I feel you guys, my grade in that class is really good and I understand the material easily, but there is soooo much work. My teacher just assigned a 50+ page ap test review test grade that is due whether youâre taking the test or not.
I have a friend who failed half the year and got a 4 on the test. I feel like AP human is hard due to the fact itâs a class that freshmen take and that smarter older students might find it easier, ig?
@@livispuzzled as someone taking ap chem apush ap lit and regular precalc before it becomes ap, ap chem especially is very tough but you will be fine i think
I think the actual teachers make or break AP classes. My AP Euro teacher got me so overwhelmed I dropped out of that class, but AP Bio with my teacher had me doing great and influenced my entire career path.
Funny, basically everyone agrees that my AP euro teacher is the best teacher in the school by a long shot, just so chill and makes it such a great experience.
Didn't have Latin in our school, and our music department bragged about having $1M in their war chest. What posh place did you go to. Also what period of Latin did you study?
took latin since 5th grade but the AP Curriculum was still hard af for me. somehow got lucky with the analytical essay prompt (likely saved my score) đ
@Manga Realm thatâs absolute bullshit, AP Chem has also a lot of calculation and if you donât know at least pre calc then youâre fuck, as someone who got a 4 on the AP exam.
You just need to have a good foundation of chemistry, you definitely can do this!! Most my students are afraid of ap chem, but they did well at the end
@@masterball999gaming4 Exactly. People usually ask me about AP test or class difficulty and the only thing I can comment on really is class workload. In terms of exam difficulty, I don't think I'm very good at assessing its difficulty for others -- easy exams I sometimes think are relatively challenging and hard exams I consider mostly easy.
It depends. If u ask me if calc or physics was hard I would say no bc Iâm good at math. But if u asked another person who was good academically but not the best at math theyâd say it was difficult. U canât judge the difficulty of a subject based on other ppls opinions, it all depends on the persons skill set

