i think you shouldn't aim for a target time -- effective, smart studying is more important than just working until your quota is done

preparation is different for some people depending on how talented you are, setting yourself to do x amount of hours every school day only creates stress.

Realistically it'd be best to start in middle school where you have infinite time, but you would need a lot of practice to be able to make it.

nah just put in whatever free time you have. Whenever you aren't at school, eating, or sleeping, you should be studying math. Do as much homework as you can in class or during lunch at school, or on the bus/car to/from school, in order to maximize the amount of uninterupted time you have for studying.

I don't think MathDash helps a friend of mines went from getting a 48 on AMC 10 All the way to 132 on AMC 12 because of watching YouTube videos specifically Sohil rathi.

That doesn't mean MathDash doesn't help. That only means that youtube videos made by Sohil Rathi might help you.

Does MathDash lessons like the mini ones help you because I am rated like 1500+ in all of them I am pretty sure.
