Out of all of the AP exams, which one do you think is the hardest? Easiest?

It really varies between person to person, especially the question of which AP is the hardest, but the general consensus is that Psychology is the easiest and Physics C is the hardest.

I agree with dooit--this topic is very subjective. I thought Calculus BC was the easiest AP test, while the hardest test for me is APUSH.

For me: AP Euro History was the easiest, AP Macroecon was the hardest.

If I took Calculus, Physics...or anything like it...that would be the hardest for me.

In other words, its such a subjective question that it can't be answered correctly or incorrectly.

If you're good at art, I suppose AP Studio Art would be easy... All you do is submit a portfolio right? No questions, no essays, no study time but for preparing a portfolio which could be really fun if you're into art. I'm certainly looking forward to it next year. ^^

Hardest- AP bio. There's a lot of memorization involved.
Easiest- AP Comp Sci (either). My school requires A as a prereq for AB and they're both incredibly easy.

Easiest-Bio or Calc BC, and I think Stats will be pretty easy for me this year
Hardest-so far Comp Sci A, I think I'll be adding Physics C Kinetics and Electricity/Magnetism to the list

It really depends on your personal strengths and the quality of the teacher. See, I'm pretty strong in Science and Math, but I have a first year AP teacher for Physics right now, so it's kinda tough.

I think that AP Physics B is actually harder than AP Physics C (taken B last year, currently taking C). You have to learn physics from scratch in B, but in C you kind of already know what you're doing. Also, Physics C is easier for me because the Physics C teacher at my school is awesome. So my vote for hardest AP exam would be Physics B.

For most, applying calculus is an issue in Physics C (at least that's the problem in my class). If you're good at calculus, it's a breeze.
