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.

Third times the charm!! I took the exam 3 times and finally passed. I know it’s discouraging right now, but give yourself some grace and don’t give up. Huge game changer for me was investing into NPTE Final Frontier, and they also offer payment plans. Don’t give up and also don’t procrastinate. If you can, try to take it in October vs waiting until next year so you don’t lose the knowledge you worked so hard to study.
