| AP Calc AB and probably AP Stat (easy subject but teacher is a harsh grader), AP Chem, and APUSH. And AP Lit. Easy class but does not prepare you for the test at all. |

| omgosh arduous you sound like you go to my school. Especially with the Stats and AP Lit. Our teacher was such an airhead/hippy, I had a 95+ all semester, but I doubt I'm at all prepared for the AP test, or anyone.
If anyone gets 4+, it's pure luck. I feel confident solely based on my own talent. I learned nothing in that course. Maybe some poetry terms, but that's it. |

| From what I've heard AP Bio is intense. They have a project due a day before their AP exam. |

| AP Physics is a killer if you haven't taken regular physics first. (If it wasn't for the 20-point curve, half the class would fail.) I've heard AP Stat is hard, but only because the teacher doesn't teach anything. |

| Bio used to be the "scary" course, but the good teacher left this year and I got the one who can't actually teach and doesn't care about the material. Joy. Physics is generally regarded to be a killer, especially if you get the guy who also can't teach (I had him for on-level Physics and he was amazingly boring and often went on off-tangent rambles). The other teacher is supposed to be really hard but fair, though. English Lang is also pretty much considered to be a waste; there are NO decent teachers and most people are buried in make-work all year. AP English Lit has got very good teachers, though. |

| APUSH is known as the GPA killer at my school, there are about 2 A's and 2 or 3 B's per semester. Everyone else gets C's.
AP Chem is the next toughest class, although it's not nearly as hard to get an A as it is in APUSH. |

| AP Biology is definitely the hardest class at my school, in regards to both grading and workload.
AP English Comp is by far the EASIEST AP class. The teacher doesn't assign deadlines, and only assigns little work. I didn't take it, but a few friends of mine did, and they say they just talk and hang out during class. Obviously, the teacher has a horrible pass rate. |

| Ahh yes. AP Chem as well - the grades in that class never reach above a 75 without curves, haha. |

| AP USH (until the teacher left last year)
AP Chem (current one, easy for me, but hard for others, getting higher than 50% earned you a passing grade) |

| AP Chem.
Report Card: 79, 79, 86.
Midterm Class Average (pre-curve that she wasn't gonna give): something in the 60s.
But I think it's more that we have a really bad teacher. |

| Psych is one of the harder ones because of the teachers. APUSH has a reputation for being hard, but's really not. AP World is hard, but only because most of the teachers suck. AP Bio and AP English also have reputations for being hard. AP Spanish depends on the teacher. |
