<p>saw this in a thread a long time ago</p>

<p>HARDEST:
CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS, CALCULUS AB</p>

<p>MEDIUM:
LIT, EURO, US, GOVERNMENT + COMPARATIVE POLITICS, ECONOMICS, FRENCH</p>

<p>EASY:
ENG LANG, SPANISH, PSYCH</p>

<p>Hardest: Government, Biology, Calc BC
Medium: US, Micro and Macro Econ, English, Calc AB
Easy: Spanish, French, Physics, Chemistry</p>

<p>Hardest: US History (by far... holy cow!), Calc. AB
Medium: Biology, English Lit.</p>

<p>and sadly, that's all my school offers...</p>

<p>i do IB, so have a bit of an outside view of our AP classes.. but..</p>

<p>hardest: BC Calc by faaaaar .. there are usually 20-30 point curves and the highest person in the class has about a 75 before the curve... but also AP physics, AP US (taken Junior year), AP Bio, AP French, at least this year, because there are 2 fluent ppl in the class (which makes 1/4 of the class fluent) and a horrible teacher, AP Spanish, AP Latin</p>

<p>MID: Chem, Comp Sci, Lit, Gov, that other AP english course, </p>

<p>Easy: Enivronmental sciece, art and music history</p>

<p>I think im missing some AP's my school offers, but I can't think of what else we offer.</p>

<p>Hardest: Biology, Spanish, Calculus AB, French</p>

<p>Medium: American Hist, Euro Hist, Art</p>

<p>Easy: English Lit, Music Theory</p>

<p>HARDEST:
AP FRENCH (Our whole first semester mark was based on this ONE pre-test - the highest mark was like a 61%. Goodness..shivers.)
AP PHYSICS
AP ENGLISH</p>

<p>EASIEST:
AP BIO
AP CHEM
AP PSYCH</p>

<p>hardest: Physics, Chem, Bio, Calc BC</p>

<p>easiest: Psych, US History, Lang & Comp</p>

<p>HARDEST: BC Calc, AB Calc, Econ, Physics, Chem (depending on the teacher), Euro</p>

<p>MEDIUM: Lit, Latin, Bio (depending on the teacher)</p>

<p>EASIEST: Language & Comp, Psych, Spanish, French, Stat, Art History</p>

<p>Hardest: Chemistry, Lang</p>

<p>Medium: Lit, U.S. Government</p>

<p>Easiest: Calc AB, Calc C, Env. Studies, Micro/Macro, Physics B, Psychology, Statistics</p>

<p>I don't know about you but usually there are no more than 5 A's for every 30 students per AP class. Usually its distributed by 5 A's, 15 B's, 6-7 C's, 2-3 D/F. Our teacher says thats what a Rigirous AP class SHOULD be like. Therefore, nobody has a perfect gpa. Any comments about your school?</p>

<p>Hardest: Chem, Calc BC, English Lit</p>

<p>Medium: Euro History</p>

<p>Easy: US gov, Comp gov, US history</p>

<p>I took several AP courses before going into IB (much harder)</p>

<p>Note: At my IB school 95% is in the top 10% of their class prior to Junior year. Junior year we ask to enter, they say yes or no depending on interview and other stuff.</p>

<p>Hardest: IB English HL (1/3 failing)</p>

<p>Medium: IB Math HL, Physics HL, History HL, Spanish SL, Art HL</p>

<p>Easy: AP Chem, Comp Sci AB, Calculus AB</p>

<p>Not trying to be discriminatory, but AP is far easier. I scored 5, 3, 5 respectively, and the 3 in computer science is because i self-taught 1 month before the test since our teacher didn't even know java and was useless.</p>

<p>IB Test I took with a 94 average in Bio and got a 5..... The IB test grade was near perfect, but the internal assessments and lab reports killed my grade. (new teacher, marked us all high so we all were severely marked down)</p>

<p>Hardest: Calc, Bio, Lit, Euro, Latin (mostly just work intensive)
Medium: Chem, the languages
Easiest: US Hist, Gov, Physics</p>

<p>....I know SOMETHING is being left out here...</p>

<p>Hardest: Chem
Easy: Everything else. My school offers about 22-23 AP classes, but after chem, nothing phases me.</p>

<p>i dont get how all of you are posting calculus as the hardest, for me it's definetely english/social sciences that are the hard AP's. calculus is easy to me and probably a lot of people on this forum.</p>

<p>AP classes are super easy at my school. I play chess and connect four and bridge and scrabble all day long. One time we even had a DDR tournament. So what if we get 4s instead of 5s...</p>

<p>Hardest: Chem, Calculus AB, Physics (Physics and chem are crazy hard...it's exciting when you get points on tests)</p>

<p>Medium: Euro, Bio, Lit, Statistics</p>

<p>Easy: lang, spanish, Psych</p>

<p>Hardest: AP English, AP French/Spanish, AP Physics, AP Art History (the teacher is challenging), AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Chemistry</p>

<p>Medium: AP US History, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology</p>

<p>Easy: AP Government</p>

<p>Hardest: Latin Vergil/Latin Literature, Chemistry, Physics, Music Theory, Art History</p>

<p>Medium: European History, US History, English Lang/Lit, Bio, Calc AB/BC</p>

<p>Easy: Spanish, Econ, Government, Psychology, French,</p>

<p>Hardest: Economics, Latin, German, Physics, Chemistry, Music Theory, Computer Science, Biology, Statistics (Our science department is weak, but our Economics teacher is incredible-- his class is the only reason I would go back to High School)
Medium: Calculus, French, English Lang/Litearture, European History, American History, Spanish Literature (Our Humanities department is really good, as is our Calculus teacher)
Easy: Spanish Language, Art History, U.S./Comparative Government, Psychology, Environmental Science, German (on here twice-- AP test is ridiculously difficult but the class itself is a joke and nobody's taken this AP test in forever)</p>