@@ezequielperez8535 well Iâm not really a foreigner, Iâd just been outside the US for middle school đ tbh I might as well had been a foreigner bc I came from a different school system too, so I had no idea how anything worked
@@Jacobkrukas3482 Yeah, I didn't agree to taking AP seminar. My school just didn't switch me out since they only had about 22 students total for the course. đ
God damn this comment section has let me know how lucky I am. AP Lit is literally just a normal English experience at my school. Very chill and not that much workload. Most of my classmates show up late everyday and barely read and everyone has above an 85. Even with all this our teacher is still making sure we're all set for the AP exam.
On the flip side, AP Human Geo is such an intensive and work heavy class that most people quit doing AP classes after it because they assume that every AP class is going to be like it. MINIMUM of 4 hours of homework every night. They literally warn Freshmen who take that they probably will 0 free time.
The easiest AP is the one that you are good at, and the hardest one is the one that doesn't make sense to you. Honestly, there are way too many factors that go into if a class is easy or not. Past experience, natural understanding, quality of teacher, etc.
I agree with the factors part, but you could be really good at calc and still flunk the ap exams. The exams are nothing compared to what you are originallyâgood atâ.
Yeah I found Spanish Lang to be super easy. Iâm also taking Lit and Psych right now, and those arenât too difficult, however Human and World I hated a lot:
Music theory should really be in the âdependsâ category. I have perfect pitch and a big music background, so I took it as a freshman and easily aced everything, got a 5. Other people really struggled to get the concepts that were already hard-wired into me. Itâs not fair but it is the definition of a âdependsâ class.
Same, I was the only guy in the class and we managed to finish in a semester when itâs designed for a whole year. It can be pretty easy to just know your stuff and blow through it all
@@shuatock8216 I feel like we couldâve gotten everything down in a semester, too, but the class was very chill and slow-paced. We spent much of our time practicing with the figured bass/roman numeral thing, then by the time we got to the actual AP multiple choice in March 2020, COVID happened and the exam was online, didnât really learn anything else that year. The exam was just a figured bass question, a Roman numeral question, and 2 sight-singing questions. It was a weird year.
That sounds like you were just really advanced going into it. Itâs like if you took AP Spanish when you already speak Spanish, these rankings arenât for people like you theyâre for the average student
@@swagger5455 Yes but what Iâm saying is that AP Music Theory usually IS like AP Spanish for someone who speaks Spanish already. If you donât already know a lot of theory, itâs very unlikely youâll ever take it anyway. For the average person, AP Music Theory would potentially be the hardest one there is since it skips a lot of stuff that youâre assumed to already know. Like, A LOT
I think the biggest factor to the difficulty of a course is the teacher you end up having. All of the APâs listed in âdrop outâ were ones I took but was fortunate to have very good teachers for. The material isnât easy per-say, but a good teacher will make it feel very doable!
Thatâs 100% true. People generally see APUSH as pretty hard but it was one of my easiest classes last year. Pretty much got all the info I needed in class and had barely any homework. Teacher made it ridiculously easy to do well on dbqs because he had a ridiculously formulaic approach to them. Like you knew the entire structure, sentence by sentence, before getting the prompt.
My current AP Calc AB teacher, according to my entire class (myself included,) doesn't explain the concepts any well. He also makes a LOT of mistakes despite having the answer sheet with him... but this isn't particularly what makes me upset. It's that whenever we ask anything about the steps or what did he did, we get hit with the "You learned this before so I won't explain."
On the flip side, some AP teachers are really good but unempathetic teachers. They are great at teaching but will ruthlessly throw unrealistic amount of assignments like you have no other classes to focus on. I had two of these ppl. I think they do this to make sure they get their students get good scores but some of it definitely should have been extra credit or something- wayyyy too much.
The only true AP class I took was Spanish language we have a way better program called college in the highschool but it gives guaranteed credit if you pass with a 70. But the point is yes it absolutely depends on the teacher, I dropped out halfway through the year not because of the material but because the teacher drove me crazy and did a terrible job in general.
I 100% agree. I got a 5 on APUSH last year while now, I feel like Iâm BSing my way through Seminar. My APUSH teacher really helped me think historically while my Seminar teach is sometimes as clueless as us (which I donât entirely blame on her since this is the first year we have Seminar in our school)
@@zKavv Fortunately it doesn't mean much where I live but yeah Browning will crush you. What's so weird is that I am now doing the same quality of work and now getting 100%, 98%, and 100% on the past 3 assignments respectively. Makes no damn sense. I honestly think she just likes to crush dreams.
As someone who is taking AP Chemistry, Donât even consider taking the class if you donât have a well-above average memory and good math skills. If you lack either of those (like me), it will be a grueling uphill battle from day 1 to the last day until summer break.
Ap chemistry is the only ap class ive ever taken. I think it's definetly hard and this is coming from a kid with a gpa of 3.6 but I don't think it was that bad just stay focused but if you are looking into GETTING A LIFE then you will die :). Im passing the class with a high A and i think I did really good on the exam but yea. I also took honors chem though and got the same teacher so I knew what to expect. Most of my class never took honors chem so it really just comes down to if you have the time and dedication. personally i never really studied for the ap exam itself, because my ap chemistry class was harder than the actual exam.
I've taken both AP Lit and lang and they're honestly pretty easy exams to pass. The classes themselves can be a lot of work but conceptually they're not complicated
Just talk about Frankenstein and you are good for AP lit. For AP lang, just write with a similar structure and you are golden. I cannot read for shit, so I would get like a 40% on the MC, and then just write 7-9s on the essays. Passed both AP exams that way.
College student here: don't take AP lit, just wait until college and take English composition. Especially if you're going to a large university, professors usually have specialty classes that take care of the credit. I took an English composition class with the topic of: "Superheros and monsters, and the relation between the two." Really fun class, easy A. My final paper was an analyst between Raiden and Senator Armstrong, and their relations with collectivism and individualism respectfully.
As a lit student Iâm feeling this hard with exam day approaching. I was expecting the class to be like 40% nonfiction and 60% fiction and mostly based around how to dissect and construct stories along with general improvements on your ability to write. Instead itâs mostly been some short stories with a lot of poems mixed in, almost all of which have been fiction, the only one which wasnât being a poem I was allowed to choose for an essay. Donât get me wrong, I like reading and I got a 5 on the language exam but the shear volume of anachronistic stories and specifically poems is ridiculous. The poems specifically tend to be very subjective in their meaning and tone and it can often lead to really conflicting opinions on a text, and if your option doesnât align with a test makerâs youâre screwed. The best example of this I can think of is the poem I chose for one of my essays, âthe Foggy Dewâ, by Charles OâNeill. âThe Foggy Dewâ can and has been interpreted to have two VERY different meanings over its one hundred year existence, as either an incredibly solemn poem focusing on the loss of a failed rebellion, or as a hyped up nationalist call to arms to rebel against colonial rule. Both interpretations are correct but only one can effectively be put on a testing sheet and so if you choose one your wrong on the other. Iâve seen this for plenty of poems in the class thus far and I honestly view it as somewhat stupid especially since many of these poems are from a time before we had standardized writing and so the older forms of English and writing needlessly complicate things on top of the already difficult material. I spoke to one of my former AP teachers, who also happens to teach 12th grade English, and she wasnât surprised at the volume of older works but openly voiced he discontent at it alongside mine. Itâs not a good way to get kids interested in the subject and it actively turns them away and I can say from personal experience that I havenât gained much as a writer from this class that I didnât already learn through independent reading or through AP English language which did a much better job at what AP Lit fails to do. The class is far to archaic and that makes it needlessly difficult in what should be a relatively easy subject. Kids wouldnât have a problem taking an AP course like this if they could analyze modern rap songs, movies, and TV shows. Writing has evolved since the days of Shakespeare and we donât need to rely on stage plays and poems to teach kids when theyâre already 400 years ahead of it.
@@motivationallizard6644youâre making it sound a lot more complicated than it is and honestly just sounds like youâre getting lost in the sauce. Ap lit was one of the easier aps for me because everything is so formulaic. The essays are the same thing over and over. The only time you have to think is when you expand on evidence
My AP Lang teacher is someone Iâll never forget. She was absolutely brutal and wouldnât hesitate to tell you your writing sucked. That being said, she prepared us so well for the exam that I was almost worried about how suspiciously easy it was. Shoutout to you, Ms. Taylor.
I also had a somewhat tough AP English Language and Composition teacher in 12th grade. For starters, I had to read 25 to 30 pages at home on average a day (which took me 30 to 35 minutes a day[I try to read carefully]). In addition, I had to doing reading plus reading comprehension, writing or vocabulary homework (some of the esoteric 12th grade vocabulary words I learned in that class were: deleterious, esurient, surreptitious, colloquial, conflagration, sybarite, venerable, idiosyncrasy, panacea, penurious, etc.). In other words, I spent nearly an hour on AP Language and Composition class at home nearly everyday. Furthermore, for essays, he was strict on formatting (usually he wanted either MLA or APA or Chicago formatting), page count (first essay was 4-5 pages and the final essay/research paper was 7-8 pages), sources for research papers (he does not want us to use Wikipedia or any source similar to Wikipedia or use any kind of corporate news media as sources), and submission time (if you were late to class and handed your essay to the teacher, he is going to mark 10 percentage points off your essay and this was the first offense). Second offense, he will not accept the essay and you get a zero. Third offense, and you fail the class. Plus, for 4-6 page essays, he gave us 2-3 days to write. For 7-8 page essays, he gave us 4-5 days to write. I learned a lot from my English Language and Composition teacher's class and it did prepare me for college.
