While you may not consciously remember the answers, you probably did receive a bit of bump from your subconscious.

That being said, I think you can use the retakes to help increase your score. Find those areas that you missed on both the initial and the retake. Clearly, there's a gap in your knowledge of the subject or on when/how to apply the knowledge. Study those areas and you'll be in much better shape on the actual test.

The only full length scores you should care about are your AAMC scores. It's likely that the improvements you saw were in part due to having taken the tests previously, and in part due to a real improvement. Use the next 3 AAMC FL scores to gauge your real score, but take them in the last few weeks of your studying.
