The new stuff! If by any way possible, get your hands on the A/C OPS Manual and start reading as soon as possible, preferrably at least 3 week before the start. On your own, relaxed schedule.

The ground school will seem like CBT for dummies for the first week, you'll be burning midnight oil sitting back home being just excited. However, the schedule is very tight, on the third week you'll get headache just from thinking about sitting in front of computer with headsets on. The stuff is fairly easy to comprehend, but the amounts just squeeze your brains out. Ironically, then comes the time when you need to start preparing for SIM.

The pre-study won't give you any head start or advantage over other students but simply time to reacharge as the groundschool progresses. Surely you will benefit from that when the SOPs and flow patterns start rolling in.
