Ds is interested in studying History, Physics, Statistics and Economics. Can anyone tell me how many classroom hours this entails?

It’s a FE college if it makes any difference.

At DD's school they are allocated 9 hours per subject per fortnight, but you need to check with the college concerned.

Does the college actually allow enrolment for 4 A levels? The usual offer here is for 3.

5 hours per week in our comprehensive. My DD is studying 4. She has virtually no free periods.

Thank you Flowers

The college offers 3 subjects, with one as a reserve.

My dc’s sixth form college taught 5 hours per subject per week and students were expected to do the same in private study.

Only four hours per subject here (state 'outstanding' sixth form).

I think DD had 9 hours per subject per fortnight, and was expected to study the same on her own. She dropped one subject at the end of year 12 as she struggled with the lack of free periods.

thank you -it looks like a range of between 4-5 hours. That's very helpful Flowers

IB parent wanders in...
5 hours each week for the 3 Higher subjects plus 3 hours each for the 3 Standard subjects, plus 2 hours for ToK. Shock

Good luck for the exams! Just a few more weeks and it will all be over.
I think DS finished last year around the 23rd. His last exam was HL chemistry.
