The College Board mandates that morning exams start between 8 and 9 am, and afternoon exams start between 12 and 1 pm. It’s possible to get 1.5-2 hours between tests if the morning one starts at 8 and the afternoon one starts at 1, but many schools start the afternoon tests at noon so that they finish up closer to the usual end of the school day.

Yes - and because the College Board provides a 3-5 hour block for tests that can take 2 hours to over 4 hours sometimes students don’t get adequate time between tests — even tho it’s theoretically possible and a minimum of a 20 min break is mandated between tests.  Sounds like some AP Coordinators are better than others at helping students with this.

What if College Board just formalized what some schools and parents already do informally — allow students to pick from one of two testing days for their test?  That way students could address the potential overlap  issue created from having two tests scheduled for one day and also provide options for managing conflicting demands.[/quote]
