my AP Bio teacher hates labs, and theres a month and a half left till my AP exam, and we havent done more than one experiment during the course of this class. what should i do???? sometimes i wish i could tell my teacher that i could care less if she liked labs or not -- their important for my exam!! furthermore, i plan to major in pre-dental and my school isnt so great about labs, and since it would really be nice to have some experience in labs, i feel theres no hope for me to have any good high school training in labs. any suggestions?

I think your school is not doing a very good job. That being said, having spoken to friends in college, I think everyone finds labs in college a lot harder so perhaps you could do an outside of school class at a local college or even at a local research lab just to get your toes wet.
You need to take care of two things here. First, you need to study for the AP Bio exam. My honest opinion is that you shouldn't start studying for APs till the week before the exam. Your SAT is way more important - it's like a quarter of your college application while your APs are probably less than 5% for all of your exams together.
Second, you should try to do a lab course at a community college or something where it's cheap but you'll still get good experience.

I would try to find videos on YouTube and other sites of good experiments because you really need some background. There shouldn't be that much regarding labs on the AP exam though but you'll need it later on for getting into dental school. You can start here:
