I took AP Chem this year without taking a regular high school chemistry course, and it was considerably hard for me but I still managed to do better than a lot of other people. However, I didn’t have confidence in what I learned because it didn’t feel natural to me, as biology did. The fact that my teacher wasn’t really good also didn’t help.

If you took a high school chem course and did exceptionally well in it, you could probably do well in AP Chem. If you didn’t have the class (or didn’t do so well), and if you are dependent on teachers rather than a lot of self-studying, the class will be a hit or miss for you, depending on your teacher.

With a lot of self-study, a reasonable teacher, and motivation, this class could go well for you. IT IS NOT easy material, but it is attainable.
