Sorry to hear that. You would receive an assessment of the test areas you didn't perform well on and hopefully, you would be able to focus on those areas when you start reviewing again. There are also other factors that affect individual performance in standardized tests. Not that I'm analyzing your reasons for not achieving a passing score in particular but a high level of stress, "not feeling well", feeling rushed or in a hurry, and ignoring key words in test questions have all been identified as potential reasons and it doesn't always mean that the examinee is not cut out to be in the profession they are trying to be licensed on. What I would advise is for you to regroup, start all over again, and apply to retake the exam. Good luck and let us know how you do next time.
