Honors chemistry was probably harder for me than any class I took in college. Trig was tough too.

Calculus…but I had a tough teacher and I’m thankful for having her as a teacher. There’s no way I would have passed calculus in college without her

AP English.

Calculas, Astronomy, AP chemistry, etc. no problem. Had 99 or 100s in those.

Still hade a 95 average in both AP English classes, but I wasn't artistic enough with essays to get that other 5 points

Anatomy and physiology - 12th Grade
Super hard but very interesting so I did well in it. I like morbid topics and reads.

Calculus. I was not in AP. I did have a teacher with a doctorate in Math in HS. Tough as nails.

Glad my Dad transferred to another city during my senior year. No calculus taught at my new school.

How else can you explain that shite?


It's easy to explain. Your difficult high school bio teacher prepared you for college.

Teaching truly is thankless.

I did well in all my maths.

My hardest class was Free Enterprise. The teacher made the course extremely practical and was well prepared for college. The class was more difficult than any college entry level business course.

If it wasn't for the section on proofs, I would have passed with close to a perfect grade in geometry.

That came easy to me. We had a combined trig/advanced math course my senior year I struggled with. My school didn't offer calculus but I had a tough time with it in college.

The best course I took in high school was typing. It was an elective and I almost picked something else. So glad I took it.

Hardest in college was business statistics

Hardest in law school was successions, donations and trusts

Proofs in any math. Never could get it. I could do math but don't expect me to prove it

I once took economic forecasting because I thought it would be interesting. Big mistake. It was endless formulas with symbols. On top of that the professor had German accent. So I didn’t understand the guy talking and the topic was beyond me. I think my recurring dream of failing a class may resulted from taking this class.

Biochemistry was another one. The first exam average was 38. You can imagine the curve on that one.

Algebra one. Not because it was the most difficult class I took, but because it was the most difficult class, I took at the time I took it. I almost feel like my brain couldn't see it. Finally, an amazing teacher, Mrs. Crawford, sat me down and worked with me and it literally just clicked. But it took weeks of feeling like I was hearing a conversation in Swahili. To say I was lost is an understatement.

None. High school was easy for me. College was the wake up call.
