Another person here who never heard back from them, not very inspiring
of their quality of communication.  It would seem they haven't filled
it yet either - which is another warning sign that what they advertise
is not what they want ...

IME employers don't look at exam results anyway, I've only ever been
quizzed on what I'd done/knew.  I wouldn't worry about it, just find a
way to show how what you have done benefited your employer i.e. highlight
their gains as much as your technical accomplishments.  Bonus points if
you can relate those gains to something in the ad you're applying for ...
but things are not easy at the moment I have to say :-(
