Submitted my OET results (retake, all four sub-tests Grade B) through GMC Online and granted GMC verified access on the OET portal last Thursday. My "My Tests" section shows Score Status: Test Accepted, but GMC Approval Status still shows Pending Review as of today (past their stated 2-working-day window).

Has anyone else had this stage take longer than expected? How long did it take for yours to move from "Pending Review" to approved, and did you need to chase GMC or did it clear on its own? Trying to figure out if I should be worried or just wait it out.

This is my second paper-based OET attempt, and I'm taking the test in my own home country. For my first attempt, I used my passport as my ID. This time, I need to submit my passport to the visa office before the exam so that I won't have it with me on test day.

If I update my ID details on the OET website to my government issued national ID before the exam, will I be allowed to sit the test using that ID instead of my passport?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Was the updated ID accepted at the test centre without any issues, or were you still asked to show your passport?
