plumbing apprentice in brooklyn. took the 608 on a saturday because my uncle does hvac and won't stop saying every card helps. passed type II, failed core by like two questions lol. the proctor said something about only retaking the part i failed but i was too annoyed to listen.
do i redo the whole thing or just core? does the type II pass count for anything if i don't pass core? kind of salty about it not gonna lie

hec has it right as far as I know. The sections are scored separately, so you should only need to retake Core, but you aren't certified for Type II until you've passed Core as well. Ask your certifying organization about their retake rules and the fee, because those vary.
And treat Core like vocabulary, not logic. It's the regulations, the dates, the safety and recovery rules. You either know them or you don't.
Been there... well not me, half my crew lol. From what I remember you only retake the section you failed, and the Type II pass doesn't do anything for you until Core is passed too. Ask the organization that tested you how long they hold the passing score.
