Which FL to utilize already having taken AAMC & NS FLs

This is unfortunately my third time taking the MCAT in about two weeks 6/16. I’ve already taken three Kaplan FL 2-4 and want to take another 3-5 these last two weeks. I know it’s recommended to diversify which full lengths to take in order to see novel versions. I also know that it’s ideal to utilize the AAMC ones within the last two weeks to get an accurate feel about how you’ll perform. However, since I’ve taken the MCAT twice before, I’ve seen the AAMC FL 1 & 2 and the sample test before. In fact I’ve seen FL 1 & the sample test multiple times. I’ve also already used NS FL 1-4 in the past, however I’ve only seen these once each. I haven’t seen the NS or AAMC FLs in over a year, and I’m unsure if this will skew my scores. I do have AAMC FL 3 left, so that will obviously be a good indicator, it will just be difficult to use one data point to estimate where I stand. Do you all think I should still take the AAMC FLs again, keep up with Kaplan FLs, or NS these last two weeks? I’ve also worked through essentially all of the practice banks and questions AAMC offers as well. Here are my scores on previous MCATs and Kaplan practice tests thus far:

2/8/16 MCAT 1 = 504
3/31/17 MCAT 2 = 505

5/18 Kaplan FL 2 = 504 127/127/127/124
5/24 Kaplan FL 3 = 505 126/127/128/125
5/30 Kaplan FL 4 = 509 127/125/128/129

I'm curious about this too, because everywhere I go I read conflicting comments.

I just retook AAMC FL 2 and honestly didn't remember any of the questions/ passages besides one CARs passage and maybe a question or two in the science sections. Thought I haven't seen that particular test in over a year. Scored a 511 130/126/128/127 though!

You can def retake the FLs but expect a 5-8 point jump minimum. Some people like Altius, but I have no experience with these exams.
There is a link somewhere on sdn (do a search) for a free 90 day Uworld trial and the PS there is excellent. CP/BB questions are good also but difficult. Explanations for Uworld are very educational.
