Transition from High school to University

Hello /sci/

I am about to transition from high school to university and would like some reading that would help me prepare for a first year engineering or general sciences course.

Preferably chemistry or physics since I am missing a few courses in those subjects but they will let me squeak by because of my marks.

Any suggestions welcome, just not SICP.
(If you were going to suggest that get back to /prog/)

Fine, the Putnam's not required.  I'm not talking about the math half of the GRE general exam.  I'm referring to the math specific GRE subject test.

Now that I look at it, most of the questions are actually pretty easy/doable.  #40, however, requires at least some ring theory, which we did not cover.  #49 looks doable, but I'm too lazy to try.
