But if God knows your decision, (If it's an extremely educated guess, that's an entirely different matter) then you never actually made the decision for yourself. What you did was follow God's script and deluded yourself quite effectively that you were making the choice.
Therefore free will = nonexistent, with the inclusion of any omnipotent being.

Depends on how mutable history is. If we assume that it is immutable (so it can be used as a comparison to an all-knowing God. If you assume it's mutable then all you've done is create an analogy to the "God makes extremely educated guesses" scenario), then no, you made precisely zero difference to their scores. However, you won't be able to travel through time in an immutable universe, so the whole question is moot.
