I took AP Chem in senior year, two years after I took the Regents version as a sophomore, so I can’t say I remembered a lot of the material. If you’ve already been exposed to chemistry, then AP is nothing more than building upon the foundation. You will learn more, the problems will be harder, and you will have to think. The basic topics in no order are: atomic and molecular structure, kinetics, equilibrium, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry (very basic), states of matter, thermokinetics, and electrochemistry/redox. Of course, contained within these broad topics are more specific things such as acids/bases, lewis diagrams, bonding,… and most topics cover multiple areas. Hope that helps.
