It all depends on what you are good at. My junior year I took 5 APs (physcis C mech and E&M, chem, bio, psych) and two courses at a local college (Calc 3 and Differential equations which I would count as being at or above AP level) and I would say I had at most two hours of homework/studying per week in total. I got all 5s on the exams and there wasn’t really anything I found difficult about them but that is because I am very good at STEM. If you are very good at a class in the fact that you don’t need to study or review and you will still remember all the material then it all becomes really easy. With the classes I took most of the time is showing work which takes a very long time if you have to reteach yourself the material while you are doing it. If you naturally have instant recall of the material you are learning then most things should never take over 30 minutes unless they are writing assignments or very large amounts of problems. (As a more direct answer, being so good at the subjects that we don’t have to study or practice and can instantly apply anything we have learned)
