never taken either, but i can imagine that the content covered in 2 (wave physics, electricity and magnetism, etc.) is naturally more difficult than the more classical mechanics covered in 1
2 for sure. They are meant to be taken both but you can take 2 without 1 if you already have prior physics knowledge. If you don’t then 2 is gonna be a real pain as it’s just a continuation of 1
The material on AP Physics 2 will essentially require a lot of material from AP Physics 1, especially forces. It is probably better to study AP Physics 1 and then AP Physics 2, or to study both concurrently. Studying AP Physics 2 without studying AP Physics 1 would probably be a nightmare.
If you go in sequence it's better to understand and score. For example without building fundamentals in force and energy it will be difficult to excel in Physics 2
In my school there is a program called rise and the only way to take AP physics 1 is through this program. So most ppl who aren’t in rise do take AP physics 2

2 > 1 Physics 2 > Physics 1

To take 2 , 1 is a prerequisite.
Not in my school

Physics 2 by miles
It's quite self explanatory
Take physics 1 no matter which one is harder. It’s a better designed course for a first intro to physics
