Hi, that must be really frustrating — especially being right at the 70% mark. I’d recommend first reaching out to Databricks certification support to clarify how the scoring is calculated (sometimes rounding rules or section-level requirements apply).

If you’re planning to retake the exam, you might consider reviewing additional practice resources like CertsLab along with the official Databricks documentation. Extra scenario-based practice can help strengthen weak areas and push your score comfortably above the passing threshold next time.

Don’t worry — you were extremely close. A focused revision should definitely help you clear it on the next attempt. 💪
