I feel the biggest problem first years have is that they tend to memorize surface information rather than trying to get a strong grasp of the underlying concepts. Always ask yourself why a formula is structured like that or what details does it show you and how is that relevant? Stuff like this.
Also, be structured and organized. Plan ahead. Don't let failure drag you down. Use your mistakes as learning experiences.
