Maximize your performance on Free Response Questions (FRQs) by avoiding common pitfalls. Focus on getting straight to the point rather than lengthy introductions, and always use a ballpoint pen with black or blue ink for clarity. Stay calm, even if a question seems unfamiliar, and avoid excessive scratching or messy handwriting which can confuse graders. Don’t leave questions unanswered—every point counts! Follow these guidelines to enhance your writing and boost your scores. Remember, persistence is key; don't quit!
E N D
Don’t waste time on background information or a long introduction unless the question calls for it. • Don’t ramble-get to the point. • Don’t use a pencil: use a ball point pen with black or blue ink.
Don’t use felt tip or gel pens • Don’t panic or get angry because you are unfamiliar with the question. You have probably heard something about the subject-be calm and think. • Don’t scratch out excessively. One or two lines through the unwanted word should be enough.
Don’t write sloppily. It is easy for a grader to miss an important word when he/she cannot read your handwriting. • Don’t leave questions blank. Remember that each point you earn on an essay question is equivalent to two correct multiple choice questions. Make an effort on every question. DON’T QUIT!!!!
