Students often ask whether to focus on algebra or geometry first. The short answer: it depends on your goals and gaps.
If Your Goal Is the ACT or SAT
Both tests mix algebra and geometry. A solid algebra base (equations, functions, word problems) usually helps more before diving deep into proofs and shapes.
If You're Building From Scratch
Start with arithmetic and pre-algebra, then algebra, then geometry. Many geometry problems use algebra, so order matters.
Use Quizzes to Find Gaps
Taking topic-based quizzes helps you see which area needs more work. Focus your study time there first.
