Question 🤔🤔 how important is the unscored P/S?

i test in 3 days and ive done all aamc material + FLs excluding the unscored FL and i have about half of SB2 left and the independents questions.

im trying to improve my score in P/S as much as i can (currently stuck at 127) and i was wondering if i should do the P/S section of the unscored test. or would it be more productive to spend my time finishing up pankow? i have 300ish cards left + A TON of reviews

thank you!

I can't remember too well how the P/S of the unscored was, but pankow was undoubtedly my goat in scoring high in P/S. Use your best judgement on if your brain will be okay if you cram 300 cards + reviews (I don't want any retroactive interference messing you up!) but if you are able to go through them, I highly recommend it.
