[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior regularly takes tests that are longer than 45 minutes.  The one year he had math in the daily 45 minute block, the tests were spread over 2 days.  Which fine, but really opens up even further opportunities for cheating which is already a problem.

For the AP classes that involve writing, it's impossible to do writing tasks as given on the AP test in 45 min.  Meaning if your exam is a DBQ or LEQ, when are you ever practicing these or being tested on this?  I wonder how HB handles this.

Over 45 min math test? At APS? That’s ridiculous.

Aren’t AP writing tasks not “write all this in 90 minutes in one passage”, but multiple sections?  We have had APs for decades, and I’m sure it’s a solvable problem. [/quote]

Ok, I guess your child isn't in the same math classes my kid has been in.  He has regularly had over 45 minute math tests in intensified math classes.

DBQ, which are used in all the AP history exams, are 60 minutes.  This is also generally considered the hardest component of these exams.  So something you want to review and test on. [/quote]
