In my experience the SLC (disclaimer: my experience with the SLC is very limited) has a pretty skewed impression of what classes are actually like.

Chem 1A is not designed to be super hard. If you haven’t had any chemistry before, or don’t feel confident in your preparation, a good thing to do would be to Amazon and buy a copy of Schaum’s beginning chemistry and read a few chapters out of that (maybe spend a couple hours a day for a few days) to familiarize yourself with what the general topics in chemistry are. That is all the preparation you need to take Chem 1A or 4A.
