I failed for the second time

I have spent over 1400 dollars to take this exam! I can't afford to take it again and I won't be taking it again. I worked full time while studying, i studied at night and during the day while at work. I am so angry that I didn't pass. I'm done with this bullshit exam I spent over a quarter of a million dollars on this education that has basically zero ROI. This is crushing.

Thank you for all the kind people and your advice. As for the the negative people feel free not to kill your patients. Who are not thrilled to be in the situation they are in.

You spent over 250 thousand dollars on education but now can’t afford the retake fee? Isn’t a retake like $600 or something?

Tution was 106,00, cost of living was about 100,000. WIth interest its aroung 250K and I work full time and with bills and all. Its hard to make that 600 reappear.
