I'm pretty sure this is the technology shop with a MSC who is in the top 15, though low on the list.
I self assigned the shop. I failed the test three times. I emailed the scheduler and asked to be removed and pointed out the test errors. The shop was removed.
Today, I too received the "go ahead" email, and it also stated that the shop I tried to pass the test for was due that evening.
After receiving the confusing email, I went back and forth for two hours with the scheduler, attempting to get her to understand what the "go ahead" email implied. She apologized, but never gave a definitive reply.
From what I gathered and assumed, there was a glitch with the certification test and the shops were open to self assign for those who failed the test.
I think.
