the oasis trick will not work until your score has been reported. typically, that should be about 4 weeks, but it could be much longer. in my case it was almost 3 months.
so, first check to see if your score has been reported. if not, don't bother trying as it won't work. after your score has been reported then you can try. i think the system is updated on wednesday, but it could be daily.
anyhow, it is a nice trick, but knowing about it actually made the wait worse. i was checking the thing 5 times a day, and when my score finally was reported i got the official scores just a few days later. so, i would say ignore it, and just wait for the real scores....easier said than done, though. 😎

see steps 1-5 above? you will see a date that says something like score reported at this point. if it is not there, this will not work.
the oaisis trick is a way for IMG's that took step 1 to see if they passed before the scores actually get to us.

Works for everyone, allegedly.
This trick is perhaps mroe importmant for FMG's. I used the trick and found out I passed but didn't get my scores for another 14 days!!! (That's how logn amil can take to get from the US to Australia.)
The other thing is that it does sometimes take a little while, a day or twofor the scores to feed through so don't be too distraught if you try on the day your scores are reported and it doesn't say you've passed. The other important thing is that if it lets you go ahead and rebook as though you've failed don't proceed until you get the score report telling you for sure you've failed - otherwise you may haev to go through the long process of getting the exam fee refunded which would be a pain.
