When at the end of the 2000s educational functionaries in Russia promoted a single state examination( EGE), many were skeptical about the idea.

Now it is difficult to imagine a graduation from the school without the USE, the results of which affect not only the grades in the certificate, but also the chances of entering a higher education institution.

You should know how to prepare for the CSE on the history of , if this subject is necessary for you to enter an institute, university or academy.

It depends on the results of the passing of the unified state examination that largely depends on whether you become a student of the chosen university or not.

USE on history: to whom and why should we prepare for it?

It would seem that the introduction of the Unified State Exam is a revolutionary action in itself, but representatives of the Ministry of Education do not cease to carry out reforms in the field of a unified state examination.

So far, there are two compulsory school subjects, the delivery of which must be prepared for students: mathematics and the Russian language.

Last year Deputy Minister N. Tretyak suggested adding a third subject-the history that is mandatory for the USE, motivating such a decision by the scarcity of knowledge of Russian graduates about historical events and personalities. Such a reform was planned to be held already in 2017, but further business has not yet progressed.

Graduates of 2017 need to continue to prepare for the mandatory USE in two subjects( Russian language and mathematics).History they can choose as a profile subject, which they need to enter the university.

The USE on history should be prepared not only for those who are going to become a history teacher later, but also for applicants who dream of gaining a specialty in the field of:

  • tourism;
  • archeology;
  • of international relations;
  • journalism;
  • jurisprudence and many others.

As you can see, it is necessary to prepare for the EGE on history as carefully as possible in order to guarantee admission to a higher educational institution.

2 ways to prepare for CSE on the history of

There are two ways to prepare for the exam on history: independently and with the help of a tutor.

How will you prepare, decide for yourself. As for me, the best option is to combine both methods to get the maximum number of points in the exam.

What is distance learning?

1) Training with a tutor.

If you doubt that you can prepare yourself for the exam yourself, and your financial opportunities( more precisely, parents) are not too limited, it makes sense to hire a tutor to help you prepare for a history exam.

The tutor is needed not so much to give you the necessary amount of knowledge( they can be gleaned from textbooks and manuals), but in order to learn how to correctly answer questions.

A good tutor knows all the nuances of the USE tasks and is able to teach the student to perform them in such a way as to earn the maximum number of points.

To prepare for the CSE in history with the help of a tutor, it was necessary to:

  1. To choose only the practicing teacher / university professor in the tutoring.

    Ignore those who work on tutoring in their free time, which is not related to education.

  2. Do not be greedy, because a good specialist is really expensive.
  3. Thoroughly examine the candidates.

    Do not settle for the first option. Learn:

    • how many years this teacher / teacher is engaged in tutoring;
    • the number of his students who successfully passed the exam on history;
    • level of personal knowledge, etc.
  4. Take in the class to the maximum.

    Remember that your classes are for money, so the teacher should answer your questions, explain things that are not clear, etc.

  5. Do not be afraid to change mentor if you do not like classes with him.

    I'm sure it's not the only teacher / teacher in your village that is preparing for the exams on history. Surely you can find someone better.

2) Preparing for ege on the story yourself.

If your parents do not have money for a tutor or you could not find a really good specialist, do not get discouraged. You can fully prepare for the certification of knowledge yourself and get as a result of high scores.

Preparing for the CSE history will be most effective if you use the help:

  1. Tutorials and manuals.

    It is better to prepare for the surrender of history not with the help of high school textbooks, but in schoolbooks or specially developed manuals for these purposes.

10 tips from personal experience how to prepare for the CSE on the history of

Anya last year became a student of the Tyumen State University. She decided to master the specialty "Publishing" and for this she needed high marks of the Unified State Examination on history.

The task was facilitated by the fact that Anna made a choice of specialty even in the summer after the 10th grade, therefore, starting from September 2015, she began to actively prepare for a single state exam in those subjects that she needed for admission, including history.

Anna was preparing almost independently, without the help of paid mentors. According to the history of the girl scored 96 points, and this excellent result allowed her to become a student of the desired university.

How do I go to Oxford?

Here's what the newly-advised student advises to those who also decided to prepare for the exam on the history of their own:

  1. Classes should be given time every day - let it be only half an hour, but you can not do it in any case.
  2. The unimportant one or the other "does not exactly ask that" does not exist.

    Compilers of assignments on the USE have an excellent fantasy and sadistic inclinations, so they can make any topics and events there.

  3. If it is possible to prepare for the tests on your own, then it is better to check the tasks of Block C with an experienced teacher. Ana was helped by a neighbor-teacher.
  4. The passed material( especially dates, major events, names and the like) is outlined in tables and diagrams.
  5. Maps and visualization with pictures are a great help for learning.
  6. Dates, dates and dates again - no matter how disgusting they are, but it is necessary.
  7. Do not focus on any one historical epoch, for example, Kievan Rus, ignoring the other.

    The examiners have, of course, favorite topics( one of them is the USSR), but this does not mean that they will be the only ones in the assignments.

  8. Repeat the learned material at every opportunity.
  9. Examine the codifier to know how to evaluate a particular task, for which scores are taken, etc.

    This information is on the site http: //fipi.ru/ ege-i-gve-11 / demoversii-specifikacii-kodifikatory

  10. Respond to the tasks of Block C neutrally, without value judgments.

    It's a mistake to write like this: "Stalin is a tyrant and a satrap who destroyed millions of people. It's good that he finally died. "

    The idea, of course, is correct in fact, but consider that among the inspectors there may be an ardent Stalinist who obviously does not like such an assessment.

5 common mistakes of those who prepare for the exam on the history of

If you are preparing to pass the exam with a tutor( good, naturally), then he will tell you the main mistakes that must be avoided and in the process of preparation,and during the surrender.

But if you decide to prepare for the history exam yourself, then it's worth remembering what not to do if you need high scores.

  1. Just stock up on knowledge, and not systematically prepare for the USE.

    Yes, for the surrender of history you will need knowledge about historical events, characters, dates, terms, etc., but to learn it all does not mean to prepare for the exam.

    To this difficult exam it is necessary to prepare purposefully, relying on the tasks that were in previous years.

  2. Read, but do not teach.

    The fact that you simply read many textbooks, manuals, scientific and art books on historical topics does not at all mean that you remember what you read. Yes, now it seems to you that you all remember, but it will take very little time and knowledge to fade out of your head.

  3. Read, but do not note.

    Dates, terms, names, geographic and other names are what are forgotten first. If you start a notebook where you will write down all this, you can constantly refresh your knowledge and you will not forget anything at the history exam itself.

  4. To memorize, but do not understand.

    Yes, there are crampons which, thanks to the perseverance and good memory, can learn all the dates and details to answer the questions of the Unified State Examination, but there are not so many such students.

    The best method of preparation is to understand the reasons for the occurrence of a particular historical event, to build an associative series, and so on.

  5. Delay preparation for the last month / week.

    If you want to prepare for the exam as well as possible to get the highest score, start the process of preparation from the graduating class in September and do not finish it until the end of the school year.

You see that it's not so difficult to figure out how to prepare for the USE on history yourself. If you develop a plan for studying the material, if you do not become lazy, if you train a lot on ready tests, you will get a high score in the exam without problems.
