Practice long essay questions and see exactly which rubric points you earned. LEQs are scored against the same rubric categories as DBQs minus document sourcing: thesis, contextualization, evidence, and analysis & reasoning.
LEQ Rubric Points
- Thesis/Claim (1 pt) — A historically defensible claim with a line of reasoning
- Contextualization (1 pt) — Broader historical context beyond the prompt
- Evidence (2 pts) — Specific, relevant historical evidence supporting the argument
- Analysis & Reasoning (2 pts) — Complex understanding using historical thinking skills
