Sean,
I felt the same way finding "not certified" the morning after my third
attempt. Some days later I even realized where I had screwed things up.
Hoping for the best I launched re-read and scheduled my fourth try
closest date possible, in 31 day. Remembering lab layout very well and
all points for topics I found I got just 6 points below the pass mark. I
knew exactly where I missed those 6 points. I had typed FCE in IPv6
addresses instead of FEC and copy-pasted this typo. :-/
Re-read did not make any change and on my fourth try I got no cigar
either.. Same close... I had to take a break, it was too stressful.
6 months later I tool 5 weeks off work and nailed it down. You will make
it, sooner or later. Just don't give up.
