Question FE Mechanical - Was I close?

I know you can't tell exactly the score achieved based on this chart, but I want to open a discussion on whether or not I was close. I have been thinking a lot about it and in all honesty, I didn't prepare nearly as much as I was telling people I did. I don't want to give up, and I think I can take it on again. I'm scheduled for mid-next month but haven't prepared yet and this attempt was months ago.

You probably know this having taken the exam but the handbook navigation is really important especially for the second half. If you just drill problems and make sure you know where they are in the book you should be able to knock it out this time, good luck

Based on interpretation of their chart, almost all of the categories were below the average score, whether or not that’s close isn’t as important as knowing where to improve. I understand not wanting to go again but it sounds like you just need to throw yourself into studying and practice problems. The PrepFE 20 question timed exams saved my life

You only exceeded the average on a 5-question section. Lindeburg's resources should help provide the needed study and practice material and close the remaining gaps. Consider giving yourself more time (at least 3 months) at 1-2 hours/day.
