However, this does not mean that two OGEs can be limited. Schoolchildren will also have to take elective subjects, so from the beginning school year they think about what subjects to choose.

Perhaps the most popular subject in the category of selective disciplines can be called social studies. This OGE enrolls children who in the future wish to enter specialties of a natural-humanitarian or social-humanitarian nature, as well as students who do not have a craving for a particular profession. Such ninth-graders choose social studies, believing that this subject is one of the easiest in the school curriculum.

Unfortunately, this OGE is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Some tests can indeed be solved by reasoning, but most tasks will require knowledge of terminology, as well as an understanding of legal and social characteristics development of society. Besides, important point is awareness of the structure of KIM and OGE regulations in 2018.
