<p>in your opinion, what is the most difficult ap exam and the most difficult ap class and why???</p>
<p>probably Calc BC. Some people told me that it was a killer class because the teacher has been teaching at our school for over 12+ years.</p>
<p>I'd say Calc BC too.
Never had any experience with calculus, took this class, never want to have any more experience with calculus.
The AP made me want to die.</p>
<p>Top ones are Calc BC, Physics C, and foreign languages plain and simple.</p>
<p>Calc BC? Really?</p>
<p>Huh... I mean I know I'm a math person and my teacher was AMAZING but the exam was incredibly easy I think. I mean we did practice questions throughout the year so at the end it was SO easy.</p>
<p>The class was hard at parts but nothing Too rediculous. Then again it's my best subject.</p>
<p>AP Physics for sure. Thank god for that curve.</p>
<p>^ about that, what's the general consensus on Physics B and C?</p>
<p>Ap Chem</p>
<p>Ridiculously Crazyzyzyzzyyz.</p>
<p>I dont care what u guys say, ap chem...chea...no...hard as steel balls.</p>
<p>physics for me</p>
<p>ap chem definitely</p>
<p>i've heard chem and bio are the hardest</p>
<p>AP CHEM, well maybe it was my teacher
but i got a 1 hahaha
i got a 5 on bio and calc and a 1 on chem wow..</p>
<p>Bio? Pfft, definitely not. Never taken Calc BC so I can't say there. Physics C was actually -not- that hard, I just didn't study for it so I'm expecting a 2, haha. No AP is really -hard- unless you just flat out don't know the material, but I'm going to toss in my vote for the foreign Language exams as well. It's just grueling and painful to have to go through listening and speaking and CR and writing and grammar all at once. AP foreign Language makes SAT seem like a pansy test.</p>
<p>My son had AP Calc AB last year and passed the test with a 5, BUT he didn't get any instruction for the BC part of the course. How hard would it be to self study for the BC portion if you have already passed the AB? I think for engineering he will need the AP Calc BC for it to count for any credits.</p>
<p>Chem is def</p>
<p>physics, foreign language, english lit if you're not naturally smart
mostly depends on teacher though</p>

Haha. That made me smile. Though I'm not sure what your connotation of "smart" is :P</p>
<p>^ Mine is Smart = reading Shakespeare without sparknotes</p>

The material on the BC exam follows very naturally from the AB material, so if he has mastered that material then the BC topics will just be advancing what he already knows and should be well within his grasp. In fact, the grade distribution for a 5 in 2007 on the BC exam was just over 40%, but I think that reflects the confidence and intelligence of someone who is willing to take the test in the first place! The one thing that I had to help my classmates the most with, and the only real subject matter independent of AB, was sequences and series. So I don't think it would be hard at all provided he puts in a fair amount of work.</p>
<p>One final note: Most engineering colleges will 'suggest' that students forgo their AP calculus credit due to the somewhat more applied maths used in engineering and they don't want anyone to miss out on vector calculus. This may be aside from your concern though.</p>
<p>I'd say Macro and Micro...because you need like an 80% for a 5...compared to a 60-70% for all the others. I know that econs isn't the hardest thing around, but shifting the grade boundary to 80% makes it so much more difficult</p>
