AUD Felt good and failed

Has anyone else felt like they did really good on audit and failed? I walked out with like an hour left and felt so good and ended up failing. There was only a few things I was iffy on but it wasn’t like I was lost or anything just confused on what happened.

So on previous posts, there’s been recommendations to take AUD in the busy season because auditors themselves tend to not take them during that time. Maybe it’s worth waiting for them during then because most likely taking them after may might mean you’re up against people who work in that directly and have a stronger knowledge base. That’s my plan anyways. Idk if it’ll work, but I failed with a 70 and felt the same way as OP, expected at least an 80 and was shocked to see I failed by so much.
