt easier but clearly not so much !
Taking FL 6 on Friday and doing one science unscored section a day this week (is that worth it?)
Kinda stuck around 128 for C/P, B/B and CARS and I need atleast two sections to be at 130 in 10 days to get near my goal score! Or somehow get P/S to 132 lol. Don’t get me wrong I’m very grateful to be where I am. I just think for the full time studying that I did this summer, I should be able to reach closest to 518/520. I just don’t know how to make the jump effectively.
C/P - struggling with application for solutions and electrochemistry, fluids for physics, plan is to do lots of UWorld and SB 2
B/B - idk I was getting 130s on the first 2 AAMC FLs so idk what happened and what’s the issue, plan is to stay on top of anki and do SB 2 pls lmk if u have any other tips
CARS - idk again it’s fluctuating - gonna do diagnostic and vol 1 (alr did vol 2)
Good luck to everyone testing this week!!!

How to improve in physics?
Hi! I feel like I have equations down but have trouble knowing when to apply what, especially in fluids and magnetism. I’m almost done with the Qpack and I encountered lots of problems that I would have never known how to solve. Is UWorld recommended to solidify these concepts, or are there any YouTube videos highly recommended for problem solving? I’m 16 days out to my exam, please drop any tips! I’m at 128 for C/P, but only get 57-65% of the physics questions correct.

testing aug 21 - how to get past 130s?
How are yall prepping or how did you prep to get past 130 on all the sections? I would be very very happy with 130s across the board, but I feel like on test day, I can't guarantee that due to test anxiety and stress. So, I'm hoping to get 131-132 where I can to offset. I feel like P/S and B/B is where I can do the most impact, but I'm unsure how to jump! side note - I haven't finished AAMC (doing SB, qpack and independent daily) or UWorld (35% done) yet. But, if anyone has any tips apart from completing those, plsss drop thank uuu :)

513 -> 520+ in 22 days??
Hi! This is my score breakdown and progression. I test Aug 21.
edit - latest score: 516 (130, 130, 126, 130) AAMC FL 4 - dk what happened to b/b lolz
Wondering what I can do to boost my C/P score to hit that 520 (only bc my dream school median MCAT is 519). The table at the bottom shows my weakest spots in red. Right now the plan is (for all sections) finish SB and independent AAMC questions by Aug 18. Qpacks to be done Aug 9 so I can target on UWorld.
B/B I usually get 130, so wondering how to get that consistent or up if possible. CARS I’ve been working on strategies and implementing on AAMC SB and P/S, I recently just finished content review for that so I’m working on it with Anki, SB and will finish up UWorld P/S.
Thank you so much! Any advice would be helpful!
Here is my study plan rn:
Daily - Anki, Section Bank, qpack and Independent questions. I’ll alternate between subjects for each of these so that way I’m working on all the sections everyday. For example - one day, I’ll do C/P section bank (30), B/B q pack (30), and 10 P/S independent questions. The next day I might do P/S section bank, C/P qpack and B/B independent questions.
Friday - Test day + Anki, Saturday - Review + Anki (might start doing targeted content review here)
Trying to do more qpack acc and finish it asap so I can finish the UWorld I have left.
