We also know that the boards were taken in 2012 for the 5th year residents in Meredith's class. She mentioned if any of them failed, they would have to do it again in 2013. The hospital had iPads in S9 so it can definitely be determined that it was 2012. The only confusing parts is that the first 3 seasons were all took place in one year (GA time) Then S4 it was presumably 2007. S9 Bailey and Ben got married around Christmas time, so it was determined that it took place December of 2012. April's wedding took place a year after that. In Jimmy Evan's bio, it said he died 2014. There was a 3-week flashforward from 10.12 to 10.13. April's wedding was probably the 3rd week of December. The seasons typically end in May GA time. And usually in the even seasons premiere, they start right where the show left off, and in the odd seasons premiere, the show starts off a month or a great number of days after the season before ended. (Ex: S6: Right where the doctors left off when they were reviving Izzie and operating on George, S7: A month after the shooting, S8: The day after the S7 finale, S9: A month and a week after the S8 finale, S10: minutes after the S9 finale)