@hsAndDreams --- I got a B- the first semester and a C+ (second semester) in that class (both semesters) and got a 2 on the exam and I was not even slacking off. Also, at my high school and if you were in 12th grade for English you had three options for English: 1. the regular 12th grade English. 2. AP Language and Composition which I went with (11th graders can also take that class too). 3. AP Literature and Composition which was the hardest option (I would not recommend this option unless if you really are good at English and enjoy English. Also, the English Department strongly recommended students pass AP Language and Composition before taking this class.) That said, AP Language and Composition class did prepare me for college level English.
@@rorymax yeah, I took my school's stats course. The reason why I got a 1 was because I was never able to understand the material, so half way through the year I started doing the bare minimum to maintain an acceptable grade. When studying for the ap test, I realized I retained absolutely no information, so I just took the L.
AP Physics classes are super easy. Just don't actively avoid it. When you're in a car, just ask: "Hey, what's the equation for centripetal acceleration? Ok. Yeah". It's like you get to study just by existing. Ridiculously easy
wow thats interesting to hear. the core concept of using 12 variables and assigning them values based off of their distance between one another in a list is super basic the problem may have been your teacher or you just didnt care about the class as much as other math classes
I skipped AP lang into lĂt due to a scheduling issue, and it was breeze, even after coming into the course 6 weeks late, got a five. However, I had literally the best teacher one could ask for.
AP Lit and lang really depend on whoâs teaching it. I basically was on autopilot AP lang all year and got a 4 with an A for the year as my class grade and lit is going about similar rn. They are annoying classes in the way that they both take massive amounts of linear repetition to improve and I imagine from what I hear many teachers are missing that element
It also depends on the student's reading and writing level. If anyone did well on the SAT and/or ACT reading and writing, then AP Language and maybe AP Literature is going to be a breeze for them. Also, at my high school, high school seniors can take AP Language as a substitute for AP Literature or regular 12th grade English. I know I got a C+ in AP Language and Composition but I got a 2 on the AP exam in my senior year. Books that I read in my senior year for my AP Language and Compositon class: "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe and "On writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King. While I did not pass the exam, it prepared me for Freshman Composition in college.
Iâve also heard music theory is incredibly difficult. The tests are apparently like⊠6 hours long? And you have to have multiple music credits to get into the class.
itâs closer to the language classes than any other. thereâs 75 MC, half are aural (listening) and the other are non aural. then thereâs 9 FRQs, the first four being different types of dictation (you hear something then have to write it), then 3 composition ones, then 2 sight singing. done one. by. one. you have to have prior musical knowledge to even understand the basics of the class. and most colleges donât even take the credit, even if you get a 5. that shit is crazy man
i just took it and it was extremely difficult it was around two hours for me because there were 3 other people in the class that being said if you have a 30 person class sight singing itself is around 10 mins per person so yeah it could be long (because you canât leave and have to wait in a room) also most of the test is on CD so that can be a bit of a challenge for proctors etc
Itâs definitely one of the âupper levelâ AP classes. Itâs hard even for those with a music background because most high schoolers are not that conscious of their ear. (Which is a way of saying most people canât really hear stuff they think of and then get that out into physical space) I took it senior year and got a 5 but only because I took college theory and jazz harmony at the same time and even before. Thatâs kinda the hard part, the average high school musician regardless of skill on their instrument will still probably fail The majority of non-musicians will fail. Itâs an incredibly unfair course but itâs a great class for those who want to go into music as a major and have a better than most grasp.
I barely passed the AP music theory exam with a 3 which Im proud since it was during online classes...but the test took like 4-5 hours from what i Remmember...there was a written portion, a multiple choice portion, and a listening/singing portion
I dare you to try IB⊠I switched from an AP to an IB school so Iâve taken both AP and IB classes and lemme just say, IB is fucking crazy in comparison to AP.
AP Chem was living hell, but it made chemistry in undergrad so much easier. I also had a former college professor of biochemistry at my HS (long story). Anyways he taught both preAP and AP Chem and most people hated him, but after a while you could tell he really cared. He said if you can pass my class youâll pass everything that comes your way. Hell even some of the people who failed his class went onto do better later. He said I want you all to focus on learning more than a grade. Albeit he had a policy of in the preAP chem class if you got below a 80% then he wanted a conference with your parents. He did that on every exam. A lot hated that of course cause itâs embarrassing, but he really wanted to help us. He even said I could care less if my students dislike me if I can get them to be successful then that makes it all worth it. I canât thank him enough I still keep in touch with him due to grad school and he always asks how well Iâm doing. Also his personality is kind of like a toned down Rick Sanchez so outside of school he was cool to talk to.
@@railx2005yeah. People still complain about him from time to time. Sometimes to annoy me cause Iâm one of the few that like him. I always think well Iâm in pharmacy school about to make $$$ while youâre working at McDonalds or Hardeeâs but go on. When I decided to be a tutor to the preAP chem students my senior year of HS one of the kids I was tutoring didnât feel safe at home with his abusive parents. This teacher of mine told him âIâll get you to a safe place if you want me to I canât take you in, but if things get bad Iâll get the authorities to help you get to a safe place.â This teacher was a marine and is a great man. I donât care what anyone thinks. I wish more teachers cared like he does. The world would be a much better place. I was blessed to have him as my chemistry teacher.
i think you learn chem way better during undergrad than in hs. i remember taking chem honors in hs and saying nah I hate chem, didn't bother taking ap chem. during undergrad, i killed chem so easily and it became my fav subject right next to ochem/biochem. in med school, this translated to me liking pharm because a lot of the fundamentals of pharmacology rely on them. tldr i dont recommend any ap classes to prep u for college cuz college classes are just easier than ap tests
I got a B in AP US History. I got a 1 on the test. Free response questions and my inability to write a short essay on the spot killed me. Also took Psych and Stats, a 2 and a 1, respectively.
Damn my school made you take biology and chemistry before that class and get at least a B in both. It would be so hard to do that without those classes first, itâs such hard material I definitely believe that you cried. Thatâs the only AP exam I ever completely gave up on and stopped answering the questions on. I got a 1 đ
Recently took the exam, but I kind of dropped the course after unit 3 cause me and the teacher had a bit of falling out and I just couldn't endure her. I still wanted to take it though cause I thought it would be easy. I ended up having to cram seven units worth of information in just three weeks cause I didn't allocate my time well enouugh and didn't have enough time to solve as much practice problems as I wanted to. I don't know how well I did, I might have passed, since I did have a pretty good understanding of the content by the end of that three week cram session but it was absolute hell. I feel lucky that I was able to comprehend a good majority of the questions at all. If your college major has nothing to do with science or chem, just drop the course.
â@@greekyogurt5014 learn the theory of how music has sounded good in the past and how to write your own "music" using those same 8th century procedures. It's like a math and a history class built into one. These "procedures" can be thought of like math theorems, and there are a LOT of them. You need to be able to memorize them and apply them as you see fit. On top of these procedures, you need to make the music fit with the time signature, the key signature, follow proper chord progression guidelines, invert/change the standard arrangement of chords, etc. etc. These things are also taught in the class, but you're expected to have prior knowledge about some of them. The exam consists of general questions, music-writings, audio excerpts which you have to answer questions based on, like what kinds of procedures were used and whatnot, and there is even a "sight-singing" section where you are given a sheet of written music and you have to sing it right then and there, without an instrument. To say it was hard is an understatement.
Currently taking AP Chem. Honestly been keeping the range from 85-95 in my class I feel like it honestly depends on the person but I do understand how itâs a hard class.
That class pisses me off becuase I know I would've loved it so much had it been in person but it sucked so much over zoom. Labs were atrocious since we were just watching thebteacher do it trhoughbterrible video qualith, and also we blitzed throughh the content at an insane pace since the school distric decided to change smesters to trimesters that year for no reaso, a decisio that made it so all AP Classes would only be taught during the first and second trimester; obviously, the decision worked against every AP student so bad, as so many classes didnât even come close to finishing the content *cough cough apush only got to the Industrial Revolution cough cough* while others like AP Chem finishing way too quickly (we were done with equilibrium before winter break).

