@garfieldliker... I, personally, found statistics to be harder than Physics C and Calc BC. If you understand the math in calc bc, it's the easiest math class you'll take in high school. For physics c... Some of the math can be pretty laborious, though doable. But there aren't too many additional concepts you need for physics c if you, say, have taken physics b or a regular physics class, albeit with that concept holding true more for the former. Statistics is basically the unholy love child of math and English. It's unlike any math class you've taken. It's not hard conceptually, but you have to phrase things a certain way. For me, I prefer the purely logical classes such as physics c, so that could explain a lot of my opinion.

Well, I had a stats teacher that basically drilled us into writing our FRQs correctly, so I didn't really find it too difficult at the end.

Just based on how the classes are at my school personally (e.g. workload, difficulty of teacher), not the difficulty of the tests.

Based off the workload. (This is from "easiest" to hardest)

-AP English Language and Composition. The hardest assignment was probably our essay on "Heart of Darkness" or the Cited Persuasive Essay.

-AP United Stares History. We had notebooks due each unit (about two to four chapters apiece) with President Sheets, at least 40 term words, 4 Essential Question, Supreme Court Cases, Movements and Trends, War Summary Charts, Political Parties and other review sheets. We had either a DBQ or FRE per unit as well. And we took three full exams before the actual one. My favorite class thus far. The teacher was AMAZING. We never got much done in class since we spent the whole time talking...

-AP Biology. Chapter packets with an FRE attached to each one. And of course the labs. Extremely challenging but the teacher was amazing and really knows what she's teaching.

-AP European History. Hard only because we take it here as Sophomores and its two periods since its both our history and literature class. AP European History and Literature.

I think it really depends on the specific student's academic weaknesses and strengths though.
