AP American History, the information was easy as shit, but the amount of work involved in the class was mind numbing. 3 page papers every night and projects that needed to be 3 pages typed, single space, every 2 weeks. DBQs, FRQs, and Tests which were graded to the strictness of the AP, MC was easy, but the DBQs + FRQs usually screwed everyone's grade.

There have been classes I've failed and had to retake, but the hardest class I've ever taken was probably Physics III, which I barely passed. This was due in large part to the professor, but it was still a hard class.

As for the answer, probably Buddhism. Every time you thought you had got some of that shit down you would move on to another school who would likely believe the complete opposite of the previous one. Just try keeping that straight. I got completely overloaded and once the exam was over my brain just wiped it. Should have stuck to Hinduism. Pantheons are easy.

I'm actually taking a combined Hinduism and Buddhism course called Eastern Religious Thought, and Hinduism has been easy so far, I'm a little worried about rememorizing the 8 fold path shit again though.

AP Physics B and C, I guess. Well, more B than C. Since I had B last year, I was already familiar with a lot of the material we've covered in C so far, with the addition of some calculus stuff and some additions. What's nice about C is that it doesn't cover some of the subjects I had trouble with last year (fluid dynamics, thermodynamics). I'm going to have fun with magnetism though... Bah.
Physics has also given me the most work. I go to school almost every Saturday for ~3 hours to do the homework. It's not as bad as a lot of people seem to think though. Especially since the teacher brings in some yummy food.

Yeah, I had Pre-AP Chem (Don't know if "Pre-AP" is universal or not) sophomore year and it was one of the easiest classes I've taken. Easy, easy A. AP Chem might be a different story though, since a lot of people at my school seem to fail it.

Taking Gen Chem II right now and I know it's going to be a pain in the ass, but Calc 3 damn near killed me last semester, I just straight up had no clue as to what was going on in the last two chapters. curl F, what?

In high school: Chemistry. I can ace algebra and history and shit, but that class for some reason kicked my ass.
In College: Honors history of US Economics. Oh, my god, was that boring. I had to memorize at least 100 different policies and businesses and stupid shit like that, most of which I will never need to know. History is easy, and economics is easy, but when you put the two together, it will be killer. I barely got a B, with an 82% in the class. My lowest grade so far in college.

Ooh, wait, I take it back. The hardest class I ever took was College Algebra, because the teacher was a douche bag and I never listened to him. Turns out that you kind of need to do the homework to learn many mathematical concepts. Failure became my only option.

Here we only had to take PE for one year, and my teacher was a pretty laid back and cool guy. Most of the time we just played football and shit. As long as we clearly tried (which many of the girls didn't) we had a hundred.
There was also the pesky health part of the class, but it wasn't that hard.

There's two kinds of hard. Data Structures and Algorithms 2 is maybe the most challenging course I've taken so far in terms of the material, but I had no problems with it because it was interesting stuff. The hardest courses, for me, tend to be what most people call easy A's--the ones that are nothing but fact regurgitation or formulaic expository papers. I tend to forget things a lot when I have no motivation to do them.

When I took "real" PE, I played volleyball for my high school. After I wrecked my shoulder, I took a PE class where I could do whatever I wanted as long as I was doing something, and then the next year I took Yoga/Self Defense, which was awesome. Best PE class evar.

If you can't do high school PE when you're supposed to be in the prime of life, there's something wrong.
That being said, I had a no problems with it, in fact I kicked ass. Then after my first semester of high school I blew my knee out and couldn't take the second half, but I got an exemption anyways because I played football.

Believe it or not Oceanography. It's probably just because my teacher is a dumbass or because I couldn't give two shits about salt water chemistry or sediment value. A class is hard for me when it doesn't interest me on any level and this course fucking hit that nail on the head.

PE is mindless. I failed like every test in that class, but because I dressed every day I passed. The only way I've known anyone to fail PE is by not dressing or not showing up.

PE fucking blew the one year i took it (and probably contributed to 60% of my hate for humanity), but it was easy to pass.
The hardest course I ever took was fucking Spanish 1. My brain just wasn't built to comprehend other languages apparently, and the teacher's logic of "the other students can do it, why can't you" pretty much guaranteed my failure. After I knew i wouldn't pass i just started writing unintelligible gibberish on my assignments. >_>

I didn't say I failed it you morons. I said it was difficult. All things considered, high school PE (I had to take three years of it for my school) was collectively the most difficult class I took. But I'm taking into account lots of taunting and bad sportsmanship and whatnot.
But in college I took basic karate and yoga/pilates, effectively reversing my hatred for Physical Education.

I was the same way in French class. My only salvation was that we'd always get the questions for the oral assessments the night before so instead of giving the generic answers to questions like "Where do you buy your clothes?" and replying "At the mall." like everyone else, I'd say something stupid like "I don't really know. My mom buys all my clothes."
Oh, and sophomore year the teacher was my older sister's best friend...still only pulled a 70 though.
