<p>AP Biology is considered by many to be the toughest class at my school. Judging by how hard Honors Biology was, I'm inclined to agree (both are taught by the same teachers). AP Spanish, APUSH and AP Physics C are also considered very difficult. What about your school?</p>
<p>I would say IB Chemistry HL is the hardest class in my school but its mostly due to the fact that the students often have to teach themselves the majority of the material since teacher doesn’t really teach :/</p>
<p>Probably AP English Comp (due to the teacher), AP Calc AB, AP Biology, or AP Computer Science</p>
<p>pre-calculus.
definitely.</p>
<p>In terms of students having difficulty, it’s a contest among AP Bio, AP US History, and Honors English III. Although it’s probably due more to the fact that two out of three are junior level classes, and so students might not be used to or prepared for the bigger workloads.</p>
<p>I would definitely vote for AP physics. AP Bio was so easy at my school because we only had about four tests throughout the year (not counting midterm and final) and it was basically reading the textbook on your own.</p>
<p>Trigonometery-Logaritihms-Calculus, its one class, and no one has ever gotten an A, ever.</p>
<p>AP Physics/AP Bio.</p>
<p>
It should be trigonometry/logarithms/precalculus and then Calculus. I’d venture to guess that the curriculum design is responsible for everyone’s lack of an A in the class.</p>
<p>AP English Comp</p>
<p>^^how can you manage to fit all three in one year?</p>
<p>AP Euro, APUSH, AP Bio.</p>
<p>IB Physics because in my class for year two, only 3 or 4 students got As for the quarter (that bunch includes me!)
I haven’t taken IB Biology, but I have heard complaints from students about that class.</p>
<p>AP Euro, AP USH, AP Chem, and honors precalc :P</p>
<p>
That’s what I’m wondering about trigonometry, logarithms, and calculus. Precalculus, however, integrates very well with trigonometry and logarithms for a year-long course.</p>
<p>Specifically, it can start with algebra review, then go to logarithms, then trigonometric functions, then trigonometric identities, then systems of equations / matrices, then introductory concepts in statistics, then analytical geometry, then limits.</p>
<p>I would think that’s a lot of material to fully digest in one year o.O No wonder no one ever gets As :P</p>
<p>Students who elect to take the trig log calc class have a choice of that or precalc (tri log calc being a higher level honors class), but taking either gets you into AP Calc.</p>
<p>AP Euro is by far the hardest right brain class. It’s a misnomer really. The teacher makes it College level western philosophy + History. The class average last year when I took it was like, a 70, and on tests, a 55 =[ One quiz it was a 32% average! We averaged a 4.7 on the exam though! And I’ve never learned more in a class. It’s def my fave class in high school so far, and my fave teacher. </p>
<p>AP Physics is the hardest left brain class. I’m taking it this year, so I don’t know too much about it yet.</p>
<p>AP Chem is the hardest math/science class and AP Physics comes close, according to those who have taken both. APUSH is the hardest non-math/science class. (And I’m taking both at the same time next year… fun.)</p>
<p>In my (former?) school, the hardest course would have to be Instrumentation and Automation, followed by honors precalc.</p>
