GMAT Score:800
At first I was a little worried, or maybe outraged, or in something along the lines of fight or flight mode, when I saw that I had received a Notice Of GMAT Testing Irregularities from Pearson Vue Security Team. Then I realized what was going on and my blood pressure came back down.

I guess everyone who scores 800 on the GMAT gets a notice something like this. Still it's kinda funny.

Meanwhile I still haven't gotten my official scores two weeks after I took the test. Maybe they are still checking to see whether I cheated.

Hope they liked watching the videos of me rockin' their cute lil' test.

Nothing really.

That's just their bizarre way of saying that they don't see any reason for you to take the test again after you score 800.

I actually got my official scores later that same day in the late evening. So I guess they sent the Notice Of Testing Irregularities as a preliminary part of the process of delivering the official scores.

Two weeks still seems like a long time and I am guessing that before they released the scores they did do some extra due diligence.
