Calculus is a joke. I’ve known elementary schoolers that took it. Plus, the curve is huge. Even if you needed 90% right for a 5 it’d be a total joke. That’s just my opinion, but I’d rank AB as the #1 easiest AP, with BC at #2 and AP Stat at #3. AP Math unfortunately doesn’t go high enough because not enough people are advanced in math, which I think is the biggest failure of our education system.
Bio and Chem are also easy. I’d say the languages are the hardest, because the curve is so unforgiving. I believe French is the hardest, with Latin at the easier end because there’s no speaking portion. This is for non-native speakers, of course.
Besides languages, it’s probably AP Art History, followed by Studio Art, then US Gov. All histories and english have difficult FRQ’s because the grading is somewhat harsh, but both english tests and US and World, and I believe European History have easy MC. Macroeconomics is tricky because the curve is so high. Studio art is really unpredictable.
