From what I understand, and corrent me if I am wrong, the first season starts with the main group being 15-16 (17 in Alison's case) being either sophomore or freshmen (the order of highschool is freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior). In season 5 they are in their senior year of high school (as seen by the preperations for collage), which means that at least 2-3 years have passed by the end of season 5. In addition, at the beginning of season 3 when the twins arrive, Lidia specifically says how much she enjoys the new freshmen, which makes me think that the time between the second and third season is actually summer vacation, and in season 4 Liam and a new group join the the main group which appear to have just started in a new school (Beacon High).

Overall, if we follow the overall timeline as its appear to me: season 1+2 is in 2011, season 3 is in 2012, and season 4-5 is 2013.

When refering to 8 years ago in season 3 when it is 2012 its exactly 8 years beforehand.

If i am wrong please correct me, thanks
