Description

The AP Macro and Micro exams have essays which are known as FRQs. Each exam has three questions; one 10 point and two 5 point. It is important for students to gain skills concerning the taking of these FRQs. Students need to understand what it means to explain, show and calculate. Student should be able to present their answers to earn as many points as possible. For example, what will happen if students do not label their graphs?

These and more will be answered in this podcast by a grader from the College Board.
