I took Step 2CK in Peoria, Illinois on 12 Sep. Results back from my school yesterday, about 3.5 weeks. And, yes, I used the FRED software. So, for what it's worth, it seems that the delay might have already been resolved by the time mid-September rolled around. Or maybe I got lucky. 🙂
(And, yes, I did decently, thank you very much. 🙂
