<p>i'd say english lit and lang comp.</p>
<p>i'm a slow reader and i form my thoughts more slowly so egh :|</p>
<p>According to the Grade Distribution of a 5, it's AP Government and Politics, with just 6.0% getting a 5.</p>
<p>English Lit is a close second with 7.0%.</p>
<p>Chinese Language and Culture has an 80.9% 5 rate, I wonder why.</p>
<p>Because those chinese (and asians in general) are simply geniuses (or cheaters).</p>
<p>It really depends on the teacher. I had an amazing teacher, and got a 5 on the chem ap, with little work. My ap world teacher was awful, and after alot of work/effort studying by myself, i get a 4.</p>
<p>IMO, world history was alot harder than chem. I felt the concepts were alot harder in world (i know most of you here felt world was an easy ap)</p>
<p>AP euro! but its the only AP i have taken, so i dunno. The test was not bad, but my teacher's tests were crazy hard.</p>

I'm fairly certain it has more to do with the fact that a lot more native speakers take the Chinese test than any other of the foreign languages (or, to be more precise, a greater proportion do, accounting for the fact that though there may be many native Spanish speakers taking the test, there are far more non-native speakers that take that then there are for Chinese).</p>
<p>Calc BC is, by far, the hardest test, I think. Well, that's considering the only other AP I took was European History, which was a piece of cake in comparison. I have heard from others at my school though that these are the hardest two, Euro because it's the first AP you're allowed to take at my school, and Calc BC just because it's hard material. I got 4's on both, which I'm very happy with, probably due to the two fantastic teachers I had. </p>
<p>Physics has a reputation at my school for being an "easy A" class, but I heard that very few people actually pass. Apparently the teacher teaches the AP class the same as he does the non-AP Physics course, so I'm a little scared to take that.</p>
<p>I'm doing summer work for AP Chem right now and I can already tell that the test is going to kill me. Everything else I feel pretty good about. I'm taking quite a few AP's next year, and I think most of the teachers for those classes are very good. Our AP Art History teacher has a 100% pass rate; too bad I'm not taking that one.</p>
<p>AP LATIN, CALC BC, PHYSICS C</p>
<p>Euro isnt that easy either...</p>
<p>In Calc BC forty-something percent of the students score a 5.</p>
<p>AP GERMAN IS HARD.</p>
<p>·@dragontoe, lol sorry i havnt see this thread in ages, so that was like a month ago, uh no,i dont expect to see a grade higher than a 1 because i feel like i deserve a 1 lol... i didn't use prep books ,ahhhh, stupid textbooks ><!</p>
<p>i saw the us government and politics 5 rate is at 6% !!
thats LOW</p>
<p>I thought Art History was ridiculous....</p>
<p>Well, if was that bad then I'm glad I took it at a community college over the summer. I could barely stay awake in that class for six weeks, let alone a whole school year.</p>
<p>Firstly, for non-native speakers, the foreign language exams are by far the toughest AP exams (three hours plus of reading, listening, writing and then speaking is pretty damn grueling). Although I did not find the biology exam hard (I got a 4), the new system of grading the exam with college freshmen taking the same exam to equate the scores cahnges htings up a bit (last year, 2/3 of test takers got a 1, 2 or 3–bsically, for good colleges, none of those people passed out into advanced courses or got credit for Biology 101). On the more subjective front, the AP studio Art portfolios can be grueling too…twenty-four pieces in one year seems easy, but I took over three hundred photos and picked twenty-four in the end. On the grading, art is such a subjective subject that one person might love your art but another grader might say that it is “buffalo bagels.” </p>
<p>Hardness is relative on AP Exams…of course, good preparation will make the exam a good expereince and only people who failed to prepare found the exam hard (or did some other bone-headed thing, like skipping a question on the exam but not the answer sheet).</p>
<p>in the beginning, I thought calc AB would be the hardest exam for me and AP Chem was easier since I was self-studying calc AB. After taking the AP Chem exam, I realized that exam was harder.</p>
<p>So, AP Chem was the hardest exam for me this year.</p>
<p>self studied exams & foreign languages</p>
<p>AP Latin: Vergil - I guess I wouldn’t call it hard, but I will argue that it takes an astronomical amount of time. Translating 1855 lines of latin is one of the most gruelling things I’ve ever done. The good thing is if you have looked over these lines four or five times it’s a guaranteed 5.</p>
<p>These are the ones I took this year in order from easiest to hardest:
Comp Sci AB - this exam is a joke
Calc AB - also pretty easy.<br>
Chem - also easy. I’m not sure why everyone is saying this was impossible… >_>
USH - IMPOSSIBLE. Holy cow. How can you remember such subtle facts!?!?!!</p>
<p>TBH the % who get 5’s or the average exam grade is irrelevant. For example, world history has one of the lowest average grades, but that’s only because so many unprepared sophomores/freshmen take the class.</p>
<p>Hardest would have to be a foreign language. You’re competing against natives which doesn’t help the fact that the exam is already a beast.</p>
<p>I don’t know why anyone is saying chem is hard. They just aren’t good at chem then…lol. </p>
<p>Agreed with MrSudden</p>
