I'm sure other people will come along and give you their views, but it seems to me you are improving. Perhaps next time, with some more exam prep and study, you'll be able to achieve it. I can understand you must be considering whether it is worth continuing. Did you use an exam simulator in your exam prep, and were you consistently getting good results?

Hi Elizabeth,

I could have done more exam simulator. This time around I will be sure to get 80% or better and then go take the exam.

Hi Elizabeth,

I did use the Exam simulator in my exam prep. This time around I will try to get 80% on better on all exams before taking the test.

Do not be discouraged. You are improving here , i failed twice with worse results and thanks to God i passed the third exam with ( Above Target ) in all domains , so here what i did it may help.
* I studied from Rita book 9th Edition , in Rita book there is a questions around 20 to 37 questions after each chapter i use to solve them after reading each chapter or Knowledge area , also i took Learning Quiz from Prep Cast simulation ( around 20 questions ) after reading each chapter or knowledge area.
* After i finished reading and studying the full Rita book i started taking 200q Mock exam , the first i had 71% second 74% third 75.5% then i went for the Real exam but after each exam and learning quiz i review the wrong answers and check why its wrong and confirm understanding the correct one.
Honestly i found PrepCast simulation so close to the real exam i felt so comfortable while taking the real exam .
