In fact, the subject "social science" includes information on various aspects of society, studied within the whole class of humanities: economics, law, philosophy, sociology, political science and, to some extent, history.
The version of the KIM Unified State Examination in social studies has undergone minor changes. The developers have revised the difficulty of tasks 28 and 29, due to which the maximum primary score for the entire test has increased from 62 to 64.
EGE assessment

How it will be in 2019 is still not known for sure: you need to wait for an official order from Rosobrnadzor on the correspondence of primary and test scores. It will most likely appear in December. Considering that the maximum primary score has increased from 62 to 64, it is very likely that the minimum score may also change slightly.
In the meantime, you can focus on these tables:

Hello! Friends, today I continue to bombard the preparation for the exam. Social science is next in line, as many students choose it as a unified state exam. Therefore, preparing for the exam in social studies is of interest to a large number of students. At first glance, this seems to be an easy subject. Due to inadequate assessment of this discipline and its capabilities, it is often impossible to get the desired assessment. To avoid such consequences, careful preparation is required, which requires considerable effort.
Take courses and get a high score on the exam in social studies!
In 2018, testing in social studies includes two parts of 29 tasks:
- From 1 to 20, the task is supposed to give a short answer. From the proposed options, you need to choose the correct answer, insert a missing word in the text, or determine the correspondence of elements between two sets.
- From 21 to 29 tasks, full answers to questions and writing mini-essays are required.
In order to get at least a three last year, you had to score 19 points. You can earn them by completing, for example, the first 13 test tasks.
Preliminary preparation
If you are starting from scratch , remember that social science is a broad subject. Schoolchildren in a few years master the base of such complex scientific disciplines as sociology, political science, jurisprudence, economics ... Therefore, the material must be studied in advance. Better to start in 10th grade. Two years is enough to get a good score with constant preparation.
If you decide to prepare for the exam from the 11th grade, then you have only 9 months at your disposal. In this case, it will be difficult to master the subject on your own. Organizes the preparation process much more effectively.
But the worst thing is to start preparing in the winter or spring of grade 11. Not every teacher will take on such a difficult task, since he cannot guarantee a good result in such a short time. In addition, the less time left for the exam, the more excitement covers the student.
This significantly undermines self-confidence, and a student in a stressful state is not able to endure serious tests. After all, the course of social studies begins in the 6th grade. And what a genius you need to be to cover a six-year base. Rapid preparation always negatively affects the quality of learning. Therefore, putting off an important matter for later, remember that you risk a lot, and the exam is still inevitable.
Stages of preparation
- There are sites where you can download options for control and measuring material in social studies. Go through them completely.
- Assess if you need pedagogical help and seek it if necessary.
- Theory requires accumulation. But don't get too carried away by memorizing terms. It’s better to solve specific tasks for the exam so that full-fledged answers form in your head. And to cope with the theory, even at the initial stage of preparation, make a thematic reference book and constantly replenish it. When you come across a term, you can always quickly look it up in your homemade dictionary. Reread it before the exam to brush up on concepts.
- Express — preparation for the exam is not memorization, but what makes the student think. Try to look for a problem, contradictions in any topic, argue and analyze. Do not memorize the concept, but think about why and how it arose, without which it is impossible to imagine it, etc. Form your own definitions.
- For preparation, you will need full-fledged school notes, lectures, tables. If you don't have all the themes, then fix it. Having rewritten the topic once, certain material will already be deposited in your head.
- Any classifications that a book on social studies suggests should not be memorized mechanically. Look for their applications in life, give examples to any theoretical concepts.
- Writing an essay requires the skills that literature provides. But you have to write training papers in order to "check out", to learn how to convey the main idea through paper. At this stage, it is desirable that the teacher analyzes your essays, points out the shortcomings so that you have time to correct them. On the Internet there are schemes for writing an essay, a set of materials for this task, and even a collection of finished works.
Various video tutorials are posted online today , you can download the manual for sheep , which will greatly facilitate the preparation if you have little time and no opportunity to use the professional help of a teacher.
