What Are the Most Difficult [AP] Courses At Your School?

<p>Calc AB, Stats is easy but the teacher kills people's GPAs with his tests.</p>

<p>Language was hard 1/3 of the time. We have 3 teachers. One is ridiculously easy but his students score low on the AP exam, the other is ridiculously hard but all her students score high since she weeded out the weak. The other is new so we don't know about her students... yet.</p>

<p>AP World History just due to the amount of reading required by the teacher.</p>

<p>AP Calculus (because the teacher gives a ton of homework and there's quizzes almost every day) and AP English Lit (the teacher is a very strict grader). No one seems to complain about AP US, but I think it's hard (the teachers' pass rates are so low).</p>

<p>IB English HL, AP Physics, and AP Government are known to be difficult at my school.</p>

<p>AP Calculus (AB and BC), because the teacher is horrible and you don't learn much very well. She does inflate grades, though.</p>

<p>us govt and chem
bad teachers</p>

<p>Strictly in terms of difficulty, AP Chem and BC Calc. Maybe the AP Lang/Lit classes if English isn't really your thing.</p>

<p>In terms of work load, World History and Bio seem to dominate.</p>

<p>APUSH and AP Chem are killer at my school.</p>

<p>APUSH and Chemistry at my school too.
For AP US a lot of it is because the teacher is a super harsh grader. He has taught AP US for like 15-20 years or something and has like a 99% pass rate on the AP exam. Most kids who get Cs in his class get 4s and 5s on the AP exam.</p>

<p>Chemistry, Physics 2 (Physics C), Music Theory. As far as IB classes, HL seems to be up there too. I'm thinking maybe Computer Science AB (only 2 people taking the class), but it could just be general laziness on behalf of the entire student body.</p>

<p>AP Phys C is hardest material wise, but AP Lit is a close second, but a lot more work than Phys C</p>

<p>In our APUSH you just read the chapter and there are no tests or quizzes. Our teacher thinks that we all deserve a good grade for our effort (which is not that much) so everyone gets a 96%, even the kid who cant tell you who the first president was.</p>

<p>AP Calc AB and probably AP Stat (easy subject but teacher is a harsh grader), AP Chem, and APUSH. And AP Lit. Easy class but does not prepare you for the test at all.</p>

<p>omgosh arduous you sound like you go to my school. Especially with the Stats and AP Lit. Our teacher was such an airhead/hippy, I had a 95+ all semester, but I doubt I'm at all prepared for the AP test, or anyone.</p>

<p>If anyone gets 4+, it's pure luck. I feel confident solely based on my own talent. I learned nothing in that course. Maybe some poetry terms, but that's it.</p>

<p>From what I've heard AP Bio is intense. They have a project due a day before their AP exam.</p>

<p>AP Physics is a killer if you haven't taken regular physics first. (If it wasn't for the 20-point curve, half the class would fail.) I've heard AP Stat is hard, but only because the teacher doesn't teach anything.</p>

<p>Bio used to be the "scary" course, but the good teacher left this year and I got the one who can't actually teach and doesn't care about the material. Joy. Physics is generally regarded to be a killer, especially if you get the guy who also can't teach (I had him for on-level Physics and he was amazingly boring and often went on off-tangent rambles). The other teacher is supposed to be really hard but fair, though. English Lang is also pretty much considered to be a waste; there are NO decent teachers and most people are buried in make-work all year. AP English Lit has got very good teachers, though.</p>

<p>AP Euro and AP Physics C =)</p>

<p>AP Lit, AP Chem, AP Physics C, AP Bio and APUSH for the sheer amount of work</p>

<p>APUSH is known as the GPA killer at my school, there are about 2 A's and 2 or 3 B's per semester. Everyone else gets C's.</p>

<p>AP Chem is the next toughest class, although it's not nearly as hard to get an A as it is in APUSH.</p>

<p>AP Chem, AP Psychics, AP Euro</p>

<p>AP Biology is definitely the hardest class at my school, in regards to both grading and workload.</p>

<p>AP English Comp is by far the EASIEST AP class. The teacher doesn't assign deadlines, and only assigns little work. I didn't take it, but a few friends of mine did, and they say they just talk and hang out during class. Obviously, the teacher has a horrible pass rate.</p>
