In short, I failed the poly for the FBI in the selection process 5 years ago. It crushed me. I ended up admitting to things that technically weren't even crimes, writing and signing a "confession." Stupid, I know, but i was young and dumb.
Now, I'm up for a spot with another federal law enforcement agency and that will require another poly.
Is my prior failure on my record? If so, will I be automatically disqualified?
If not, Do I need to remember whatever it is I admitted to as disclose that?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm fairly certain the failed FBI poly will screw me here, but want to confirm with you all. Thanks.

I know someone who flunked a FBI poly and got hired by another three-letter agency several years later. I don't know what he said or didn't say about his failure, but I know he did get hired.
