Just missed passing
I took the exam about 3 weeks ago. Failed with a 756 where as you probably know, passing is 764. What really hurts is I should have known better on one question relating to social engineering attacks.
But I had a thought when I left the testing center which might explain why I didn't do as good as I thought I should. Were any questions requiring multiple answers, or were all the questions single answers? I tend to make a bad habit of not checking for that in practice tests, and I know I could have made that error in the CCNA exam, though fortunately on the CCNA they want a specific number of answers and will stop you if you don't give enough answers. At least I think it was the CCNA, could have been an MS test.
I am focusing on my MCSE right now to take advantage of the retake promotion (hopefully won't be necessary), then will retake Security+

I don't think there are any "multiple answer" questions on the Sec+. If you were that close, I would retake it soon rather than waiting.All things are possible, only believe. -

Sorry to hear that, that's too close. We've had several more with a 756 in the past (try www.techexams.net/forums/search.php and search for 756 in Security+ forum only). I think it's wise to wait a month, good luck with that next attempt and let us know if you need any help with certain topics.
And welcome on board by the way, I see you've posted some good stuff already
