laurz Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 How do the schedules in your school look? Do you have all your subjects in the same term/period? How many courses do you have per day? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprout_1147 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 yes, we have the same schedule throughout the year (but now that TOK is over, we have more free periods )it is a 8 day cycle, so we have different schedules every monday, tuesday, etc. and... the lessons last 1 hour each and we have almost all subjects every day. (about 4 lessons/5 days) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I had 6 lessons a day and each were 50 minutes. 4 CAS periods which were 'do nothing and enjoy it' time. I can't remember the exact schedule and I'm glad I don't 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I had four classes a day, each being 90 minutes long. There was a short break between the third and fourth class of the day. I took a total of 8 classes, 4 being on one day (A Day) and the other four being on the other day (B Day), and they would alternate A, B, A, B, A, etc. Most of my classes were all year long, with the exception of TOK that was split into two semester classes (half a year class) that you took the first one in IB1, and the second in IB2.It sucked. Uni schedules are way better. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 We used to have 10 lesson slots a day, each one 40 minutes, with a 15 minute break in the morning and a 15 minute break in the afternoon. Except for Thursday when we had 3 lessons in one morning and started 40 minutes earlier, so 11 slots. Almost all the IB lessons were double lessons, so an hour and 20 minutes.As the IB = the reject timetable, we had to slot in with the A Level timetable so we had lots of lunchtime lessons or lessons that ran either side of a breaktime and therefore consumed the break. One year I definitely had a day every week where I started at 8:40 and didn't have a break until 13:20, which I hated. If you had a 'complete' lunch hour then it was equivalent to two lesson slots, but I'd say 4 days out of 5 I had a 40 minute lunch.Anyway we did all subjects plus TOK for both years every single week. The timetable repeated every 5 days so basically every week had the same Monday to Friday, although it did change between IB1 and IB2. It was tedious, and we didn't have any CAS time scheduled in school....quite long ago now! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sameera95 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 6 lessons a day, 50 minutes each. in year 12 we had 4 CAS periods (well two 50 minute sessions twice a week) and double tok, this year we have 5 CAS periods and a single tok, which will be over after our essays are handed in (deadline next Friday woop! ). We have a 1 week timetable so our lessons are always the same each week. In year 12 we had 2 lessons, form time or assembly, break, 2 lessons, lunch and then the last 2 lessons. This year we have 2 lessons, break, form time or assembly, 1 lesson, lunch, and then 3 lessons. Our school schedules lunch and break times for year 12 and 13 separately because there's way too many of us (total = 500+ IB students) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie1120 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 My school is on a new (and ridiculous) AB8 schedule. This means that we go to four classes on A days (Tuesdays and Thusdays) and go to the other four on B days (Wednesdays and Fridays) each class is 90 minutes on these days except for third period which is about 30 to 40 minutes longer for lunches. On Mondays we go to all 8 classes for 45 minutes each and an hour lunch period in between the first four and the second four. The worst part is on 8 days they alternate so you go to A1 then B1 then A2 and so forth. My classes are as followed:A1-IB History 2B1-Human Experience HonorsA2-IB English 2B2-IB Theater 2A3-IB Geography (the worst and most useless class I have ever taken besides Freshman Seminar)B3-IB TOK 2 (Mondays are workdays so for 45 minutes you get to do any forgotten homework...or sleep)A4-AP StatisticsB4-IB Spanish Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemondrops57 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 My school has seven classes a day for about 50 minutes each except for on Wednesdays when school is an hour later to accommodate teacher meetings, so classes are 30 minutes with an advisory period which is basically a study hall. We have TOK as a zero hour class that starts an hour before school three days a week. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia. Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 My schedule is way to complicated to describe here, but I basically go from 8 to 5 everyday except for Thursday, when I end 15:20 (yay!). In Sweden, we don't really have "blocks", so my classes vary from almost three hours (double Spanish) to 40 minutes. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacescampi Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) ... This is how my schedule looks like. Feeling okay about it though! I am 90% sure that it will remain the same for the rest of IBDP, and I think we have TOK for two years, since it's only 2 hours per week. If you wondered: Breaks are between each period, but 10 minutes break after every two periods (if that made sense, hahah). Lunch is 50 minutes long, between 4th and 5th period, and I ain't complaining! (24-hour clock for the win!)

Babydolleyes Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I only have three timetables out of my six semesters as an example but it should give you some idea of what it's like in Iceland (lol, it's not really relevant for anybody, but it's an interesting difference to other IB schools). I had a few more classes in Pre-IB compared to actual IB but I can't find any timetable from back then, and I had 3 classes less than everyone else in my grade because I had Economics online. We always got a new timetable every semester (new one in August which lasted to December, and then a new one in January which lasts til May).Timetable 2012 - Second semester of IBThird semester of IBLast semester of IBMost of the classes were pointless, we had to self study almost everything.
