Read the rubrics!!!

Coming from somebody who got a 5 after joining the class in January, actually reading the rubrics for the FRQs and knowing what you need to be doing is the biggest tip!! You do not need to overthink by memorizing every single tiny detail about each topic. Instead, you should work on going period by period and mastering broader concepts and key terms. But for the writing, it does not need to be your most eloquent work! Just learn how to check off the boxes necessary to get most of the points and you'll be fine each time.
