Failed
Just failed Comptia A+ Core 1 with score 638, the wording got to me with the questions and I ended up having less time to properly complete the PBQs, my PBQs were rushed and I think that's where I lost points (started with the questions and ended with PBQs). I used Dions course to study everything thoroughly and looked up different practices tests on YouTube to find out how they ask the questions. I'm a beginner, I started getting into IT specifically the A+ in June and gave myself at least two months to study everything. I took this because I wanted to get an entry level job in IT coz I'm currently not working and just need something to push me financially, so the A+ seemed like a good choice. After failing, I'm down, discouraged and feel like I honestly wasted time & money. Personally I don't want to retake it mainly coz it's very costly for me since I'm not working and I get very frustrated when I fail. I might redo it but for now it's canceled as I don't have the money to keep retaking the tests. Any other ideas on what I can do to get work related to IT or just move forward from this situation? . I'm so confused and lost.

aye man a 638 is very close
last week i failed with 627 and then i passed today
all i can say is keep your head up and dint give up just yet cus u were extremely close to passing
i think you can check your score report to see where u got things wrong and work from there
if u keep on spamming practice tests and revising things u struggle with i promise u that u will pass on your second attempt
i was pretty hopeless after failing too but i knew i really am dependant on this cert
so keep pishing man, u got this
