I made a spreadsheet of 520+ scorers from 2018 and these are things I've noticed:

Regrets:

- Too much time doing content review

- Not enough time doing practice material

- Not enough CARS

Turns out my 'unpopular opinion' is popular among the upper echelon scorers.

Average scores:

- 522.41 (130.6 / 129.98 / 130.86 / 130.95)

- FL3: 520.47

- FL2: 518.65

- FL1: 517.28

Opinions on third-party materials:

- TPR FL's waste of time

- NS FL's considered closest to real thing (after AAMC)
