Senior Year schedule help

Hi all, I’m new to the College Confidential site, and hope you can help me in regard to scheduling for my senor year.

The schedule that I am signed up for next year (which can be changed of course is:
AP Computer Science (my intended major and passion)
AP Physics 1 (wanted to try out all sciences)
AP Statistics
Honors Calculus (A less rigorous version of AB)
Honors American Literature (already took AP Lang and lit)
Other easy classes like gym
Quarter long study hall session.

I am fine with my current schedule however I have increasingly been wanting to take AP Chemistry because I enjoy and am doing well in Honors Chem. I like Chemistry more than the other sciences so far, and I figures if I can handle it I should opt to take it. However I am also wondering whether or not I should take AP Calculus AB, and if it is essential to take for a computer science major. I am just worried about whether I can handle the rigor. In Honors Pre-Calculus (trig, analysis and basic intro to calculus) I have maintained a low B average, but only because since the second semester I have sort of gained a more refined work ethic in terms of studying (I sort of wasted the beginning of my junior year. I don’t think I can handle both AP Chem and AP Calc, so which one should I take?

Also most of the colleges I am applying to give credit for both but only in the four and five range

AP Computer Science - Good, especially if you love it and want t major in it.

AP Physics 1 - Have you taken regular physics before?

AP Stats - Honestly, I would not take this if you’re already taking calculus. Most people take it before calc. While it is a useful class, you can take it in college. Why not replace this with AP Chem? Chem would look more rigorous (if that’s what you’re going for)

Honors Calculus - Why not just got for AB? I think you can handle AB and Chem.

Honors American Literature - Can you take a Dual Enrollment Class through your local CC or even your school? I think that would look better, especially if you’re already taken AP Lang and AP Lit.

Other easy classes like gym - Is gym the only “other easy class”?

Study Hall - Fine
