<p>AP Chem is infamous at my school for being the hardest class. I didn’t take that class but I did find AP Biology to be, hands down, the hardest class I’ve taken.</p>
<p>AP Biology. It’s hell.</p>
<p>AP Bio, AP Chem, & APUSH</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC.</p>
<p>AP Art History.</p>
<p>Haven’t taken it but staying awake would be a problem.</p>
<p>Gym, for me.
I’ve taken all the hard classes at my school (I’ll grant that there aren’t many), and that’s the only class I ever got a B in.</p>
<p>In my school its Spanish 11 Honors (junior year course). As an international school in a Spanish speaking country, most students have a decent to good grasp of Spanish, but their Spanish grammar is lacking. In this class the teacher pushes you out of the comfort zone of easy spanish classes into a mess of some of the best literature ever written (Borges, Marquez, Cervantes) and forces you to learn to write good, publishable essays, not cute 5 paragraph essays in which the introduction is the same as the conclusion. We cover most of the AP Spanish Lit course and more (i.e. the entire Quixote when the course requires just a handful of chapters). The students that take this class move on into AP Spanish Lit, in which we cover the rest of the course and move on into non-spanish and non-english literature like The Metamorphosis. The teacher is also a textbook editor so she can pinpoint any and all grammatical mistakes and incoherence. Not getting a 5 on the Spanish Lit and Spanish Lang exams after taking her class is unheard of.</p>
<p>Its harder in content and grading than any other class in my school, by a long shot. Its the only class that is capable of frightening even the more studious and intelligent students away because of the harm it does to the GPA, except for the few brave souls.</p>
<p>AP English Language… For someone like me, but I passed the AP test, so one less possibility of not getting an A in college!</p>
<p>So 95% of your grade is essays and 5% is vocabulary. You need a 95% to get an A. This means that you must get 8s-9s on half of the essays you write while also doing well on the vocabulary tests. I never got a single 8 or 9, nor do AP exam graders give them out that easily, cept people in my class / school that say it is easy can just write…</p>
<p>AP Lang and Honors Pre-Cal</p>
<p>I consider myself to be a really strong English student, but I worked my ass off both semesters to barely manage a 90 average. I easily got a 5 on the AP exam though.</p>
<p>For Honors Pre-Cal, every math teacher in my school says that its easily the hardest math class offered at my school - more-so than Calc BC. The Pre-Cal teachers are geniuses, and they pull some freaky mind games on their math tests.</p>
<p>Organic chemistry, linear algebra, ap physics c, and law and morality. Teachers make it so only 2 people get A’s, 4 B’s, rest C’s, D’s and F’s</p>
<p>^Wow, your school must be very competitive! My hardest class is also Linera Algebra :)</p>
<p>It depends at my school.</p>
<p>Most amount of work required to get an A? Definitely APUSH. I didn’t find it particularly difficult (got all A’s across my two years) but it was a lot of reading and studying. Always top of my priority list every night.</p>
<p>Hardest in general? Anything taught by the teacher I had for honors Algebra II and honors Chemistry. I ended the year with a 93 (the lowest A at my school) in Alg and a 92 (highest B) in Chem. He also taught AP Chem and many students didn’t have the best grades and my friend got his first C in AP Stats. Yeah, he made that supposedly easy class difficult.</p>
<p>And I’m also assuming AP Bio and AP Physics are hard in their own right.</p>
