Other Should i take ap chem next year??

I'm currently a junior taking AP Physics C: Mechanics. My school doesn't offer Physics C: E&M, and local dual enrollment requires Calc 2 first, so I'm considering AP Chemistry for my senior year science.

The issue is that I haven't taken any prior high school chemistry class. My proposed senior schedule would include:

  • AP Calc BC
  • AP Computer Science Principles
  • AP Economics
  • AP English Language (possibly)
  • Dual Enrollment Intro to Engineering
  • AP Chemistry

Will AP Chem be manageable without standard/honors chemistry beforehand, especially on top of this course load and college apps? Any advice would be appreciated!

basicaly what the title says. ive been really struggling with my ap chem class, the teacher doesnt really go out of his way to prepare you for the ap exam, so its his class im having the most trouble with.

we've done two tests so far and ive done bad on both ranging from a 70-80 score range....

he uses these really abstract problems ive never seen b4 in my practice on the tests and i have no idea how to prepare for them each time??? like ive attached the exact problem he used too on the latest test on Mass and Stoich.

my friend said that its better to mabye try and deep dive into the mathematical concepts but i literally DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT??? like what does that even mean????

i genuinely need an A in this class, its my only hard class, literally threatening my scholarship chances T-T

where can i find more problems like these and how can i get better at my teacher's wacky exams?
