Has anyone taken the AP Statistics at high school? How hard/easy is it? I have to choose my classes on Monday (I will be in 11th grade next year) and am wondering whether or not to take stats. I am in algebra 2 (pre-calculus is next year) and I am not sure if the math is easy/hard/new. Thanks if you can give me some details about how the class is.

Statistics was easy for me (got a 5 on the AP Exam). However, I took it in 8th grade. Most kids in my class struggled with it, so I wouldn't recommend it if you didn't need to take it. There isn't a lot of math in it, probability and giving p-values for tests etc. You need to explain all your answers and use the data you obtained, so even if you suck at math, it isn't impossible to do well.
