How hard will Physics C be? (5 on Physics B)

I absolutely hated AP Physics B, and thought I was going to fail the exam (but this could be attributed to a terrible teacher that ended up getting fired). I honestly just BSed the whole exam and did not know what I was doing. At all. Lol, but somehow, I managed to pull off a 5, so I guess I’m not as bad at it as I thought. I was thinking about taking AP Physics C next year, since I heard it was a useful class and could earn me college credit (supposedly, colleges don’t give credit to Physics B?). I’m not sure I necessary want to since its supposed to be a hard class with a heavy work load and I’ll be a senior next year, but many people said that it is very calculus heavy, and since I’ll be taking Calc BC next year, it might be a good idea to take them together. (my alternative would be AP prob/stat) I’m generally pretty good at math and science though, so considering my circumstances, would it be a good idea to take Physics C? How hard did you think the class was?
