Does your child study everything equally and still miss questions on the most important topics?

The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) says 80% of exam marks come from 20% of the syllabus. Abacus teaches strategic focus.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to identify and master high‑yield topics.

🧩 Why the 80/20 Rule Works

Not all topics are equal. Some appear on every exam; others rarely appear. Focus on high‑yield topics first. This maximizes marks per hour of study.

🎯 How to Apply 80/20 to Exam Prep

Review past papers: Which topics appear most often? List the top 20% of topics. Focus 80% of study time: Master those first. For abacus: Master complements, number bonds, and mental math — they enable everything else. Use Pareto for revision: In the last week before exams, only review the high‑yield topics.

💡 A Parent’s Strategy

“My son used to study every chapter equally. We analysed past papers and found that 5 chapters out of 25 produced 75% of questions. He focused on those and raised his score from 70% to 88%.”

You might wonder, “What about the other topics?” Study them after mastering the high‑yield ones.
