<p>Hey, I'm wondering which AP class is harder? I'm about to take the AP Human Geography exam on Friday and am feeling confident that I'll get a 5. The class was a little challenging because you pretty much have to know a lot of facts about everywhere in the world. Many of the questions you have to answer are obvious only if you are lucky to come across them while learning. I had to familiarize myself with several examples for each concept we learned. Overall, the course has a terrible passing rate.</p>

<p>I signed up to take AP US History next year and am wondering how hard it is compared to AP Human Geography? How hard is it to get a 5?</p>

<p>I'd prefer that people who have taken one or both classes answer.</p>

<p>There’s no contest, APUSH is not only much more difficult but more respected by colleges. I took APUSH last year and it was a lot of material, but I managed to score a 5 on the test. I have friends in Human Geography and they think it’s ridiculously easy, although their tests are directly based off the book. There’s just so much more to cover and less common sense in APUSH.</p>
