<p>Out of the AP social studies:</p>
<p>AP World History
AP U.S. History
AP U.S. Government
AP Comparative Government
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Psychology</p>
<p>Which are the hardest?</p>
<p>AP U.S. History definitely has the most in-depth information. ::shudder::</p>
<p>From what I’ve experienced/read…</p>
<p>easy > hard</p>
<p>AP Psychology
AP Macro/Micro
AP World (?)
AP US Government
AP Comparative Government
AP US History</p>
<p>… roughly. A lot of people self study psychology, micro/macro, and I’ve heard of people self studying World and it being easy, but I’m not sure about that one. US Government is pretty easy (most people take the class), but I’ve heard varying things about Comparative, with it being harder than US… and in some cases, easier. AP US is an unpleasant AP, and with my personal experience, probably one of the hardest.</p>
<p>What about Euro? I heard the exam this year was hard.</p>
<p>I think Euro would be right behind APUSH.</p>
<p>I only took AP US but I’ve heard from many of my friends who’ve taken World that it was a pain in the neck, there’s too much memorization going on and since alot of people don’t have any former exposure to Arab/Persian/ Latin American/Asian/African studies, the courseload can be overwhelming but it depends if you’ve got an appitude for liberal arts. I will be taking AP Euro & World History in addition to 5 other exams next year, so if you want to take 'em all go ahead, but remember you’ll have to spend at least 2 hours per night for each AP</p>
<p>Dude, you forgot European History AND Human Geography, which is very similar to sociology, by the way.</p>
<p>My only contribution to this conversation will be to say that I studied for world history for two days and got a 5. If you are a well read person, you will know most of the material on the test already. The same goes for almost half of AP tests.</p>
<p>AP testing is really what you can make out of it. For example, there is no real correlation between good writing and the standardized test offered by the AP program. The funny thing is, you can actually score an “A” for the class but end up with a less-than-satisfactory score on the AP exam. What I really don’t agree with is how the AP exam allows people gain “5s” if they’ve only studied it for a few days instead of a large part of the year, I’ve known some people who’ve taken the AP World class, done “ok” but who failed when testing came. I plan to get a head start on all of the exams I take for May 2007 especially if you plan to take 7 exams (GE prereqs) AP Biology and Chemistry being one of my top concerns for self-study</p>
<p>GayGuy, some people are dumb. So they fail the test even though they’ve studied for a year. Some people are smart. So they can get 5s after a couple of days of studying.</p>
<p>I loved AP Euro and AP US and did well. I got 5s on both. I really love history. And isnt every AP exam memorization?</p>
<p>^^No. The English’s, languages, ab and bc calc, and physics are not.</p>
<p>Ap world history was really HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD…
they had really lame questions with these stupid pictures that didn’t give any information. 
sucked so bad.</p>
<p>I remember one of the questions from my AP euro was look at this goblet. what time period is it from. I’m not kidding. That was the question! And it had some seal on it or something that was a clue as to its period.</p>
<p>what i meant priceless is that all of the AP’s require a great deal of memorization. Including the englishes, calcs and physics exams. AP’s are more difficult to bs through than non-AP exams. Some APs however do require more hard core memorization than others.</p>
