wait, those are the percent correct you got on these exams? is that the first time you took them? I simply can't believe that if you have a 90% correct average after doing the 2000+ questions in USMLE World using unused all subject timed tests and you can't pass the step1... You're doing something very wrong. I have read a lot of posts and people say that if you're doing the questions for the first time and using unused all subject timed mode and getting above 50% you'll pass the test. Did you do these questions a couple of times before getting the 90%?
If you failed step1 three times already I don't even know if you're allowed to take it the 4th time. There might be a family practice residency somewhere in the midwest that might take you, but it's a long shot. Sorry for the bad news.
