My two cents.

I failed Band 10 last year. I felt like a caged beast.

I remember retakers saying that studying for level II the second time is much easier... but all i could think about was reviewing all that material over again....

It's tough at first to mentally get back into it, but they were right, going over the material for the second time is a lot easier, once you start to get into it, and slowly build momentum. A retaker who seriously prepared the first time is now a battle hardend veteran... you are hundreds of hours ahead of those fresh from level I. You are much more likely to survive the next Level II battle, given the experience you have. And remember, CFA is a war. One cannot be strong in all areas, nor expect to win every battle. It is not the beginning that matters but the end.

Enjoy the rest of the summer, then back to training.
