Maths and chemistry maths are nothing alike as in concept wise
The actual maths in chemistry is generally simple. It's the working out what the question is talking about and what numbers to use which is the hard part.
At A level I didn’t feel as if there was a lot of maths, personally. You could be average at maths and get away with it. However, my other subjects were heavy with maths so it would depend on what you consider to be “too much maths”

I would say there is definitely more maths in A levels chemistry than GCSE chemistry

The hardest maths in A-Level chemistry is rarely anything more than basic algebra, however, there is an equation that would be easier to understand if you have the knowledge of logs which is an A-Level only topic (your teacher should tell you what you need anyway so shouldn't matter).
