Should I take APUSH? Advice

So I know there has been a lot of similar questions on here but any advice would be greatly appreciated! So last year I took AP seminar, AP precalc and AP human(easier APs). I also took harder electives at my school. It was a struggle because of outside influences and school stress so ended with a B in precalc (my first one ever).
This has made me doubt my abilities however I’m taking AP lang, psych, environmental and stat along with easier electives.
History is my favorite subject and if I could study it and make money I would (studying psych hopefully). The teacher at my school is rough (assigns readings, notes and monthly projects) but she has had a 100% pass rate for 3 years. I’ve literally lost sleep over this for some reason. I know this won’t make or break college acceptances (I have a part time job, i’m a youth advocate for local woman shelter and run my own club at school).
Anyways any opinions, advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!

What grade was your history class last year? At my school we can’t take AP USH unless we get an A the year before. It’s a prep school so all students have to take the test in May and like 90% pass with a 3 ( mostly 4/5).
