I have not been on the board now for the past month much as our Dad has been ill, so I have not read all about the World Geography times yet. I will say we have done the WG plans for 4 days now, and Wyatt is not taking 7 hours, maybe more like 6 to 6 1/2. He is also doing the Living Library and the science lab. He is doing Foerster's Algebra 1 and the complete English with Boy Set package. He is a quick reader and succinct writer, he has done all parts of every one of HOD's previous guides, and he is also a no frills guy when it comes to discussions.

Having a student that loves lengthy discussions, having a more contemplative slower paced reader/writer, or having a student that did not do HOD's previous guides (or did not do all of HOD's assigned work within guides) all could make the day longer, I believe. Here is our current schedule...
I guess maybe that's around 6 to 6 1/2 hours or so? I haven't timed it exactly. Maybe it'll get longer if science labs are longer later? Anyway, before I do a bunch of advising for your ds about making RevtoRev or MTMM work - did you get a chance to look over the WG placement chart and plans? Does it seem like he is ready for all of that? If so, I'd just have him do the WG plans.
I've been meaning to post the
approximate time allotments for the WG guide. Here they are...
World Geography box: 35-45 min.
Living Library: 20-25 min.
Geography Activity: 20-25 min.
World Religions and Cultures: 20-25 min.
Foreign Language: 25-30 min. (with audio online practice included)
Logic: 20-25 min. (longer on discussion days)
R & S English/Essentials in Writing/Dictation: 30 min.
BJU Lit/Boy Set: 40-45 min.
Math: 60 min.
Bible Study: 40-50 min. (plus the devotional once weekly in addition to this as part of the Bible credit)
Science with Lab: 40-60 min.
I guess that is 7 hours (if you look at the longer times to allow for longer assignments), which means with everything for receiving credits, about 6 to 6 1/2 hours would be the shorter version for completing all work each day. We just loved the books and didn't want to miss them!
In Christ,
