Why is BC calc so hard for me?

I am currently a sophomore in high school and have been struggling in my calc class… Math has always been my best subject, the class that I never worried heavily about. I first got into the AIME in 7th grade and have never gotten anything lower than a A in a math class. However, this year, I dont understand why I am struggling in Calc. Last year, my pre-calculus class was ridiculously easy because I had learned all of it myself (tried to skip, but got a 86 on the final when the cutoff was 90). Because of this, I literally wasted a year doing nothing. Now, I have a B+ in my class and I really need some help or advise…

Separate question, but do you think a 5 on the AP test would help the teacher move my grade up?
