I like your humble spirit and your admission that you need to learn more to do well in the real world (and CCIE), but I would also recommend that you not beat yourself up about this particular test.
It doesn't sound like a good test. The test should match what you learned in the semester. Newer educational theories say that the goal should be for everyone to pass a final exam. If everyone passes, then the class worked. It sounds like some old-fashioned meanie wrote this test. Don't get too upset by it.
