<p>I was looking at some posts and people were writing 8 classes! At my school we have 6- 7 if you want to take zero hour at 6 o'clock in the morning =(. I was wondering why some people were able to take like 10+ AP's... Am I the only one with this disadvantage?</p>
<p>Nah of course not. I have 7 classes, excluding lunch.</p>
<p>Our school only has 6 unless you want to take PE or Jazz Band at 6 in the morning. I really wish my school had block periods where you learn 4 subjects for one semester and then another 4 for the other semester. It seems like you get to learn a lot more in the same amount of time when the school does it that way. I guess that's what I get for living in the stae of Washington though:( </p>
<p>By the way Promise, your school sounds like mine. Where do u go to school? I go to school in one of the suburbs of Seattle.</p>
<p>Whoa that's strange- 1) I live in washington too! 2) And we just had a debate about whether or not we could consider Bremerton (where I live) a suburb of seattle.</p>
<p>Yeah well I'm glad at least two people can only take 6. I'm so jealous of you guys that get to learn more and take all the electives you want. :p</p>
<p>we have 7 (45 minutes - the last 2 are 40 though for some reason). 7 day rotation so we don't have the same class at the same time.</p>
<p>7 classes not including lunch. recently our school policy was change to make all 7 periods required for all students unless you have a college release</p>
<p>8 .... 4 90 minute periods each day...alternating between periods 1-4 on one day, and 5-8 on the other.</p>
<p>at my school everyone has 5 one-hour periods, and the 11th/12th graders have some 6th period classes. i think it's 2 or 3 in an 8-day cycle. everyone takes the ib diploma, though, so it's pretty rigorous despite the relatively short days.</p>
<p>edit: we do take more than 5/6 classes. it's a rotating schedule, so we actually take 6 ib classes, theory of knowledge, and one elective. there are also free periods involved somewhere. (i'm a sophomore and don't have any experience with this particular aspect.)</p>
<p>7 day rotation? That's odd, I've never heard of that.
what time does your guy's school start end at if you have 6+ classes?</p>
<p>Mine we go to 7:50-2:37 with 6 classes, and one required studyhall.
1hrish monday-friday</p>
<p>8:15 - 3:10</p>
<p>thisyearsgirl--your schedule seems confusing. =</p>
<p>yall just dont know what you have: 8:15 - 3:10!! You wake up later than us <em>and</em> get to take another class.</p>
<p>it seems confusing, but it makes sense once you get used to it. the reason we have a rotating schedule is to fit all the classes in without having 10-hour school days. ;)</p>
<p>by the way, this is 8:15 to 2:50/3:55 (depending on whether you have sixth period).</p>
<p>My Classes start 7:45~3:05</p>
<p>Same as Matt up there, max is 8 classes, plus one night class (TOK for IB students) and then EPIC-Medical Careers. </p>
<p>So if you look at it in full, (as in a over a two-day, 1-4, 5-8) I have 10 classes, 2 of them being only once a week. (EPIC and TOK)</p>
<p>Oh, lol, I see! Some of your class schedules are like ours on test days- half now, half later. </p>
<p>I tried searching for this- but what are IB classes? Are the like AP classes?</p>
<p>Aww I'm sorry promise. I thought everyone had either block scheduling or 7 classes. Maybe you can petition for more.. academic oppurtunities? :)</p>
<p>ib stands for international baccalaureate. it's more or less equivalent to ap in terms of difficulty (i think? i don't have experience with ap), but it's an actual coherent two-year program. there's more information [url="<a href="http://www.ibo.org%22%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.ibo.org"]here[/url</a>] if you're interested.</p>
<p>Yeah I think IB classes are honor classes with the same rigor as AP classes? I wouldn't know, our school doesn't offer those. And our school only offers 8 APs. Compared to some people on here, that isn't a lot.</p>
<p>I take 6 classes plus jazz band at 6:30. Ugh. I live in a seattle suburb too.</p>
<p>Our school has 4 periods, each consisting of approximately 80-90 minutes. Ugh.</p>
