College Algebra is a gatekeeper course. It decides who moves on. Here is how you ensure you are one of them.

First, accept reality: This course moves twice as fast as high school algebra. You cannot fall behind.

The secret weapon is not intelligence; it's time management. You MUST schedule your study time like it's a job.

Go to every single class. Go to every review session. Go to your professor's office hours. No excuses.

Form a study group on day one. Explaining concepts to others is the most powerful way to learn.

Your real learning doesn't happen in the lecture. It happens when you are alone, struggling with the homework.

Treat the homework as a sacred duty. It is your training, your practice, your path to victory.

Before each test, do every single problem from the chapter review. Twice.

The #1 reason students fail is because they treat it like a high school class. It is a new league.

This isn't about being a genius. It's about being a grinder. Outwork everyone, and you will not just pass; you will succeed.
