<p>No. I’m staying away from AP World Language classes and their exams; I don’t have the patience for them.</p>

<p>@ryidol Yeah, gym is a required class in my state. There’s no easy way to get around it, so I must appease the requirement somehow!</p>

<p>I think it looks perfect! Just enough APs at the right difficulty level. :)</p>
<p>Two more days of school and a Chem exam! Summer is almost here! :)</p>
<p>Don’t rub it in, Nate. I have over three weeks left.</p>
<p>Ouch, Studious. We only have 4 days left, one of which I don’t even have to go to because of the way exams work out.</p>
<p>@studious: Wow that sucks, I couldn’t take 3 more weeks of that atrocious educational facility. But consequently I am suffering in Chemistry. We didn’t even have the time to go over thermodynamics, molecular geometry or electrochemistry :(. Not good considering I am taking AP next year.</p>
<p>I get out in 3 weeks and its required that I take all 7 of my exams…</p>
<p>@bluedevil: Wow, you guys make me feel like I have it way too easy. I was only required to take 2 exam’s all year. Biology and Chemistry, the Biology exam was a joke and the Chem is just a lab with 10 questions ;).</p>
<p>Wow, I’ve never been exempt from an exam. And I won’t until second semester senior year (unless I miss more than four days).</p>
<p>@studious: Most of the courses at my high school are very easy to be exempt from. There is only the Biology and Chemistry (for those who doubled up) that are mandatory. Thus far, I have only had to take 3 exams in my high school career.</p>
<p>Do you take midterm exams? You are so lucky.</p>
<p>@studious: Nope, we run a block schedule at my school. So each class except AP’s are just one semester long. We have 4 classes a day and each are 90 minutes in length.</p>
<p>Our school is a full-year system. But we also have four blocks a day, 90 minutes each (we alternate classes every other day). I’d rather have a semester system, honestly.</p>
<p>^ Wow, that is very peculiar. I have never seen a set up like that. Personally I’m not a fan of our schedule. It is almost impossible to schedule an AP course since there is only 1 period when it is offered and only 4 periods to work with. I had to give up Spanish 4 due to schedule conflicts. So now I am taking Honors Psychology instead.</p>
<p>nate, color me jealous. Your school system sounds fantastic. Exemption is impossible over here unless you’re a senior.</p>
<p>@grammernazi: Yeah, it is nice at times. But I find it as an excuse to do poorly. I always hear “Who cares, it’s not like we are going to be tested on it.” Opening the “just getting by” gate for those who don’t care enough to learn the material. My school system is actually pushing towards a system similar to yours. Luckily this will only be affecting the incoming freshman class. I am actually for enforcing exams in many of the classes at my school. At least the fundamental courses like World History, US History, English 2 3 and 4, Geometry and Algebra 2. All of these courses are mandatory for success after high school, yet we do not mandate exams for any of them. But the sad thing is even with the lack of exams and difficulty of my school system, we have an average of 30 kids drop out every year. </p>
