Hi everyone

I took the July 25 exam and got a 1301. I recently took the February 26 exam and got a 1372. I was 18 points away from passing. I’m proud of my progress and I wish that was enough.. but unfortunately it isn’t.

I’ve already decided I won’t be taking the July 26 exam. Honestly, mentally, emotionally, and financially, I’m not in the place to do so at the moment. I want to take some time to focus on my mental health then give it another shot. The earliest I plan to retake it is February 27.

My question is has any of you failed the exam, took a break, retook it, then passed?
If so, can you share why you decided to take a break, and whether or not you feel like the break helped or hurt you on your next attempt?

Thank you!
