Don't forget that we have access to a bunch of CollegeBoard Resources!:

On this page are all of the past FRQS from 1999 until 2013, along with the scoring guidelines, sample responses, and score distributions for all of these!
As for the DBQ, here is a link to the rubric:

Just an important thing to remember: You need to use outside information to get high scoring essays. Don't summarize or restate information in the prompts.
Honestly I feel like doing this is very important and has greatly aided me throughout my ventures. The college board does a really good job in giving examples of prompt that although may be different have the same style. This helped me a lot. Also, the examples of essays that they give are also very helpful. Overall it is a great way to prepare for an ap test
