# Print an FRQ with scoring guidelines

## Quick answer

Open Print center, choose the subject, then choose the named FRQ type under What to print. Select a unit when offered, choose Include scoring guidelines if you want them, wait for the preview, and select Print.

## Before you start

- Know the AP® subject, FRQ type, and unit you want students to practice.
- Decide whether the teacher copy should include scoring guidelines.

## What to do

1. **Open Print center and choose the subject**: Select the [Open Print center](/printables?printable=frqs) button at the top of this guide. Under Download/export resources, open Subject and select the AP® course you teach.

   *Choose Subject first, then let Print center load the FRQ types and units available for that course.*

2. **Open What to print and choose the FRQ type**: Select What to print. Choose the exact named option, such as FRQ 1 – Concept Application. The list contains only the FRQ types available for the selected subject.

3. **Choose the unit shown below it**: Open Unit and select the unit you want students to practice. If only one supported unit is available, Fiveable keeps that unit selected for you.

4. **Review the FRQ in the preview**: Confirm the preview title matches the subject, FRQ type, and unit you selected. Use Previous and Next under Navigate FRQs when more than one prompt is available.

   *Check the preview title and prompt before deciding what to include in the printed copy.*

5. **Choose whether to include scoring guidelines**: In Print and options, turn Include scoring guidelines on for a teacher or review copy. Leave it off for a student-ready prompt. If a guideline is still generating, wait for the preview to finish before printing.

   *Turn scoring guidelines on only when the copy should include them, then use the print or export action.*

6. **Select Print FRQ**: Select Print FRQ above the preview. In the browser print dialog, confirm the printer or Save as PDF destination, page range, and number of copies before finishing.

## If something is not working

### No FRQ type appears.

That subject may not have printable FRQs available. Try another subject or use the assignment builder's FRQ / SAQ template.

### Scoring guidelines are still generating.

Keep the page open until the loading message finishes. Do not print until the preview contains the pages you expect.
