Attention "OASIS TRICK" lovers

[Asclepius1]

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to explain something to you. We've all heard that by OASIS TRICK one can learn about the result of the exam well before the results are posted. I tried to use the trick as early as 5 days after the exam!!! The result was disappointing: I could re-register. I thought I had failed, but kept trying it twice a week: always the same. I was upset, disappointed and frustrated. A couple of nights with little/no sleep. I did it until 4 wks after the exam and it still let me re-register with no problem. I received the result and I couldn't believe it: 239/97..!! Even one day before they mail it, I could re-register.

So, the trick is not 100% reliable. Only if it does not let you re-register, you can be sure you have passed it, but the opposite is not always true. I regret I did it and had so many terrible nights in vain. I hope this point might be of help.

Good Luck

congrats on your great score!!

I would not recommend to do the oasis trick at all. Just be patient and wait for your result . I personally think it is more exciting that way.

Okay, I am curious, I wrote the exam 10 days ago, and now when I try the OASIS trick I get this screen....
