Is DH enough for DBQ and FRQ?

Hi, everybody. I want to self-study AP USH and I find DH really useful for the MC part. But I am wondering whether it is still useful to the DBQ and FRQ? Acutally DH (same as REA) is all about key points without much general background? So do I need to prepare AMSCO to back up my essay part?</p>

DH is very good because it succinctly gives you the necessary information. This makes it great for the SATII and the AP MC portion… but you are right. I felt it was a little lacking when it came to the knowledge needed for the essay part.</p>

So if you have the time, you should definitely read through AMSCO/your textbook.</p>
