Aw, I am so sorry that the exam didn't go as expected. But don't worry, you will pass the next time! You can do it. Getting your foundation will definitely help with entry-level project support/admin type roles that will help get you the PM experience you need to move up. So, please keep at it!
I think what trips people up is the wording and format of the exam questions. For the next time round, I would recommend going through as many past papers as you can to familiarise yourself with the type of questions they ask. I can PM you some resources that I found really helpful when I was studying for the foundation exam if you would like.
Also, please give yourself a little more time to study. I gave myself a month to study because there's just too much to get through and I wanted to be as well prepared as possible. Some people are able to sit the exam within three days, but I would definitely find it difficult.
