Professional exam disaster

Just done the very last exam for a qualification I started ages ago. Been a total slog to get to this point and it did not go well. Examiners didn’t seem convinced (it’s like an oral discussion thing, assessed remotely so on zoom) and I didn’t give a good account of myself. Just so gutted as so many people have been really supportive in getting me to this stage and feel like I’ve totally let them down. ARGH I don’t know what to do with myself now.

When do you get the results?
is it pass / fail?
what are the resit options?

Wait for the result and take it from there? Might not have been as bad as you think, they just might have been giving you a grilling. If you don't get the result you want, can you re-take?

Thank you for replying, I feel so fed up with myself! You can retake individual bits if you fail them, or the whole lot if you fail more than a certain number of sections. The most frustrating thing is I don’t even need this qualification any more as I changed jobs a couple of years ago, and my new sector is different enough that there’s no direct benefit to the qualification. But - if I do go back to original sector ever, it would be good to have it, which is why I carried on and was so happy when old boss agreed to support me in finishing even when I left that company. So people have been extremely accommodating of my faffing around taking ages to finish it!

feels better just writing that down - will just have to wait and see what the outcome is and try and forget about it until then 😬

When will you find out your results?
Maybe it wasn’t as bad as you think?

I really, really hope I at least scraped through some of it - results a couple of weeks away I think. Feeling so embarrassed mainly because new work were quite keen for me to get it as it’s a nice complementary thing to the work they do, so it makes them look good if I’m qualified! Hate the thought of telling them I didn’t quite make it. Oh well - nothing to do now but wait and pray it wasn’t as bad as I fear…
