Tips for DBQ/LE
When writing, set aside the initial time to plan and prepare. It will result in more efficient and organized writing. On the essays your time will be clumped together. You will get warnings when you’re nearing
the end of the DBQ, but you won’t be forced to move on. Stick to the assigned amount of time, if you
have time left over in the end, revisit the essays.
