Overwhelmed with work? No time to study? This is the busy student's high-efficiency guide to acing algebra.

Rule #1: Never Miss a Class. One hour in class is worth three hours of catching up alone. It's the best ROI for your time.

Rule #2: Do Homework on the Same Day. The concepts are fresh in your mind. It will take half the time.

Rule #3: Focus on Your Weaknesses. Spend 80% of your precious study time on the topics that confuse you most.

Rule #4: Use 'Dead Time' Wisely. Use flashcard or practice apps on your phone while waiting in line or on the bus.

Rule #5: Form a Hyper-Efficient Study Group. Meet for one hour. Each person teaches one concept. No small talk. Then leave.

The Mindset: This is about strategy, not just brute force. You must work smarter, not just harder.

The Test Strategy: Do a 'brain dump' of formulas at the start, then solve the easiest problems first to build unstoppable momentum.

You might not have time for 'deep understanding' on every single topic, but you can achieve tactical mastery and a top grade.

You don't need more hours in the day. You need a lethal strategy for the hours you have. Now you have one.
