Optional Practice Test online
It is really well done. PDF of two questions aligned exactly to this year's test. Then they have a YouTube video where a person goes through it and answers it for you. I would practice doing it just like you would on the test day. Then watch her review it to see how you did. 


YouTube Video: Reviews Answers to Practice Test

You may relate to this teacher's methods - so check her out.

Chad Smith from the AP Review of the 2nd DBQ Prompt called it UBOW:
The Brainstorm part or "Brain Dump" is writing down everything you can think of very quickly after first seeing the prompt. Then crossing off your list what is mentioned in the documents. What you have left is the "outside evidence" you could include in your answer.

AP TEST DEMO

https://ap2020examdemo.collegeboard.org/

If you go to that site, you can enter in PRACTICE for where the ID is and go through the demo of how the test will function on test day. It's not actual questions, but might make you feel more comfortable. You can do the demo as often as you would like. Might be nice to practice taking a photo of your work and uploading. Or typing it out like they described in the video or the AP Info from last week.
