Fooled by the NASM exam

I don't like to admit that I failed the NASM exam, even after get 100% on the practice exams. No matter how confident you might feel, there is always a chance that your going to fail.
I walked into that air tight room, looked at the first test question, and knew I was going to be beaten down.
Here is a cool tip though:
They give you three practice tests, right? Well it's only three if you click the finish button at the end of the test. Write down the questions you got wrong, then search for the answers in your book. That way, all you have to do is close the window, and if you just close the window before finishing, then its as if you never had taken a practice test at all!
So you get unlimited practice tests.
The downer is that I only noticed about eight questions that were from the practice test. Also memorize the muscle imbalances (overactive/underactive) and the whole nutrition section, ugh!
You'd think that after getting 100% on a practice test you'd pass the real one. I got 69 on the real one.
Very frustrating!
