Yes. However, because the exam is administered only in May, the Development Committee recommends that you select a block schedule that allows class meetings all year long, to ensure that students get the equivalent of a full year of instruction before taking the exam. Given the amount of outside reading most students need to do, and the hundreds of works of art to be covered in class, a half-year course is impractical. Some schools with block scheduling extend the AP course over two blocks, giving the students a full year of longer daily classes. This is obviously ideal. Other schools with block scheduling offer AP courses over the course of a year, but on an every-other-day schedule, which can be equivalent to the amount of class time students receive in a traditional setup with shorter class periods every day. Schools committed to a block schedule should contact other schools with similar block schedules to learn how they have coped with the challenges of teaching AP Art History.
