Go to class.
Read the books.
Do the assignments, including pre-lab and lab writeup for lab courses.
Start term projects early.

Yes, the above seems simple, but a lot of students procrastinate and end up cramming for the final exam.

Be aware that a lot of typically year-long AP courses cover only about a semester’s worth of college course material. So the actual speed of covering new material in a college course is likely to be faster than what you are used to.

Also be aware that courses with labs and term projects can be significantly more work than other courses.
