I'm doing a one year career changer postbac and will be starting Orgo I, Bio I, and Physics I in a few weeks. I "pre-gamed" for Gen Chem, at the recommendation of some med student friends, by memorizing the common polyatomic ions, acids/bases, and SI prefixes. It saved me some time and stress during the course and, importantly to me, didn't require actually teaching myself concepts or potentially learning things in a way that would be at odds with my professor's approach.
Any suggestions for similar things to study that would be helpful to get out of the way prior to starting orgo, bio, and physics? I've heard some people suggest memorizing the functional groups in advance but it seems like they'll be easier to pick up in context in class than learning by rote.
