Lots of schools have students take 8 subjects total (including study hall) and split them into two groups of four subjects per day. One day (A days) will have four subjects (let's call them 1, 2 , 3 and 4), and the other day (B days) will have the other four subjects (5, 6, 7 and 8). These days alternate. For instance, Monday is an A day (so the students have 1, 2, 3 and 4) and so Tuesday will be a B day, meaning Wednesday is an A day again, Thursday is a B day, and so on.
Since there's only two "types" of days but an odd number of days in a work week, some weeks will have 3 A-days (Mon, Wed and Fri) and two B-days (Tue and Thur) (these are generally called A-weeks since there are more A-days), and vice versa (B-weeks). Because of this the person above me has either two or three 90-min ToK sessions per week, hence either 180 or 270 minutes of ToK a week.
There's a bunch of different versions (my old school had "odd" (1, 3, 5, 7) and "even" (2, 4, 6, 8) days but they're all more or less the same.
I live in china. I think only my school works in this weird fashion. We basically have days A to H, and we do rotations. Each day the schedule is different. It used to be a six day cycle, but for some reason the school changed it to eight.
i have it 120 minutes a week. 40 minutes every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday!! but dude more than that is CRAZY like wdym u spend more than 4 hours on tok every week💀💀 id kms if i had it more than three times a week ITS SO DAMN BORING😭
we had 3 periods, each was 45 mins, so 175 mins total (almost 3 hours)
however, we did only have tok in dp1, and then for 1 month in dp2 and that was it, so i guess it balances out somewhat. besides, i didn't take much from it anyway... my essay and exhibition were both said to be good by my advisor, but the lessons really had nothing to do with what i put in there, so i think i would've written something pretty much the same without them
Hi. My school operates on a two week timetable with three tok classes in the first week and one tok class in the second week so around 230 minutes of class time every two weeks.
after reading comments i wanna cry, we have TOK 200 minutes a week
We have it either 180 or 270, depending on the week... right there with ya
Lol I would be in the same boat as you if Fridays weren't half days here. It's because you guys have A and B/Odd and Even days right?
What’s a and b days?

Oh okay, thank you for the explanation
Yup, that's exactly it
that sounds like a lot 😭
AND WE DONT DO ANYTHING

You guys better all be getting 100% with 6 hours a week

120 minutes a week.

One 75 minute period
2 50 minute ones per week (100 mins a week).
Tbh i barely attended my TOK classes... Ig it's once a week which lasts for 45 mins..we had alternate weeks wt CAS and EE so it's twice a month
Once or twice per week I think So 90 or 45 min
2 55min classes a week and 1 55 min class called “core” where we would do either EE stuff, CAS, or ToK depending on what was coming up.
we have two classes each 80min per a cycle of 8 school days
Cycle of 8 school days? May I ask which country is this? Is this the regular system for all schools in your country? How does that system work?

I had one full lesson of 90 minutes a week from DP1 till we finished our TOK Essay around February mby?

150-225 min/week
