I attempted the SEC555 and FOR500, both out of my own pocket each costing me years of saving up for them, using indexes from two people smarter than myself, as well as my own and also the books, and barely scored 70% on both tests.

I have ADHD and had focus issues attending a course for both subjects, and i made sure I studied for both hard as fuck, and still failed them at below 80% cutoff requirements for the certs.

There's just an untenable amount of knowledge those fucking tests required and I cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.
