In my Highschool, classes are offered with the prenames "Honors," "AP," and "College." I know that AP is harder than Honors, but what about college? I see classes like College English 12 (Syracuse University Project Advance) and College Economics (SUPA) and I wonder if they are harder than their AP counterparts. They both have the same suggested guidelines in terms of recommended grades for the previous year class in the sequence and weights. They're taught within the school, but labeled "College." They also provide college credit. Do you know if they're harder than APs?

depends on the college and class

Depends on the major.
For the most part, the effort and learning required to make a good score on an AP exam is about as much as it would take to get a good grade in the same class at college. Be aware though, these exams will generally only take care of your general education credits for the most part. It's not until you get into upper division classes that are intensely related to your major that it becomes truly difficult. The AP exams do not reach this level.
Classes such as chemistry, calculus, english etc. are all introductory level courses that freshman and sophomores usually take. This is what your AP scores will substitute if acceptable.

From my experiences, AP classes are much easier than the college equivalents. I took multiple AP classes in high school, but a few I didn't take the AP test for (idk why, probably should have) and ended up taking the same class in college and it was much tougher and covered a lot more material. I'd recommend taking as many as possible, thats definitely something I regret. I mean, I came into college with 12 credits but I know some people with as much as 30. And especially if you're paying for college yourself, its a big money saver

he's talking about high school classes. he's saying that although getting a good score on the AP exam takes a similar amount of effort to getting a good score in the college course, those AP exams are usually replacements for your GE college classes (the ones that everyone has to take). so when you take specific classes for your major, they are harder than the AP class of that same subject
there are no AP classes in college
