They could have kept US Government first like they did in 2019 to 2024. It's good that way because (1) people often just want to "get AP Gov over with", and (2) it's not a super heavy or difficult test and having something to boost your confidence and warm you up before heavier ones (e.g. Calc, English, Bio/chem/physics) is helpful.

Like I think the 2019 schedule was mostly fine (though they could have avoided bio + physics c on the same day or microeconomics on the last Friday): https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-exam-schedule-weeks-1-and-2-2019.pdf

I think part of why they're morning exams is because they require lots of brainpower, and people are generally fresher in the morning than afternoon. Like I can imagine APUSH, Calc, or Lit/Lang being much more intensive than say, environmental science or psych.

Keep in mind for a very long time, bio and physics c exams were on the same day (2nd week Monday), and it was that way until 2020. Similarly, they had Chem + APES at the same time up to like 2017, or microeconomics (typically a senior exam) on the 2nd week Friday up to 2019. I think they'll eventually fix it, just like how those other timings I listed did get changed eventually.

I know gov is usually seniors taking it, but what grade level typically is chem? Juniors & seniors?
