Found a way to trick the numerical test and take it again - Should I do it?

Hey guys,

I applied to a position where the application process is being outsourced by an HR consultancy firm. Did a numerical test a few weeks ago and never heard back. It went well but not stellar (I should have gotten a 75%)

I recently got an email from the HR firm saying that they havent received my results and that I have a couple of days to submit them. 

The thing is that I found a way to create a second test account using the email I used to apply for the position and delete the details linked to my first test account.

I am now deciding whether I should reply to the HR firm with my new account (and improved test results) or reply that I have already taken the test and send my original account details.

What are the consequences if I get caught? Would this HR firm blacklist me from their other processes?
