you’ll know where you f’d up when you get the answer guide and hopefully that added experience with what you’ve learned to date will take you over the top next time around

Your score is not so bad. I had a band score of 6 last year with getting at least 70% on the PM. I just changed my approach this year: I took NYSSA class and two essay writing seminars, which were very helpful. I also did 7 full tests (Schweser and CFA), all ethics questions in the CFA books, and most of the sample questions from CFA website.

I’m not sure about your question. Are you asking if what you wrote wasn’t good enough? Or that you aren’t able to synthesize your thoughts succinctly?
I would say it’s quite clear how you need to study based on your matrix.
