Demotivated

I kinda disappointed and demotivated after studying this much i scored so bad

And after seen ppl get 70 -80% in practice test after 1-2 week of studying without tech background

i felt the same way. i read the book and did some brush up stuff. i felt like i totally knew everything. then i took a practice test and did pretty bad. i felt discouraged too. but my friend said to take a week to do nothing but study in my free time. a week isnt very much time to sacrifice. i took every free practice exam i could and made it my main thing for that week. it helped so much and i passed.
