" because for some reason bc my high school doesn’t let people take AP Chem before taking CP Chem," The reason would be because AP chem is one of the hardest APs and they don’t want their students to flounder.

Most high schools seem to require a year prior to AP–it’s not unusual. The problem arises in high schools which only run 6 classes–they seem to be more likely to allow students to jump straight into AP because it becomes harder to fit in all the prerequisites. But taking only 6 classes also means that their students also are getting more instructional time, or else more study time, and have fewer other classes to study for, so they can be expected to work a little harder.
