Honestly, knowing unit conversions is probably your best bet before going in there but you'll learn it there anyway. It was a lot like cooking with chemicals in those labs. And a couple calculations.
Yea, calculations are important. I do them beforehand or have the formula done before hand so when I'm in the lab I just plug in the numbers from measurements. I tend to have very rushed labs XD.
You'll need grams/mol type info for calculations. You should look them up if you don't expect the TAs to provide them.
