Are the AP exams really that hard?

Well there is only a 50-60% passing rate. If you actually work hard (read the textbook, prepbook, take multiple practice exams, etc.) then you will probably do fine. They’re not that hard but your teacher has a lot to do with it, ie if you don’t finish your textbook then it’ll be more difficult. The most difficult thing about beginning AP is the questions. Instead of a regular highschool class where it’s mostly simple questions like “Thomas Jefferson was A) a president B) a farmer C) a pop star or D) yo mamma” they ask you much more complex questions so that’s why it’s important to take practice tests.
