Porcelain, that “8-9 paragraphs” is a complete lie. I’ve already gotten a 9 this year on one essay and I wrote 5 paragraphs (the last being my conclusion and was very short) and my teacher is an AP grader. Also, I’ve gotten one 8 with 4 paragraphs and several sevens with 4 paragraphs(only 4 paragraphs because I take too much time and dont reach a conclusion normally), so a normal length essay is fine. Within the time constraints 8-9 paragraphs is impossible.

MrWheezy, what do you mean by “my documents dont exactly fit into my thesis”? You do NOT put your documetns in your thesis. I haven’t taken AP World yet, but (i think) you have to group documents for world? If so, this is not true for APUSH. You do not group. You use them individually. I will message you showing a proper DBQ with an example prompt, but if you look at the college board site I think you can find one. I have to go pretty soon, but I’ll message you around 9 PM my time and hopefully clarify it further…
