How hard are these APs?

I know difficulty depends on the school, teacher, etc, but I wanted to know how hard these APs are generally considered:
AP Stats
AP Chemistry
AP Art History
AP Environmental Science
AP Macroeconomics
I’m planning on taking those classes next year and wanted to know what classes I should plan on being more difficult and time-consuming. Thanks!

AP Chemistry is time-consuming due to the labs… AP Art History can be difficult if you don’t really have an appreciation for art; otherwise it’s OK. All the others are fine. That said, it does depend a lot on the teacher. It also depends if you are trying to take all 5 at the same time, since, in general, the workload in any AP class will be higher than in a regular class.

Speaking on behalf of AP Stats, if you pay attention, it’s easy. Also, Evnironmental is very easy from what I hear.

I can speak from experience that Chem will be very challenging, regardless of your math skills. I would only take it with 2 other aps or take all the other aps without Chem.

I have taken AP Chem and gotten a 5, so from experience, it is very time consuming, especially the lab reports and homework problems. The exam is tough but f you consistently, work hard and are one of those math people this class would be a really good fit for you.

AP Stats and AP Economics were fun classes for people at my school from what I heard. If you keep up, you’ll be fine.

I’ve heard ap chemistry is difficult. AP Environmental is considered to be pretty easy. Like someone else said a lot of it depends on your teacher. For the test though, AP Environmental is considered to be one of the easiest while chemistry is one of the hardest.

AP Chemistry was definitely the most challenging AP I’ve taken (I took 13 in total during my highschool life). AP Enviornmental is very easy and a lot of the test/ course is kind of a mix of basic biology, some AP Human, and some common sense. My teacher for that class was awful but I still managed to get a 4. AP Macroeconomics can be a little hard at first because it’s not something you’ve really studied before, but once you get the hang of it, the course is actually quite simple and the exam was very straight forward and easy.
