I'm gonna have the same thing on the 15th with Macro/Micro. Will I have enough time to eat in between?

Yes, both exams are short enough.

A bit. I had a friend last year who took both and he was the last person to arrive in the testing room, if he had been 2-3 minutes later he wouldn't have been able to get in.

Yes, because Gov Pol is only 2 hours and 25 minutes, not three hours.

I know a couple of people in the same situation. The AP coordinator here said there'd be enough time, but she'd hold the test for a while if something weird happens during Spanish.

you will have an ample amount of time to eat and get yourself adjusted before taking your next test. However, make it easy on everyone and pack your lunch. Don't expect to be able to run home or to Subway or the cafeteria. If your AP coordinator has not told you the amount of time you have in between, then pack your lunch so you can eat quickly if necessary. Weird things happen and sometimes you end up with more time than you expected. When I took Chem/Psych last year, I was only supposed to have 20-30 min but I ended up having an hour between the two tests (which allowed for some much needed cramming.)

I wouldn't worry about having time between Econ. The tests are not as long as some others (like calc).

at my school AP exams start at 7:45 and 12:15... MY orchestra teacher is having a lunch for the seniors at 11:15... My first AP exam is AP spanish (and apparently it went on too long last year) and it also has a lot of technical parts (like recording)... so do you think I could still make the 11:!5 lunch?

everlane, quite a few people at my school are taking both those tests, but my AP coordinator set aside at least 20 minutes for them to eat. Afternoon tests don't start exactly at noon. If you look on the answer sheet, it asks what time you started; CB just wants schools to start within a specific time frame. Some schools may start around 12:30 to give students time in between tests.

Milk, I would have a friend of mine go to the lunch and save some stuff for me and pick it up after the Spanish test.
