Which best revises sentence 3 to make it more precise? I had so many grand plans in my head for the money I would soon be making, and I hurried to get ready as quickly as I could. With visions of trendy clothes and piles of spending money dancing pirouettes in my brain, I took a shower and got dressed in record time. As I rushed to shower and be ready on time, I thought about all the different things I could do with the money I would soon be making. Because I was so nervous, I could not stop thinking about my new job even as I rushed to shower and get ready faster than I ever had.

The best way to revise sentence 3 to make it more precise would be the following one:

As I rushed to shower in order to be ready on time, I thought about all the different things I could do with the money I would soon be making.

The connective "and", which expresses addition, had to be replaced with "in order to", which is also a connective and expresses purpose.
