Rocking the Written Section

Free response questions ask you to show your work and explain your reasoning. Here’s how to shine:

• Read the question carefully and underline what it’s asking.
• Write out all steps, even if you think they’re obvious—partial credit is your friend!
• Include proper units and state your final answer clearly.
• Check your calculations and reasoning before moving on.

Remember, neatness counts and explanations matter—show what you know!
