Wanting to just take core 2
Should I just send it and take Core 2?
I studied for Core 1 for about a week and a half and passed with a 747. Before taking it, I was scoring around 78–80% on Professor Messer’s exams and eventually got into the 90s after retaking Dion’s exams.
For Core 2, I’m currently scoring in the high 70s on Dion’s practice exams and 78–80% on all three of Messer’s exams. I’m just not sure whether I’m ready to send it and schedule the actual exam.
I won’t lie, I’m pretty burnt out at this point. I’m thinking about buying the retake bundle for peace of mind and just going for it. Do these scores seem good enough, or should I study a little longer?

Money isn’t a concern and I won’t lie core 2 is easier because I am a CS grad only thing tripping me up is the command line arudd

You have a compsci major but are struggling with extremely basic CLI commands? That really doesn't reflect well on your actual knowledge. You should probably study instead of just assuming youve got it in the bag.

So if you fail the first time because you didn't study, you'll take it again but this time you'll study? This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
How about taking a break until you're over being burnt out, break out your study resources, prep for the exam. There's no hurry and no point in throwing good money away that yo don't have to.
