let me give you some good advice. Quit lying to yourself about "knowing the material, but not testing well".
Buckle down, get the grades up (a.k.a. learning the material, not just thinking you know it), and see what happens.
I for one would not my Pharmacist to be unable to pass an exam.
So I passed all my exams handily and stay up to date. I OWE it to my patients

Honestly take some time to do some soul searching about your career. Don't necessarily think about the $$$$, because money will not make you happy. It may solve some problems, but if you do not picture yourself really enjoying what you do for a living, the money will not help unhappiness. You are only 16 years old, and have some time. I would focus on your science and math classes, because that seems like your passion. Discuss your test anxiety with your teacher, and see if there's something you could do for extra credit. I fyour teacher believes in your ability, they will want to help you.
Keep in mind that although you could become something great like a pharmacist, college can be very, very expensive, especially going on to graduate school after getting your undergrad. Meditate on everything, and talk with your folks and counselors. Good luck.

With the increasing demands of pharmacists now, pharmacy school admission is very competitive and you will need more than a C in AP Biology. There's more focus on science in pharmacy school than there is math so math doesnt really help you in the long run. Also, there is ALOT of materials to memorize. I mean literally ,the school will demand you TO MEMORIZE PHONE BOOKS in one semester. If you can get through school and work at retail, you will need ALOT of patience because patients will hassle you at drop off and doctors will hassle you on the phone.
Then again, there are other alternatives like nursing, physician assistant, respiratory therapists.

Become a pharmacist. Making 90K+ per year. Hard work in school, but very much so worth it.

slow down.......the fact you are 16 and someone is offering you $75K is disturbing.
if you dont focus on what you want to do, instead of finding a way to land that job, you'll be making a big mistake.
ask yourself , do you want to be scientist or do you want to make $75K a year..........
now is the time to pursue what you want, ten years from now you may not have this luxury
