What is the hardest science AP class?
Top 10 Hardest AP Classes
- Physics C – Electricity and Magnetism (8.1)
- English Literature (7.7)
- Physics C – Mechanics (7.3)
- Chemistry (7.2)
- Physics 1 (7)
- Physics 2 (6.8)
- European History (6.3)
- Biology (6.2)
Which is harder AP chemistry or AP biology?
AP Chemistry is definitely the toughest. It’s easily the hardest exam on the list because of it’s heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding, memorization, and math. In AP Chem you will need to know that formula to use and just crunch the numbers, not something you will be doing in Bio too much.
Can I take AP Calc BC without taking AP Calculus AB first?
Pre-calculus is a prerequisite for AP Calc AB, and you also need trigonometry and algebra experience. This is the course after AP Calc AB. At my school, students can take AP Calc BC without taking AB first, but it is not recommended. I would definitely suggest taking AP Calc AB before trying your hand at BC!
Do you need calculus for AP Physics 1?
This course doesn’t use calculus, as AP Physics C does, but you still need advanced algebra and trigonometry. AP Physics 1 is also a prerequisite, and this class is only for those who are really serious about looking at a career in engineering or physics.
Do I get credit for taking the AP Computer Science exam?
No credit is given for the Computer Science AP exams. Credit for 18.01 will no longer be granted with a 5 on the Calculus BC AP Exam. In order to get 18.01 credit, students will need to pass the on-line 18.01 ASE this summer.
How do I get AP Calculus ASE credit?
In order to get 18.01 credit, students will need to pass the on-line 18.01 ASE this summer. Students who receive a 5 on the Calculus BC AP exam, or a 5 on the Calculus AB exam or the AB subpart of the BC exam, or pass the first half of the 18.01 ASE will be able to take 18.01A.
