Scored 55% on a SHRM-SCP practice exam and feeling discouraged

I took a full SHRM-SCP practice exam this weekend and ended up with a 55%. Honestly, it hit my confidence harder than I expected.

I’ve been studying consistently, but the situational questions keep throwing me off. A lot of the answers seem correct, and I think I’m overthinking the “best” response.

For people who passed after struggling with practice scores early on, did things eventually start to click? What helped you improve the most?

Right now, I’m trying not to panic and just focus on learning from mistakes instead of memorizing answers.
