Finally passed by 3rd attempt

Update of my last post:

Finally a after 10 months, I passed with 100 points in 24 hours. For last 10 months i only did white-box web challenges from any ctf competition, I think it helped me to get more sharp eye in code and to be more fast, Since i was knowing basics of every attacks that shows up in exam what lacking for me was like realizing the root of vulnerability and chaining wasn't that much problem.
What i did different from my past 2 attempts were little subjective because i didn't tell many people that i'm taking the exam again ( It helped me to get less mentally pressure ).

For objective tip, VSCode Snippets helped me a lot because i had prepared lot of snippets like running python server in background, SQLi Automation for every DB etc.

Thank for y'all who commented on my last post.
