Prep work for Physics 1st year

I'm starting my degree in just over 3.5months and I'm looking for some recommendations of what to study now. I'm either looking for a book recommendation or just a direction to study in. Thanks

I've done a level maths and physics, but not further maths.

I was anxious before I started my degree a few years ago about the maths content and also about how the economics would be taught. I found out which were the set books for the first-semester modules and bought them (not cheap!). Although I wasn't as thorough as I hoped to be, I did some good prep and felt better for it.
I wonder too whether reading a good general physics book that focuses on concepts and connections might help you open your mind beyond A-level content. You might do both. I've been reading and enjoying 'Heligoland' by Carlo Rovelli.
All the best for your upcoming degree, you've chosen a great subject.
