As for seven APs-one girl on our team will be taking AP Bio, Euro, both Englishes, BC Calc, and if she decides to, Environmental Science. All of these would be prepped by a class except for Environmental Science. She's also part of the leadership, as well as a coxswain on the crew team. So yes, it is possible, and she does contribute a lot to her extracurriculars by prepping a lot during the summer.
The problem is not that we need the time to cram. It would mostly be to alleviate nervousness and rest up before the tests. To balance that goal with the stress and time that Championships takes up? I don't totally know how we would manage that. St. Louis is at least a ten-hour drive from Atlanta, and even if we fly, which would probably be more expensive, we'd still be tired.
And that's just pre-college exams. Our mentors' exams are for graduating college, and in one case, heading off to med school. So-pretty important stuff.
What is everyone else thinking about tests and championships? I know some people said they have standardized tests that weekend that would have to be made up?

That's why I said let the kids make an adult decision; the team goes, and if a kid can't handle doing both, he will have to choose one or the other (I would assume that means the student chooses to miss champs).
