Personal statement

I failed my step 1 exam twice. Should I mention that in my personal statement or dean's letter?

There are two approaches to this:
1. Explain the circumstances surrounding the issue in personal statement.
2. Dont say anything in personal statement. The hospitals who wants to interview already knows it. If they ask you at the interview, explain the cirumstances then.
