<p>Since we have an 'Easiest class' thread, why not have this one?</p>
<p>My hardest class right now is Anatomy. All we do is take notes everyday. No classwork, no homework, no quizzes. May sound like paradise, but the tests are HARD. Everyone in my class failed the last one; but with extra credit, most of us passed. The one good thing about it is that there's A LOT of extra credit opportunities for your test grades.</p>
<p>AP Economics, without a doubt. Other people at my school don’t find it that hard, but I guess I am not the economics type of person. Nothing ever makes sense to me.</p>
<p>I have to put in a little more time for Chemistry this year. Last year I put in 10 minutes a day for homework and 10 minutes before a test. It’s probably the hardest.</p>
<p>German has always been “hard” for me since I didn’t pick up the fundamentals in German I. I was such a slacker =)</p>
<p>Probably World Literature (I have a low 80 average), which ironically is my favorite and the most thought-provoking class. I tend to be too much of a scatterbrain, which makes so difficult for me to convey my ideas both logically and cohesively in writing.</p>
<p>For this year, it’d have to be AP English Lit. We’ve got one comparative essay and 14 open-ended questions due for tomorrow, all of them announced today.</p>
<p>I would have to say AP government. There’s so much writing. My teacher gives us an essay every weak, practically. The coursework is hard to keep up with.</p>
<p>AP Chem is totally confusing if until lectures.<br>
AP Lang and Comp is apparently the easiest test in the world, but its hard to stay motivated because we’ve been analyzing the same book (the book of a coming of age movie) for two weeks, and its not even that complex.</p>
<p>AP World History. The material isn’t difficult at all - in fact, I find it interesting (at least at this point… modern Western history, which is undoubtedly coming, bores me to death). However, the workload is seriously uncalled for. Every week we read one to three chapters. For each chapter, we have to write four to eight sentence definitions for each of twenty to thirty terms and concepts, and then we have to answer eight to twelve paragraph questions. All fine and dandy, right? Well THEN we have one or two reading activities, which are primary source documents attached to eight to twelve paragraph length questions and one research question (still a paragraph, but oy vey). Then we have a web work or an AP skills assignment. AP Skills are like DBQs or multiple choice packets. A web work is like a one to three page research paper. We have to cite our sources, which is fine, but we also have to complete an entire website evaluation for EACH website used! Then we have a map activity - sometimes it’s just a map or sometimes it’s questions about a map. And then every four to six weeks we have a huge test. Alternating with the tests are exploratory discussion board activities. Unfortunately the teacher is very tough and nit-picky, so if I don’t put in at least 85% effort my grade gets seriously docked. On the bright side, I have a 98% right now. Trying to build up a safety net for when my other classes pick up.</p>
<p>On the other hand, AP Economics (macro and micro, macro right now) is an easier class with material that I just don’t get. But I have a pretty high A, so whatever.</p>
<p>The class is based on 4 tests a year (including the final) and an A- is curved to an 80%. And then each 5% lower is a third of a letter grade. So a B+ is a 75%, B is 70% etc etc…</p>
<p>And even with that curve, only about 20% of the class gets A’s.</p>
<p>My hardest classes are APUSH and AP English Lit online. As is the norm with APs, the material is not challenging, we just have an ungodly amount of work. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I’m owning Honors Bio. I just got my report card–100 for this half of the course. Almost no one has an A and in part because I was one of the few people to actually pass the last test (with a 100 of course) I’ve been asked to teach tomorrow. I dislike the subject of Biology–lol.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB is my hardest class. The teacher is definitely the best teacher I have this year, and I like it enough when we are learning it, but the tests are super hard. And, before each test he gives us like 3 or 4 days to do a huge packet of calc problems that takes forever.</p>
<p>APUSH and AP Bio are also really hard because I constantly have to read and I can get behind really easily.</p>
