First, this is very common and not the end of the road. Rules vary by Ärztekammer but a few general points:
• Most chambers let you re-register fairly soon (often a few weeks), but the real bottleneck is the next free exam slot, so apply for a new date immediately.
• Attempt limits also vary by Bundesland; some allow several attempts, a few are stricter. Ask your chamber in writing exactly how many attempts you have and the gap between them.
• Since you lost points on the Arztbrief: train it specifically. Use one fixed structure, write under a timer, and have a native speaker or tutor correct 5–10 of them.
Treat the feedback you got as a checklist. Most people pass the second time once they fix the one weak module.
