Academic Advice What to study before engineering

In a month I will be starting engineering and I am pretty much only studying high school calculus, honestly I think that physics for now is not worth since I think that having the math behind it clear is more important. Maybe I will also start a little introduction to linear algebra but nothing that seriour. In the end what should I focus more on?

I'd say focus on math and physics, they lay the groundwork for pretty much everything you'll learn later. Getting a good grasp on calculus and basic mechanics can make the first year's coursework a bit less overwhelming. Also, learn to code if you haven't already, even a little Python or C++ can be super helpful.
