AP Test Score Calculator AP Test SCore Calculator Prepping for FRQs Peterson's Rules for Writing FRQs:

1. ​Organize your writing! If the question has a prompt followed by a bunch of terms and concepts, you do not have to follow the order that they provide. Work in the terms in a way that best fits the flow of your answer!
2. Define your terms!!! If you use a term, you better define it. Remember: merely using it properly in a sentence is not enough to earn the credit!
3. Underline your terms! This is all about making the job of your AP reader easier.
4. Provide an example that relates to the prompt!No random examples! make sure that each example offered is relevant to the topic provided by the prompt.
5. If the question gives you multiple tasks, make sure to address each one individually. Don't just write one big block paragraph. Differentiate! (Bullet-point; number; letter; skip a line; etc.)
6. Use complete sentences. Remember, even if you are bullet-pointing, complete sentences are necessary.

If you follow these six rules, you will do fine (so long as you know the material). You can try your hand on the questions below!

CLEP What if I only score a 1 or 2 on the AP Exam?Every year there are some who do not get the required 3 to 5 on the exam and therefore lose out on the opportunity to get that credit through the AP examination. If that should happen, do not lose hope! There is a second opportunity that comes through CLEP (College Level Examination Program). A list of offerings is included in the link below.
