Show all the steps you took to reach your solution on questions involving calculations, even if a question may not explicitly remind you to do so. Show your work, even when you’re using a calculator.
If you do work that you think is incorrect, simply put an “X” through it instead of spending time erasing it completely: crossed-out work won’t be graded. You may want to look over all the questions as you begin each part of the free-response section before starting work.ĭuring the second timed portion of the free-response section (Part B), you are permitted to continue work on problems in Part A, but you are not permitted to use a calculator during this time. Make sure not to spend too much time on any one question so you’ll have enough time to answer all of them. The following strategies for answering the free-response questions will help you on exam day.
