What are the hardest AP's?

<p>World?
US?
Spanish?
English 11,12?</p>

<p>Physics C, both parts</p>

<p>World I self studied and I"m almost sure I got a 4/5.
US was not difficult for me, but it is for many others.
English Language was not difficult for me, and was not difficult for most in my school. Historically we average a 4.1.
No word on Spanish or English Lit as I have not taken them yet.</p>

<p>My senior friends say that Physics C and Calc BC are the hardest classes for them, but both exams have generous curves.</p>

<p>LOL at Calc BC being the hardest. I heard that French’s curve was brutal.</p>

<p>Oh my gosh french IS brutal. If you get a 3 you’d be very lucky. Actually, pretty much all the foreign languages are really hard unless you’re fluent in them. But I think the Asian languages are easier cuz some colleges want a 5 in, for example, Chinese while a 3 in French.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Any language test, as others have said, has a harsh curve since one must compete with native speakers taking the test. The exception is Latin, but that’s supposedly difficult too.</p></li>
<li><p>This sounds obvious, but it depends on what your strengths are. I found English a breeze but struggled against and probably failed Calculus AB. Most people here find Calculus easy, though. Typically the harder ones I’ve heard about are Computer Science, Physics, and Chemistry (and I can confirm the last one).</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Probably French if you’re not a native speaker. Hardest test + (extremely) harsh curve = sadism. Same goes for Spanish and German, but I don’t think those are as brutal as French.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that Physics C is pretty difficult, but the stats seem to contradict this. Then again, people who take it are mostly prospective scientists and mathematicians.</p>

<p>To me, APUSH test was a joke. That’s definitely not the hardest. I think the other histories are not any harder, but I didn’t take them.</p>

<p>English was somewhat difficult for me since I’m not an English person. But I’m confident that I got a 4 at least, so this can’t be a hard test. I didn’t even take an AP English class.</p>

<p>Chemistry was also a joke for me. I am sure I got a 5 on it unless I made careless errors on the free response. No way is this a hard AP.</p>

<p>I self-studied Calculus AB and I expect a 4. This is not a hard AP. I assume the same for BC.</p>

<p>I think Chemistry and Computer science are easy. APUSH is not that bad since it’s the most widely taken AP and has a pretty decent curve.</p>

<p>Foreign Language tests are pretty bad for non-natives, while French has THE worst curve of them all (if not for all AP tests–I think the economics tests have worse curves…).</p>

<p>Physics C is pretty difficult, though it has a pretty generous curve.</p>

<p>European History is difficult in the sense that it’s about 600 years of history you need to know in detail, and the curve isn’t all that nice.</p>

<p>In the same manner, Art History (though I’ve never taken it) is 3000 years (I think) of art history that you need to know in detail.</p>

<p>In the end, though, I think it depends on the student.</p>

<p>Out of the exams I have taken, AP European History.</p>

<p>Physics B all the way.</p>

<p>But I have not yet taken AP Physics C exams.</p>

<p>From the APs offered at my school, students seem to agree that Physics C is by far the most difficult, followed by Chemistry. I haven’t taken either of those, but my friends who have taken them say they are very difficult. I guess it just depends on what your strengths are.</p>

<p>HARDEST</p>

<p>English Lang
English Lit
Biology
Euro History
Physics C: E&M
United States History
Chemistry
Physics B
Physics C: Mech
Computer Science
Calculus BC</p>

<p>EASIEST</p>

<p>As you can see, this is biased against the humanities lol. But this is appropriate for someone who is a more quantitative learner.</p>

<p>Im a Soph and I toke AP World. Its not a very popular AP being as most school require all students to take World History as a Soph whether it be Standard, Honors, GT, or AP</p>

<p>French is the hardest without a doubt.</p>

<p>AP Euro = EASY! I got a 5 but I’m a history person.</p>

<p>Hardest? Stats, it straight up KILLED me, I didn’t know anything on that test and my score can most definitely be attributed to my major FAIL of a teacher:)</p>

<p>From what I heard Physics C - E & M and Latin. (past students from my school who matriculated to Ivies/Stanford)</p>

<p>How about Physics B?</p>

<p>I thought Physics B was really easy (especially this year) and that Euro was a *****. It really depends on the person.</p>

<p>

I think it just depends on the test. I remember the 2008 test being extremely hard, especially in comparison to past ones that we’d practiced in class.
Plus…it honestly depends on the test taker. If you’re a math/science-y person, it’ll be a breeze. If you’re not…good luck :)</p>

<p>Okay, I thought French was a nightmare but still somehow ended up getting a 4…even having absolutely bombed the speaking portion. I took the test after taking IB French SL (which definitely covers different stuff than AP French does). My advice: use Barron’s to make sure that you know all the nitpicky grammar stuff and practice pratice practice the speaking.</p>
