I feel like having a strong basis in Chemistry is always good. I could be wrong, but I doubt the Chem class you took in high school covers anywhere near the amount of information covered in college chemistry. People in my college chemistry class said that we covered more material in 1 lecture than they did in weeks of high school chemistry.
With that being said, I would probably skip it just because that’s how I am lol. If you’re worried that you might need it later on down the road then take it, it’s only 1 semester.
