Re: Failed first attempt

If everyone passed on their first attempt, no one would pay $1500 for this
test. It is a tough test and i honestly believe that passing on the first
go is kinda lucky, because you can easily interpret some of the questions
differently.

The good thing is that you have decided to be certified and like Roy said,
congratulations because it's just matter of time. God forbid you may fail
again and again, but if you want this certification bad enough, you will
NOT give up. If everyone gave up because they failed on their first or
second attempt, the number would have been a 4 digit number, under.

Keep going man, what is wrong with you?

But i agree with you when you fail the TS section, you say to yourself what
the heck am i fighting to score better in the config section, you kinda let
go, but this time, if God forbid you fail the TS section again, don't give
up on the config section, learn from it and see what you can score.

Good luck mate.
