originally streamed in 2019 with Joshua NielsenTeachercurriculum note
This video was recorded for the 2020 COVID digital exam, which had only 2 FRQs submitted via file upload. The current APES exam is paper-based with 3 FRQs — ignore the advice about uploading files, timing per question, and exam structure, but the general FRQ writing strategies and experimental design tips remain applicable.