I only took one AP class, and it was AP music theory. One thing that we had to do was to learn all the different intervals (ascending and descending) by ear, and we were tested on it. So, theyâd play two notes, one after the other, and youâd have to know what the gap was between the two notes. I would spend so much time in the computer lap using the Aurelia program (this was in 2006-2007) just listening and practicing over and over that listening skill. We also had to write 4-part music with the correct chord progressions with NO PARALLEL FIFTHS. And we had to be able to sight read and sing for the AP exam, which wasnât a big deal for me since I have a choir background, but people in my class who were in band or orchestra were less confident about it. It was hard, but I learned so much about music.
If APWH is ânot badâ, Iâm terrified for âsend prayersâ APUSH đł Update: yâall I just took my APUSH exam and I think I did well! Definitely harder for me, but thatâs because I process big themes better than specific events

I say AP Chemistry should be in the Send Prayers list or in the drop out list. If anyone have good math skills and did well on high school chemistry, it would be send prayers for those people. If not, then definitely drop out from this class and take General Chemistry in college. I would also put AP Biology in the Send Prayers or in the drop out list. If you did well in high school biology and high school chemistry, I would send prayers for you. If not, then drop out or do not take the equivalent of this class until college. I had a friend who said his first semester of college biology was the equivalent of AP Biology in one year.

I would definitely put AP Lang in the drop out section, especially for my school. Iâm taking both AP Chem and Physics C Mech, and they are not even close to the difficulty of AP Lang here.
I think AP world history is a lot harder than you say it is especially if you have only taken AP HUG or no AP classes before. It also depends on the teacher. The reasons for this are that if your teacher doesnât really teach you how to do SAQâs, DBQâs, and LEQâs (like mine) then the test is gonna be terrible, plus it just depends on if you have a good teacher or not.

Lol. Since itâs relatively new they MASSIVELY changed the grading from year to year. The year before I took it, 75% of our class of 35 people got 5s. My year, only 3 people got a 5, and most were 3s. That being said, the Capstone Diploma is idiotic and neither class taught me a thing
I took both when they were brand new at my school and they gave me mental breakdownsâŠ.but I was also the first one with a capstone diploma so thatâs pretty cool
Bro my AP theory class was like literally impossible for everyone that didnât have perfect pitch (which isnât something you can learn) because my teacher didnât teach us at all about ear training or sight singing, and just expected us to know how to practice (and actually practice) every single day. I got a 100% in the class because Iâm good at learning what the teacher covers, but I got a 2 on the AP test. He literally didnât even tell us there was an app they used for sight singing and wasnât there the day we took the test because he had to ârake his grassâ (direct quote)
I disagree cus I remember theory being mostly focused on the visual aspects of written music. And it really depends on your teacher. Only one kid in my theory class had perfect pitch, I have relative. You do have to have a good ear but since they give you a starting note for the sight reading it isnât necessary. It comes down to being disciplined and actually practicing at home. Being a pianist or singer definitely helps.
@@bookwormd8627 I went in as a percussionist who learned keyboard by myself enough to write some stuff in Logic Pro. I could read treble clef easily and knew the middle line was D on bass clef. Thatâs about all I had going in.
AP music theory is really one of the only APs on this list that just basically rely on how knowledgeable and familiar you are with music to determine if you do well. like someone with 8 years experience on piano and violin as well as being an established vocalist is going to have an easier time than joe the guitar player who thought it would be an easy class.
as someone who took an AP art class, I thought it was very difficult. It doesnât seem like it would be, but setting your own assignments, coming up with your own time limits, creating a premise and making 15 pieces based around it and working for an entire year to finish it, only to submit it and be graded on a scale of 1-5 was pretty hard. Im in art school now and I would say that the ap class was about the same level of difficulty.
I agree with everything except that it's 15 pieces, it's not necessarily 15 whole finished pieces you're able (and encouraged) to add process pictures, slides, and revision items which definitley takes a load off and makes sense with how the written questions are built.
The difficulty didnât even come from your ability to do art, it was more from your ability to time manage yourself over an entire school year with all the other things you also need to do. Everyone in my class was competent at drawing but almost all of us had terrible time management and working habits which made the class painful for everyone
Donât let the difficulty of AP Physics C scare you. If your school has a good teacher like mine did, I think youâll be ok. Personally, AP Physics C was my favorite class in high school. Each question is like a little puzzle to solve, and itâs actually pretty fun.
couldnât agree more. iâm in it right now. Yes it is hard, but i actually enjoy it a ton and have a lot of fun. canât say the same for my other classes. my teacher is incredible so iâd highly recommend taking it if theirs is good
I self taught myself physics c mechanics it wasnât too bad since I was taking AP physics 1 concurrently while teaching myself c(my school didnât offer c)
even if you dont do well you will have a huge head start in college. physics 2 is essentially just e&m and mechanics helps with statics, physics 1, and dynamics. if you want to do any form of engineering i strongly advise you take it.
Itâs a college level course made for people who plan on pursuing art as a career, itâs all about skill gained over years before enrolling in the class, weâre not lucky, just that a lot of overconfident people sign up and fail
@@LycheeCore true but, some teachers recommend students like myself into their AP class .. and when your teachers/family see that âNoâ isnât an option. I dropped out a week before finals due to my teacher expecting so much from me.
@@steve4718 just because he/she enrolled in those classes, that doesnât automatically mean that he/she will get straight As in that class because of them being objectively the hardest. If that was the case then every single AP student would get straight As and thatâs completely unrealistic because of how significantly harder AP classes are compared to a normal honors class. But I hope that personâs grades were good nonetheless.
For some reason I found AP Bio to be a lot easier than AP Stats, bio was much more interesting and engaging for me which is probably why it absorbed easier or something
@@UniqueRaliefor me, who had a really easy time in the class due to the lack of teaching by my teacher all year, the exam was very tough. Iâve never been all that interested in biology either. However, I ended up getting a 4 on the exam, which was definitely not the score I thought I was going to get. The difficulty of the class is very dependent on the teacher (in my case, it was an easy class but it screwed most of us over), so it might be worth your while asking people who have already taken the course at your school specifically what the class is like. :)

