My Step 2 test date is July 22nd right now. I am planning on applying to Ophtho (apps due at beginning of September around Sept 1st or Sept 2nd this year). I'm seeing that after the new system, it's taking longer (4-8 weeks) for scores to come out.

Is July 22nd too late for me to take the exam? Sept 2nd would be exactly 6 weeks from July 22nd. I am getting paranoid that by taking more time to study for my exam, I'll be potentially not getting my score back in time.

People are saying it's taking extra long because the test format just changed, but will the impacts of the format change still carry through all the way until July?
