False. Guiding questions are expected to evolve as the work develops, and a changing inquiry is valued.
A sustained investigation is driven by a question, not a fixed plan or a single style. Do not decide everything up front — start with a genuine question and let it evolve as you make. The evolution of your inquiry is exactly what AP readers reward.
A student starts with "How can I show the passing of time?" Early works try clocks and shadows; that leads to a new question, "What does memory look like?" The inquiry has evolved — and that visible journey is the heart of a strong sustained investigation.
Making begins with inquiry — asking questions that guide a sustained investigation. Good questions can be simple, and they evolve as the work develops. Documenting your questions is a resource for the portfolio; the evolving inquiry is what readers reward.
