Since I was called out directly in this...
If I remember the circumstances right, I was unsympathetic then and I am unsympathetic now. I did not consider my response "cyberbullying" then or now for this reason.
There is a reason why the Boards exist, to ensure a minimum competency of practice knowledge. There's test anxiety, but the bar is set low enough that there is room for even that to occur. There are schools that broadly do not prepare their students for the Boards, Texas Southern had a streak for this for a number of years (late 90s) and so did Duquesne (my era in school). But overall, most pharmacy schools are reasonably competent in preparing their students.
If you cannot pass the competency limit, it is up to you to remake yourself to that standard. The Boards of Practice do not care how well anyone thinks of you or your performance if you cannot meet the basic requirements to practice in a state.
If you are dismotivated to reattempt the Boards, you have the background to know where to seek help and what you need. But in the state you are in, you cannot practice safely by the State's standards. I do wish you the best in finding your way, but I am not sympathetic to the idea that it is anything but the candidate's own means to enter the practicing profession at the standards set for all.
One thing I always recommend. Do not just didactic study for the Boards, it is important to practice as well. Get a job, whether as an intern, tech, or volunteer, just so that you would get the real world interaction with the subject matter that you are tested on. Very little of the current NAPLEX is random facts based unlike the era I took it in, it's almost all tied to case reading and experience. It is smart for a pharmacy to hire a pharmacy graduate as a tech under some circumstances, but I also am on record saying that these hires can only be temporary, because there are ways that a frustrated graduate goes wrong if they cannot ever license.
You can look at industry jobs, but as I remark elsewhere, industry figures out you can't license, and pays and promotes you accordingly badly because they know you don't have other options as you are not versatile and cannot do certain things.
This is not a tough love message, it is the same sort of pragmatic message that the Residency Program Director of your Managed Care Residency probably had to have with you before and including dismissal over this matter. What is there left to understand? It is up to you to find the strength and courage to prevail. And if you cannot, then in the interests of patient expectations of competency and safety of us, you will need to find another career path.
