<p>Hi, I am a senior taking 4 AP's this year. Could people who have taken these classes and tests before tell me how difficult they are and if their are any specific strategies to succeed in any of them?</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP Calculus BC
AP English Lit
AP European History</p>
<p>Thanks for the help and I am willing to answer questions about AP US History, Biology, Calculus AB, and English Lang.</p>
<p>AP Physics B is ok. I'd say it's tougher than Bio, just because you need to know your math. Make sure you know your trig, geom, and algebra 2. I'd say it's AP Chemistry-like in difficulty. Some say it's more difficult. Some say less. It's more difficult than the Calcs, that's for sure.</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC is an easy exam. It's almost as easy as Calculus AB, but it has a more generous curve. You only learn a chapter or two more.</p>
<p>AP English Lit is ok. Depends if English is your thing. You don't really need to study for it, so no stress. </p>
<p>AP Euro is similar to AP US. Lots of reading and memorizing, but otherwise it's easy.</p>
<p>Calculus BC is only about three chapters beyond AB, and is rather easy if you are good at mechanical math. Keeping a list of each theorem, formula, and method of solving problems (volumes, Taylor series) reduces this course to about a three-page set of notes.
I took Physics C so I can't speak for B level.</p>
<p>It shouldn't be a problem for you to handle any of those classes, since you're only taking 4 in total. AP's only become a problem if you take more than 5.</p>
