Multiple-Choice strategies Pacing is important! (100 Q/80min) Give yourself about 48 sec. per question. Answer every question. NO penalty for guessing!! Answer every question. NO penalty for guessing!! Lab-set questions are tedious. Skip the diagram, skim the question first, then go back to the diagram to seek the information. Underline key words such as NOT or EXCEPT.

Multiple-Choice strategies Read each answer choice before making a final selection. Use process of elimination! Cross out letters of incorrect choices in test booklet. Narrow it down. If you absolutely don’t know it, GUESS! Don’t leave anything blank! If you finish early, go back over as many items as possible to catch careless errors.

Free-Response Questions At least 1 question is based on one of the 12 AP labs During 10-minute reading period: Skim each question Identify which is easiest  hardest Organize thoughts and outline essays on sheet provided Circle or underline KEY WORDS in questions Be sure to address each directive listed. (eg. analyze, compare, contrast, describe, design, explain)

Free-Response Questions If there are several parts, answer in sequence. Write an essay! No bullet points or outlines. Diagrams: Label them! Calculations: Show your work and each step! “Buzz words”: Define or describe them! If you can’t remember a term, describe/define it. Don’t leave any part of essay blank. Each point is worth 2X a multiple-choice point. If time allows, proofread your essays! Be kind to Readers: use good handwriting
