In addition to studying hard once in them, would it be worthwhile to self study in preparation for the pre-reqs? Or does that seem like a waste of time?

Generally a waste of time, unless you have NO background in any of the subjects from high school.

Naww I found it useful especially in the tougher classes. What's the course?

In my experience, it hasn't been that helpful. Bio material differed significantly when my prof started lecturing, and precalc problem sets were easier than the chapter I did (and then there's the matter of recalling material for the first test). I'd just enjoy the break before you're slammed with homework and tests.

If nothing else, I'd read introductory chapters or slides to get a feel for the class. Know syllabi very well and if your school offers them, take assignment schedules to heart so you can plan stuff and be aware of a 3-4 exam week. But that's just me.

Waste of time. Do something else more productive. That's time you could've spent doing just about anything else to improve your CV.

I'll be taking general chemistry in the spring. I just graduated in May, but I haven't had a chemistry course in a while. So I thought it might be beneficial to study up on some of the concepts before hand.

I recommend memorizing the common acids, bases and poly atomic ions. Also SI unit would be helpful

If you tested out of the chem pre requisite class that you need before general chem 1 and 2 then you'll be fine
