AP Classes based on difficulty.

<p>Easiest</p>

<p>Calc AB
Bio
World History
Euro
Physics C: Mechanics (Honors class w/self study because school didn’t offer AP)
Chem
US History</p>

<p>Hardest</p>

<p>I also self-studied Psych and Microeconomics, which were easier than any of the classes indicated on the list.</p>

<p>I’m a rising senior (my school doesn’t give us the opportunity to take very many APs until senior year really, just honors classes. I’ll be taking 3 this year though), and I took Art History and English Lang, obviously Art History was a lot harder.</p>

<p>By class:
AP computer science
AP English language
AP spanish
AP US History</p>

<p>By test:
AP spanish
AP English language
AP computer science
AP US History</p>

<p>I’m pretty bad with history, though. I can never remember dates and that kind of thing.</p>

<p>Easiest</p>

<p>English Lang.
European Hist.
Computer Science
Calc. AB</p>

<p>Hardest</p>

<p>Taking AP Statistics, Biology, Physics, English Lit, and Gov/Econ next year. (rising senior)</p>

<p>By Class</p>

<p>Macroeconomics
English Lit
Calc BC
US History
Chemistry
Biology (bad teach, taught myself everything)</p>

<p>By Test</p>

<p>Macroeconomics - 5
Calc BC - 5
Biology - 5
US History - 5
Chemistry - 5
English Lit - 2</p>

<p>You can’t really prepare for English. You are either good or bad at it.</p>

<p>Easiest
AP Calc BC
AP Psych
AP Comp Gov
AP Physics C mechanics
AP Stat
AP Physics C E/M
AP Chem
AP Eng Lang
Hardest</p>

<p>Psychology- class and test were extremely easy. Plus my dad’s a Psychology professor :smiley:
English Language- class was only practice AP tests. Test itself was ok
Biology - class for me was a little difficult, got a high A though. Many former straight a students were humbled with C’s. Test I’m not sure, got an 800 on SAT Bio E though
US History- hated the subject, the class, and the test</p>

<p>I know you asked for just the classes, but I feel like talking about the test itself is important too. These lists are ranked from hardest to easiest. </p>

<p>Classes:
English Language and Composition - A
Chemistry - A
Biology - A
Euro - A
US History - A</p>

<p>Exams:
Chemistry - 5
US History - 4
European History - 5
English Language and Composition - 5
Biology - 5</p>

<p>There’s an interesting inverse correlation between some of the classes and the tests: for example, APUSH has been my easiest AP class so far but it was one of the hardest AP exams I have taken as well as my only 4.</p>

<p>English Lang (pretty straightforward, though many students do seem to have trouble with this, being one of the most widely taken APs)
World Hist (very analytical and broad)
American Hist (fact regurgitation)
Spanish Lang (daunting for nonnatives, often underestimated by natives)
Spanish Lit (few external resources, complex terminology)
Physics B (requires a more abstract approach to problem solving)</p>

<p>This is based on subject matter, rather than a workload which varies depending on the teacher.</p>

<p>Honestly, Now that I’ve conquered AP US, I feel like I could do anything.</p>

<p>My list for easiest to hardest goes something like this:</p>

<p>AP United States History
AP English Language
AP World History
AP Chemistry</p>

<p>APUS is cake. I didn’t study once the whole year and got straight 100’s. I got a 4 on the AP test, but there were outside factors contributing to that. </p>

<p>AP English Lang is not too hard, but can be challenging for those who don’t write that well. I had solid high 90’s year round and got a 4 on the test.</p>

<p>AP World was dreadful for me to prepare for. I did extremely well in the class itself with high 90’s, but the test scared the hell out of me considering it was my first. I got a 4 on it, which I’m proud of since most of my class failed.</p>

<p>AP Chemistry is horrifyingly hard. If you don’t believe me, I like the way this guy summed it up: [AP</a> Chemistry Rant - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube) But anyway, I managed to get mid-90’s throughout the year, and squeaked out a 3 on the test. Ultimately, I’m disappointed in myself for not being able to do better, but that’s a lesson to learn when it comes to taking challenging things seriously.</p>
