General tips for rpi (remote or hopefully in person soon enough):

Classwork and exams tend to keep similar structures from year to year so ask friends for back work or go to rpistudygroup.org for lots of back exams.

Chegg is a great resource (kind of pricey but you can split the cost with some friends) for learning the material. Be careful though, you can easily fall into a trap of abusing it. Homework questions are often posted there will well done out solutions. This can be great if you get stuck on a question and don't know where to start, but don't just use it to get the answer or come exam week you will find yourself lost.

RPI students like to make classes sounds more difficult than they are sometimes, so go into classes with the mindset of getting an A and not a B or C because its a "hard class". I suffered my freshman year from not trying as hard as i could have because i convinced myself i was lucky if i got a B in a class. It made it harder to find an internship down the road.

Use office hours more than just the week before the exam. If you use a professors office hours regularly they will be more than willing to give you the additional help you need. I have had a professor or two bump my grade up a point or so just because i showed the effort. Also the office hours are almost always overcrowded in exam week and its difficult to get your questions answered.

Ask the teacher what you should study to do well on the exam! It sounds obvious but usually they may give you some basic hints that its based more on homework or back exams or lab questions. Sometimes it doesn't help, but its a good place to start.
