I don't even understand why people make huge generalizations about the difficulty and

<p>workload of AP classes. They're obviously going to be different at different schools, and even if there is some sort of general trend it is nearly impossible to say for certain how much work someone will have in a certain class. If someone wants to know the difficulty of AP ____ at their school, they should go ask people that are actually taking it right now with that teacher.</p>

<p>Of course, it isn't as bad as the people who think that counting the number of APs in a schedule is a good way to quantify its difficulty.</p>

<p>You can guestimate. For example, AP physics C will be more difficult than AP human Geo. We can say what’s hard comparatively.</p>

<p>Certain AP classes will be almost always require more work than others. APUSH, AP languages, and AP English Lit/Lang are generally more intensive classes than AP Stat, AP Human Geo, or AP Environmental Science.</p>

<p>But # of APs says so little about a schedule. I could take 5 APs and have less work than taking 4 honors classes in a good high school.</p>

<p>False. My school’s APES class is known for having a plethora of useless but time-consuming projects and homeworks equal to if not exceeding the amount of work in APUSH, for example.</p>

<p>^Yeah APES at our school is hella work.</p>

<p>And the other teacher for AP English Lit doesn’t do s***. They sit in groups and “talk about literature,” i.e. gossip/do hw for other classes/chill. They don’t get hw either, except for reading the books and an essay like once every couple of months that gets graded really leniently.</p>

<p>And at my school AP Gov is a b****–it’s more work, and harder, than AP Calc BC.</p>

<p>It’s really impossible to generalize.</p>
