MCAT in ~38 days...do I push?

Hi ok so I've never made a reddit post but... the one month mark is approaching and I'm really worried. I am basically just now finishing content review (even though I still feel like I have content gaps) with like 500 cards left to learn on anki (pankow deck) for p/s. I think I can do well in the bio section (not confident in biochem) and CARS as well as P/S but I suck at chem/phys. I've only done like 12% of UW but I feel like I still have content gaps. That fear of content gaps is what has primarily stopped me from starting UW but I obviously need to start. My exam date is in \~ 37 days. I am going to take a FL this weekend and see where I am at. I work 3 days/wk but can study for like 4 hours after work. The rest of the week is free game. I am planning on doing AAMC materials and just UW whenever I can and Anki on any time I can. I am aiming for >510... thoughts? Should I push date?
