The first run over Uworld I scored also in the fifties, which is pretty normal. the second I scored in the high eighties, FA alone would not help you in improving your second score. My humble advice and what I did, was to write down UW explanation inside the FA book. So that I keep all high yeild info all in one place. You may also add pages for the things not covered in FA. These Q and explanation are your most valuable tool for studying.
I only took NBME 15 and 7 or 13 Sorry, I don't remember well. My advice is take all NBME that you can preferably online with feedback and check forums for the wrong ones you get.

Good luck.
