Failed Series 86 - Advice on Next Try?

Failed my 86, wondering how to approach studying for me next try. Any advice would be much appreciated. I felt my exam was 85% conceptual type questions and not at all the math heavy stuff STC has. I had all the math/formulas down but clearly the exam caught me off guard. 
 

Thanks.
