A 5th Semester general question

We have to move our return tickets home in a couple weeks so we have to decide now when to leave in August. I was wondering how much sooner in general is 5th semester done compared to the other semesters? Do you need to stay until the complete finals week is over? Any help is appreciated!

I left about 3-4 weeks before semester officially ended... I think you get out a few weeks before everyone else if you want. We could leave after we passed a comp. and passed the kaplan simulated exam.

For reference, the last requirement for 5th semester is the Kaplan Simulated exam, which this semester is taking place December 6th. This is certainly not 3 weeks early. Don't count on leaving much earlier than the week before the last week of classes.
