I agree - you're in an AP Class because of your mind, don't be lazy and waste it. AP Classes are ones that you need to work to the fullest and best of your ability in. Though I am not sure if it is possible to pass without answering these questions, I will say now that not answering them will be a very big mistake. Just the fact that you attempt to answer them can mean the difference between success and failure.
I took AP History - I remember the exam quite well. Even being one of the highest scoring students in class, I still failed because of not putting my full attention on the test thinking I'd pass without a problem. Some questions I skipped just because I didn't think it would make such a big difference, but they did. So, really, unless the grading scale has changed, you need to do as much as possible.

Well, it would depend on how many points you do get right on the other parts of the test. I wouldn't advise skipping any of the questions, except for those multiple choice questions about which you have absolutely no idea and cannot eliminate any of the answer choices.
I'm not sure about Biology, but on some of the subjects like US History, Latin, etc., they will give you some points on the free response just for answering the questions they way they want you to (I.e with a well-supported thesis), even if you wrong in some ways. Biology might be similar.

I also ought to no longer believe how basic the attempt replaced into. I memorized each and each and every of the photosynthetic, cellular respiratory, and RNA/protein synthesis procedures and factors very last nighttime, and then there have been 0 questions about photosynthesis and respiratory. I also idea the free reaction replaced into enormously basic and they coated some enormously extensive matters, so that you had a good type of belongings you need to write about. even with the undeniable fact that, i imagine my marine technology and anatomy instructions somewhat gave me the convenience on factors of the FR. in the initiating i replaced into chuffed that the attempt replaced into really basic, yet now i'm kinda upset because i replaced into searching for a project. even with the actual incontrovertible reality that, it will be enormously humorous if i ended up with a a million or 2 after I reported all this lol. all and dissimilar probable did more effective than they're gazing for. fantastically because you're not to any extent further penalized for guessing. yet i do imagine the curve is somewhat a lot less forgiving now.

It's important to answer all parts of the AP test. If you mess up on one section, you know you'll have another section that may boost your score. Also, if a college sees an AP score and that student skipped the written work, they may think twice about that applicant.
The AP test isn't until May, so you have plenty of time to take practice tests and study/review the material you've already learned. For future material, just make sure to pay attention/study and you should be fine! Good luck!

Do the work. You are in an AP class because you are smart and intelligent. Smart gals don't just get by....they do their best. You may not want to answer the questions, but it isn't a choice. It's part of your test, and you have to do what you have to do.

Nope. If you want the credit, you're going to have to answer those, because they really do count for quite a lot.
Don't stress too much about it, it's not as hard as you probably think it is.
