It all depends on your teacher. Ours is really nice, but she gives us some pretty difficult work, (like outlining a whole chapter, and key terms). If you are thinking about taking it, go to Amazon and get a study book. Also, course-notes.org has EVERYTHING you need for the class.
Yes it can be if you are not willing to put in a lot of work.
This class is not necessarily hard if you are willing to put in the work. What makes this history class easier than others is that it covers a large span of time, and many different regions. This lowers the specificity of the material covered.
In terms of the AP World History tests itself, the best way to pass is to devote a few hours of your life one night to reading the Princeton Review's edition of AP World History. It covers all of the essentials, and if you read it thoroughly, you should feel comfortable with most anything the test throws at you.
The AP Chemistry exam has both easy and hard questions. Some can be answered in a few seconds, while others require much contemplation and problem solving. The FRQs are also very complex and long.
In Spring 2013 the score distribution was excellent, with more 4s and 5s than previous years. Approximately 18% of students who took the exam earned a 5, 21% earned a 4, and 19% got a 3. The students who did not pass made up a total of around 40%. They answered the multiple choice questions very strongly.
Just like any other AP exam, chemistry is hard. Many people say it's the hardest exam, yet some may disagree. No matter how hard it is, it's passable. Just study the concepts and practice some released AP problems to prepare for the exam.
It typically depends on your ability to deal with rigorous coursework. Biology requires a lot of studying and memorization, and taking the AP course when you're just entering high school may be a bit too much. Unless you've already taken biology before, don't take the class too early.
AP biology is harder than regular high school biology. It is a college-level class and the coursework is harder and the course moves along faster than in a regular biology class.
It requires a lot of reading and memorizing because it discussed the way humans think.
Not at all. I can't be 100% reliable because I have a less-than-favorable teacher, but the content is very simple.
It's not hard, like Chemistry, you just have to know your stuff, and yes it is a lot work, a lot of reading and note-taking. Be prepared, and study early for the test.
Yes; do a simple google search and you'll see several.

Work hard, do all your homework, and do well on tests. Then get more than 40% right on the AP test.
You can find AP Chemistry courses online through platforms like Khan Academy, Coursera, edX, and College Board's AP Classroom. These courses offer video lessons, practice exercises, and resources to help you prepare for the AP Chemistry exam.
If you are taking both tests invest in the separate books, the question format for SAT IIs and AP exams are different and the information on each test may not be exactly comparable
I got a 5.0 GPA in junior year (I'm a senior now) i had---> AP US history AP Calculus AB AP Chemistry AP Physics B AP Language and Comp. AP Biology Yes...u read right THREE AP sciences in one year Dx it sucked! but (not trying to be stereotypical) i am a try hard asian :P i actually ended first quarter with 4 B's and 2 A's but by 2nd semester i had straight A-'s xD if u try really hard u can do it! (i actually had an AP Chem and AP bio test the same day and a AP physics test the next day--- i only had 3 hours of sleep in those 48 hours :( but i did it! :D im gonna try again this year! i have AP Government (first semester) AP Enviromental Science AP Literature and Comp. AP Calculus BC AP Art History AP Physics C yikes! but i have confidence!
Yes, it is essential.
I took AP chemistry in high school and I am a chemical engineering major and that little head start I had over everyone else really helped my GPA. I say take it, especially if you plan on taking chemistry in college.
This is not a hard schedule, because you get to choose at least a unit in each of the faculties
