Okay - this is kinda killing me - I have been advised to ignore this earlier on the group.

What has everyone done for this? Is it safe to ignore?

On top of this point only they mentioned unofficial scores are enough for review process

if you had your score alr mailed to the school (when u took the exam) it would show up as completed but if not it would show up as awaiting and you’ll need to verify the score later when admitted

That's understandable. I hadn't sent it earlier
