How to Write a DBQ The purpose of a DBQ is not to test your knowledge of world history, but to evaluate your ability to practice skills used by historians. In order to write a DBQ, you will answer a question by analyzing several historical documents. This is a skill that must be practiced. Although you may struggle at first, do not get discouraged. Remember, there is not an actual right or wrong answer. Your answer is YOUR interpretation of the documents.
