Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DBQ in AP History?
The Document-Based Question is a large part of every AP History exam. You're given a set of historical documents - written sources, images, maps, data - and have to build an argument using them as evidence. It's worth 25% of your score. Readers want you to analyze their context, audience, and purpose, and weave in your own outside knowledge too. Past exams are the best way to get comfortable with it.
