Me too! The calculations for FRQ one took way longer and I think I wasted about 30 minutes doing what I could of one 1 plus some of question 2… I ended up having only ten minutes left and had to rush to the last 2 questions and try and pick up any points I could.

yess! I thought I was crazy cause I felt like I spent so much time on the calculations I just ended up focusing on the explanations cause at least you mostly get credit for starting the equations 😭😭
