Hey, Traci - why is it that d*mn gets autocensored but dammit doesn't, and neither does "damn" in quotes? Even better, d*mn Dirty Ape's moniker escapes the autocensor, but if you quote him, it catches it in the quote.

I'll be "damned". Yer right. That's the d*mndest thing I ever saw. We've got to get this "damn" thing fixed. We can't have people just writing what every the F they want.

Well at least "damndest" doesn't slip under the radar.

I don't think that there is a time limit on them going back to look at the results again. But if you haven't heard by now, you probably won't.

I knew a guy who failed 150 and retook. The week before results were due out, he got a good new/bad news phone call. Good news, they had revisited the results from the prior May because someone had shown one of the questions to be defective - and it turned out that throwing this question out gave him a passing score. Bad news, he wasted a sitting retaking the exam.

I suppose that if you think a question should have been declared defective, you can protest and have them revisit your paper to see if it would have made a difference.

I have read that they destroy all papers after 6 months.

What is the question in question?
(hey kinda rhymes huh?)
Can somemore post the full question?
