The semester is a long, grueling campaign. This is your survival guide to make it through to victory.

Week 1: The Recon Mission. Get the syllabus. Map out every test, quiz, and major assignment. No surprises.

Daily Routine: The 30-Minute Rule. Spend at least 30 minutes on algebra EVERY single day, even if nothing is due. Momentum is everything.

The Buddy System: Find at least one reliable person in your class to compare notes with. You are not alone in this.

Office Hours: Go to your teacher's office hours at least once before the first test, even if you don't have a question. Introduce yourself.

The 'Red Zone': The two weeks before a major exam. This is when you intensify your practice and review.

Avoid the 'Zero'. Never, ever skip a homework assignment. A zero is a hole you can't dig out of. Turn in *something*.

Mental Health: When you feel overwhelmed, take a break. Go for a walk. Your brain needs rest to learn.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. The key to survival is not genius; it's consistency.

You have the guide. You have the strategy. Now, go execute the mission.
