A difficult interview question

Confused on College Transcript Submission
So on several of the applications I have started, the prompt for undergraduate transcripts simply asks me to upload a scanned copy of my transcript in pdf format. Is that all there is to it?

Thanks! Makes sense now.
In all the quant prep materials Ive come across I havent seen a proportionality question this difficult.

GMATPrep Exponents
Here I recognize that a possible concept is a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b). When I plugged the exponents into that format I got 2^1, for answer A, but was wrong! GMATPrep offers no explanations to its problems. If xy = 1, what is the value of 2^(x+y)^2 all over 2 ^(x-y)^2 A) 2 B) 4 C) 8 D) 16 E) 32 OA: D
