When choosing a future profession, the question arises about the place of further study. You can get into the best university in the country and the most demanded faculty only if you have received an estimate close to 100 points for all the required USE. If historical knowledge is required for the chosen specialty, you should find out how to better and more effectively prepare for the USE in history in order to earn the maximum possible points.

USE 2018 in history

History in 2018 is an optional exam. The right to choose is given to the student himself, and depends on the university and the direction of specialization where it is decided to enter.

For those who pass history, the road opens to the top universities of the country in the most diverse areas.

What tasks does the exam include?

You can get acquainted with the demo version of the USE 2018 in history on the official website www.fipi.ru/. The exam consists of 2 parts, it includes 25 tasks.

The first part covers 19 tasks that test the basic level of knowledge. Almost all of them offer answer options. It is required to correctly enter the desired number in the allocated cells.

The second part consists of 6 tasks of increased complexity.

• Tasks from 20 to 22 are performed on the basis of the excerpt from the document given in the text of the exam. They test not only knowledge of history, but also the ability to analyze and systematize the proposed documentary source.
• Questions 23 and 24 are well-reasoned mini-works of reasoning, in which, based on a given historical material, you need to bring at least 2 facts to prove your thoughts. Otherwise, the points will be reduced.
• Task 25 is a real composition based on one of the proposed historical periods of time. The task is the most capacious in terms of points (11 points), but also the most difficult.

It is almost impossible to prepare for the USE in history in a month due to the huge amount of information

Examples of

The website https://hist-ege.sdamgia.ru/ is convenient for preparing for the exam. In it you have the opportunity to pass the entire test in its entirety and find out the points awarded, or you can select a separate topic and work through the proposed tasks on it. All options are updated monthly. A timer is also installed that records the elapsed time for responses.

Several examples of suggested assignments.

Task 1. It is necessary to correctly arrange 3 events in chronology:

1. The murder of Prince Igor.
2. Foundation of Novgorod.
3. Formation of the empire of Charlemagne.

Not only historical knowledge related to Russia is required, but also basic information on world history. An event from 1 point happened in 945, from 2 points - in 862 and from 3 points - in 800. The answer to 1 task should look like this: 321.

Task 2. It is required to establish a correspondence between events and dates:

When completing this task, you should find events that are 100% known. For example, the baptism of Russia (988) and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (1941). Further, from the remaining dates, you need to remove those that are definitely not suitable: 2013 and 1054. 1564 and 1648 remain. The reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov is known for several riots, among which there was a salt one. It must correspond to 1648. Answer: A-5, B-3, B-6, G-2.

Task 9. Indicate the correspondence of the terms and the rulers at whose time they appeared.

Answer: A-3, B-1, B-2, B-5.

Task 25. It is proposed to write an essay, choosing one of the periods: 1425–1505, 1762–1796, 1941–1943. You should indicate at least 2 personalities of this period and 2 events.

When choosing the period 1941-1943, it is known that the Great Patriotic War was famous for a large number of military leaders: Zhukov G.K., Rokossovsky K.K., Govorov L.A. The commander-in-chief was I.V. Stalin. The most famous battles and events in the initial period of the war: the battle for Moscow, the battle of Stalingrad, the defense of Leningrad, the defense of Sevastopol.

How to quickly and effectively prepare for the exam in history

It is impossible to gain in-depth knowledge of Russian history in a short period of time. In addition, the USE contains tasks that require basic knowledge of world history. Due to the large volume, preparation for the history exam should be done in advance, from grade 10. For 2 years, you can work out in depth the material that covers not only knowledge of dates, events and figures, but also the ability to work with maps, analyze historical documents.

If you decide to take history, it is better to start preparing for the exam at least a year in advance.

Study the subject yourself or contact a tutor? This issue is decided by everyone individually. It should be borne in mind that no tutor can put a large number of dates and events into his head. You will have to memorize it yourself. A good tutor will be able to guide and organize the preparation process, talk about the subtleties and criteria for evaluating assignments.

In a few months

When preparing for history, it will be more difficult to master deeply all the historical material in a few months.

