Which happens to be the weekend before AP tests. 100% of our students take AP exams. A few take about 7 each year. Our mentors have finals that Monday. So....the idea has been thrown around in our group to attend 3 regionals without the intent to attend championships.

I was just curious on what peoples thoughts on that was? Are any other teams in the same situation?

And this is only thoughts, not saying this is our plan.

I have a tough time sympathizing, what I'm hearing is you and your students have the foresight 9 months ahead of time to identify the issue. Why not just prepare ahead of time.

I took a good deal of APs in high school, it wasn't very difficult to prepare ahead of time; AP classes/tests aren't nearly as hard as people make them out to be (or useful as they're said to be for that matter).

Let the kids make an adult decision, they're adult enough to take more than a full course-load of college classes after all.
