Was thinking the same thing, if it was redacted before scanning the scanner might have picked up the blacked out areas anyways

I did pass and was supposed to go to an interview, but their whole process (and being forced to sit in an exam room doing nothing for 2 hours) didn't exactly make me feel welcomed, so I cut my losses

Reminds me of an entry exam I was almost kicked out of.

We weren't allowed to leave the room, plus their exam app sucked and would crash if my pc went to sleep, so I started doodling on the screen, and the people watching over us called in their supervisor, because they thought I was cheating
