This video is based on the 2017/2018 AP World History DBQ rubric, which predates the current AP World History: Modern course redesign and subsequent rubric updates. Some scoring criteria, terminology (e.g., synthesis as a separate element), and exam structure details may differ from the current 2025 DBQ rubric.
