Hi Aline,
Sorry to hear that, I also failed once miserably but came back and passed well and you will too. For me, what worked was to really stay calm and when the time started, I only answered the ones that were obvious or easy to me. I maybe skipped half the first go. By then, my stress levels were much lower and i was able to focus better. You need to do a boat load of practice questions so that you will recognize the main gist of the question is asking before you even read it.
Treat yourself to some ice cream, pho, meat-ball sandwich, or what ever is good to you and rebuild. Distance yourself from friends, family and social media for a bit and you will pass.
Good luck,
Uriah

Subject: CMA Part 1 test
I took my CMA test today and failed miserably. The time was really confusing. When doing the Wiley practice test, the countdown starts at the 4 hr mark. I didn't noticed that the countdown for the test started at the 3 hr mark so after about 2 hours i thought I would not have enough time to finish the first part and the essays so i started guessing the answers (big mistake). There were very long questions, lots of calculations, and nothing similar to Wiley's practice questions. By the end, i think there was a glitch because the computer kept showing only 85 % of questions answered but I couldn't find any unanswered quesrions, and when i moved to the next step I received the failed message. Probably 25% of my questions didn't get credited.
