This depends a lot on the class. Early on, you’ll have a lot of classes with a problem set every week or every other week, 2-3 tests during term, and the final. Later on, you’ll have more project-based classes, depending on your major. (If you’re in a humanities course, you can expect more essays.) There’s a lot of variance. Getting an A is probably going to be much more difficult than it was at your high school, though B’s and C’s are pretty reasonable to get.
Pretty difficult. Most departments don’t offer them. If you have credit for a similar course at a university, though, you may be able to transfer them.
Varies a lot by class. I know people who don’t attend lecture at all unless it’s one of the classes that require attendance. Skipping class is pretty common. In bigger classes, no one will notice.
By working through problem sets.
