Not a whole lot to do with the point of this thread, but actually, I'm almost positive that it's true that there's only one day a year you can take the AP test in any given subject. There is a two-week period in May where AP tests are given, and each test is given the same day at approximately the same time all across the US (i.e., English lit is Monday morning of Week 1 EVERYWHERE across the country, and if you miss it, you can't make it up on, say, Thursday). The testmakers don't allow makeups because the format of the test is exactly same across the entire United States (how else would they make sure that kids in Florida are learning the exact same information as kids in Washington?), and they don't want somebody to be able to take the test in the morning and then call their friend who goes to a different school and tell her what's on the test so she can study that before taking the test in the afternoon . . . it would screw up the "objectivity" of the test.
Although my general thought is that it's only a freaking test. So what, they'll have to take Intro to Psych at the university next year instead of getting credit for it now? At least it'll be an easy GPA booster. It's not the end of the world.

It's true that there's only one time on one day - the only way an exception is made is if you are supposed to be taking two at the same time. My junior year my friend had AP Art something and AP US History at the same time, so she got to take the Art one that afternoon.
These girls don't deserve the opportunity to take them at another time. My high school had some screwed up hazing, and yes, I have eaten mud. I then clocked the person who held my head down in the mud. We both got suspended from track for a week. She had a black eye for her senior prom and missed the Sectional meet. I hope she thought it was worth it. I have no sympathy for the seniors who participated in it - it's not that hard to stop a situation like that. I stopped it along with the one other girl who was a freshman in that event. Somebody should have stopped it.
I think all the boys who were there should be suspended too. I know they would have been at my school, and anyone there who was an athlete would have been off the team, that violates the honor code.
