What is the most popular/easiest/hardest AP in your school?

<p>Most popular is probably AP Gov, there is like 3/4 classes of it. Bunch of people I see that never take AP are in this class…</p>

<p>Most difficult is probably Physics C, I’m not in it, but everyone complains about it.</p>

<p>Popular: AP Physics B (soon to be AP Physics 1 & 2)
Easiest: AP United States Government/AP Macroeconomics
Hardest: AP Music Theory</p>

<p>Popular: APUSH
Easiest: AP ES/ AP Econ
Hardest: APUSH/APBio</p>

<p>Popular: APUSH
Easiest: Environmental Science
Hardest: Calc BC; consensus would say APUSH, but that’s because APUSH is typically most people’s first AP.</p>

<p>Most popular:
APUSH- it’s a core class in my tiny honors high school, though not everyone chooses to take the exam (about 60% do, though)
AP US Gov- basically the same as above, though starting next year it will no longer be a core</p>

<p>Least popular:
AP Environmental- the people who take it enjoy it but only eleven people take it
AP Macroeconomics- after one year everyone had enough and it’s no longer offered</p>

<p>Hardest:
AP Bio- the teacher is murderous- you come out of it either hating the class with your dying breath or absolutely over the moon about it (luckily I was in the latter category)
AP Euro- it’s for tenth graders only and it is, in my opinion, a horrific choice for a first AP (some years, NOBODY gets a 5)</p>

<p>Easiest:
AP US Gov- by this point, everyone’s basically chillin’ (it’s a senior class…)
AP Psych- see above (while it’s not an exclusively senior class like Gov it’s predominantly seniors), and the teacher is a total incompetent which means that class is basically one long goof-off</p>
