<p>Generally, how long do DBQs have to be if I'm seeking a 5 on the exam? FRQs? Thanks!</p>
<p>As long as it takes. I say, take up at least one full page.</p>
<p>definitely more than a page</p>
<p>you need a good intro, and a somewhat shorter conclusion</p>
<p>you'll be graded on how well you tie the documents to your thesis. so dont just explain each of them.</p>
<p>the more documents you use the better, and I think graders prefer stating the documents in your own words (to show you understand it) than to direct quotation (but this is rather minor I think)</p>
<p>just use as many documents as you possibly can and include plenty of pov's</p>
