Here are Sample Responses

This is divided into three parts. Part one contains standards, scoring guidelines and sample responses for the Short Answer portion of the test.

Part Two contains standards, scoring guidelines and sample responses for the DBQ portion of the test, followed by the standards, scoring guidelines and sample responses to two Long Essays.

If you see old tests, they did not contain the Short Answer part of the test. The DBQ was called DBQ, and the Long Essays were called FRQ. I get in the habit of using the old names, on the other hand if you are using online resources from other schools you are going to see these names for the parts of the test. So you should know all of the germane terminology for what you're working with.
