Self Study AP Physics C without a physics background?

Hey I’m a junior and I recently found out that it is impossible (with the schedule I currently have) to take ap physics at my school. I was wondering how hard it would be to do a self study in ap physics. I plan on reading a textbook, doing the problems, and then working through a review book in order to prepare for the ap exam. I’ll start in about a week.

I’m relatively strong in mathematics (did well in calculus). However, I have no background in physics (never took a course). I self studied before for microeconomics and got a 5, although I heard that was a really easy test and physics is much harder. So, do you guys think it is reasonable for me to go ahead with a physics C mechanics self study? Also, should I consider Physics C E/M? what about just taking physics B?
