Training work on the history of the exam

19.12.2021

Passing the Unified State Exam in history is a prerequisite for admission to a number of prestigious professions: advertising and marketing, tourism business, law, journalism. Last year, 21% of all graduates chose this subject; But not everyone manages to pass this test with dignity. What's the catch?

The Unified State Examination in history covers the entire period from the era of the first ancient Russian princes to the reforms of the 21st century. All tasks must be completed in 235 minutes (this is almost 3 hours; time, if distributed rationally, is quite enough).

History this year is taken in the form of an exam consisting of two parts:

Part I, consisting of 19 multiple choice questions;
and part II, which includes 6 tasks that involve the integrated use of students’ knowledge and skills.

11th grade takes an exam on the same topics as 9th grade graduates; but the level of complexity is almost an order of magnitude higher. In the Unified State Examination in History there are no test items in the usual sense of the word; all questions require a multiple-choice answer. Tasks are divided into 3 levels according to degree of difficulty:

Basic level (in the codifier it is marked with the letter “B”) – contains 16 tasks;
Advanced level (“P”) – 8 questions;
AND high level(B), which involves knowledge outside the school course: includes 7 tasks.

The passing threshold this year is 9 primary points(or 32 secondary, “test”). For a conditional “four” you need to score at least 24 primary (50 test) points. “Five” starts from 39 primary points.

In total, you can get 55 primary points for the exam: 31 for the first part, 24 for the second. In this case, task No. 25, if performed correctly, gives 11 points (almost half the “cost” of the entire second part).

The early examination period is scheduled for April 2018, while the main stage will take place in early June. The exact date of the exam will be known at the end of November.

Planned changes

There are no official changes to the Unified State Exam in History 2018. The structure adopted in 2017, the formulation of topics and the principles for assessing answers have been preserved. Explicit changes to the Unified State Exam in history are planned only from next year. The Ministry of Education insists on the inclusion of history among the core subjects, along with the Russian language and mathematics. So 2018 may be the last year that history surrenders by choice.

The history demo caused some concern: the 2018 Unified State Exam, compared to 2017, will be more difficult, not least due to the increase in the number of questions requiring knowledge of General history. A significant part of the questions, especially the second part, are aimed at additional lessons with a tutor.

In the first part, you need to give a short answer to each question. This could be a word (or phrase), name, date, location or event. All these questions are aimed at testing knowledge of historical facts, as well as basic skills. In this part, the student will be offered several types of tasks for each of the time sections:

Establishing a chronological sequence (question No. 1);
Selecting the correct items from the list (No. 7);
Establishing correspondence between a historical fact and its characteristics (No. 2, 5, 9, 11, 17);
Finding a pattern according to which a number of historical terms or dates are formed (No. 3);
Determination based on the given characteristics of a historical fact: date, title, name, term, etc. (No. 4, 8, 10);
Brief analysis of the text with the choice of correct judgments from the proposed list (No. 6, 12);
Working with graphic material (No. 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19)

Part 2 contains:

3 tasks testing how well students have learned to work with historical texts (questions 20 – 22);
2 tasks in which you will have to determine cause-and-effect relationships, argue your point of view, analyze historical facts and points of view (No. 23, 24);
And an essay on historical topics on one of the proposed eras (No. 25).

The last task requires the student to use all the knowledge and skills acquired in history lessons.
