I took 7 AP tests (and earned 36 hours of credit :)

>From easiest to hardest (and from 5 to 3):
1. Calculus BC
2. Macroeconomics
3. Statistics (make sure you bring a TI-83!)
4. Chemistry
5. Computer Science A (I passed it only becuase I write programs outside of 
class and almost knew what I was doing.  Everyone else failed because our 
teacher was incompetent.)
6. U.S. Government (memorize a lot a facts for part I, write BS for part II)
7. English Language (lots of difficult critical thinking questions, and they 
expect you to write GOOD essays).

>From what I heard from other students Spanish, English Lit, and Physics C 
are impossible.

Don't know about U.S. History: the test wasn't offered until my senior year 
and I nobody in my grade had taken a U.S. history class in two years.  
(They've now changed the order so that it's a juniors' class like all the 
other schools.)