AP Seminar is the hardest AP class I ever took. And Iâve taken 15. It is an insane amount of work. I was made to write a full annotated bibliography in 2 days (10 very long paragraphs that needed a lot of research) and for our mock presentations, we were usually given like a week to work on our presentation and essay simultaneously. Seminar is absolutely in no way easy, it gave me an unbelievable amount of stress. I took bio and world the same year and they were nothing compared to seminar, especially bio was a piece of cake.
That's the complete opposite of my experience. I'm still in the class, but the first few months were spent researching for our first essay. We could choose the prompt, and we had a group of 2-4 people to work with. We had to find like 10 sources to use for it, and after we wrote the essay, we had to make a presentation for it using all of the information we gathered for the essay. Then we have another essay with sources given to us by College Board. Overall it feels very easy, but it might just be the teacher for my class.
Wow, my ap seminar class rn is great, weâve got time to write papers and everyone gets 100 since theyâre just completion scores. AP chem is pretty good for me tooâŠ.. but AP langâŠâŠ DROP OUT DROP OUT DROP OUT
Took German in high school all four years and AP in my senior year. I had a really great teacher and I had a pretty solid grasp of the language at that point so it was mostly easy for me. The most difficult part is sticking with it and applying yourself. Not everyone was able to pick it up as easily as I was however⊠In German 3 I knew students who always struggled. One dude I knew was a nice guy but for his sanity, I hoped that he wouldnât try for another year. His lack of progress would have made German AP increasingly more difficult unless he studied twice as hard as everyone else *at least.* My best piece of advice for learning any language is, âNothing will stop you being creative more effectively as the fear of making a mistake.â -John Cleese. The students who were least afraid to make mistakes often did the best. And boy was my guy afraid to make mistakes.
Forgot about Human Geo - put it in easy.

@@masterball999gaming4 Exactly. People usually ask me about AP test or class difficulty and the only thing I can comment on really is class workload. In terms of exam difficulty, I don't think I'm very good at assessing its difficulty for others -- easy exams I sometimes think are relatively challenging and hard exams I consider mostly easy.
It depends. If u ask me if calc or physics was hard I would say no bc Iâm good at math. But if u asked another person who was good academically but not the best at math theyâd say it was difficult. U canât judge the difficulty of a subject based on other ppls opinions, it all depends on the persons skill set

God damn this comment section has let me know how lucky I am. AP Lit is literally just a normal English experience at my school. Very chill and not that much workload. Most of my classmates show up late everyday and barely read and everyone has above an 85. Even with all this our teacher is still making sure we're all set for the AP exam.
On the flip side, AP Human Geo is such an intensive and work heavy class that most people quit doing AP classes after it because they assume that every AP class is going to be like it. MINIMUM of 4 hours of homework every night. They literally warn Freshmen who take that they probably will 0 free time.
it does feel weird, my AP lit class was very chill and i still made a 4 on the exam đ
Same for my old school but I ended up being 1 out of 3 people to pass it out of my 25 person class đ got a 5 too.

The easiest AP is the one that you are good at, and the hardest one is the one that doesn't make sense to you. Honestly, there are way too many factors that go into if a class is easy or not. Past experience, natural understanding, quality of teacher, etc.
I agree with the factors part, but you could be really good at calc and still flunk the ap exams. The exams are nothing compared to what you are originallyâgood atâ.
i agree im psych
I think he probably kinda based it on workload and how other people in that class thought about it
Yeah I found Spanish Lang to be super easy. Iâm also taking Lit and Psych right now, and those arenât too difficult, however Human and World I hated a lot:
Real. The hardest ap class for me was CSA I ended up with like a 2 on that exam, while apush is a easy 5
Music theory should really be in the âdependsâ category. I have perfect pitch and a big music background, so I took it as a freshman and easily aced everything, got a 5. Other people really struggled to get the concepts that were already hard-wired into me. Itâs not fair but it is the definition of a âdependsâ class.
Same, I was the only guy in the class and we managed to finish in a semester when itâs designed for a whole year. It can be pretty easy to just know your stuff and blow through it all
@@shuatock8216 I feel like we couldâve gotten everything down in a semester, too, but the class was very chill and slow-paced. We spent much of our time practicing with the figured bass/roman numeral thing, then by the time we got to the actual AP multiple choice in March 2020, COVID happened and the exam was online, didnât really learn anything else that year. The exam was just a figured bass question, a Roman numeral question, and 2 sight-singing questions. It was a weird year.
That sounds like you were just really advanced going into it. Itâs like if you took AP Spanish when you already speak Spanish, these rankings arenât for people like you theyâre for the average student
@@swagger5455 Yes but what Iâm saying is that AP Music Theory usually IS like AP Spanish for someone who speaks Spanish already. If you donât already know a lot of theory, itâs very unlikely youâll ever take it anyway. For the average person, AP Music Theory would potentially be the hardest one there is since it skips a lot of stuff that youâre assumed to already know. Like, A LOT

