Tips
Use the term the question uses. Free-response answers are marked against named concepts, so a correct idea described in everyday words may not be credited.
Apply, don't define. A part that asks how a concept explains a scenario wants the concept *doing work* in that scenario; a textbook definition on its own does not answer it.
When a study is described, separate what was measured from what was concluded. Much of the credit sits in saying what the design can and cannot show.
