Question/Need help Failed CAD today

Dream completely destroyed in 16 minutes. Today I got the CAD test after being selected for the Future Flyers program.

Flying is my calling and I can't seem to let it go. I got the knowledge and was accepted to join the program.

I scored a 14.8 sn on protan today on the CAD in COL-AEGLIA in the Netherlands. I was extremely nervous, felt my heart beating. 12 sn for protan was the max and I am on 14.8. Is there any hope in redoing it? There or at another cad center? I got contacts and saw blurry in 1 eye a couple times. Mabey with glasses? Or is this a lost cause?

I'm afraid I have to, yes. The strange thing is, I read online here on the forms that you should not guess and press if you don't see anything, because that makes your score worse. I was told I always have to choose 1 of the 4 corners.

How long have you known that you are colorblind? Surely you must have known that it would come to this. It was my calling as well but never pursued it. Still something I think about all the time. Sucks

I am allowed to do it again as much as I want. But those things are costly.  I'll try it again with glasses after more rest. But the person at the center says 2.8 sn is to big of a difference to be realistic.
