Not that this is the best solution for everyone, but for me, getting practical experience working with chemicals, doing reactions on my own [in my kitchen], and "speaking the language" really helps.
If you see a chemical reaction in a book, some people might just see the letters and symbols, but if you have actually witnessed the reaction, it means to much more.
Which means more to someone, this
3Fe3O4 + 8Al --> 9Fe + 4Al2O3

Synthesizing a compound gives you a new appreciation for the chemical and how it reacts.
So practice would be my advice, both in the practical aspect, and the computational aspect.

and i qualify for chem 121 which is general chemistry
am i better off at taking chem 100 since i have never took chem before?
or should i just take chem 121 which I'm qualified for?
Chemistry is the scientific study of matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes. It is a branch of science that helps us understand the world around us and plays a crucial role in various industries, such as medicine, agriculture, and technology.
Chemistry is important because it helps us understand the composition, structure, and behavior of matter. This knowledge allows us to develop new materials, improve existing products, and find solutions to global challenges, such as climate change and disease.
A basic chemistry course typically covers topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, and the periodic table. It may also include laboratory experiments to help students apply theoretical concepts.
Chemistry can be challenging, especially for those who have never taken it before. It involves learning new concepts and applying mathematical skills. However, with dedication, practice, and the right resources, anyone can understand and excel in chemistry.
To prepare for a chemistry course, you can review basic math concepts, such as fractions, decimals, and scientific notation. You can also read introductory chemistry textbooks or watch online tutorials to familiarize yourself with the subject. It may also be helpful to reach out to your instructor for recommended resources or study tips.
