AAMC fl 2 cars

[tvbbnumber41]

So I really messed up on the CARS on FL 2. I thought I was doing fine, but I guess not.
My scores were 129/124/128/128. It seems I have an illusion of understanding the passage, when I actually don't. It also seems that the type of questions I've been practicing haven't been a good representation of the exam as I was scoring 126-128 (Next Step, TPR). I have 8 days until the big day. Any advice?

Have you done CARS pack 1 and 2 from the AAMC? What i found most useful is discussing the passage with a friend of mine, talk about the passage, and then we would look at the questions with a fresh eye (we usually did the same passages the day prior or the morning of before doing the review). Every correct answer is in the passage, you should never choose an answer that was never stated in the passage. Make sure that you're able to draw conclusions from the passage, and don't become overwhelmed by detail/ examples that are used in each passage. I scored a 122 in FL1 in CARS, and a 126 in FL2. Timing is key on test day.
