Where you would have lost the exam. You cleared the cut score, but post‑exploitation is the domain to fix: at 46% it is the only one below half, and on a paper where it carries 14% of the marks, four more correct answers there would have moved you from 781 to roughly 820. Six of your seven wrong answers involved persistence mechanisms rather than lateral movement.
