Only one that really mattered was Calc BC. I got a 5 on that and the Calc AB subscore, so that allowed me to get right into math 32A. If you didn’t get that, then I think you’ll have to take a placement exam that can place you up to either 31A or 31B, not entirely sure which one. Chem 20A is quantum mechanics, which I’ve heard isn’t too related to AP Chem. 20B is ideal gases, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acid/base, etc. which is more in line with AP Chem. Also, I think you need to have completed 31B in order to take the physics 1 series. I think 31B is a pre/co-requisite for the chem 20 series too.

Don’t know how AP Chem or AP Physics factors into that, but I know for sure AP Physics B will do you no good.
