The previous entry is right, you have the foundation to get a better score, a passing score, even an exceptional score. Think about it, you were a few questions from success, raise the bar for yourself a little higher, and you will be there. Stop, compose yourself, and think of another joyful success you have had. Put yourself in the moment when you acheived it. Was it worth the effort, were you glad you stuck with it. I sat many repeat exams in (IMG) medical school (over 15) before I graduated, was I happy when I finally passed my final exam - hell yes, I was in tears, because then I knew, I had earned my opportunity to step into the hospital and kick ass, like I knew that I could, I I did in that country. You are no different. I now face the USMLEs and have struggled to step up to the plate for the Step 1, but you... you haven't shyed away...you will pass this exam. No doubt about it, as will I. Keep your head up!
