Appears easy enough? Well, yes, from a first impression. But there’s a fraction sum and there’s a fraction sum. Don’t settle for learning the basics, but study the trickier sums in all their glory. You might not get them. You might just get them! It’s very important to be prepared for the level of a 10th-11th grades, for instance.
There are websites for math materials based on school grades; give them a thorough look and pay attention to any examination material you can get your hands on. What’s important is getting material from the university’s country’s websites, not your own. Even the basic things can be harder.
