Angry Know what I hate?!?! (with clep...)

What's with the "report the score" or "cancel the score" at the end of a CLEP?! If there's anything more nerve wracking than sitting down to take a 1.5 hour test on a subject that you have no rightful business testing on - THIS IS IT. Basically what they're saying is "You studied hard, overcame nerves & fear, scheduled a test, drove to a test site, sweat through the test, and now that you're finished - you get one chance to second guess yourself by making a decision to throw everything in the garbage - OR you can take the chance of your school finding out that you completely BLEW the test, OR the school gets a pass result..... YOUR CHOICE, but... we are not gonna tell you if you passed or failed until after you make the decision - and FYI... you'll know your score result in less than 2 seconds after making the decision because it's right here ON THE NEXT SCREEN. Deal or No Deal?!

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
