STEM: Get as much help as possible
Problem sets are a fixture of college STEM classes. Every week or two weeks, you will be expected to complete a number of problems corresponding to course material. If you attend class regularly and are lucky, you may find yourself completing these problem sets quickly. If you miss classes or simply have a tough professor, you will encounter more difficulty. A single problem may then take days to work out.
In the latter case, you should not feel obligated to suffer through problems on your own. Rather, put your ego to the side and get help. In college, your time is limited due to other courses, extracurriculars and social life. It would simply be a waste of time to not take the quickest (but still honest!) route to completing assignments. Use your professor, teaching assistants and classmates all as resources, to get tips or delegate problems. In this way, the level of difficulty of your assignments. will drop dramatically.

Humanities: Read efficiently
US college courses require lots of reading every week, which correspond to exam and essay questions. For example, a typical undergraduate-level humanities or social science weekly assignment might look something like this:
Session 4, 2/3/16: Gender and Sexuality: Theoretical Approaches
● Hill Collins, P. (2008). Black Feminist Epistemology. In Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment, pp. 251-271.
● Jagose, A. (1997). Queer. In Queer Theory: An Introduction, 72-100.
● Anzaldúa, G. (2009). To(o) Queer the Writer: Loca, Escritora, y Chicana. In The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader, 163-175.
And, though these particular readings sum up to less than 100 pages, they are all academic, dense and use very specific vocabulary.
Unfortunately, there is no fast track to reading efficiently. You must simply read a lot. And expose yourself to different genres. Once you feel comfortable reading everything from classical literature to academic articles to biographies, you will find exams and assignments quite easy, because you will have expanded your vocabulary and grasped patterns in writing styles. This is to say, you may initially find readings difficult, especially if you are unaccustomed to such high volume; if you push through these challenges, you will later find success.
