HELP!!!!!


I wrote the test in July 2009 and did so suprsingly poor - I got an 83.

I don't know what to do.

I had dreams of specializing but they are quickly fading with this score.

I would have retaken the test next summer but you are no longer allowed to retest after Jan 2010 if you passed the test.
Now I dont know what to do!!!!!
I start 3rd year dental school in 2 days, which is supposidly our hardest year. I don't know if I should waste time and effort studying to retake the test before Janurary and I am worried it will ruin my school mark and GPA.

Is an 83 really that horrible???
I don't know what to do!
I cant stop thinking about. this score is haunting me!!

HELP!!!
