Tips
Released free-response questions come with their scoring guidelines, and for this course the guidelines are the more useful document. They show how much credit a justification earns next to the algebra — usually the opposite of what students assume.
Work each question, then rewrite your answer to lead with the principle rather than the equation. That habit is built by rewriting, not by reading.
Older released papers predate the current unit structure in places. Treat an unfamiliar-looking question as extra reasoning practice, not as a gap in your revision.
