[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]mine has AP lang this morning then AP Physics C M only 20 mins in between![/quote]

what schools are these that are scheduling it this way?  Langley HS has a 2-hour break inbetween the morning and afternoon AP exams, so it's clearly an issue with the administration's scheduling and not anything else.  [/quote]

How are they doing this?  Morning APs start at 8:00 local time.  Afternoon ones start at 12:00 local time.  These times are set by college board.  Are schools allowed to delay the start of the afternoon ones?  I think my kid would prefer a 20 minute break over having a 2 hour one, and then being stuck at school until 5:00.  [/quote]

DP here.  At our non-DC suburban public school, the morning AP starts right at 8 a.m. (school requires check-in at 7:45 a.m.) and ends by 11 a.m.  The afternoon one is from noon to 3 p.m.  However, there could be up to a 2 hour gap because some exams are not meant to go for the full 3 hours (according to my kid), while some take the full 3 hours.  I don't recall kid ever getting out later than 3:30 due to AP delays, but heard of one bad scenario with the French AP where kids had to wait around for a few hours waiting for the AV stuff to download (?!?!)[/quote]

Weird.  All 6 of my kid's exams this year were over 3 hours, especially with the 10 minute break that the school is supposed to give between the MCQ and FRQ parts.  Are there that many 2-ish hour exams?[/quote]
