Recently, early Unified State Examinations took place in one of the most difficult, but nevertheless popular exams - history and social studies. What to pay attention to and what should be repeated in the remaining time for those who will take the Unified State Exam in May-June are advised by the guys who have already passed this test.

Maria Toroptseva

I took the Unified State Examination in history early because I decided to transfer to another specialty. The exam was held in a standard manner, as last year. Nothing bad happened.

I came across a difficult option; I didn’t know the answers to some of the questions at all. I forgot many of the dates that were in the exam - I was probably worried.

Difficult map and the second part. In the collections I used to prepare, everything is generally much simpler.

I advise those who will take the test to study more about the 20th century and important events that took place in other countries.

Yana Veteranan

I can say that I didn’t feel that there was anything difficult, because I studied everything. There were tasks that I had to think about, namely the task with cards. The atmosphere was very tense for me, the inspectors turned out to be strict. What I didn’t like most was that we were seated about 30 minutes early. And then they printed KIMs in front of us.

I would advise you not to worry and not to pay attention to evil inspectors. Think not about how to score on the threshold, but about the maximum score you can get.

And one more thing: if you want to copy from a cheat sheet, it’s better to do it after an hour or two, because you’ll calm down and start thinking.

Social science:

Ksenia Lipinskaya

Overall, the social studies exam went better than I expected. There was a good second part, where there was not much politics and law. I spent about 30-35 minutes on the test, about 40 minutes on the essay, and the rest on tasks 21 to 28.

Difficulties were caused by the blocks “legislative process”, “powers of government bodies” in the test part and the criteria for determining the type of inflation: galloping, moderate and hyperinflation.

I didn’t expect that I would write an essay on the topic of economics, but there was no other choice - the other topics were not very clear. The observers were very polite, brought it to the audience, and explained everything in detail.

I would like to give some advice to those who will soon have to take the exam:

1) Do not think that you will definitely write an essay on the topic of sociology or economics, because they may be different. And sometimes it’s better to choose another block if you’re sure you can open it well.

2) If you can’t solve the test tasks, it’s better to leave them for later, since there are tasks in the test that everyone considers easy, but it can take you a long time to formulate your thoughts. Therefore, it is better to spend time on those items that will bring more points.

3) I handed in the work three minutes before the end of the exam. If you don’t worry and set yourself up for the fact that you won’t have enough time, then you will be able to focus on work without panicking. Remember to look at the time often, this will help you control yourself.

And go through the tasks in the collections - everything is very similar.

Igor Kopylov

I took the Unified State Exam early because I got low scores in some subjects last year and decided to improve. I didn’t know that the Unified State Exam will be taken again early. I found this out in December, when I submitted my application, and after that I began to intensively repeat and study the material for preparation. The last weeks before the exam were nervous. He devoted almost all his free time to preparation.

Control in the PES was at the highest level, it was impossible to spy, even sometimes observers allowed themselves to go into the toilet when test takers were there (which they do not have the right to do, by the way). The atmosphere in the classrooms was working, there were young and not so young people sitting there, who came there consciously, and not according to the instructions of their parents and teachers. Most of the guys left immediately after writing the first part. Judging by the structure of the papers, I can say that they seemed even easier to me than in the exams a year ago. Perhaps it seemed so to me because I was better prepared, or maybe I just came across an easy option, the Unified State Exam is a big lottery.

A couple of tips for those taking the Unified State Exam during the main period:

1) Prepare systematically, plan the time you have and follow the program.

2) Don’t decide anything on the eve of the exam, you can only repeat the theory, otherwise your thoughts will be confused during the exam.

3) Don’t be afraid that you won’t pass, because you can always try again, it’s not critical.

4) Allocate time during the exam itself. Because four hours isn't that long when you're writing part C of social studies.

Good day, dear applicants. Many of you are interested in what happened behind the scenes of the early Unified State Exam 2016. This was preceded by dozens of messages in my personal VKontakte and I will lift the veil of secrecy for you, tell you about my impressions of checking the second part and we will analyze with you the real version of the second part and tell you about that What does the early Unified State Exam look like this year?

