Hi guys,

According to my search, this topic hasn't bee mentioned since 2010.

My understating is that we have 8 blocks (1 hr each) + tutorial (15 mins) + break time (45 mins). Am I right?

Assuming that we skip the tutorial and therefore we have 1 hour break time, how would you recommend using it?

I was thinking: 5 minutes after the 2nd block, 5 minutes after 3rd block, 5 minutes after 4th block, 20 minutes after 5th block (lunch), 10 minutes after 6th block, 10 minutes after 7th block.

5 minutes to spare in case there are delays checking in.

What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'd say just play it by ear. For step 1 I did 2 sections back to back, took a 5 minute bathroom break, then took 3 straight sections. Then went on a 30-40 minute lunch break. Came back and did the last 2 sections back to back.

I'm going to aim on getting at least 5 sections done before I take a lunch break, but if im struggling after 4, ill take it then.
