hi i am more than happy to tell you my expriance if it helps
i failed step 1 and had to take it again and i passed,even though my aim was to score above 90 a scored 85 and i am happy.Now preparing for CK.I am a mother have 2 kids "full time Job" .
What i want to tell you is dont give up,Be determined,if you are not ready to do this 2 things that is when your failure is.
so the first thing you should do is figure out where your weakness, Is it the study material you used?The way you used them?the high yeald topics.
in my case i figured out my weakness was biochem and molecular biology so i started to read this things from the basics,i was not in a rash to take the test again
i did many questions,make use of the forum to read experiances about frequently tested topics
How do you know that you are ready to retake the exam? the answer is when you are able to answer as many questions as possible.As you read from the forum NBME a good evaluation tool to see where you stand.and UW is a very good Q bank source to consolidate what you know.try to take short notes while you do uw spically in the questions you miss frequently.Use 1 aid to focus on high yeald topices after all this you are ready to attack step 1.
Dont think you are wasting your time by preparing 2 times for step 1 after all you are going to use this for CK and CS too when i say this  I am not Rationalizing
this personal opeanion you may take it or drop it

Whatever you do, don't give up. Spend more time doing questions as opposed to studying the materials. The questions are more important, and make sure you read the explanations very carefully. Review marked questions and incorrect questions several times. Make sure you identify your weak points and give them more time. Keep up the faith and continue to work hard. May God reward your effort.
