How many periods per week?

Hii

was just curious really as to whether all schools have the same number of periods of subjects per week for AS level.

We have 7 periods a week per option subject.

is this the same as everyone?

:cool:

I had 9 periods a fortnight. A period is one hour, so that's 4.5 hours a week. (so four subjects = 18 hours taught time a week)

Yeah, I'm curious about how long I'll spend at college...when I went for my taster lessons in February I think the maths teacher said we'll be taught for 3 hours a week, but I'm not sure if that's just maths or if it's the same for all subjects. Actually, I think it must vary, because isn't a full-time course a minimum of 16 hours a week?

9 x 35 minute periods a week for each subject
So that's nearly 5.5 hours a week teaching time per subject.
But I'm doing my 6th form in school, not a college

We had the same for AS as for A2...

One period per day (1 hour long) per subject. (So much for variety lol.) Total of five hours per subject per week.

(In Yr12 you also had three 1 hour frees, 1 hour of PE and 1 hour of 'enrichment' and in Yr13 you had 9 1 hour frees - up to two a day - and 1 hour of General Studies...)

I had 5 hours of each subject each week. Divided into 2 double lessons (2 hours long) and 1 single.

14 forty-minute periods per subject across a two-week timetable - most of our lessons are doubles, though.

We have 4 periods a week, at an hour each, except for the period thats at the start of the day, which is an hour and 40 mins - so we do 4 hours 40 mins of each subject a week.
