Knowing the content isn’t always enough to score well on the AP Chemistry exam—how your teen presents their answer can make or break their score. In this episode, I’m breaking down common mistakes students make on the free-response section and sharing the simple, practical strategies they can start using now to avoid losing easy points.

From using correct variables and units to writing legibly, showing work clearly, and directly answering every part of the question, these tips are all about helping your teen demonstrate what they know with confidence and clarity. I’ll even show you how something as small as skipping a unit or hiding the answer in a sea of words can cost valuable points—and how to fix it.

🎧 Listen in for real-world, no-fluff advice that makes test prep feel manageable—and effective.
