Questions students ask

Will this actually fit my schedule?+
Pick Light (~25 min/day), Standard (~45 min), or Intensive (75+ min). Intensive adds extra models-focused FRQ reps on signature days.
Do I need to memorize every model?+
Know the core set cold: Demographic Transition Model, von Thünen, Rostow, urban models (concentric/sector/multiple nuclei), Wallerstein's world-systems. The FRQs often ask you to APPLY and CRITIQUE these.
Why are the FRQs so structured?+
Each FRQ has 7 lettered parts (A-G), each worth 1 point, each graded independently. That means you can't skip parts or conflate answers - be direct and specific.
How do I practice FRQs if I don't have a teacher to grade them?+
Use the scoring guidelines on the College Board PDFs, or sign in to GradGPT for instant AI feedback on the exact FRQs in this plan.

Each FRQ part is 1 point. Skipping one = losing one.
