For our team, we go to our teachers before each of trips and get all work that will be assigned for that week. Our mentor makes our last day of our trip "homework day" and thats where we get a lot of it done. We are also encouraged to do it on the plane rides. As for tests, our mentors with us offer the teachers to give us the tests during the trip.

But i strongly encourage members to not go on more than the amount of trips they can keep up with because the workload given to catch up can be too much to handle sometimes.
Yah alot of the time we do pretty much the same thing, you know get our homework and do it while we go to the regional or while we're at the hotel, and sometimes we do it after we get back, but alot of people also have AP and it's hard to go on even one trip you know, but in the end we always get it together.