Impressions from the early stage

Let's start with my impressions of the first part, which, I admit, I saw briefly. But with a quick run through the option, I can say the following: the early Unified State Exam was not difficult. I will substantiate this on real tasks. As you know, this year they radically changed the structure of the entire work - they removed the test part and rearranged the tasks of the current first one. According to a quick analysis of the option, the first five tasks and Nos. 7-9, 11 were given without any difficulties to those who worked out the dates and worked with official documents, including the list of dates from FIPI. There would be no surprises here, as I believe, for a prepared person

Next you will be greeted with the following type of tasks: working with a map and illustrative material. From the maps, I can remember a map of the settlement of tribal unions of the Eastern Slavs, there was a map for the era of feudal fragmentation, the Battle of Kursk, the socio-economic development of Russia in the 19th century... Something, of course, could cause difficulties, but there were no surprises from the compilers , according to the type of names of merchants/names of plants and factories, as last year

“Pictures” pleased the majority of applicants. The only difficulty was caused by a friend whose famous children's song is attached below. Whoever found out, write in the comments :) It was necessary to choose 2 positions for him and the composer with whom he/she collaborated. I'm waiting for your suggestions. For the rest: Vysotsky, Tsoi, the main architectural monuments of the 18th century, posters from the 20-30s of the 20th century

Well, now let’s move on to the analysis of the tasks of the second part:

Assignments No. 20-22: early Unified State Examination in history 2016

No. 20. What period in the history of the USSR are we talking about in the article? Name, using knowledge from the history course, the two main opposition I.V. Stalin's directions among the party elite of the described time. What were the features of their views?

No. 22. Indicate at least five reasons that, according to S.A. Kislitsyn, led to the destruction of the internal party opposition to Stalin

Test solution

So, how can you complete this task? Naturally, reading the text 🙂 The murder of Kirov, for the knowledgeable boys and girls, already says that this is the 1930s. The groups are secretly highlighted in the text: S. Syrtsova and T. Ryutin (supporters of the liberalization of the Soviet Union and moderate reforms). Well, let’s touch on the “party boyars”, tell you who they are and get 2 points for the twentieth task

Goal: establishing a centralized system of state power and control of the masses

Facts and phenomena:
1) Many representatives of the Red Army were repressed (example: Tukhachevsky, Blucher)
2) During the Soviet-Finnish war, a serious blow was dealt to the country’s defense capability

1. Fetishization of the CPSU (b)
2. Infantilism
3. Separation from the people
4. Ambitiousness of party members
5. Detachment from human values

We will continue to work on the option in the following articles, very, very soon, if this article receives a response. Like, share articles on social networks, so you help the project and then we will analyze the early Unified State Examination in History 2016 as soon as possible. See you soon, Ivan Nekrasov was with you. Bye everyone!

The federal examination in history belongs to the category of selective Unified State Exams. It must be taken if the student plans to continue studying at a university that requires this certificate. History will be useful if you have chosen law, sociology, art history, cultural studies, design, or architecture as your professional activity. This subject is traditionally considered difficult by graduates.

Passing history requires not just cramming dates or names, but also the ability to handle facts, draw informed conclusions and reasonedly express one’s attitude to processes and phenomena. To successfully pass the history exam, you should learn about possible changes in KIMs, have an idea of ​​what is included in the 2017 Unified State Examination, and know how to prepare for writing a historical essay. Let's talk about this in more detail!

Demo version of the Unified State Exam-2017

Unified State Exam dates in history

Specialists from Rosobrnadzor have allocated the following dates for the Unified State Examination in History:

• Early period. The early exam will be held on March 16, 2017, with April 3, 2017 set aside as a reserve day. To take the exam ahead of the main deadline, you will be required to write an application (before March 1, 2017), and also be included in one of the categories of participants in the early Unified State Examination (the list of such persons is given below);
• Main stage. The main exam is scheduled for June 2, 2017.
• Reserve date. Reserve day – June 19, 2017 (in case of force majeure, there is another reserve day for all items – June 30, 2017).

No matter how much one would like to pass the test in the form of the Unified State Exam early, not everyone can pass history ahead of schedule. Those who have the right to take the Unified State Exam early include:

• graduates of previous years and those who graduated from evening school;
• participants in all-Russian or international sports competitions, competitions, creative shows or olympiads that will be held during the Unified State Exam;
• eleventh graders who decided to go to university before going to university;
• schoolchildren whose health requires treatment or prevention;
• graduates leaving the territory of Russia due to a change of residence or to study at a foreign university.

Statistical information

Statistics from past years confirm that history is one of the most popular elective subjects - in 2016, more than 159 thousand students applied for this Unified State Exam (in 2015 there were 20 thousand fewer). However, this test is not at all easy for eleventh graders. A check of this exam found that as many as 15.9% of graduates were unable to overcome the minimum limit.

