How to prepare for NBDE 1 re-take in 2010?

[Saxplayur]

Hello all,
I took my part 1's in August 2009 and barely passed, despite knowing more than 95% of the 2006-2007 decks cold. I've also read at least once the following: BRS Path, BRS Anatomy H&N chapter, Kaplan DentEssentials, Clinical Micro Ridic Simple, First Aid, and released exams. I feel like I'm starting from scratch after having done everything right. I want to get a good score on this test for eligibility for specialty. I registered just in time to get a numeric score on re-take, which I think will be in 2-3 months from now. Please advise, especially if you have had the same experience, changed something, and subsequently succeeded. Thanks!
