We have the 9 periods a day at 42 minutes each. Things move quickly. Older son (college soph) took 6 AP’s senior year. HS senior has 4 this fall. Conflicting AP tests are taken one after the other on the same day. We are also in NY so school starts after labor day, unlike the southern schools (don’t know about the rest of the country) so the AP’s in particular require lots of work. (School ends the end of June so form Mid May on it is smoothe sailing for the AP classes).

After school activities/work, and any EC’s and class trips all have an effect but somehow they all get through it.
