Study Strategies

## Tips for Acing FRQs Free-response questions (FRQs) test your understanding and ability to explain economic concepts. To succeed: - Read the prompt carefully and underline key terms. - Plan your answer before writing—organize your thoughts. - Use clear, concise language and include diagrams if asked. - Label all graphs correctly and explain what they show. - Answer every part of the question—don't leave anything blank! Practice makes perfect, so work through past FRQs to build confidence.

Examples

  • Underline terms like 'equilibrium price' and 'consumer surplus' before answering.
  • Sketch and label a supply and demand graph to support your explanation.
