Dropping MCAT FL score?

[Danny L]

These have been my scores:

NS Diagnostic: 508
NS FL1: 511
AAMC Sample FL: 86%/92%/81%/86%
NS FL2: 511- 128/127/128/128
NS FL3: 507- 126/125/129/128
AAMC FL1: 515- 130/129/129/127
NS FL4: 504- 127/123/128/126

Aiming for a 515+. I've heard the NS3/4 aren't as great as 1/2 which could be the reason for the drop? Could there be another reason?

Thanks

Only the AAMC FLs are strongly predictive of your score. Take FL 2 and you'll get your answer. (Also, go study some P/S vocab.)

Alright thanks. Is it still true that the section bank represents the hardest sections on the MCAT, or did they change it recently so most of the exam is like the section bank? I haven't had a chance to try those out but will probably do so after finals are over

And yeah I need to work on P/S terms. Did you just make sure to understand/memorize terms from a book (like TPR) or did you do something else in addition?

I wrote the exam a few days ago. Only a few questions resembled the section bank in terms of difficulty; a bunch resembled it in terms of format, but they were easier.
To be honest, I used Google and Wikipedia for P/S, but I've heard Khan Academy is the best source.
