I firstly apologise if this question is off the topic.
I am a first year undergraduate student and the required textbook for the course Advanced Physics is Fundemental of physics by Halliday. This textbook is huge and to be honest I was scared when I saw the size of the textbook. There are too much text to read and there are many exercises at the end of each chapter and I do not think that I would have time to do every single problem at the end of each chapter.
So with this information, what is the effective way of studying physics? what to read and what not to read? what exercises should I do? should I try to do all exercises? any other advice that I should do to be successful in physics is also appreciated.
If you need also some information about my background: I am a first year combined bachelor of electrical engineering and bachelor of mathematics and I have good knowledge of math but did not do any physics in highschool.
