I’m currently taking regular chem, and I’m one of the top students in my class. I usually understand the concepts the same day (or the next) they’re taught, compared to the rest of my peers that seem to struggle after numerous examples and clarifications (ex. My teacher’s doing some complicated problem on the board and after he’s finished there’s a pause followed by several WHAT’s ) I’m considering taking AP chemistry next year as a junior, because judging by this class, I’m pretty good at the subject (with my A test/quiz average to back it up). I probably should’ve taken honors, but at registration I had no clue how well I would do in chemistry until now. If it helps any, I’m currently taking 2 AP courses, so I’m used to the workload. What do you guys think? 
I’m new and just realized I probably should’ve posted this under the high school section… oops.
