Start again as if you haven't tested and keep practising questions and read the rationale

Sorry to hear that. Next time you will pass. The passing standards are only a guide and are not very specific. More of a predictor is the number of questions you are given. For those who don't pass, the number of questions given is a more accurate gauge of how far you are from passing. If you fail with 75 questions you are far but for each additional question the computer let you have the better, but you can still go all the way to 265 and fail but at least you know you are...very close.

So sorry! I had the same thing happen to me except all mine were "needed very little improvement". I was like, o.k what the heck am I supposed to study then! Hang in there and keep practicing!

Don't get hung up on this. Instead start over and study as if you had never tested. Good luck.
