My school day works like so:
8:45-9:00 = Registration
9:00-9:55 = Lesson 1
9:55-10:55 = Lesson 2
10:55-11:15 = Break
11:15-12:15 = Lesson 3
12:15-1:10 = Lunch
1:10-1:25 = Registration
1:25-2:25 = Lesson 4
2:25-3:25 = Lesson 5
The strange thing about this is that the first lesson is 5 minutes shorter than the others. Never quite understood that!

Ditto that for me. Had my first lesson today and what do I find out - there will be a 45 minute MULTIPLE CHOICE MATHS section. Which for almost everyone in the set is ridiculous. I'll admit the current affairs section may be useful to some people in my class (who are shockingly ignorant outside their own 'bubble' of expertise) but will be completely useless to me. It IS just a cheap way to boost exam results for the school, although they won't admit it. It's just a pointless waste of an hour a week for me - I'm fairly sure I could pass the exam already.

Well goodness knows what the exam will be like, we didn't really get it explained. We're doing it with OCR though.
