<p>Th hArdEst i’vE tAkEn wAs A.P chEm i took A wEEk off of schoo th wEEk beorE thE exAm to study And still only got A 4</p>
<p>Shocking…</p>
<p>This doesn’t reflect too much on the difficulty of the exam, but US Government seemed to have a more normal distribution than the other exams I looked at.</p>
<p>Yeah, chem is a beast. We had about 60 or so kids take it at our school and I so far only know of 2 people who have gotten 5’s. Alotta 4’s though.</p>
<p>i would say English Lang. and English lit. are the hardest b/c you really can’t prepare for them
i would say physics c is the second hardest because the concepts are very harrd to grasp but you can prepare for it</p>
<p>i was suprised by how many people think that chem is the hardest because it is considered one of the easiest APs at our school where most get 4s and 5s, but its mainly due to having great teachers and a very strong chem program</p>
<p>Probably one of the physics is the hardest. Calc AB is a joke. Not because of percentages getting five or anything, but because it’s really easy. Also, US Government is pretty easy. Literature is pretty hard (I had a bad teacher, though, so maybe not.).</p>
<p>AP Physics C is the hardest.</p>
<p>Anybody taking AP Spanish??? It’s ridiculously hard to get a 3 + if you’re not a native speaker. You need to do lots of writing, including writing a DBQ in Spanish this year. Heck, I could barely write one in English… No other AP language test requires this! You also need to be really fluent in order to do well on the speaking part… IMO hardest AP exam ever. Harder than calc BC, Physics C (I’ve taken them both).</p>
<p>Easiest for me would be environmental science.
Hardest would be Calc BC (not good at math) and French language.</p>
<p>calculus is pretty easy. im taking it this year
in our school the overall pass rate for both exams is roughly 80%
i think the english exams are hard cuz u cant really study for it and its mainly practice
but chem is a pain too cuz our school has a crappy teacher and i heard only 2people passed last year
its all depends</p>
<p>Brown man1987, I’m not a native speaker (of both spanish and english) and I am really worried to even pass Spanish II. I’m having Spanish I and it’s just like I feel it really time consuming to really learn how to get used to their conversation and all. So, the last Aps I’ll be considering are the foreign languages. English APs do involve some luck since it tests ur overall comprehension which one should’ve built all thru his/her life. I’m rather thinking of taking English, Chem, Bio and Phy.</p>
<p>The hardest I would say are the language, Calc BC, and Physics.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry is by far the hardest AP test</p>
<p>oh. crap. so im learning the physics c independently and im pretty scared now, hearing everyone say the physics c is the hardest…</p>
<p>curve for physics C is nice though, i heard someone say you can get 19% and still get a 3!
Wow! what a curve!</p>
<p>u need a 30% to get a 3…</p>
<p>ok sorry if im wrong,
but florida boy where did u get the curve (can i see it) where do u get the curves from for any ap tests please post it.
I made a thread about it but no one seems to know (except us history and english language) i have those.</p>
<p>The difficulty seems more related to the teacher. APUSH was by far the hardest class that I’ve ever taken and I got a 2. Many other top-of-the-class students also got 2s. On the other hand I know people that go to a different school and found it very easy. In my mind I thought Physics B wasn’t too bad, but other people think it is one of the toughest. And most people in AP Stats at my school get credit, whereas in a post here earlier someone said people rarely get above a 2.</p>
<p>This is actually one of the problems with AP courses - they’re too inconsistent.</p>
<p>^^
Somethimes the differences between the classes WITHIN each school can be huge! There were 2 AP Euro, 2 AP Eng. Lang teachers and 2 AP us history teachers. My US teacher was pretty bad, and only around 10 out of 60 students took the exam. Bad results. The other US history teacher had around 90% of his students take the exam. Better results. Euro was about the same, only a couple people at my school got 4’s, everyone lower. </p>
<p>My english teacher was a pretty harsh grader, I never got an 8 or 9 on any of the practice Free-Responses we did in class…and we did around 30. The other english teacher hardly read the papers, and gave 8’s and 9’s on almost all of them. Im glad I had the harsher grader, even if I got B’s in the class…because I got a 5 on the AP test…and the other class did pretty badly.</p>
<p>I have to take AP Spanish AND AP Chemistry this year! Oh no!</p>
