<p>I'm sooooo depressed now. NONE of my free response code matches exactly the same with the answer keys given by collegeboard, mine answer is always like 5 or even more lines and i used more instance variables than the answer key. Like my approach is entirely different than the given answer keys', I'm extremely frustrated.</p>
<p>think it through clearly on the test. i usually get crappy scores on mock ones too cuz im too lazy to really think.</p>
<p>ya i have a question about that say we have a similar approach but not the same one as what they have do we still get the credit? I dont mean like adding a ton of variables or anything, something simple like me using a for loop and they using a while loop.</p>
<p>Your method doesn’t need to be the exact same as the answer key as long as it just works. Using a for loop instead of a while loop really shouldn’t make a difference then. Seriously, people in my class come up with some crazy ways I’d never think of, show it to the teacher and get a strange look, but the code still works. Just figure out some way that makes sense to you for the problems and go with it.</p>
