IMHO:
If/when SW starts calling for interviews, they will probably be calling almost exclusively from the 'Typed' stack of candidates. A small number of 'not yet typed' candidates might get a call, but if so, from the very top of that stack. SW can no longer hold employment candidates in a 'pool'. So they will want to interview candidates ready to start training NOW, not after some six month period in which you get your type.
YMMV
