Retaking a Chemisty Class

How does the AAMC calculate gpa if I retake a class. I couldnt find a lot of info online.
I wanted to retake gen chem (I got a B-) but I want to graduate and retake it in another college. My college has horrible chemistry teachers and people fail or do really poorly. Does it make a difference if I take it at another college? Will the AAMC count it as a replacement class or just an additional class?
What is your opinion folks?

As far as I'm aware, retaking a class just adds another class to your transcript and another grade to your GPA.

So if you took chemistry, physics, and then chemistry again, and got a C, A, and B+, your gpa would be (2+4+3.3) / 3 = 3.1 as determined by AAMC (hopefully my basic arithmetic doesn't embarrass me here...)
