free response
Write your thoughts
Free response describes a test question or survey item that requires an open-ended answer rather than selecting from predetermined choices.
Students write their own explanations, solutions, or essays: The AP exam includes both multiple choice and free response sections.
The format assesses deeper understanding but takes longer to grade than objective questions.
