<p>^but do you think other schools moved their start dates up to better prepare for AP testing?</p>
<p>I can’t speak for other states, but I know that my state’s start time correlated with crops. It’s just a bonus that the students have more time to prepare for AP exams. </p>
<p>That said, other states with later start times seem too reluctant to change. </p>
<p>But, the truth is…now HS schedules are dictated by sports. One school or regular sized district can’t just unilaterally have a very unique schedule without sports schedules being affected.</p>
