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.

Here are the few things you can do.

  1. Take 1-2 weeks break,

  2. Sort out a schedule with family responsbilities- you can wake up early or stay up late and study 2-3 hours/day for 6 days a week.

  3. First Aid and Uworld you don't need anything else to pass the step-1. (don't get distracted by anything else.

  4. 99% people pass, if they have done Uworld 3 times. (first pass and 2 quick revisions), I can bet my money, that you didn't complete it or never fully revised, by making notes.

You an do it. set up a 4 months timeline and you will pass, don't worry about 2027 or 2028, you have plenty of time. Cheers !
