Hey there! DBQ (Document-Based Question) practice is crucial for mastering this type of question in your history class. Fortunately, there are several resources available for you to practice with high-quality examples.

1. College Board: College Board has an extensive collection of DBQ samples, as they are the ones who create the AP exams. You'll find examples from various years, and they provide scoring guidelines and sample student responses as well. Just head to the College Board's website, search for "AP [Subject] released exams" or "AP [Subject] past prompts," and you'll find a plethora of DBQ examples for various subjects, including AP US History, AP World History, and AP European History.

2. Your history textbook: Sometimes, history textbooks have DBQ practice questions at the end of each chapter or in supplementary materials. These questions can be a valuable resource as they're designed to help you engage with the content in the textbook.

3. Teacher's resources: If you're able to, you can also ask your history teacher or school librarian for any DBQ practice materials they might have available. Many teachers have access to resources from their professional organizations or teacher-specific textbooks, which may contain additional DBQ examples.

4. Online databases: Websites like Albert.io and Khan Academy offer practice DBQ questions for various history courses. These can be great resources if you're looking for examples with detailed explanations and tips on how to approach the questions.

5. Study groups and forums: Lastly, consider joining study groups or online forums where students and teachers can exchange DBQ practice questions and discuss strategies. This can be an excellent way to find additional resources and engage with like-minded students who are also working on mastering DBQs.

Remember, practice is essential, so working through as many examples as possible will help you become more skilled and comfortable with DBQ questions. Good luck with your studies!
