At my school, AP Chemistry seems to be the hardest from what I've heard.

I forgot: AP Calculus is also really hard, and people come out of the exam in a daze.

The most difficult class is probably AP Lit. In our AP Literature class, no one gets an A, and very few manage a B. One kid might get that A this year, and he would be the first in quite a few years. The teacher is harsh, and most kids received at least three D's this year on major papers. The average (and mode) grade is a low C-. As for the test though, this teacher has a pretty good pass rate (last year and before was something like 75%). She teaches AP Language and Composition and well, so the situation (and pass rate) is pretty similar. People who care about their GPA tend to stay far from here.

AP Biology is considered "difficult" because all the teacher does is assign busy work, and he rarely tells us when things are do. He's new to teaching AP though and is still figuring things out.

As for the test, I would say AP Spanish Language is the most difficult because very few people actually pass the test. Admittedly, few take it, but I would say our school has about a 10% pass rate for that test. APUSH has a low pass rate as well, but that's because nearly 60 kids take when only about 20 should. Can't make someone pass who doesn't want to.

Actually, at my school, the class that has the worst reputation for failing its students is English 11 Honors (our school doesn't provide AP English until senior year). The class is taught by only one teacher, who has been at the school for over 30 years, and everyone who had her can attest to the sheer pain of that class. Only one or two people get an A, a few more get B's, and the rest are all C's and D's. However, they say if you can survive English Honors, AP English will be a breeze.

Calculus AB

The Physics B teacher never assigns homework. The class is basically graded solely on participation. Everyone gets an A.

WHAP is known for being really hard at my school. Mr. J. really hammers the info into you through reading, packets, tests, etc. But it's rewarding in the end; over half of all the test takers got 5s. Oh, and he took us all out to eat before the test.

APUSH-there is only regular USH or APUSH; only a few (including me) signs up for this class, most go for regular. This year the school had to put people in APUSH so there would be a class next year.

AP Chem- I heard that everyone failed the test last year.
