The 6-8 week wait also was in effect in 1980!? (Another memory was having to drive to the nearest FCC facility for taking the tests, which was about an hour - on the interstate - from where I lived.)
I failed the first attempt (had to return in a month when the next tests were scheduled) because I was expecting one form of Morse code test, got another, and had a bad case of brain freeze-up when the code started flying.? (I didn't know it then, but the freeze-up was actually due to a medical issue.)

What about waiting for your ham license from the FCC? IN 1960 it
took about six weeks, and there was no internet to look it up early.
