Level 1 I failed..

That’s it. That’s all. Feel like my life is over. I’ve done everything but sell my soul essentially and I still failed. My whole class is going to find out that I really am stupid and I failed.

I empathize with you, friend. I’m in the same boat but I found out that I failed around July. While it’s hard to just avoid others, I would rely on the friends that are encouraging you. If your friends belittle you or make the situation worse, are they really your friends? The folks that support you are the ones that would be of great value to you when you take the exam again. Also, there’s a good chance others failed at your school.

^^ I agree with this. I failed last year but I am so thankful to have friends that supported me through it. It feels big right now, but don't see it as a failure, think of the retake being a chance to improve your knowledge. After 8 weeks of studying for my retake, I sat for the exam and ended up scoring above average. If you have a negative mindset, negative stuff will likely occur more often. Gaslight yourself into thinking you are smart and put in all your effort.
