If you are expected to be at 90% , 435 minutes will do it. It is possible to do it if you do some indiv tx in am, for instance, and some concurrent with some in the afternoon on certain days. On the other days concur some of the others or designate those appropriate for a group session. The extra time may help gain some "quiet" time for some uninterrupted notes... Not easy though...
