At my University (I am studying English filology) my teachers have "duty hours" so hours when students can come and ask any questions thay want or retake their exams. I know that this expression "duty hours" is correct because they are using it. But I wonder what preposition shuld I use. "Is it possible to retake my test on your duty hours" or "Is it possible to retake my test at your duty hours"
