| Surprisingly... Psych is one of the harder ones.
Calc AB is a b**** and bio is no walk either. Our next hardest are the languages | |

| AP Physics C. The 8 smartest people in the school take it and all fail the teacher's tests. | |

| Calc AB, Stats is easy but the teacher kills people's GPAs with his tests.
Language was hard 1/3 of the time. We have 3 teachers. One is ridiculously easy but his students score low on the AP exam, the other is ridiculously hard but all her students score high since she weeded out the weak. The other is new so we don't know about her students... yet.
AP World History just due to the amount of reading required by the teacher. | |

| AP Calculus (because the teacher gives a ton of homework and there's quizzes almost every day) and AP English Lit (the teacher is a very strict grader). No one seems to complain about AP US, but I think it's hard (the teachers' pass rates are so low). | |

| AP Calculus (AB and BC), because the teacher is horrible and you don't learn much very well. She does inflate grades, though. | |

| Strictly in terms of difficulty, AP Chem and BC Calc. Maybe the AP Lang/Lit classes if English isn't really your thing.
In terms of work load, World History and Bio seem to dominate. | |

| APUSH and Chemistry at my school too.
For AP US a lot of it is because the teacher is a super harsh grader. He has taught AP US for like 15-20 years or something and has like a 99% pass rate on the AP exam. Most kids who get Cs in his class get 4s and 5s on the AP exam. | |

| Chemistry, Physics 2 (Physics C), Music Theory. As far as IB classes, HL seems to be up there too. I'm thinking maybe Computer Science AB (only 2 people taking the class), but it could just be general laziness on behalf of the entire student body. | |

| AP Phys C is hardest material wise, but AP Lit is a close second, but a lot more work than Phys C
In our APUSH you just read the chapter and there are no tests or quizzes. Our teacher thinks that we all deserve a good grade for our effort (which is not that much) so everyone gets a 96%, even the kid who cant tell you who the first president was. | |
