Take CHEM-3A (again??) or 3B?

I’m taking a summer course at SJSU called Chem-112A. There’s no lab component, but I’m pretty sure I’m gonna finish with an A or B… I’m registered for CHEM-3A and 3AL in the fall. I emailed the Chemistry department at Berkeley and they said my course is equivalent to 3A (but not 3AL).

Should I register for CHEM-3B and 3AL instead? I’m just worried that a summer course isn’t good enough to prepare me for the second part of the series. My counselor recommended that I complete the whole thing at Berkeley so that no material is lost or overlapped… but then again, it might be a waste of time and units. What do you guys think? Keep 3A for the fall or just go for 3B?
