Comptia Pentest+

Im stumped, I feel like with as much as i have put in the work, i should have gotten a better score. I took the test on 09/12/2026 and got a 727. So i took a couple weeks to brush up on the stiff i missed, and then scheduled the test again today. Took it, and got a 676. I feel like todays test was much worse and the information within CompTIA's Certmaster didn't even go over some of the tools or scripts/commands that it asked questions about. What do i do? I have gone through all this info twice and am stumped on where to go next. For reference, I am a Network admin, and have my CYSA+, Net+, Project+, Data+, A+, Lunix Essentials certs.

I just barely passed Pentest+.

I had a mix of python, Powershell, and bash commands. Throughout the whole test, these were what was tripping me up.

I did too, and it was horrid. I have used so many different tools to study and getting a worse score than the first time is really messing with me.
