I got a 504 (126/124/124/130) on the 6/26 7:30AM exam and I'm devastated. What's crazy to me is that I felt so much better compared to my first exam coming out. I thought I had done so well on C/P and CARS. I stupidly brought a watch out on break, so they had to pause my exam for 10 minutes before I started the B/B and P/S sections. I was so nervous during those 10 minutes so I wasn't confident for my B/B and P/S scores, but I ended up doing really well on P/S. I'm not sure if it was due to my nervousness, but B/B felt so difficult and I had to guess on a decent amount.
This score was going to decide whether I apply this cycle, so this just made me push my application to next year. My first MCAT was on 4/10/2021 7:30AM and I got 505, so I studied from the score release date on 5/11 until my exam on 6/26 so it was about 1.5 months of full time studying.
These were the full lengths that I took over the 1 month before the 6/26 exam:
Before my 6/26 exam, I was about halfway done with UWorld. I didn't really keep up with Anki, but I went through some of the MrPankow and Miledown decks. I'm also planning to use Altius exams, as I have never tried them. I've only taken AAMC FL4 once on 4/06/2021, so I can also do that when I'm much closer to the exam date.

These were the full lengths that I took over the 1 month before the 6/26 exam:
- AAMC FL 1 - Second Attempt: 512 (127/128/128/129) / First attempt: 499
- AAMC FL 2 - Second Attempt: 515 (129/126/130/130) / First attempt: 503
- Kaplan Free FL - First Attempt: 496 (123/124/124/125)
- This score made me think that Kaplan Exams were trash because of the huge discrepancy between my AAMC FLs and Kaplan. I should have paid more attention to it as a warning sign for my gaps in content.
- AAMC FL 3 - Second Attempt: 514 (130/127/127/130) / First attempt: 504
