Thanks for your help so far.

AP US History at our school is THE hardest course. All my junior friends say it involves lots of reading, studying, and homework.

AP Lang. and Comp. I’ve been told is relatively easy. But I know there’s lots of essay writing.

AP Spanish 4 I’ve heard is really tough, mostly because the amount of studying needed to achieve the language skills.

Honors Physics, I’m not sure the teacher is well known as being quite hard.

It response to coloradogirl I want to take these classes b/c I enjoy an academic challenge and want to get into a really good college (Amherst, Bowdoin, Pomona, Williams). I want to take these classes so I get a feel for what college level courses might be like (even though I’m sure these won’t be as demanding as actual courses at say, Pomona) The “smart” people at our school are just kind of expected to take APs, which is fine with me.
