AP

Which is the the hardest AP test taken by Collegeboard (not class)? Please reply based on your own experience rather than what you've heard from others. There are several websites that give different rankings, so I think a poll would be a more reliable source.

AP US History is probably the easiest in this list. Just read the AMSCO, and do the practice problems after each chapter. I ended up with a 4. AP Biology is more about synthesis of information than AP Chem, the latter of which is good if you鈥檙e stronger in math. Personally, physics was harder than biology and chemistry for me. So I assume that AP Physics would be the hardest as it鈥檚 conceptual and involves advanced math.

It really depends on the teacher. I took an easy AP class, did well in the class. Not so well on the test. However, I took AP Physics 1, an amazing teacher, did very well. It all really depends on how well the teacher teaches.

Hi! In my opinion, it may be better to ask students in your own school about the AP difficulties. The difficulty of an AP class largely depends on your school and who teaches it. :)

My school did not offer any APs. I took the AP tests administered by another school without taking an AP class.

I actually intended to ask about the difficulty of the AP test not the AP class.
