My school has 30 APs and about 2000 students (but it's 7-12). Most of them don't seem to give a lot of homework to me, but we have high passage rates. I admit, I'm only taking 4 this year, but I'm taking 6 (one self studied, 5 at school) next year.
AP Art History: not nightly, but maybe once a week there's a 3+ hour assignment, usually done over 2-3 days. I don't study for tests, but I almost always get the highest score in all the classes.
AP English: Basically none. When essays are assigned, maybe an hour. Maybe 3 hours for a paper. I have the easy teacher who gives no work but has a higher passage rate. The other teacher gives a ton of work and has a slightly lower passage rate.
AP Human Geography: Basically none. Maybe once a week a 30 minute assignment (reading or worksheet). The night before tests, 3+ hours, but that's only vocab and essay prep, since I don't really read, I just skim.
AP Calculus BC: Maybe 1.5 hours a night. Tests are quire rare, but I usually study a lot for them.
Next Year:
AP English: If I get the teacher I don't want, there will be busy work, but either way, there's not that much work in English
AP Chem: It'll be about 1-1.5 hours 3-4 nights a week, and a lot of studying for tests and quizzes.
AP Physics: About 1-1.5 hours a night, *tons* of studying for tests, but because of the double bell system, the two classes won't have any tests or quizzes on the same day as Chem.
AP World Hist: Reading assignments about once a week that take 3+ hours, spread out over 2 days optimally
AP French: None, basically. If I ever have it, it'll take me less than 5 minutes. French is way too easy.
AP Psych: Self study. Just reading and the teacher will give me tests whenever they take them in class. About 1 hour a week, but I might decide to copy notes from my friends who take the class, so that'll add a bit of time, but will probably be done during school.
Division of outside of school time:
About 12 hours of ballet a week. It'll be 2.5 hours most nights Mon-Th and Saturdays.
During the winter I ski all day on Thursday (will have to skip ballet) and get home at about 10 PM.
I tutor on Saturday mornings all 2nd semester. Basically, I'm busy on Saturdays until 5.
I have about 3 hours of community service a week.
I have one piano lesson a week and I practice about 2-3 hours a week. I also practice viola about 1 hour a week.
Hopefully my parents will let me take glassblowing or oil painting next year (were too daunted by extra ballet costs this year), and that would be 2 hours a week.
I don't sleep much. It's not healthy.
