Hello!
I am from India and I want transfer in any US university next year. For that I think I need to give SAT and TOEFL but as I want transfer I also need to perform excellent in the college to which I'm going to take admission now. It's nearly 15-30 days left for my admission and so I want to prepare myself for the coming difficulties in the first semester. So I want to know which portion of Mathematics and Physics I should study thoroughly now so that I can ease up my study when I enter college. And if You can give any other information which going to help me in my transfer to US universities, I will be very thankful to you.

Note: I only have 15-30 days to study, so don't just say like Calculus or Mechanics. I want to know specific portions.

Branch I am going to take is either Computer Science or Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Thanks in Advance.

Given the limited time period, I would recommend focusing on the fundamental topics that are common to both computer science and electronics and communication engineering. This would include topics such as algebra, trigonometry, basic calculus, linear systems, probability and statistics, and basic physics topics including Newton's Laws of Motion, electric fields, and electrical circuits. These topics will form the foundation for more advanced topics that you will learn in college. Additionally, it would be helpful to review general study strategies that can help you succeed in college, such as active reading, note-taking, and test preparation techniques. Best of luck with your studies!
