The AP exams tend not to be the course that the colleges look at in terms of any consideration during admissions, but the subject tests. Both the Chem and Physics subject tests are among those the top-tier colleges will want to see, but then that is if you are, as @suzyQ7 said, going in to something like engineering. That being said, you will have to check and see if the Honors Chem course you took is requisite preparation for taking the Chem Subject Test. Same with Physics for determining preparation for the exam. From there you can make an informed choice about protecting your GPA, your sanity, and your confidence going forward.
