Failed REG first time with a 62. Should I sit for again at the end of the month or do you think I need to spend more time studying?

Unless it was a single focus area that absolutely killed your score, you probably need more review time than two weeks.

If you think you can narrow it down to one focus area and hammer away for two weeks, then maybe.

But to blunt, 62 is nowhere near passing. I find it highly unlikely there's just one area you could improve on to pass.

If you're paying for these exams yourself, do yourself the favor of putting in more time before running back to the testing center.

I failed with a 57. I was shocked it was so low. I this I retook 5 to 6 weeks later and scored a 79. Don’t rush if you need more time. I usually say two weeks is good if you scored low 70s. Low 60s you may need more time.

I agree with RSM 1 I am also currently studying for REG and it has been a painstakingly slow process but I do understand the big picture now.
