Pathway 1, how long can ECFMG wait for OET results??

Hi all,

If I pay the pathway 1 fee now (deadline for application is Jan 31), would it be Ok for ECFMG that I take OET in Feb?? or My OET results should also be out by Jan 31??

My goal of the pathway/certification is to get Step 3 done next year, so nothing to do with the Match time-line!

Thank you!!
