FRQ Strategies
Show All Work
Graders award partial credit for correct setup and reasoning even if the final answer
is wrong. Never skip steps.
Justify Answers
When asked to justify, reference specific theorems (MVT, IVT, FTC) and connect
conditions to conclusions explicitly.
Answer Every Part
Each sub-part (a, b, c, d) is scored independently. Even if you can't do part (a),
attempt parts (b)–(d).
Units & Context
Include units in applied problems and interpret results in context. "The rate of
change is 5 gallons/min" beats just "5".
Time Management
~15 min per question in Part A, ~15 min per question in Part B. If stuck, move on and
come back.
Calculator Setup
In Part A, show the integral/equation you're computing, then state the calculator
result. Never just write a number.
