Answer 1

Carrying a sketchbook around is the key as the others suggested. 'Working on your art' doesn't have to mean long hours spent. In fact, give yourself a limited task like one two minute drawing per day to start with. Even such a small amount of time spent drawing will keep you improving. The key is to train yourself to switch into 'seeing' mode on a regular basis. When you draw, don't be focused on results but on the act itself. It isn't easy finding the time, believe me I know, Good Luck and don't be too hard on yourself.

Answer 2

I agree with Answerer 1. Also, you could carry around a sketch pad and when you get (a) break/s throughout the day, work on your art then. Is there anything you could give up for the time being to make more time for your art? You know better than anyone else. Good luck on your SAT.

Answer 3

you are an inspiration all by your self. very motivated. now YOU look at that schedule and decide if there's anything you can give up. if there is, give it up. otherwise, you'll just have to find out of you're inspired by your art enough to fit it in anyway.....there is one thing tho, you could get up at 6am and eat a bowl of cereal or something and practice before you go to work. save money and time.
