Confused re: Grading

I submitted my assignment on the 20th of December (ie earlier this week) and did the essay on the 22nd, I've just logged onto pearson vue to check the status and on the pdf score report for the assignment is showing as a pass with a mark over 114 (but not 160). Given the number of issues people are reporting with marking timescales (I personally know somebody who only recently got their results after 3 months), I struggle to believe it has been marked this quickly (and just before Christmas!). Are there any nuances with the web site that anyone else is aware of?

It also says 'Congratulations, you have achieved the certification....' etc even though I understood I was supposed to attend one of their approved courses which I haven't done.

Anyone any ideas?

I'vent reached that stage. Since you have received email, it is good for you. Wait and watch if you receive the certificate, then you are good and you don't even need to contact PearsonVue.
