Tip: Know the Free-Response Question

As you get closer to the time of the AP exam in May, visit the College Board website and attempt some of the
free-response questions posted on the site. Actual essay questions from previous administrations of the AP
Exam are available with student samples and detailed rubrics to verify your answers. Set aside a quiet time
before the exam to score one or two of the sample essays provide to make sure you understand how it works.
Then score your two essays. Practice rewriting your essays with the rubric in mind. Take some time to
review any missed terms on the essay and then answer another two FRQs to see if you have improved.
