I second the Organic and Biochemistry. This was my lowest grade for my pre-reqs (B). I enjoyed Biology so much more.

My school splits A&P into Anatomy in one semester and Physio in the other. I think Physio was the most difficult concept-wise and Micro was just as far as busy work - it wasn't difficult but we spent a lot more time in class/lab hours and there was a lot more homework in addition to the tests.

I liked all of my classes. In order from easiest to hardest I would have to say:
Micro; anatomy; physio; then Organic, inorganic & BioChem. I got As in all; and it was not easy.

I think Micro was the hardest. My teacher would have a question from one sentence in the whole book. You had to literally memorize the chapters to do well on some of the tests. And it was funny because she said not to memorize....how else do you learn the information? It would be different if she tested on concepts, but she didn't

By far the hardest for me was microbiology. Although I am thinking it will be Organic Chemistry when I get done with that class next semester!

Physiology for me was the hardest. Everything else is nothing compared to this class, for me!

Last semester I took Anatomy & Chemistry together:
Anatomy - tons of material to memorize, 18 hrs/week studying
Chemistry - not that bad, 3 - 6 hrs/wk studying
This semester I took Micro & Physio together:
Micro - lots of material but it's interesting stuff so I'm having fun learning 10 hrs/week studying
Physio - everything is conceptual so you just need to understand the material, not memorize it like Anatomy. 3-6 hrs/week studying.
Overall I would say Anatomy was the hardest because there was so much memorization and it was the first intense science class I took in college. Also, our instructor was very demanding with tons of tests & quizzes so I had to study a solid 18 hours a week just to keep up.
I ended up receiving an "A" in Anatomy, Micro & Physio and a "B" in chemistry.

I loved A&P. General Chem gave me a headache. Organic/Bio Chem gave me a migraine. I start micro this week-> and I'm worried.
