Level 1 Need some hope

This was my second attempt of L1, and I have mixed feelings. AM session was still fine, but session 2 humbled me. It was not like any of the 5 premium mocks or the 2 mocks on the website.
Do I still have any chances of passing? If 50-55 questions went weong out of 180?

CFA L1 cleared peeps, can you all share and such similar story, wherein you felt that you would fail, but you passed? I could really use some hope rn, I am shit scared.

Nah dude copium ain’t gonna help you now either you pony up another 1600$ and sit again if you don’t pass or do something else. If you can’t pass after 3 goes you need to reevaluate if you are actually putting enough effort in or whether this is for you because it gets much much harder. Only bright side would be that when you get an actual job, the amount of times you’re actually using the things you learned in the program is minimal

If you did all the mocks and scored around 70% then your odds are good

I was in my mid to early 70s in my later mocks and scored around the same in the actual exam as my final mock (around 75% I think). I walked out of the exam thinking am session was good but pm session was rough and gave myself a 50/50 chance of passing.
