This info is out of date for the Physics C exams, which are now all 3 hours each for the E&M and Mechanics portions. [/quote]

Not only is it out of date, but it's inaccurate for all of the exams that have a speaking portion (music theory and most foreign language ones).  The total testing time might be less than 3 hours, but the kids have to sit separately for the speaking parts, often one at a time.  Music theory might have 2 hrs 40 minutes of actual testing time, but in practice it usually runs 3.5 hours or more.  Yesterday, the Spanish one ran over 4 hours at my kid's school.  [/quote]
