AP US History: DBQs 1973 Through 2007
This resource offers ALL of the DBQs in the official APUSH May Exam and is extremely useful. Especially useful is the fact that it is organized in chronological order as it appeared in history (and not by the year it was issued in), so the students can easily anticipate DBQs that might be given by teachers, as they can know the exact DBQs that tests on the time period they just studied in.
Some of the DBQs are in the "old-style DBQ" way, where the question directly involves a document and involves deeper analysis than the contemporary DBQ. However, the basic question can still be obtained from it, making it good practice.
The resource however, does not include the documents themselves. Nevertheless, knowing the questions would still be a good drill for the student to test themselves.
Furthermore, APUSH DBQs with the questions and the documents as well as the answer guidelines from the exams administered in 2001 - 2008.

Resource Review:
This is as official as it gets, as these are the official exams. While the MCs (multiple choice) are not included, the free response alone corresponds for 50% of the exam, with the DBQ accounting for 45% of the exam and the two essays together accounting for the remaining 55%. And as nothing serves better as an "essay improver" than practice, drilling yourself through these prompts is better and as realistic as it gets! Remember, these come from the testmaker itself! Even better is that the scoring guidelines offer what is "required" in each essay response. For example, when answering a question regarding Jamestown, "the starving times" would be listed in the answer key. With this useful resource containing both the prompts and the "scoring guidlines" aka "scoring key", you can both have the practice, the feel of the actual time constraints, as well as in the end see how well you did and review/remind/or learn any new concepts.
As a result, this resource is highly recommended to boosting the FRQ section score of the AP exam!
