@VAfutureCPA I did the same thing and it was my first exam, also FAR. I let myself cry for about 15 seconds, took a day or two to relax and rejuvenate, and then jumped right back in. I think it'll be easier to raise your score than you think. I reread (skimmed) each chapter and took new notes (not TOO much effort though, about a chapter a day) and then just kept doing MC questions to pinpoint my weaker areas. Retook it 3 weeks later feeling MUCH better and my score jumped 11 points. So it wasn't nearly as painful as I told myself it would be to retake it…other than dropping another $250. Like everyone says, a few points within a 75 usually comes down to luck. You can definitely get it next time!
