Study Strategies

## Acing Free-Response - Show all your work, even if you’re unsure of the answer. - Label everything: axes, variables, units, and steps. - Use correct notation—partial credit is your friend! - Clearly explain reasoning, especially on conceptual questions. If you get stuck, write down what you know—sometimes partial credit can add up!

Examples

  • Write out each integration step, and check your answer by differentiating.
  • Draw a quick sketch to communicate your understanding of a curve or motion.
