Yes.

Sounds blunt but that number would scare most airlines off, not unreasonably.

You need to ask yourself, is it your method of learning that has caught you out do you think, and thus by being better prepared you could pass? If this is the case, I’d start again, you can still have a good chance of a job if you get a decent set next time. Or just go for your CPLs, then work up to ATPLs with a bit more practical experience, if you’re that kind of learner.

However, if you tried your hardest and that was the result then maybe this just isn’t the right career path and you’re better suited to other things. Only you can answer that, and there’s no shame in either answer, just potentially saves you a huge amount of time and money to make that decision now, rather than after taking a load more exams and being in the same position.
