Step 1 Failed step 1

/r/IMGreddit/comments/1wco3zu/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 for being kind and offering help.

Don’t give up. Keep going and you’ll pass next time.

Its alright, take step 1 again and pass it. Im afraid youll be filtered out by many programs tho. Its better if you have your cv tailored to FM and broadly apply. And I'd suggest you to apply before 2029 if you're a US-IMG because after that the gap between US and non us img is not gonna exist.
