<p>which AP science class/exam is the hardest- physics, biology or chemistry?</p>
<p>Physics, duh. Generally speaking. </p>
<p>Of course, the answer to your question is relative to each person's strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>then in that case u cant say "duh"</p>
<p>Yeah, no joke. Physics is not the most difficult. I would say the best answer is to say that inasmuch as physics and, to a lesser extent, chemistry both involve concepts and mathematics and biology is mostly memorization, physics is the most difficult for people who aren't naturally gifted at math and science, while biology is the most difficult for people who are more gifted. For me, biology was the hardest. (Of course, no AP test is really "hard"; I took AP Biology freshman year and made a 5.)</p>
<p>Physics....</p>
<p>So many factors determine which is hardest for YOU (teachers, past experiences, etc.) but imo:</p>
<p>Physics if you're not too great with logic/math.
Chemistry if you can't memorize and apply.
Biology if you can't deal with concepts that are at the microscopic level and have a hard time memorizing stuff.</p>
<p>I've taken all 3 - let me weigh in. </p>
<p>Physics C is HARD - it requires calculus and both mathematical and theoreitcal knowledge of physics. I started to self-study it, but I had 8 other APs and 6 college Apps, so I gave it up in January. </p>
<p>Chem is also hard - if you have a good teacher, you have to actually do the problem sets, and the AP Practice problems/exams, especially when you get to acids bases, equilibrium, and kinetics (usually around january). You need good grades in the class AND self-studying (starting around February) using the Princeton Review book. </p>
<p>Bio is generally considered easier. I'm a strong math person, so I found the bio actually harder, but I am MUCH in the minority - fully 90% of the pop. finds bio easy. There is a LOT of stuff to learn - and reviewing constantly - but the curve is pretty easy. </p>
<p>Physics B is pretty easy, even for non-math people (only algebra I is required) - the amount of stuff to do is managable, it's just a matter of learning when to apply each equation. A year with a good teacher is all you need. </p>
<p>Even non-science majors generally do OK on the physics and bio; chem and phys C are usually reserved for the future physicists, doctors, and engineers.</p>
<p>uh......at my school you need to be taking pre-calculus or ap statistics to take ap physics b...algebra 1? bull crap</p>
