I know that, when I took it, the AP English exam had an essay question. (Of course I passed; I got a five, thank you very much!) That means, so far as I am concerned, that the English exam is a lot more subjective than the US History Exam, which I also took (only a three, but I didn't actually take AP US History; I'd taken regular old boring US history the previous year) or the AP Calculus exam or whatever. (Of course I didn't take the calculus exam! I didn't even take calculus, for the excellent reason that I would have failed.)

Does that make it an easier test, being more subjective? I cannot say; I don't know anything about the people they have judging those essays. I'm not terribly surprised at my five, of course, but I really did think the essay question was interesting and challenging, which was nice.
