It's too bad, because the kids put time into it for the payoff of the matches, not a concert.
Our team (and I assume many others) is having the same problem with our IB. Roughly 24 hours after we get home from St. Louis, our seniors have to take their first exam. Not to mention we're missing reviews that will cover the two-three years of content on the exams. Luckily, the seniors on our team have already prepared for this: we're having our own study/review sessions.

It would be pretty nice if FIRST could accomodate for these very expensive and important tests. As is, FIRST doesn't give me college credit :/
