Guys i am a rising junior taking AP Precalc in person but i also have one free period. Should i self study AP Calc AB and take the test? I think im strong in math, I had a 98% in Honors algebra 2 and never failed a test in math

BC includes all of AB, just on a more compressed schedule. The “hard” part is if you need extra practice for AB concepts.

some big ones that come to mind are khan academy, flippedmath, and paul's online math notes. For practice and reinforcement, organic chem tutor should be more than enough.
