I took Step 1 Friday last week. I am an IMG and went to OASIS to reapply for it to check if I failed. To my surprise it said I didnt take the exam! Help!!!! It said I didnt show up on the 14th of July. I have 8 hours till they open and I am dying! I tried to reapply for Step 1 since my eligibility period ended in August. It allowed me to do so. Does that mean I failed? What does it mean that OASIS is saying I didnt show up for my test? HELP!!!

I called ecfmg regarding saying I was a no show. They said the system just hasnt updated and it will only when my scores are released. I told them I tried to reapply and it allowed me, if that means anything...she said the system doesnt work that way. She said it will only update when the scores are released.
I know I am panic stricken but I remember when I took my Step 2 CS ( I am a foreign grad and didnt take the exams in order) I tried to reapply for it to see if it allowed me, thinking if it did that means I failed...It allowed me to reapply and boy did I almost die from anxiety! I really thought I failed and then I got the results and I passed. Of course its just logical for me to think this is a different scenario since its step 1 but I still am praying I passed and nothing is screwed up technically. I read my receipt, the one they give after the exam and it says that it was just a proof that I showed up and not that I finished it. I am sooooooo anxious guys! I need a Xanax! So fingers crossed. For those who believe please say a prayer for me!
Thanks for the replies!

Ive been following your progress too, fellow IMG, and got to agree with kryptik.