@@ilikecats6016 Good luck on it!
I love how he calls AP Lit a dropout when I found it easier than AP Calc AB
I think the biggest factor to the difficulty of a course is the teacher you end up having. All of the APâs listed in âdrop outâ were ones I took but was fortunate to have very good teachers for. The material isnât easy per-say, but a good teacher will make it feel very doable!
Thatâs 100% true. People generally see APUSH as pretty hard but it was one of my easiest classes last year. Pretty much got all the info I needed in class and had barely any homework. Teacher made it ridiculously easy to do well on dbqs because he had a ridiculously formulaic approach to them. Like you knew the entire structure, sentence by sentence, before getting the prompt.
My current AP Calc AB teacher, according to my entire class (myself included,) doesn't explain the concepts any well. He also makes a LOT of mistakes despite having the answer sheet with him... but this isn't particularly what makes me upset. It's that whenever we ask anything about the steps or what did he did, we get hit with the "You learned this before so I won't explain."
On the flip side, some AP teachers are really good but unempathetic teachers. They are great at teaching but will ruthlessly throw unrealistic amount of assignments like you have no other classes to focus on. I had two of these ppl.
I think they do this to make sure they get their students get good scores but some of it definitely should have been extra credit or something- wayyyy too much.
The only true AP class I took was Spanish language we have a way better program called college in the highschool but it gives guaranteed credit if you pass with a 70. But the point is yes it absolutely depends on the teacher, I dropped out halfway through the year not because of the material but because the teacher drove me crazy and did a terrible job in general.
I 100% agree. I got a 5 on APUSH last year while now, I feel like Iâm BSing my way through Seminar. My APUSH teacher really helped me think historically while my Seminar teach is sometimes as clueless as us (which I donât entirely blame on her since this is the first year we have Seminar in our school)

Really fun class, easy A. My final paper was an analyst between Raiden and Senator Armstrong, and their relations with collectivism and individualism respectfully.
Raiden and Senator Armstrong?? That's a huge W my boy
Or just take AP Lang instead. Either way, AP Lit is not worth the difficulty
As a lit student Iâm feeling this hard with exam day approaching. I was expecting the class to be like 40% nonfiction and 60% fiction and mostly based around how to dissect and construct stories along with general improvements on your ability to write. Instead itâs mostly been some short stories with a lot of poems mixed in, almost all of which have been fiction, the only one which wasnât being a poem I was allowed to choose for an essay. Donât get me wrong, I like reading and I got a 5 on the language exam but the shear volume of anachronistic stories and specifically poems is ridiculous. The poems specifically tend to be very subjective in their meaning and tone and it can often lead to really conflicting opinions on a text, and if your option doesnât align with a test makerâs youâre screwed.
The best example of this I can think of is the poem I chose for one of my essays, âthe Foggy Dewâ, by Charles OâNeill. âThe Foggy Dewâ can and has been interpreted to have two VERY different meanings over its one hundred year existence, as either an incredibly solemn poem focusing on the loss of a failed rebellion, or as a hyped up nationalist call to arms to rebel against colonial rule. Both interpretations are correct but only one can effectively be put on a testing sheet and so if you choose one your wrong on the other. Iâve seen this for plenty of poems in the class thus far and I honestly view it as somewhat stupid especially since many of these poems are from a time before we had standardized writing and so the older forms of English and writing needlessly complicate things on top of the already difficult material. I spoke to one of my former AP teachers, who also happens to teach 12th grade English, and she wasnât surprised at the volume of older works but openly voiced he discontent at it alongside mine. Itâs not a good way to get kids interested in the subject and it actively turns them away and I can say from personal experience that I havenât gained much as a writer from this class that I didnât already learn through independent reading or through AP English language which did a much better job at what AP Lit fails to do. The class is far to archaic and that makes it needlessly difficult in what should be a relatively easy subject. Kids wouldnât have a problem taking an AP course like this if they could analyze modern rap songs, movies, and TV shows. Writing has evolved since the days of Shakespeare and we donât need to rely on stage plays and poems to teach kids when theyâre already 400 years ahead of it.
so fun, im assuming you're talking about mgr raiden and not mk raiden, both of whom are goated characters
@@motivationallizard6644youâre making it sound a lot more complicated than it is and honestly just sounds like youâre getting lost in the sauce.

I also had a somewhat tough AP English Language and Composition teacher in 12th grade. For starters, I had to read 25 to 30 pages at home on average a day (which took me 30 to 35 minutes a day[I try to read carefully]). In addition, I had to doing reading plus reading comprehension, writing or vocabulary homework (some of the esoteric 12th grade vocabulary words I learned in that class were: deleterious, esurient, surreptitious, colloquial, conflagration, sybarite, venerable, idiosyncrasy, panacea, penurious, etc.). In other words, I spent nearly an hour on AP Language and Composition class at home nearly everyday. Furthermore, for essays, he was strict on formatting (usually he wanted either MLA or APA or Chicago formatting), page count (first essay was 4-5 pages and the final essay/research paper was 7-8 pages), sources for research papers (he does not want us to use Wikipedia or any source similar to Wikipedia or use any kind of corporate news media as sources), and submission time (if you were late to class and handed your essay to the teacher, he is going to mark 10 percentage points off your essay and this was the first offense). Second offense, he will not accept the essay and you get a zero. Third offense, and you fail the class. Plus, for 4-6 page essays, he gave us 2-3 days to write. For 7-8 page essays, he gave us 4-5 days to write. I learned a lot from my English Language and Composition teacher's class and it did prepare me for college.
@@123ucr Wow, that sounds nuts-
@hsAndDreams --- I got a B- the first semester and a C+ (second semester) in that class (both semesters) and got a 2 on the exam and I was not even slacking off. Also, at my high school and if you were in 12th grade for English you had three options for English: 1. the regular 12th grade English. 2. AP Language and Composition which I went with (11th graders can also take that class too). 3. AP Literature and Composition which was the hardest option (I would not recommend this option unless if you really are good at English and enjoy English. Also, the English Department strongly recommended students pass AP Language and Composition before taking this class.) That said, AP Language and Composition class did prepare me for college level English.

