A retab is very unlikely to change anything.

If you had some pencil eraser marks on your sheet, those could have screwed up the scantron. So, retab is not a bad idea.
Who knows, you may pass? What is the harm in trying it. Worst case scenario: Your $100 is lost. You need to see how that will or will not affect you.

Also, taking level 2 for the 3rd time may be easier than you think. You may need to prepare only for 2 months or so. But, I can also totally see how you are not interested in taking it again. It is mentally draining just thinking about it.
At the same time, as time passes by and Dec. or Jan. rolls along, you may be in a different mindset and the July results may not be fresh in your memory and it may be a lot easier to study for the exam then.

"and looking at your score band, that's certainly a fail"

lol the whole point is a retab is that the guy thinks something went wrrong in the process of the machine reading his scantron

so yeh, his scores are gona look like a fail....

and looking at your score band, that's certainly a fail

I have never heard of someone pass after a retab, but they could be out there.

If this is bothering you and a $100 would settle it, do it.
