Failing Core Spring Certification

Finally attempted the Core Spring Certification today morning 09:30am, and in about 1hr 20mins time I failed.

I was really shocked since I really prepared for this exam and while I was answering the questions I knew that I didn't know all the answers but then I never expected to fail. I needed 80% or more to pass and I got 72%. I guess I correctly answered 36 out of the 50 questions.

My immediate reaction was to give the exam again but then thinking about what Sai (my ex manager) said, that I already have loads of technical certifications and getting one more technical certification isnt going help much. I feel that if I do give the exam gain it will be purely for getting the certificate and less about learning anything new. But then on the other hand I just cant give up on this certification since I failed.
In either case (if I want to attempt it again or not) I have a 30 day lock in period during which I cannot attempt the exam again. May be attempting the exam again isnt that good, since I will be spending the CFA L3 perpetration time on this certification.
