I done about 3 hours of dual circuits before going solo at 11 hrs, you then need to complete 3 hours of solo circuits, which due to weather and work commitments has taken a total of 5 hrs flying and 3 months to complete.
I finished my circuits last Friday and next exercise will be steep turns, followed by practice forced landings, precautionary landings and a few bits before moving on to navigation.
I must say I cant wait to leave the circuit and climb above 1000', it seems like an age since I done anything but fly around in circles (or rectangles)!
