<p>I wasn't aware that we had to use half +1 of the documents will it lower my score if I didn't use that many? Also, if I made factual errors on our DBQ's will that severely damage my score for that section?</p>
<p>It’s contingent upon how well you wrote the essay. Although it’s recommended that you use half +1 of the documents, it is NOT required. I’m pretty sure the rubric says “adequate amount of documents used” or something like that. If you wrote a killer essay though, you’ll be good.</p>
<p>^^oh shoot i only used 5 documents…</p>
<p>yea i used 4… ouch. But I incorporated tons of outside knowledge so I hope that makes up for it? And my errors…</p>
