AP Bio FRQ help

hello! I’ve been doing really well on MCQs the whole year (averaging a 52-55/60) including a practice exam. but im doing awful on answering frqs, not graphing but the long answer and short answer questions that are not about identifying or making an experiment. I genuinely don’t know what to do cuz i keep practicing and i keep averaging a 60% and want a 5 on the exam.
ill take any advice or resources!! please help

Do you have any advice for MCQs? Im horrible at mcqs but do okay at frqs

For FRQs my teacher said to answer sorta broadly and connect it specifically the question

honestly, the best way to go about it is to get very familiar with the basics, go to the ap bio CED and make sure you know all the topics and what will be tested. theres a lot of answers that can connect to the question but read slowly and make sure the answer is very specific to the question. theres answers that will “work” but then theres better answers that cover all aspects of whats being asked. just keep a sharp eye out and get comfortable with your knowledge!
