The college: different colleges/sixth forms will do things differently. For example, some like you to do an EPQ/Core Maths/something else, and that generally takes up a few slots in a timetable.
•
How it's laid out: note that, again, this will be different for different schools. Some places have each day being one lesson, e.g. EPQ on Tuesday, English on Friday, Maths on Wednesday. Other colleges have a timetable similar to GCSEs, where you have each day as a jumble, e.g. first period Maths, second English, etcetera.
•
Study days or study periods: due to the massive workload of A-levels compared to GCSEs, you have set out Study points. Some places do this as an entire day you get 'off' which you are meant to use to conglomerate learning, revise and do homework. Other schools will have study periods, where you get points in a day without a lesson to study in.
•
Subjects: how many subjects do you plan to do? Notably if you do 4 A-levels you're going to have a lot less free time than doing 3. There are plenty of threads if you need to look more at this
