<p>Which AP Courses, in your opinion, are the easiest.</p>
<p>And likewise, hardest?</p>
<p>It all depends on the school/teacher...</p>
<p>But as for the exams...</p>
<p>AP CS, IF you already know how to program, is a no-brainer</p>
<p>The AP Languages are probably the only ones that can't be done (by us normal, non-photographic memory people) in 1 year...I bombed AP Spanish (the exam), and that's after 4 years of the language...</p>
<p>Art History = Breeze
Calculus BC = Nightmare (My only B in hs)</p>
<p>WHAT HAS THIS WORLD GONE TO?!!! Do you guys not realize an AP class is College work. None are easy unless you got a teacher who has no idea what he/she is doing. (note: unless you take APCS and you know everything about computers and how to program, then that's an easy class...or if you are fluent in an language, then an AP Lang. class will be easy.)</p>
<p>AP classes are freshmen introductory level college survey courses. The difficulty shouldn't be too much above what you're used to in high school. To answer the OP's question, i think Stats is one of the easiest.</p>
<p>I hear that Art History is really hard if you have a bad teacher. I think world history and human geography are pretty easy.</p>
<p>I personally thought AP US Gov. was the easiest. A lot of people told me psychology was easy, but I used a textbook that left out a lot of the topics so the exam was kind of hard. Statistics exam was easy, and as long as you have a decent teacher it should be an easy class.</p>
<p>Dude</p>
<p>Calc BC = very easy if you understand mathematics well
Comp Sci = very easy if you know how to program(you should take AB is you can already program, and you need good knowledge of data structures for that).
Foreign Language = Hard</p>
<p>Don't take AP's to take AP's. Take em if you are sincerely interested in the subject.</p>
<p>AP Psych is the easiest hands down. Use barrons then its ummm... TOTAL OWNAGE of the exam!</p>
<p>I only took 3 in all of my high school years
out of them I'd say calc AB was the easiest. once you wrap your mind around the concepts of derivitives and anti-derivitives you can probably do very well.
AP European history would be the hardest, the whole year was 800 textbook pages of sheer information. I was never a history buff anyway, so getting motivated to study wasn't working</p>
<p>It really depends on the student.</p>
<p>I personally think math is not a difficult subject TO STUDY. You read the text, do the examples as they come, and then tackle the problems.</p>
<p>For some, math = death. For some of these students, history is a walk in the park.</p>
<p>It may not be so easy for me.</p>
<p>English Lang/Comp is easy... I don't know if I passed it or not yet, but it was easy. :P</p>
<p>I would say comparitive governemnt and economics is the easiest ap class. </p>
<p>Non of you must of ever taken AP Studio Art. That class is the hardest ever. You have to make a portfolio by the end of the year with really, and I mean really good quality pieces or art. If you've never made art before or If art is not your thing then Studio Art is the hardest!!!!!</p>
<p>That's why we didn't take Studio Art...I can't draw a straight line :p</p>
<p>BTW, what do soy noodles taste like?</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>Actually my mom owns a health food store so I DO know what soy noodles taste like, like tofu!</p>
<p>I wasn't trying to be sarcastic...I never had them...</p>
<p>I like tofu though...but is there enough of a difference between them to warrant buying them instead of tofu?</p>
<p>(Wow...what a weird detour...lol)</p>
<p>From what I've heard, AP psychology is easy. At our school, at least, AP Art (not art history) is also easy, too.</p>
<p>Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>The College Board puts out a data table with statistics on student performance for each test. That data table can be found [url=<a href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/repository/gradedistbysubject_39023.pdf%5Dhere%5B/url">http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/repository/gradedistbysubject_39023.pdf]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>According to the data, the test with the lowest rate of 5's is US Government and Politics (6.2%). The test with the lowest mean score is Environmental Science (2.60). The test with the highest failure rate is Environmental Science again (49.6%).</p>
<p>The test with the highest rate of 5's is, believe it or not, Calculus BC, with 39.8% of test takers receiving a 5. The test with the highest mean score is again BC Calc (3.65). The test with the lowest failure rate is, surprise surprise, also BC Calc, with 79.6% of students passing.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the data is an incomplete picture. I found the AP US Gov Pol test to be absurdly easy, for instance. The problem is inherent in the make-up of who takes each test. For a test like BC Calc, mostly highly motivated and highly skilled students take it, and thus naturally score higher.</p>
<p>So don't read too much into the statistics. Still, they're an interesting perspective on the issue (much more can be found on the data table I linked to above).</p>
<p>Psych is supposed to be easy... I thought Bio was really easy (our workload was pretty bad though) but i think the test is pretty simple unless you have a hard question or anally specific FRQ. Languages= spawn of evil. You'd think after 4 years of french i would be able to undestand the AP Lit poem, but no. Then again it depends on how good your teacher is, and how good your past teachers have been...</p>
<p>I think statistics cannot explain those percentages of Cal BC.</p>
<p>Who really takes Cal BC? Only good students to begin with.</p>
