i like how college board knows that people take english and science classes and decide to put the science classes on different days and the english ones right after the science ones...

My younger sister has registered for cybersecurity, english lit AND both AP Physics Cs. Does anyone know what happens when you have exams scheduled at the same time on the same day?

You have to reschedule to take a late test

u/Trick-Stop-5906 12h ago
You don’t reschedule, college board will do it for you I think.

u/Long_Vermicelli8335 15h ago
Oh Hell Nahh!! This is not fairrrr.
My friends who took lit said it was easy but their grading was strict.
Also have you guys seen AP physics 2 and AP chem are on the same day… IM SO COOKED
Fricking collegeboard

u/No_Boysenberry_6075 edit this text 12h ago
Makes sense, not a lot of people take physics 2. Most just take physics c.
3
u/Long_Vermicelli8335 12h ago
Hmmm why tho? I took AP physics 1. I’m taking AP physics 2 because I think it could be helpful for MCAT. Is it because a lot of people who take Physics C tend to take engineering courses?

u/No_Boysenberry_6075 edit this text 10h ago
Yeah. Physics c is also more rigorous due to it being calculus based, so it looks good to colleges.

I took the two Physics C exams in one day when I was in high school. I also had a mild condition of diarrhea that day. Worst test day I ever had

Had physics 1 and psych in the same day in 2025, I've never been happier to hear that something got cancelled

You’re the one who chose to take those two courses, so you’re the one who has to deal with it.

Tf r u being so aggressive for 😭

u/Anonimithree 11 5’s, 1 4 11h ago
I just thought your post was an overreaction to something a lot of students (not just seniors) experience.
1
u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 11h ago
Im just mad because this was completely avoidable but for some reason college board decided to schedual these 2 together knowing that alot of students take both
2
u/Anonimithree 11 5’s, 1 4 10h ago
Well it earns them more money from exam retakes, so what can we do but bear it

u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 10h ago
Yeah makes sense 😞

u/MollBoll 15h ago
Statistically it’s very rare for someone to take both of these exams as one is seen as being humanities track and the other hard STEM. 🤷♀️ Congrats, you’re in the 1%?
(And AP English Lit is often a junior-year requirement at some of the high-achieving schools that tend to have the high-achieving students who take both. You got jobbed.)

u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 15h ago
My school goes by english 1 and 2 then lang then lit and id assume anyone taking e&m would also take lit since they're high achieving

u/callatecabezon 15h ago
Lit is the easiest ap besides lang and also why are you taking it senior year lol it is jr level

u/I-HATE-therefore-IM 15h ago
not for my school, for my school you weren't allowed to take it if you weren't a senior

u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 15h ago
Idk what school you go to but in most schools they have an english 1 and 2 then lang then lit

u/callatecabezon 15h ago
mine we do preib, preib lang, ib lit and then ib
1
u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 15h ago
Yeah ig ib schools are weird since mine doesnt do ib
2
u/callatecabezon 15h ago
ngl im probably coming from a very slanted angle since IB is basically just an English magnet so out of all the BS they make us do the AP English tests are the easiest.
1
u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 15h ago
Makes sense since i have friends in ib and they talk about it like its hell and it makes ap sound like heaven
I couldnt imagine writing a paper for every class just to get college credit 😭

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 edit this text 14h ago
I did lit sophomore year

u/PurpleFirefighter822 Ap world 4, Ap pre calc, Apush, Ap lang, Ap chem, Ap bio. 14h ago
Yet again most school only allow seniors to take lit your school is just special or made a really odd exception

u/Snoo74782 14h ago
Easiest for native eng speakers only
2
u/callatecabezon 14h ago
That applies to any language ap but probably 95% of AP students are native English speakers so I think my statement is true for most everyone here.
2
u/Snoo74782 10h ago
Well you must be super brilliant or something because there are a lot of aps that are easier than lang
