Hardest and Easiest AP Exam

<p>Ive only taken two - AP Human Geography, which was a piece of cake (self-studied day before) and AP Spanish Language, which was ridiculously hard (and I’m a native speaker).
Got 5’s on both.</p>

<p>Haha for me the easiest was Bio, and the hardest was Phys B…
Physics is not my cup of tea :(</p>

<p>In terms of my classes this year,
Hardest -----> Easiest:
Physics C Mech.
Chemistry
Calc AB
Psych</p>

<p>My predictions for the exams:
Chemistry
Physics C
Calc AB
Psych</p>

<p>Easy: AP Lang (had a fantastic teacher and could not have been more prepared)
Moderate: AP Environmental Science (not a hard class, but the test covers a very broad range of topics), APUSH (the test wasn’t too difficult, but this was a self study for me so I had to prepare a lot)
Hard: AP Bio (took the class with no introductory bio early in my high school career with my study skills not fully developed; however, it wasn’t a disaster as I still passed the exam)</p>

<p>The AP Art History exam rapes a lot of people…
And I find the Calc AB exam to be the easiest</p>

<p>I think you can split it up into 2 categories. Some classes may have a ton of work, but the AP test is super easy, while others have little work, but the AP test is hard.</p>

<p>Work Load - hardest to easiest</p>

<p>APUSH
AP Euro
AP Bio
AP Calc
AP Micro
AP Macro</p>

<p>AP test difficulty(for me after working hard, getting A’s/A-'s)</p>

<p>APUSH
AP Micro
AP Macro
AP Calc
AP Bio</p>

<p>Prediction for rest of tests I’m taking</p>

<p>AP English Language
AP Chem (self-studying)
AP Physics E and M
AP Physics Mechanics
AP Comparative Politics
AP Statistics
AP Calc BC
AP Psychology</p>

<p>interesting discussion. My opinion of the tests I’ve taken so far would be this (easiest–>hardest):</p>

<p>World History
Computer Science A
Calculus BC
English Language
US History
Chemistry
Spanish Language</p>

<p>Of course it varies by each individual’s strengths. Spanish was really easy for most native speakers I knew, whereas CompSci was really difficult for some who had sub-par instruction. Also, I think some have ridiculously easy multiple choice (English Lang, Calculus, World History) but moderate or difficult free response. The Calc BC free response was pretty much easy sailing except the final problem, but even leaving that one blank would probably not hurt too much because over 40% of people make 5’s on the exam.
Also some tests might be very easy by most accounts (Human Geography) but the curve makes it difficult to make a 5 ( about 9% for HG). Many people consider both Physics C tests to be ridiculous yet the curve allows around 30% on each to make 5’s. Of course the curve is often skewed by the fact that the majority of those taking the test are well-prepared, especially on more difficult coursework exams such as Calculus and Physics.</p>

<p>easiest- Psych or English
Hardest- Physics or Bio</p>

<p>Easiest: Environmental Science
Hardest: Physics C: E & M</p>

<p>Easiest: Human Geography
Hardest: Physics BC & Art History</p>

<p>Easiest is Psych.
Hardest is Physics C E/M.
^ B is not that bad.</p>

<p>Easiest: AP Psychology and APUSH.
Medium: AP Spanish Language, AP Biology, AP English Lit.
Hardest: AP Physics B.</p>

<p>I would appreciate it if someone could confirm the validity in my words. </p>

<p>I feel that the AP Enviro. exam was unfairly assessed by the people on this forum. I think that we all can agree that the coarse AP Environmental Science is a joke. Other than the occasional random disturbing fact, the class if filled with easy to comprehend, useful information that is not easily forgotten. The AP examination, however, is, in no way, a representation of the material covered in the coarse or a reflection of the knowledge acquired after the successful completion of the coarse itself. </p>

<p>Basically, fu-ck the AP test. I wholeheartedly feel that the test only aims to make me feel like an incompetent, bungled and botched fool.</p>

<p>If anyone feels similar to this, through this forum, email, text message, or even employing the use of convoluted smoke signals, let me fu-cking know so i can reclaim what little integrity I had before this test was administered to me. </p>

<p>I need to know that all the unquantifiably large amount of praise and compliments aren’t a product of foul-play and trickery on my part. You see, I am a former drop-out and my parents are not a part of my life, financially or physically. I am, and have been, contemplating reverting back to a life of crime. I also think I may take up drugs; they’re true bliss, you know. This rant has become somewhat irrelevant now, but I’m still as livid as ever.</p>

<p>That last paragraph was not supposed to be a sob story. I just come from a spotted past.</p>

<p>I personally disagree that AP Art is the easiest test. It is enjoyable if you like art, but it requires lots of efforts and time. You have to be able to manage time well in order to do all 24 pieces. (You submit your favorite ones, so you actually have to do more than 24 pieces in order to pick the best ones. I did more than 30 paintings.</p>

<p>Course Difficulty (Hardest to Easiest):
AP Chemistry
AP Calculus BC
AP Spanish Language</p>

<p>Exam Difficulty (Hardest to Easiest, including self-studies and past exams):
AP Spanish Language
AP Calculus BC
AP Chemistry
AP English Language
AP Human Geography
AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science</p>

<p>I’ve taken:
US Gov
APUSH
Euro
Physics C (Mech and E&M)
English Lit
English Lang</p>

<p>Easiest was either Lang or Gov
Hardest was by far Physics C-Mech</p>

<p>But I’m a humanities person. But still.</p>

<p>In order from easiest to hardest that I’ve taken:</p>

<p>AP Psychology (The test format is easy, but I don’t think I got a 5 simply b/c I neglected studying)
AP Environmental Science
AP Biology
AP World History
AP US History
AP English Language</p>

<p>I’m a math/science person, hence my odd ranking.</p>

<p>I’ve taken 7. I’ll rank from easiest to hardest (note that I am more of a social science/math person, not necessarily science, though I will be entering college as a physics major):</p>

<p>Environmental Science
Human Geography
Psychology
US History
Calculus AB
Chemistry
Physics C: Mechanics</p>

<p>Physics C: Mechanics was about 500 times harder than the first few on that list, and 2 times harder than Chemistry. It totally kicked my ass. I’m expecting a 3.</p>

<p>Classes: (easiest->hardest)</p>

<p>AP U.S
AP World
AP English Language
AP Physics B</p>

<p>Exam- (easiest->hardest)</p>

<p>AP U.S History
AP English Language
AP World History
AP Statistics (self studied, but didnt really study lol)
