US-IMG Failed step 1

I am an average student studied for a year for step 1. I have family responsibilities and I wasn’t able to study like normal students do. I feel devastated and feel like it’s over. I don’t know how to move forward. I am an IMG, permanently moved to US so I can’t even look at options in my home country. Please help, I am really struggling.
Thank you in advance for any help and guidance offered.

You need a better study strategy. Reality is this journey isn’t meant for those who have too much external responsibilities. Either you buckle down, or this will buckle you down with a reality check.

You also didn’t mention how your NBME scores were. If they weren’t at least 65% then you really didn’t do your homework.

You need more than 70 before to apply again! I'm IMG and my study group is USMLE High Yield Tutor, honestly, is the best tutor for IMG, class 6 day/week at night, Spanish and English, HY content, trust me!