I skipped AP lang into lĂt due to a scheduling issue, and it was breeze, even after coming into the course 6 weeks late, got a five. However, I had literally the best teacher one could ask for.
me taking three of the send prayers ones next year đ°
AP Lit and lang really depend on whoâs teaching it. I basically was on autopilot AP lang all year and got a 4 with an A for the year as my class grade and lit is going about similar rn. They are annoying classes in the way that they both take massive amounts of linear repetition to improve and I imagine from what I hear many teachers are missing that element
It also depends on the student's reading and writing level. If anyone did well on the SAT and/or ACT reading and writing, then AP Language and maybe AP Literature is going to be a breeze for them. Also, at my high school, high school seniors can take AP Language as a substitute for AP Literature or regular 12th grade English. I know I got a C+ in AP Language and Composition but I got a 2 on the AP exam in my senior year. Books that I read in my senior year for my AP Language and Compositon class: "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe and "On writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King. While I did not pass the exam, it prepared me for Freshman Composition in college.
Iâve also heard music theory is incredibly difficult. The tests are apparently like⊠6 hours long? And you have to have multiple music credits to get into the class.
itâs closer to the language classes than any other. thereâs 75 MC, half are aural (listening) and the other are non aural. then thereâs 9 FRQs, the first four being different types of dictation (you hear something then have to write it), then 3 composition ones, then 2 sight singing. done one. by. one. you have to have prior musical knowledge to even understand the basics of the class. and most colleges donât even take the credit, even if you get a 5. that shit is crazy man
It depends on level right? I only know that from level 9 and up its a 3 hour long exam
i just took it and it was extremely difficult
it was around two hours for me because there were 3 other people in the class
that being said
if you have a 30 person class sight singing itself is around 10 mins per person so yeah it could be long (because you canât leave and have to wait in a room)
also most of the test is on CD so that can be a bit of a challenge for proctors etc
Itâs definitely one of the âupper levelâ AP classes. Itâs hard even for those with a music background because most high schoolers are not that conscious of their ear. (Which is a way of saying most people canât really hear stuff they think of and then get that out into physical space) I took it senior year and got a 5 but only because I took college theory and jazz harmony at the same time and even before. Thatâs kinda the hard part, the average high school musician regardless of skill on their instrument will still probably fail The majority of non-musicians will fail. Itâs an incredibly unfair course but itâs a great class for those who want to go into music as a major and have a better than most grasp.
I barely passed the AP music theory exam with a 3 which Im proud since it was during online classes...but the test took like 4-5 hours from what i Remmember...there was a written portion, a multiple choice portion, and a listening/singing portion
*it is now time to panic*
I dare you to try IB⊠I switched from an AP to an IB school so Iâve taken both AP and IB classes and lemme just say, IB is fucking crazy in comparison to AP.
AP Chem was living hell, but it made chemistry in undergrad so much easier. I also had a former college professor of biochemistry at my HS (long story). Anyways he taught both preAP and AP Chem and most people hated him, but after a while you could tell he really cared. He said if you can pass my class youâll pass everything that comes your way. Hell even some of the people who failed his class went onto do better later. He said I want you all to focus on learning more than a grade. Albeit he had a policy of in the preAP chem class if you got below a 80% then he wanted a conference with your parents. He did that on every exam. A lot hated that of course cause itâs embarrassing, but he really wanted to help us. He even said I could care less if my students dislike me if I can get them to be successful then that makes it all worth it. I canât thank him enough I still keep in touch with him due to grad school and he always asks how well Iâm doing. Also his personality is kind of like a toned down Rick Sanchez so outside of school he was cool to talk to.
That sounds like a teacher that actually give a damn. Who ever hates him needs to grow up bruh
@@railx2005yeah. People still complain about him from time to time. Sometimes to annoy me cause Iâm one of the few that like him. I always think well Iâm in pharmacy school about to make $$$ while youâre working at McDonalds or Hardeeâs but go on. When I decided to be a tutor to the preAP chem students my senior year of HS one of the kids I was tutoring didnât feel safe at home with his abusive parents. This teacher of mine told him âIâll get you to a safe place if you want me to I canât take you in, but if things get bad Iâll get the authorities to help you get to a safe place.â This teacher was a marine and is a great man. I donât care what anyone thinks. I wish more teachers cared like he does. The world would be a much better place. I was blessed to have him as my chemistry teacher.
i think you learn chem way better during undergrad than in hs. i remember taking chem honors in hs and saying nah I hate chem, didn't bother taking ap chem. during undergrad, i killed chem so easily and it became my fav subject right next to ochem/biochem. in med school, this translated to me liking pharm because a lot of the fundamentals of pharmacology rely on them. tldr i dont recommend any ap classes to prep u for college cuz college classes are just easier than ap tests

In my Sophomore year I was accidentally put into a AP chem class, and it's the only test I've cried in
i cried on all my tests in that class
Damn my school made you take biology and chemistry before that class and get at least a B in both. It would be so hard to do that without those classes first, itâs such hard material I definitely believe that you cried. Thatâs the only AP exam I ever completely gave up on and stopped answering the questions on. I got a 1 đ
WHY DIDNT YOU DROP OUT??đ Im taking that class and its the biggest struggle ive ever had in my life
@@fruitful6139 I did
Recently took the exam, but I kind of dropped the course after unit 3 cause me and the teacher had a bit of falling out and I just couldn't endure her. I still wanted to take it though cause I thought it would be easy. I ended up having to cram seven units worth of information in just three weeks cause I didn't allocate my time well enouugh and didn't have enough time to solve as much practice problems as I wanted to. I don't know how well I did, I might have passed, since I did have a pretty good understanding of the content by the end of that three week cram session but it was absolute hell. I feel lucky that I was able to comprehend a good majority of the questions at all. If your college major has nothing to do with science or chem, just drop the course.

What do u do in ap music theory anyways
â@@greekyogurt5014 learn the theory of how music has sounded good in the past and how to write your own "music" using those same 8th century procedures. It's like a math and a history class built into one. These "procedures" can be thought of like math theorems, and there are a LOT of them. You need to be able to memorize them and apply them as you see fit. On top of these procedures, you need to make the music fit with the time signature, the key signature, follow proper chord progression guidelines, invert/change the standard arrangement of chords, etc. etc. These things are also taught in the class, but you're expected to have prior knowledge about some of them. The exam consists of general questions, music-writings, audio excerpts which you have to answer questions based on, like what kinds of procedures were used and whatnot, and there is even a "sight-singing" section where you are given a sheet of written music and you have to sing it right then and there, without an instrument. To say it was hard is an understatement.

Currently taking AP Chem. Honestly been keeping the range from 85-95 in my class I feel like it honestly depends on the person but I do understand how itâs a hard class.
That class pisses me off becuase I know I would've loved it so much had it been in person but it sucked so much over zoom. Labs were atrocious since we were just watching thebteacher do it trhoughbterrible video qualith, and also we blitzed throughh the content at an insane pace since the school distric decided to change smesters to trimesters that year for no reaso, a decisio that made it so all AP Classes would only be taught during the first and second trimester; obviously, the decision worked against every AP student so bad, as so many classes didnât even come close to finishing the content *cough cough apush only got to the Industrial Revolution cough cough* while others like AP Chem finishing way too quickly (we were done with equilibrium before winter break).

