AP European History

Tony Maccarella, author of Mastering the Essay for AP European History, walks you through the ins-and-outs of the 2020 AP European History 10-point DBQ rubric. Tony selected several DBQs from Mastering the Essay and modified them to align to the 2020 exam style. These free practice DBQs are available below in two formats: a simple PDF layout for individual use and a PowerPoint for virtual “in-class” display (for teachers). Tony is also answering some of the questions we’ve received and/or found online in various AP communities. You can view those videos below.
