AP exams: grind the weights, not the textbook
The units that decide the score, the FRQ rubric and the two-week plan, straight from the course framework.
The units that decide the score, the FRQ rubric and the two-week plan, straight from the course framework.
Your AP score is decided by a handful of units. The framework says which.
The course framework prints each unit's exam weight. Three or four units usually carry half the multiple-choice — start there.
What is an FRQ really grading?
The rubric points: claim, evidence, reasoning. Graders hunt for point-worthy sentences, not essays. Write to the rubric.
Two weeks out. Best use of a study day?
Quizzing the heavy units finds your gaps; one timed FRQ trains the format. Rereading feels safe and scores nothing.
No guessing penalty: answer everything. Eliminate two, pick, flag it, move on — the clock is part of the test.
The night before
One pass of your missed cards only, then sleep. Cramming new units the night before trades points for panic.
Stop grinding the textbook. Grind the weights.