I only took one AP class, and it was AP music theory. One thing that we had to do was to learn all the different intervals (ascending and descending) by ear, and we were tested on it. So, theyâd play two notes, one after the other, and youâd have to know what the gap was between the two notes. I would spend so much time in the computer lap using the Aurelia program (this was in 2006-2007) just listening and practicing over and over that listening skill.
We also had to write 4-part music with the correct chord progressions with NO PARALLEL FIFTHS. And we had to be able to sight read and sing for the AP exam, which wasnât a big deal for me since I have a choir background, but people in my class who were in band or orchestra were less confident about it.
It was hard, but I learned so much about music.
If APWH is ânot badâ, Iâm terrified for âsend prayersâ APUSH đł
Update: yâall I just took my APUSH exam and I think I did well! Definitely harder for me, but thatâs because I process big themes better than specific events
Eh, if you have an A in world, you'll get an a minus in APUSH. It's more focused on the details than overarching themes.
APWH was way harder than APUSH tbh since thereâs so many different events and changes occuring
For me, Ap world was a lot harder. But I think teachers make a huge difference. I love my apush teacher
ApWh was so easy & i'm ass at history

@@wispyspirits2158 Honestly the strategy I had that worked the best was starting every piece, getting to the outlining sketching stage and then working on each piece a little at a time, so that when I hit a wall with one I could switch to a different one

@@wispyspirits2158 I highly recommend sketching out thumbnails any time you think of an idea for a piece.

Ap art is defientnyl hard if you arenât motivated or donât feel skilled enough or donât have an cohesive idea of what you like and want to explore.

I say AP Chemistry should be in the Send Prayers list or in the drop out list. If anyone have good math skills and did well on high school chemistry, it would be send prayers for those people. If not, then definitely drop out from this class and take General Chemistry in college. I would also put AP Biology in the Send Prayers or in the drop out list. If you did well in high school biology and high school chemistry, I would send prayers for you. If not, then drop out or do not take the equivalent of this class until college. I had a friend who said his first semester of college biology was the equivalent of AP Biology in one year.

I think AP world history is a lot harder than you say it is especially if you have only taken AP HUG or no AP classes before. It also depends on the teacher.

Bro my AP theory class was like literally impossible for everyone that didnât have perfect pitch (which isnât something you can learn) because my teacher didnât teach us at all about ear training or sight singing, and just expected us to know how to practice (and actually practice) every single day. I got a 100% in the class because Iâm good at learning what the teacher covers, but I got a 2 on the AP test. He literally didnât even tell us there was an app they used for sight singing and wasnât there the day we took the test because he had to ârake his grassâ (direct quote)
Yep! If you had perfect pitch or were a singer youâd do fine, but all of the instrumentalists in my class (including me) hardcore struggled
you could also have really cracked relative pitch instead of perfect pitch but that takes a long time and a lot of training to learn
I disagree cus I remember theory being mostly focused on the visual aspects of written music. And it really depends on your teacher. Only one kid in my theory class had perfect pitch, I have relative. You do have to have a good ear but since they give you a starting note for the sight reading it isnât necessary. It comes down to being disciplined and actually practicing at home. Being a pianist or singer definitely helps.
How did you approach the class? Did you have music theory background or did you go in with little to no knowledge?
@@bookwormd8627 I went in as a percussionist who learned keyboard by myself enough to write some stuff in Logic Pro. I could read treble clef easily and knew the middle line was D on bass clef. Thatâs about all I had going in.

AP music theory is really one of the only APs on this list that just basically rely on how knowledgeable and familiar you are with music to determine if you do well. like someone with 8 years experience on piano and violin as well as being an established vocalist is going to have an easier time than joe the guitar player who thought it would be an easy class.
Congrats for Walter white for being able to do the dropout ap classes
as someone who took an AP art class, I thought it was very difficult. It doesnât seem like it would be, but setting your own assignments, coming up with your own time limits, creating a premise and making 15 pieces based around it and working for an entire year to finish it, only to submit it and be graded on a scale of 1-5 was pretty hard. Im in art school now and I would say that the ap class was about the same level of difficulty.
I agree with everything except that it's 15 pieces, it's not necessarily 15 whole finished pieces you're able (and encouraged) to add process pictures, slides, and revision items which definitley takes a load off and makes sense with how the written questions are built.
The difficulty didnât even come from your ability to do art, it was more from your ability to time manage yourself over an entire school year with all the other things you also need to do. Everyone in my class was competent at drawing but almost all of us had terrible time management and working habits which made the class painful for everyone
All the ap classes Iâm in are send prayers lmao

AP Seminar is the hardest AP class I ever took. And Iâve taken 15. It is an insane amount of work. I was made to write a full annotated bibliography in 2 days (10 very long paragraphs that needed a lot of research) and for our mock presentations, we were usually given like a week to work on our presentation and essay simultaneously. Seminar is absolutely in no way easy, it gave me an unbelievable amount of stress. I took bio and world the same year and they were nothing compared to seminar, especially bio was a piece of cake.
That's the complete opposite of my experience. I'm still in the class, but the first few months were spent researching for our first essay. We could choose the prompt, and we had a group of 2-4 people to work with. We had to find like 10 sources to use for it, and after we wrote the essay, we had to make a presentation for it using all of the information we gathered for the essay. Then we have another essay with sources given to us by College Board. Overall it feels very easy, but it might just be the teacher for my class.
Wow, my ap seminar class rn is great, weâve got time to write papers and everyone gets 100 since theyâre just completion scores. AP chem is pretty good for me tooâŠ.. but AP langâŠâŠ DROP OUT DROP OUT DROP OUT
Took German in high school all four years and AP in my senior year. I had a really great teacher and I had a pretty solid grasp of the language at that point so it was mostly easy for me. The most difficult part is sticking with it and applying yourself.
Not everyone was able to pick it up as easily as I was however⊠In German 3 I knew students who always struggled. One dude I knew was a nice guy but for his sanity, I hoped that he wouldnât try for another year. His lack of progress would have made German AP increasingly more difficult unless he studied twice as hard as everyone else *at least.*
My best piece of advice for learning any language is, âNothing will stop you being creative more effectively as the fear of making a mistake.â -John Cleese. The students who were least afraid to make mistakes often did the best. And boy was my guy afraid to make mistakes.