Soon, the history exam may become one of the three mandatory exams

However, this indicator has improved slightly compared to the previous period, when about 16.5% were recorded as failing students (with a smaller number of examinees). There were very few guys with the highest scores - only 96 people were able to demonstrate perfect knowledge and write the exam without a single mistake. On average, students pass history with 46.7 points, which can be interpreted as a “satisfactory” grade.

All this indicates that you will have to devote a lot of time and effort to preparing for the story in order to show a decent result. In addition, recently there have been more and more rumors that a third compulsory subject will be introduced into the exams. History has a very high chance of being included in the top three Unified State Exams, which are compulsory.

Changes in KIMs in history

According to the information provided, no changes are expected in the structural and content of tickets for this discipline. Among the changes it is worth noting:

• increasing the score for correct completion of tasks No. 3 and No. 8, which are now worth 2 points instead of 1;
• clarifications in the wording of task No. 25.

Structure and content of the Unified State Examination in History

History KIM consists of 25 tasks, which are divided into two parts:

• Part 1 includes 19 tasks requiring a short answer in the form of a number, a sequence of numbers, a word or a phrase;
• Part 2 consists of 6 tasks in which you need to give a detailed answer. In this part of the exam you will also have to write a short historical essay on the periods offered to choose from.

Although this exam is popular, it is still considered quite difficult

This Unified State Exam will require students to demonstrate skills in searching and systematizing historical information, as well as experience working with maps and diagrams, knowledge of key dates and periods in the history of Russia and foreign countries, understanding of terminology, basic historical facts, processes and phenomena, the ability to work with historical texts.

Tasks of increased complexity are aimed at testing the skills of conducting structural-functional, spatial and temporal analysis when working with historical sources, factual material, phenomena and processes, as well as the ability to operate with historical information when conducting a discussion and writing an essay.

The procedure for conducting the Unified State Examination in History

The time allotted by FIPI for the examination will be 235 minutes. The Unified State Exam in History does not require the graduate to have any additional materials. For the Unified State Exam, you will only need a pen, so you will have to leave all unnecessary items outside the door. You should not try to bring reference books, smartphones or smart watches with you in the hope that you can copy the answers.

Any of these items will be a clear reason for removing you from the exam and giving you an unsatisfactory grade. In addition, in order to conduct the Unified State Exam, it is stated that students are strictly prohibited from leaving the classroom without permission and the accompaniment of observers, getting up from their seats, turning to their neighbors and discussing anything with them.

To prepare for the Unified State Exam, it is important to use textbooks and demo versions of tasks

How is the Unified State Examination in history assessed?

Let us remind you that the minimum that a student must score in this subject is 32 points. We also advise you to pay attention to the information that in 2017, Unified State Exam scores can be taken into account in your school certificate. If we convert the obtained points into the usual grading system, then the distribution is as follows:

• graduates who scored from 0 to 31 points demonstrated unsatisfactory knowledge, therefore these points are equivalent to a mark of “2”;
• students who scored from 32 to 49 points know history at a satisfactory level, their grade is “3”;
• high school students who received from 50 to 67 points know the subject well, so they receive a mark of “4”;
• graduates who scored 68 points or higher on the exam have excellent knowledge and receive a “5”.

You will be able to view your exam scores at the announced time by registering on the Unified State Exam portal. To identify your identity, you will need to enter your passport information.

Preparing for the Unified State Exam in History

The overall complexity and large number of tasks in history KIMs will require you to competently distribute the time allotted for solving them. Getting ready to work under stress is, of course, not easy, but anxiety can be minimized. To do this, take the demo version of the Unified State Exam at home, which is offered for download on our website (see above).

This way you can reduce the time lost associated with understanding the instructions, and also prepare yourself psychologically for the exam. The proposed demo version was developed by employees of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements, so the tasks that will be in the real KIM are similar to the trial ones in terms of topics and wording.

Essay is an important and integral part of the history exam in 2017

How to write an essay?

It is advisable to spend no more than 45-60 minutes on this part of the work. When preparing, you should familiarize yourself with the topics of previous years and write a test essay on each topic according to the requirements stated by FIPI. To get a good grade for an essay, you need to follow the plan proposed by the methodologists, which includes the following points:

1. Write an introduction of several sentences that characterizes the period as a whole.
2. Outline two phenomena, events or processes that became significant for the specified period.
3. Give examples of two historical figures who played a significant role in the processes and events described; indicate exactly how they influenced a given historical period.
