AP Art History Exam

Ok so I took AP Art History through FLVS which is an online school in Florida. I am not required to take the AP exam and I feel that if I take it I am pretty much guaranteed a 1 or a 2 because the class was a joke and I finished it 3 months ago. So my question is should I still take the exam even if im pretty sure im going to fail it, or should I just not take it.

i had both the annotated mona lisa and the REA.
REA is the best ap art history review, hands down.
those authors really know the test.
btw i got a 5 on the ap test.

last year i took it and got a 4.

i tried to use the annotated mona lisa but it wasn't very useful to me.

i haven't seen the rea for art history, but i did use the one for us, and let's just say it worked.

explode,
Well, after I took the multiple choice section, I felt like I would barely pass.
But then a miracle happened and I knew basically all the slides for the 9 essays.
It really was not that bad.
Btw, the only reason I didn't feel so confident on the MC was because our teacher was kind of slow and raced through realism-present within like 3 weeks. I'd say that if u study the REA review book (CRUCIAL!!!), especially the contemporary era, AND architecture (so important, theres a large percentage), you can definitely get a 5 also.
