Resueswimmer--
Sorry to hear that you failed your exam!
A failing score is never good, but you should look at it from the perspective that InstantCert got you within two points of a passing score--if you had gotten just a couple of more questions right, you would have gotten a passing score.
Now for a lot of people, they manage to study only InstantCert and achieve a passing score, but you need to find out what works for YOU. Imagine--if you had just spent an extra hour or two on the discussion forum here in the Specific Feedback section, doing a little reading up on Wikipedia on topics recommended by other members, that probably would have been more than enough to push you over the top.
Instead of looking for someone to blame, you should use this as an opportunity to fine-tune your study approach and make sure you never fail again. The good thing about InstantCert is that you know that in your case, it'll probably get you at least 95% of the way there. I would recommend for your next test that you study InstantCert closely (read everything--don't just memorize the blanks--study the explanations closely too), and then spend an extra couple of hours doing some additional supplementary study.
No study resource you find is going to be 100% on-the-mark (i.e. you're never going to go in and recognize all of the answers right off the bat; there's always going to be educated guessing involved) unless they're handing you a copy of the test. We obviously don't do that; our goal is to teach you the fundamentals of the subject, which is generally enough for you to go in and figure out enough answers to achieve a passing score.
If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to write me directly at webmaster@instantcert.com
