Is multiple AP's worth it?

I'm a rising junior and I've done 2 AP's (one still in progress). Next year will be my "spike year" with 6 AP's. By the time I graduate, I will have 13 APs. I planned this out thinking of my future as a chemical engineer but as I keep looking at it, it just seems scary. I also have the SAT to prep for, student council officer, club president, and choir officer so I'll be busy. I do want to have a good future and go to a good school but I'm having trouble deciding if it's worth it. If y'all are wondering the chosen AP's are: AP Psych, APES, AP Stats, AP Chem, AP Precal, AP Calc AB, and AP English 3. I know 2 of these AP's are supposed to be super easy but looking at them just scares me. I have good EC's and I really want to get into UC Berkeley. Multiple AP's doesn't feel like the right way to do it even though it would be good for me. I do get good grades in every class but are multiple AP's actually worth it in the end?
