Specific studies for freerolls? No. You'll do fine with simple ABC poker.
Go through our free course, and after that you are already more knowledgeable than half of your opponents.

In freerolls, you'll encounter players who don't follow standard poker strategy, so you have to adapt.

There is no point in trying to become good at specifically freerolls. You cant lose in freerolls, and mostly the money at stake is so small, that it does not matter much, if you win more or less than the average player. Freerolls should only be played for fun or to practice with the goal of getting good enough to beat microstakes games, which is anything below $5. As for study material you can start with the CC 30-day course. It pretty much cover all the fundamentals.

Freerolls are in general wil, with a lot of people playing without much commitent so the level of recreational plays are way more common.
Play tighter at the beginning, do not overcommit or ego hero call and try to accumulate a healthy stack. As other said, you need to adjust your game and don't expect reasonal game from your opponents

I think you can learn the basics of the game from freerolls, because of the number of people who sign up. If you want to learn more, it's good to switch to tournaments with a buy-in.

I think the best way to learn is through experience. The more you play, the more you'll see how other players approach the game, recognize their tendencies, and pick up on common patterns. Over time, you'll probably realize that these tournaments are easier than you initially thought once you understand how most players think and play

The best study is defeat, learning from mistakes makes you stronger, preparing for bad streaks is the main thing, that's the best thing to gradually level up so that all those obstacles will remain etched in your memory.

Here at CC there is a lot of material to study, there are videos on YouTube, there is also a sub-forum for evaluating hands in both tournaments and cash, there you can post your hands and you will receive good advice.

get the free version of GTO WIZARD and learn preflop ranges. Also save your hands played and you can look at post flop play 1 hand a day.

Freerolls require some specific adjustments despite following standard tournament strategy. The best approach is to play patiently early on, exploit loose opponents with strong hands, become more aggressive as the field shrinks, understand ICM near the final table, and use freerolls to gain experience and build a bankroll without financial risk.

When a player realizes they have a freeroll, they should try to raise as much as possible—they have nothing to lose, but they can also gain. At the same time, the second player, unaware of the situation, can play into the first player's hands by raising with their current high hand.The usual purpose of such tournaments is advertising.
