To update this thread- I took the exam on 4-13-23 and encountered the same dilemma. After the exam I saw a “Congratulations” screen, but was unsure. Within a few hours I received an email confirming that I had indeed passed the exam.
I got my email confirmation 2.5 hours after the exam. It has been a very stressful 2.5 months of Project Management Training and on-going preparatory review. Considering this pandemic, no daycare and with fulltime work. Finally pressure is off my shoulder and on my 1st Attempt, I Passed. I am now PMI Certified!!!
