I'm debating if I should take AP Physics next year.
I HATE math and it seems like Physics is all math.
I'm just taking the class since 3 years of science is recommended and it look good for college T-T
For those who've already taken the class, how hard is it? Was the AP test really hard?

I didn't feel like taking an 82 dollar test I knew I would fail, so I don't really know how hard the AP exam is.
The course itself is not hard, but there's no slack chapter in the subject. I thought it was going to be an easy class since I've always done well in math and science so I didn't really concentrate on the first chapter we learned...which was kinematics. Turns out you use kinematics in like EVERYTHING afterwards, so really, know your stuff or else you're screwed.
But other than that, no it was not a hard class. Just read and memorize formulas and be able to put formulas into formulas and that kind of stuff.

how many AP classes have u taken? if u already have (or will have) like 3 or so on your transcript, no need to take AP physics. it's also pointless to take it if u are not planning to major in any sort of science.
