I have no idea what is best to do here (nor will anyone else) because I'm not familiar with your school, the best thing to do would be to find an older student who took APUSH, preferably one with as similar a level of intelligence, work ethic, preference for the subject, outside obligations etc. and ask what s/he thinks you can do.
In my school, our AP course was a lot more about higher level thinking in addition to rote memorization. If your class is just the same information with a harder workload thats just because of the way your school is, not necessarily the AP itself.
For apush on the overall, I think its overrated a lot as being hard. If you can do well (get 5/6 of the questions right or more) on the multiple choice questions you already have a 3. Do well on the m/c and one of the essays (say a 6 or higher out of 9) and you have a 4. Do well on m/c and two of the essays and you have a 5. Then you have that 3rd essay which you can use to give you a flexibility.
Since the course is so memorization based, if you have the work ethic, a 4 is very achievable, and a 5 is not so bad either. Can't recommend this review book enough as well (out of stock now but should be restocked closer to the test) http://www.amazon.com/Direct-Hits-US-History-Flash/dp/1936551047/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1318179898&sr=8-3
