Just wondering....if I am, is it a long process?

Yes. My friend went from a 153 to 170. They made her retake the exam while being watched. I believe the margin of error is 3. Otherwise, they invalidate your score. They contact you ahead of time. It's not too long of a process. I believe they sort it out within a week or two.linkx13 wrote:Just wondering....if I am, is it a long process?
That's not necessarily because of the increase itself. Everyone in the upper 2 percentiles gets audited like that, regardless of any previous scores. I think sometimes a 170 doesn't qualify as 98th percentile, but often it does, so that's most likely the primary reason she had to retake under armed guard.ManoftheHour wrote:Yes.

Sorry. Did an edit. As I submitted it, I thought it was too mean.Tanicius wrote:That's not necessarily because of the increase itself.
