It all depends on your teacher. Ours is really nice, but she gives us some pretty difficult work, (like outlining a whole chapter, and key terms). If you are thinking about taking it, go to Amazon and get a study book. Also, course-notes.org has EVERYTHING you need for the class.
It's not hard, like Chemistry, you just have to know your stuff, and yes it is a lot work, a lot of reading and note-taking. Be prepared, and study early for the test.
Yes; do a simple google search and you'll see several.

Work hard, do all your homework, and do well on tests. Then get more than 40% right on the AP test.
You can find AP Chemistry courses online through platforms like Khan Academy, Coursera, edX, and College Board's AP Classroom. These courses offer video lessons, practice exercises, and resources to help you prepare for the AP Chemistry exam.
If you are taking both tests invest in the separate books, the question format for SAT IIs and AP exams are different and the information on each test may not be exactly comparable
I got a 5.0 GPA in junior year (I'm a senior now) i had---> AP US history AP Calculus AB AP Chemistry AP Physics B AP Language and Comp. AP Biology Yes...u read right THREE AP sciences in one year Dx it sucked! but (not trying to be stereotypical) i am a try hard asian :P i actually ended first quarter with 4 B's and 2 A's but by 2nd semester i had straight A-'s xD if u try really hard u can do it! (i actually had an AP Chem and AP bio test the same day and a AP physics test the next day--- i only had 3 hours of sleep in those 48 hours :( but i did it! :D im gonna try again this year! i have AP Government (first semester) AP Enviromental Science AP Literature and Comp. AP Calculus BC AP Art History AP Physics C yikes! but i have confidence!
Yes, it is essential.
This is not a hard schedule, because you get to choose at least a unit in each of the faculties
I took AP chemistry in high school and I am a chemical engineering major and that little head start I had over everyone else really helped my GPA. I say take it, especially if you plan on taking chemistry in college.
