I Failed Mckinsey PST, What To Do Now?

Hello guys! Recently i failed Mckinsey PST test and got very upset. I lost such a great chance to get into Mckinsey. I am 26 year old right now, and now i have ban with a length of 2 years. Is that worth for me to wait another 2 years and apply for same position i applied recently? To be honest, i thought i aced the test when i got out of their office. I read on forums that you just need to score 50-60% in order to pass.

What should i do now?? 2 years seems to be very long, but on the other hand i don't want to work for any other company.
