Which AP classes are the hardest/easiest?

I'm trying to choose my AP classes for next year, and I was curious about which ones are considered the most and least difficult. What's your take on AP class difficulty based on your own experiences or those of your friends? Cheers!

The difficulty of AP classes can vary depending on your strengths, interests, and the teachers at your school. However, I can give you a general idea of which AP courses are generally considered the most and least challenging. Keep in mind that your experience may be different based on your own aptitudes and your school's specific curriculum.

Most Challenging AP Classes:

1. AP Calculus BC

2. AP Physics C

3. AP Chemistry

4. AP Biology

Easier AP Classes (relatively):

1. AP Human Geography

2. AP Environmental Science

3. AP Psychology

4. AP Comparative Government and Politics

5. AP European History

While these lists provide a general overview of challenging and easier AP courses, remember that difficulty is subjective. Choose subjects that correlate with your interests and strengths, and be sure to consult with teachers, counselors, or students at your school to get more insight into the specific courses offered at your school. Good luck!
