K.A Stroud Engineering Maths book
I brought the 7th edition of the K.A Stroud Engineering Maths book to see if I could cope with the maths if I studied a Engineering degree.
The book's content seems fairly simple.
Is this the type of Maths I will be expecting in my first year? and is there any other books I should be looking at?
I'm looking to study Mechanical / Civil Engineering.

Our first year also descended to the much more sinister ground of Advanced Engineering Mathematics by the same Author. But in Civils, the first book will be about the level of the course.
I think you also need to remember that unlike maths up to A levels, you're not spoon fed simple, step by step questions in exams. That's possibly the biggest shock.

That book is amazing. It starts right from the basics step by step. Learn and understand the relevent chapters and you'll ace the exams no problem. I didn't find the advanced one so useful, it didn't cover all the 2nd year stuff...lecture notes became more important then.
Am I better off getting the advance engineering maths than the one I got?
I already spent £32 on the engineering maths book

The one you've got will probably cover most of the topics taught in first year maths courses for engineering. I have the advanced book too, but i only used it in second year, and only for reference rather than doing the sections.
Omg I love this book too. It really has the best spot in my bookshelf. 
Nice choice!
Nice choice!Do you guys use the CD that comes with it?
I haven't used it.

Can someone recommend me a book to buy pre-first year electrical engineering?
YUP!

I use this one:

and i've heard its the slightly advanced version of Stroud. I'd reccommend looking at it in a library before buying it. However, for your first year Stroud will be more than sufficient!

The OP mentions the 7th edition K.A Stroud but I can only find the 6th (and no mention of the 7th). Are these the same book?
Yes. There'll be minor differences but not really noticeable. I've used a 3rd edition at the library and apart from the old smell there wasn't much different.

The 6th edition wasnt really good. I didnt really like it how most of the contents of the material was on the cd.
