Simplest option is a "teardrop turn" at the end of the "old" downwind & reposition. Which is fine if traffic permits, it's a straight reversal & you know where you are. But for a first/second solo stude, "never done that before" it could be a major issue. Making a level turn at 1000ft at the place they are used to pulling the revs down to the regulation 1500 & two stage of flaps, completely alien. The other thing I never liked was "Turn left at the building with the red doors, Left a bit round the Police station mast, Turn final just before the Golf clubhouse".
One day I'm gonna paint them doors blue & really bugger up the circuit.
