AP Classes based on difficulty.

Order the AP classes that you have taken based on difficulty, starting from the easiest!

I would say:
English Lit
American Government
Psychology
Macroeconomics
Spanish Language (about the same as Macro)
Calculus AB

Calc AB was the only one that was really difficult though. The teacher's teaching style completely clashed with my learning style, plus I'm not too math-oriented in general. With all the other ones except Lit, they were mainly time-consuming but not overly difficult. Lit was mostly in-class work that was pretty straightforward, other than outside reading.

Me so far. (I'm a Sophomore).

Spanish Lang.
Human Geo.
Psych.
European History.
World History D:

The teacher in World History was a psycho, really. I also took it during my Freshman year, since it is only offered to 9th graders in my school, which I find idiotic.

If you are reading this thread thinking about which tests to take DO NOT take bio and physics in the same year. The tests are scheduled for the same day. Had to do >7 hours of testing in one day.

Stat
World
Lang
Comp sci
Chem
Bio
Calc AB

These are all pretty subjective though. I'm actually a math oriented person, yet I found AB most difficult because of my teacher's delivery. Chem as a subject is prob the most difficult but my teacher was like the best teacher I've ever had, so it wasn't too bad.

I was well prepared for most of these so taking them wasn't that difficult, but I'm basing it off the breadth and depth of the subject material you need to know and how difficult the questions were.

-Psychology &Environmental Science
-Art History & European History
-Biology
-American History

I haven't really taken any of the very hard ones, so this is just from my experience.
