Joe, just the fact that you finished three hours earlier and tested and went
over your configuration should tell you that you were ready and you knew the
stuff, you got out feeling good. I personally think that the reason you
failed is because you misinterpreted the questions, you basically did them
one way whereas, they wanted it done in another way.
What you are NOT telling people is that you took few attempts and then got
busy and just started again; I honestly would try till I get it. Some are
not good test takers but they are excellent engineers.
