I think it's environmental science. I never opened my book, never took notes, and rarely paid attention and still got a 5 on the AP :). It was mostly common sense and basic algebra.

Hmm, is it worth taking ? :evil: I think I still get a discount rate that my school gets if I pay through them.


It can't be Comp Sci, it seems easy, but not that easy. World History is pretty hard, but mostly because of all the useless information you have to know.

i thought AP american Government was extremely easy. I knew 90% of the information before taking the class, and scored a 5 on the AP test.

Calc AB. Really easy if you took the tests from previous years.
I think I had 30 minutes to spare on each section, got a 5.

Drop two of them and enjoy your last year of high school, because when you get to college, you'll realize that most of those didn't do you any good since they're not required by your major.

I guess environmental science must be taught differently at my school, because there was never any math involved. I didn't think most of the stuff was common knowledge either, but that is debatable. Anyways, I got a 4 without putting forth much effort. Good enough for me...

The U.S. History Exam is the one I studied my ass off for and still could only muster a 3. I couldn't stay awake in that class.

This year I have Stats, English Lit, and next semester I will have AP Gov as well. English will probably end up being the hardest.

man... i wish i went to a better school. AP at the high school i went to was the biggest joke ever, being an 'AP kid' ment u weren't a dumbass. the easiest AP class or test? test would probably be english(yum) or calc(math being purely logical), class would depend on the teacher.

I'm taking Calc BC and English 4AP. I want to get into an Engineering program at one of the UCs, the program my friend is in would only require two semesters of English if I get a 4+ on this AP test. (Which he did).

That'd be really nice.

Ouch :Q

I didn't really take notes/read in that class either. The night before the AP I realized I was fked and decided to cram one specific area of American History (about 1890-1940) and lo and behold that was about 70% of the test.

It's even graded on a curve too. You need only a 55% on that test to get a 3, about a 70% to get a 4, and 85% to get a 5. Luckily I mustered a 4. 51% nationwide passrate on that though :(

Half was my fault, half was the teachers. Not even 1/3 of the class passed with a 3 or higher. We didn't finish the book, we had ~8 chapters left with one week before the AP test and my teacher figured we should review. Unfortuantly for us, that week, our school was doing block scheduling, so we only had him once the whole week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday.. Wednesday was Calc AB Exam, Friday was US History Exam). We covered around 1850 - 1950, I'd say 50%+ was 1950 - 1980, and the essay was Early Colonial Years, I think..

I didn't even expect a 1, I think after 30 questions, I realized, I had no idea what any of these questions were asking about, so I just kind of hoped for the best.

I barely finished multiple choice in time, then moved onto the multiple essays. I BS'd as much as I could, then realized I was talking about the wrong event (it was a vague question asking about a presidential scandal and I was talking about a different election 20 years after the one it was asking about) so I crossed out my whole essay and maybe wrote 2 - 3 paragraphs about what I knew about the other event.

In the end, I had about 15 minutes to spare, so you know how they give you something like 14 AP stickers with your AP # and such? I had used two on the Calc AB test, I used the other 12 or so decorating my essays ;) :D

I took AP Biology and got a 99, also got a 99 in standard biology. I never got my AP results though, or they were thrown away like most my other mail :p

I thought it was pretty easy.

For me, by far, the Calculus AB/BC exams and the Physics C exam were the easiest. I think it was because those were the ones I was best prepared for, not because they were particularly easy. Anyway, coming out of all of those tests I knew I was going to get fives.

AP gov was the easiest. I didn't do any studying during the class and didn't even do the work (because i already had all the work from the year before) and I still got a 4 on the test.

Calc and English were the only two I took, but I got a 5 and 4 respectively without studying. I thought they were both easy.

I was one of two guys in my english class. The other guy never spoke, and when I did it was like god opened his mouth and spewed forth manly knowledge that women couldn't comprehend. I mostly slept in that class, rarely read the books, and bsed essays the night before they were due. But if I chose to grace the class with words, they were placed on a pedistal and worshipped (expect by the feminists who fundamentally disagreed with my cock).
