<p>Which subject in school is your most difficult?</p>
<p>For me, it's Honors Physics, as is the deal for 95% of the people in this class. I can understand the math portion, but the conceptual questions blow me away. </p>
<p>For me, Honors Precalc and Honors Chem are two of my easiest classes though. </p>
<p>Perhaps the most difficult subject for me in general is math - I have to study three times as much for my Pre-Cal tests as opposed to my AP World or AP English tests. However, the most difficult class I’ve ever taken was AP U.S. History. I understood the material, I like history in general… but there was so much work. Just mountains of work. AP US was more homework than all of my other courses combined at the time, last year. I still maintained low A’s and pulled off a 4 on the exam… but boy, did that class test me.</p>
<p>Easiest class? AP Environmental or Honors Latin III/IV - AP Environmental for me is 90% common sense, 10% brief skimming of the textbook. I love Latin, so it comes pretty natural to me - with little to no studying, I grasp concepts in Latin with relative ease. …I wish I could say the same about PreCalculus. :(</p>
<p>Hardest for me is probably IB SL Math, because I have a really tough teacher who I can’t stand, and the tests in the class are always hard. I always end up getting B’s in the class, but most end up with C’s, and only two or three get A’s. And plus, we just had to do a large research paper. Easiest for me is gym, because, well, it’s gym.</p>
<p>@metsfamAJM - Gym was a year long nightmare for me. I’d much rather bomb tests than do push ups (mostly because I can physically fail a test, I can’t even do a push up.) ^^</p>
<p>Physics Not even AP, just honors, like you.
I absolutely hate it. I feel like when the teacher explains a problem (which he hardly does), I understand it but then when I get the problem myself, I just don’t know what to do with it!</p>
<p>@preamble: Yeah, I hate fitness testing too–specifically running the mile, which we have to do next week–but all you have to do to get an A in the class is wear your gym clothes and at least make an effort when doing the activities; you could be the most unathletic person ever and receive a 100% in the class. Some of the activities, like tennis, kickball, ultimate frisbee, and badminton are actually really fun, so it’s not a nightmare for me.</p>
<p>Hardest class for me is IB Environmental SL, just because the questions require ridiculous leaps in logic that she won’t teach (one of the test questions was “What causes salinization of the soil?” The answer? Irrigation. We were supposed to assume that all of the water ever used, for whatever reason, contained dissolved salt. And she pitched us this class as supposedly easy. She assigns a crap load of homework for no reason, and is majorly irritating. She was an awful chemistry teacher, and she’s an awful environmental teacher.
Easiest class is probably TOK, because it’s really similar to the Pre-IB class that I took, or maybe Honors Economics, because it’s required and seems way easier compared to IB classes.</p>
<p>Easily AP/AS level chemistry. We have both of those courses shoved into two periods, and we’re spreading ourselves too thin. Plus, our teacher refuses to curve the grades. Our average is around a 55, and if anyone has an A, it’s a borderline one.</p>
<p>I was in regular Spanish for years, and then went up to Pre-AP Spanish IV. Bad mistake. </p>
<p>The teacher’s good, but she’s a very hard grader, and her Spanish IV class is equivalent to a rigorous AP Spanish class – that is, much more intensive than anything in any of my preceding years of Spanish, when I had teachers who weren’t fluent and seldom gave lessons. =/ </p>
<p>I’d wanted to take German I instead, but it conflicted with another class which I really wanted to take.</p>
