Assignments make excellent revision tools
Often, the level of understanding required for a topic is similar for assignments and exams. Once assignments are returned, always go over the answers, and go through them again with tutors/peers.
Tutorials allow you to actively engage with the content. If you miss a tute for whatever reason, see if you can attend a different session during the week. The smaller learning environment is a great time to ask questions.

Prepare for exams early on in the semester
Apply different exam strategies at different stages of the semester. Throughout the semester: take notes, make summaries, find answers to questions you have. At the end of the semester: ideally, you should just be revising your notes and completing past papers (if any).
Most importantly: seek help when you need it
From your peers, academic staff, library help desk, Academic Skills, and more Actively look for the resources that you need. If you search for it, there will always be someone willing to help you with whatever you need. If you need to ask something, ask. If you need help with anything, seek help. The first year of your undergrad degree: the year of learning how to learn! It's important to figure out your study habits - what learning technique works best for you? How will you study each subject? How will you balance studying with socialising and other activities?
