<p>But from all the opinions, the easiest ones definitely seem be:</p>
<p>AP Psych
AP Stats
AP Environmental Science
APUSH
maybe AP World History</p>
<p>and the hard ones seem to be:
AP Chem
AP Calc
Probably AP Physics? I haven’t taken any physics classes yet so idk…
Possibly AP Bio… no opinions on this thread though.</p>
<p>Ap Music Theory = easy. The exam is very hard though. I think the course is easy.
Ap Us History = hard, if you don’t like to read anything like me.</p>
<p>If you Google “easiest AP classes” and read through the many forums, the classes repeatedly mentioned as the easiest are:
AP Psych
AP Stats
AP Enviro
AP English Language (NOT Literature)</p>
<p>And fyi - the forums REPEATEDLY say that the AP Music exam is a killer!</p>
<p>Man, I’m not even going to try Music Theory XD I’ve been playing instruments since third grade and I barely know my majors and minors. I’m not musically inclined… haha. Yeah, but I found that I ended up not reading much for World History and Human Geography so I’m speculating that it will go similarly for APUSH… as bad as it is, haha</p>
<p>Ap Music will be a swing for you, if you have read music and played piano for 10 years. Yeah. The knowledge of piano is especially a good instrument for the class. In addition, if you are perfect pitch, the listening portion of the exam will be a joke for you. It’s like the answer is right there in front of you.</p>
<p>I’ve taken music theory that’s about the equivalent of AP Music when I was in 5th grade (for piano…). Only problem I have is I don’t have perfect pitch…How do people do well on this w/o perfect pitch?!
For APUSH, I suck at the essays. I keep getting 5’s and 6’s I don’t know if it’s maybe my teacher’s harder on us or if i just really suck at writing…</p>
<p>By perfect pitch, do you mean you have to correctly guess the note upon hearing it? If that is so, AP Music Theory is SO out of question for me bahhahahahahaa.</p>
<p>I’ve realized that the difficulty of AP classes depend a LOT on the teacher. Like the AP chem teacher at my school. People said you don’t know what the crap you’re doing, but you’ll still get a good grade… I’m not even gonna hope for a passing grade on the AP test if I take that class XDDDDD</p>
<p>Yes. Perfect pitch, which I embrace it as one of my natural skills, is the ability to perceive the note of what you hear. You can practice and learn what sounds like what; for e.g., augmented triads sound like ass. I hate how they sound. Majors sound nice out of all, I think. But like judging the sound by experience is a good way to learn if you are not perfect pitch. Another cool example is “Pentatonic.” Think of Chinese theme~</p>
<p>People with perfect pitch know exactly what note is played. Hence, the reason why some singers can actually sing in tune and some can’t. </p>
<p>Wow, our AP Chem course is really strong, and the kids actually do learn. One of the teachers holds a doctorate degree, another is just plain hard. But I heard they’re prepared really well for the exam</p>
<p>@kimhm92: I know how to differentiate between majors and minors and root chords. But if you play G major chord root position and C major chord root position, how can you differentiate them w/o perfect pitch?</p>
<p>OH MY GOSH. That explains why I SUCK AT SINGING. I cannot. sing. for my life. Okay bye bye music theory, not that I planned to take it anyways.</p>
<p>Yeeeeeah. Apparently the teacher majored in biology. It sucks. Meanwhile, I heard that the AP Biology teacher is extremely capable (thank god), and of course challenging. Hard to get a really good grade in. Thus the reason for me saving it till senior year.</p>

<p>@elau0493: I don’t think you would have to worry about that kind of thing in Ap Music Exam… They rather give you four choices of ALL Cs but in different kinds like major, minor, diminished, etc.</p>
<p>But to answer your question, I honestly don’t really know. Musictheory.net has a good ear training. The case of your question is hard for those without perfect pitch, I admit.</p>
