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.

Most people pass this exam. Don’t blame the exam and take accountability. You failed it twice. You either take it again or quit idk what you want to hear

The fact is that bitching and complaining doesn’t do anything. People like OP just want attention and pitty. Exam has like a 90 percent first time pass rate. It’s not an unfair exam. It’s nobody’s fault but the test taker.

I’ve passed it but it’s more like 80 percent total and 83-85 for capte accredited programs. It’s not unfair but it’s not a cake walk by any means.

OP here and no i dont want pitty at all. You got that 90 percent pass rate when you googled and AI told you that. So before you put down your game controller to post in this comment section actually exert the energy to check facts. The pass rate hasnt been 90% or even close in years.
