losing hope, should I just give up?

Hi everyone, sophomore at a target here aiming for an IB SA2027 role—I've just been frustrated with myself because of the suited assessment. 

When I was a freshman, I took the suited assessment not knowing it carried over/what it even really was. Completely bombed because I didn't expect it (before I had only done Pymetrics) and was stressed out in my first yr of college. Now I think I'm just doomed especially because I can't retake it and all the EBs use suited :( I definitely take responsibility for my ignorance, just really mad at myself rn.

I think it's just over for me. I know my score is definitely either at best average or very below—I wish they would just tell because then I'd know whether to just give up....
