I've seen this too, and it's incredibly frustrating. Certs should be a stepping stone into the industry, not a stumbling block. It feels like the focus is more on making money from retakes rather than ensuring the test reflects actual job skills. The mismatch between study materials and test questions is disheartening for anyone trying to advance their career or break into a new field. We need a system where the effort put into learning is matched by the value of the certification gained.
