Question about AP Physics C FRQ time limit

I am preparing for the AP Physics C exam, but I'm a bit worried about time management in the free-response section. What's the time limit for the FRQs? Are there any tips to efficiently use this time?

The AP Physics C exam is divided into two sections: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. Each section has a Free Response Question (FRQ) section.

For both the Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism sections, the FRQ portion is 45 minutes long and consists of three questions. This amounts to 15 minutes per question on average. That said, the difficulty and length of each question may vary, so you might need to spend more time on some questions than others.

As for the time management, here are some tips:

- Start by quickly reading through all the questions in the FRQ section to get a sense of what they entail.

- Prioritize the question you think is easiest. Secure those points first.

- Spend a moment planning your response for each question. It'll help you stay focused and reduce the chance of missing key elements required by the question.

- Practice ahead of the exam using past year FRQs. This will give you an advantage of having an idea of what to expect in terms of complexity and length of the questions.

While you practice, make sure you're under conditions that simulate examination settings as much as possible. This includes setting a timer to help gauge if your pacing aligns with the actual exam pacing.

Remember to show as much of your work as possible. Even if you're unsure about your final answer, partial credit is often awarded for demonstrating correct methodology in your problem-solving approach. So the key is to also make your working professional and comprehensive. Take care and good luck with your exam prep!
