"passed" ccie written pending review

ok
so it's been a couple of years since i took a cisco exam.
now they have magic software that determines if you deserve your score ?
i'm all for them protecting their intellectual property ...but
im sitting there taking the test and wondering... am i going too fast ....
too slow ..... ?
near the end of the test and a complex question came up and i immediately marked it
because i wanted to get to the 20 questions behind it instead of wasteing 10 min on that question .... it complained that i didnt click the exhibit (or didnt scroll all the way to the right of the screen) had to do that to move on .... does that mean i may be profiled as cheater because of the way i choose to take the test ?
what if i want to tear through all the questions i immediately know then go back .....

well all this is moot anyway because in a week or two you cant go back anymore .....

Are you making room in your schedule to fit in a Lab trip?

Sounds like a rant, but rest assured that the majority probably agree with you. But the convenience that we loss goes to the strengthening of the validity of our certifications. That, I believe it well worth the hassle.

What does this mean? Could you please explain?

They're going to remove the ability to go back and review questions on the CCIE written exams and make them more like the CCNA/CCNP type of exams where once you go past a question you can't go back to it.

Every exam gives you a score but says that certification completion is pending. I got the same message when I took the CCNA Security and the BGP/MPLS Composite. I haven't heard of anyone being rejected after a pass so I wouldn't worry about it. If the screen said you pass, you have 18 months to get ready, so don't spend any of that time wondering if you have to re-take the written.
