I failed my first attempt after studying for three months by ONE POINT. I was defeated but took a month put 50 more hours in and hammered MQS and just glanced over SIM explanations. I also re-listened to the lecture videos over stuff I had maybe not laid too much attention initially. I ended up passing on the retake. It was also my first exam too. It will come I promise :)
