OET Speaking, is the 350 possible?

I just finished my speaking test and I'm spiraling a bit. I did cover all the points in both cards but forgot to introduce myself in the first card and had or 1or 2 minor grammatical slip ups in the second as my anxiety went through the roof when I realised I forgot to identify myself in the first one. Will i still be able to get the 350.

Ik nothing is for certain but I'm spiraling 😭😭

Could you evaluate my real exam writing OET subtest

Didn't practice that much bcz of my duty hours, dates and names are imaginary as I don't remember.

I forgot to mention father's gastric cancer history even when I underlined it as crucial, which is really bothering me since I left examination hall😬

Dear Dr Sanrook

Re: Anna Bruch

Thank you for seeing Ms Bruch, a 53-year-old primary school teacher who presented with symptoms suggestive of cholelithiasis.

Regarding her social history, she smokes 10 cigarette per day and drinks 6-10 units alcohol per week. She has a medical history of mild asthma since childhood, managed with budesonide 200 milligrams daily and a surgically repaired hiatus hernia.

On 01/08/2023, Ms Bruch presented with complaint of heartburn, halitosis and loss of voice. She was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease and prescribed omeprazole 20 mg twice a day as well as recommended to decrease weight, spicy food intake, smoking and alcohol consumption, to which she agreed.

On subsequent follow-up, she reported initial slight improvement which returned to original symptoms later. Her dose of omeprazole was increased to 40 mg twice daily. Ms Bruch was diagnosed with hiatal hernia and underwent diaphragmatic surgery on 05/10/2023 with no complications.

Today, she reported onset of new symptoms of central abdominal, right ribs and right shoulder pain which increases after eating.

In view of above, my provisional diagnosis is cholelithiasis. I would be grateful for your assessment and expert opinion.

If you have any query, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

General practitioner (as there was no GP name mentioned in case notes)

Results day ?

I took my exam on computer on Saturday, but I still haven’t received my results. The website still shows my scheduled exam as active. How long does it usually take for results to be released?

Error in secure Browser

Hello, this happened like 10 mins ago. Yesterday I download the secure browser and logged in and everything was working perfectly.
Today When I logged in and joined the session it appeared: "Due to limited access, you are not able to access this assessment. Please contact your administrator".

I could still take my ID and verify everything, however when I click on Proceed, a blank window with three blue dots continued appearing and it was just loading. For 15 minutes I waited and when I looked at the chat, the agent stated that I had to contact customer supports and that she was going to report the issue and note that I indeed joined the session.

I will attach the pictures, if anything had a similar situation please let me know. I already contacted customer support but I´m really anxious.

The Secure Browser didn't work properly in my OET exam and I couldn't give it

Im so fucking pissed and frustrated rn! I joined the meeting 20 mins earlier, prepared two separate laptops which I had checked prior were compatible. But neither of them ended up working. The interlocutor said she made a note of my multiple attempts to join. But their fucking shitty platform wouldnt proceed past the face and ID verification. The most frustrating and annoying 45 minutes of my life.

Can anyone help me on what to do next?? Will they give a free reschedule and how do I know it wont happen again. My computer exam is on Tuesday. I'm just lost.

Please help.

OET GUIDANCE

Hello everyone! I’m step 1 pass currently preparing for step 2.YOG:2024,wanna sit in next year’s match cycle. I plan to take step 2 in Jan 2027. And then later go for my USCEs april onwards(visa requiring). Since there’s alot of rejection lately on just observer ships basis, i wanted to strengthen my application by getting a visa appointment atleast after step 2 so that i can show i am ready to take step 3. Or even if i get rejected on just ovservership basis, i can apply emergency visa on step 3 basis. Thing is i got know that for step 3 u need to have your ecfmg certification and for that u need to apply for pathways. I do hold a permanent pmdc license and good standing certificate which makes me eligible for pathway 1. The deadline for the pathways application is Jan 31,2027. If i take step 2 tentatively in Jan,i am keeping it flexible as it is score based so i cant rush it and if my scores seem to be stuck then i cant take it in jan too. So my oet gets delayed and i cant apply pathway before 31 jan so the whole backup plan for keeping step 3 goes down too. What do you guys recommend?
Shall i go for oet in btw my step 2 prep phase? Has anyone done like this? Applied pathways before taking step 2?
Please give suggestions!

Is there no more dates available this month for the Speaking section of the test?

I’ve tried in 3 different locations, on of them in my country ?

Why there’s Availability for the listening, reading and writing but no dates for the speaking ??

I thought there’ll be more dates for the speaking section since it can be done outside a Prometric !

“Is OET Writing the hardest sub-test to consistently score well in? Curious what others found — Listening/Speaking felt more ‘trainable’ to me, Writing felt like it came down to tiny details.”
