Hardest and Easiest AP Exam

<p>Hardest: Biology
Easiest: Calculus</p>

<p>Out of the APs I have taken, this is a list from easiest to hardest.</p>

<p>Psych, Stats, US History, Lit, Calculus BC</p>

<p>I was going to take Euro and Chem, but I decided that it was too much in one week. I'm in 4 3-hour plays this weekend and I have four hour rehearsals every night.</p>

<p>Easiest - Statistics
Hardest - Most Language Exams</p>

<p>While Calculus BC and Physics C might have hard material, they have generous curves and lots of students do well on the exams. The language exams, however, are notoriously difficult.</p>

<p>i only took Euro and Human geography and i got a 5 on both so id say those are the easiest. but we'll see after this years, if that changes lol</p>

<p>Hardest: Spanish, Language
Easiest: Psychology, USH was pretty easy</p>

<p>i thought AP Lit was easier than the AP Lang that i took last year, when i had to write about plastic flamingoes</p>

<p>but I'd say AP Physics C is the hardest of the three</p>

<p>Calculus AB was the easiest test I had last year.
After this year though, I have to say that BC is a beast.</p>

<p>For Me</p>

<p>Hard: French
Physics B somewhere in the middle here
Medium: Calc BC, Chemistry</p>

<p>Easy: Biology, Lit</p>

<p>Out of the grand total of two AP tests I'm taking or have taken this year (just a freshman):
Hardest: AP Government
Easiest: AP Biology (it just requires a minimal amount of studying above any regular biology class)</p>

<p>That's not to say that AP Government was hard, though. It wasn't.</p>

<p>I'd say that pure percentage-wise (like number right/wrong), the hardest is chemistry, because there is just such a large amount of information (you only need like a 35% to pass).</p>

<p>Last year's Calc AB was easy, as was Stats this year (except FRQ #6, which we never learned :=(</p>

<p>Hardest---Music Theory(no perfect pitch)</p>

<p>Easiest---Human Geo</p>

<p>AP studio art is certainly not easy. 12 good pieces in a year is extremely challenging, and you have to do a bunch of matting, photographing, labeling, organising..etc. it's been the source of my stress for the past two weeks, basically.</p>

<p>I just took Euro and...it wasn't bad. Calc was hard, though.</p>

<p>Easiest: French Lang.
Hardest: Calc.</p>

<p>US Government and Psychology were the easiest for me.</p>

<p>see your statistics are vary biased, when people are asked hardest, first they think from what they took, and also curve is adjusted, and the fact there are less 5's for example in Gov, does not mean YOU cant say its not the easiest because you might be someone with straight 2's or 3's and have goten a 4, so your statistics are quite useless ,.
Also can someone really exaplin the method for calculating 1's to 5's?
I know you obviously get a raw score which is converted, but you cant see they just normalize because every test has different number of 5's 4's 3's 2's and 1's. so they obviously have a set number already in mind and then only then slightly adjust curve bast on difficulty from year to year (because people dont gerenrally change raw scores on yeear to year, unless there is a drastic change in testing (like adding calculator on calc, and i think changing the comparative exam)
So does anyone know exact methods to CB comming up with there score methodss (i read somewhre they gove the same exam to college students and base it on a comparision to our exam), oh and provide any sources for your answer
P.S. easiest for me was US government (but i probably got either a 3 or a 4 and i took 6 exams this year up intill this point, hardest definately Physics B (and EUro also very hard, but thats cause of studing limitations)</p>

<p>AP Spanish was a killer for me last year (I'm a nonnative)</p>

<p>Luckily the curve is very generous, because I left out ~ 20-25 MC and still managed a 3</p>

<p>Hardest-Physics (C of course) - Owns everyone - even our teacher sometimes- luckily, the curve is ridiculously good</p>

<p>Easiest - (for me) Statistics - Seemed hard at the time, but looking back and comparing it to calc BC, it was a walk in the park. MC questions have 1.5hrs allotted - most finish in 45 minutes</p>

<p>Out of the four APs I've taken, euro was definately the hardest to study for me and calc the easiest. I took comp sci, and the class was easy but in questions i always worry i'm gonna mess up writing the programs and answering the MC. Im a bit worried for chem too, but Euro was definately the hardest for me.
In Order: from hard to easy
Euro or any history becuase of dates and knowing the material and being able to answer it
Chem-- so much conceptual material and needing the ability to understand and apply it
Comp Sci-- easy to make careless mistakes on the MC and writing the FR
Calc(even BC)- the easiest becuase they just see if you know the material, not how well you apply it.</p>

<p>AP Government is the easiest. You need like an 80 percent for a five--the highest for any AP test--which means that people score the highest on it.</p>
