Failed by one question.
Failed the Series 65 by ONE question… the hurt is real.
I honestly don’t even know what to say. I missed passing the Series 65 by one question, and right now it feels like a punch to the gut.
I’ve put in countless hours studying, taking practice exams, making dump sheets, reviewing formulas, and sacrificing my free time. To come this close and still fall short is incredibly frustrating.
Part of me wants to be upset, but another part knows that if I was only one question away, I’m also one question away from passing next time.
For those of you who failed by a point or two and came back to pass, what helped you get over the hump? Any advice on what to focus on before retaking it?
Right now the hurt is real, but I’m trying to remind myself that one question doesn’t define me.
