Cant seem to get past the model test. Feeling defeated

I've done a total of 3 model tests. 2 were last year when i was more junior so didnt pass. I tried again (obviously at a different shop) this year and i know i didnt pass again. It was infra asset level modelling which i have little experience in but it still sucks. I prepped alot with all of the energy cases I had but i could have never expected this type of test. Anyone else go through this? How did you not feel defeated and continue to work at it? Im only giving myself 36hrs to feel sorry for myself then moving on.
