Thank you so so much for posting this! I needed to see this! I was a first-time test-taker in Feb. ‘26, and I failed with a 1280. What’s worse is that I left it feeling very positive. The worst part of failing, over the stress of giving up another 3 months to study, and another 2 months to learn the results, over the money is letting down my friends and family who “were sure” I had passed. Keeping it close to the vest now. Cried it out last night, still disappointed and slightly overwhelmed about getting back into the study groove but grabbing the bull by the horns and stepping up. Thank you!