• It is recommended that you practice the subject every day. It is not worthwhile to pounce on history one day and then forget about it for a week.
• Classes should be divided into several parts. In 1 part, study the theory. The educational material is not easy to read, but to draw up a plan or outline based on the information that was gleaned from the topic under study. Take a short break for better assimilation of the material. Then, in 2 parts, solve tests on the theory read, of which a large variety is offered on the Internet. This will help to assimilate and consolidate the topic.
• Based on the worked out material, it is recommended to study all the maps available in the textbooks, view illustrations and posters related to the period in question.
• While resting, do not relax. You need to usefully spend your free time watching documentaries on historical topics.

When studying topics, you should arrange them in the correct chronological order, without tearing out separate pieces of material. Then the cause-and-effect relationships of all subsequent events will be clear.

For 1 month

The less time is left before the exam, the less material the examinee can learn. In a month, one can only superficially study the main moments of history. It is impossible to get an in-depth knowledge of the subject in such a short period.

In 25 tasks, usually 3 options for historical periods are offered. As practice shows, the 20th century is always present in them. It is worth paying more attention to the study of materials on this time: characteristics of historical figures, their reforms, events. There will not be enough time for a detailed study of other periods.

It is impossible to independently study and systematize all the historical material in a month. You can use the services of professionals. A number of universities offer express training for the exam. You should choose an educational institution in which history is a core subject.

1-2 weeks in advance

It is impossible to prepare a few weeks before any exam. In such a short period of time, you can only go through the entire material once again, refreshing it in your memory. Even if the student has a unique memory for the week, you can only memorize the dates and names of the main personalities. But there is hardly time left for the study of historical documents, reforms, maps and illustrations, a deep study of any historical period for writing an essay. You should not count on a high score with this approach to the subject.

How to properly allocate time for the exam

All history tasks are given 3 hours and 55 minutes. To be able to complete time-consuming tasks, you need to properly distribute the examination time. Do not spend more than 3-5 minutes on each question from Part 1. If in doubt, it is best to move on to the next questions. After passing all the tasks of the 1st part, you should return to the unanswered questions and try to consider them again.

You can take 10-15 minutes to complete the tasks of the 2nd part. The time should be allocated in such a way that there is a free hour for the essay on task 25.

Some students try to start with part 2, getting carried away with writing an essay. It is difficult to control time on the exam, so this approach may lead to the fact that there will be no time left for completing other tasks. In addition, starting with difficult tasks, you can panic when you discover a lack of knowledge on the proposed tasks. It is recommended to move from simple to complex. This will help you better tune in to more difficult questions.

Having chosen a specialty for which the results of the exam in history are required, you need to properly organize training. It is required to rationally allocate time between studying theory, performing tests, acquaintance with historical maps and illustrations. A minimum of 2 hours a day should be set aside for preparation. It is recommended to study topics in chronological order. Coming to the consideration of the next period, constantly refer to the materials already covered, consolidating them. It is quite possible to prepare for the exam on your own. A good tutor can only give the right direction, explain the subtleties of the design of the 2nd part of the assignments.

Hello, dear readers of the site, applicants, teachers and, probably, parents! All of you, of course, are rooting for applicants to pass the USE by 100 points and enter prestigious universities. This desire is understandable. However, its execution depends on the quality of the preparation itself.

In the last post, when we analyzed Khrushchev's rule, I promised that I would post a post on this topic. Preparing for an exam in history is quite a serious business and you should not approach it dismissively. In this article, I’ll just sort out the mistakes that 95% of all guys make, and also outline the paths you follow to successfully prepare for the story.

It is no secret that there is a lot of material on history, and learning it all is an extremely time-consuming task. How to do it correctly? Read on and find out!

Many students make unforgivable mistakes. Now I will list them, if you do this, stop doing it. So, preparing for the exam in history is correct!

Common preparation mistakes

Mistake # 1... Students simply read the history textbook thinking they will remember everything after reading it. When they have read it, we are sure that they know the topic. Alas - this confidence is refuted by the very first screening test.

OUTPUT: Reading is not a high-quality memorization of the material!

Mistake # 2. Students hope to be able to study the material a week before the exam. As a result, they drag out the study of the material, then "wake up" and realize that they are not doing anything, since there is clearly a lot of material.

OUTPUT: never delay the study of the material, especially on history !!!

Mistake number 3. Students read the textbook, try to memorize all the dates and definitions - but it does not work, since there are a lot of them.

OUTPUT: never try to learn everything thoroughly - it is impossible, unless you have a photographic memory!

Mistake # 4. Students begin to prepare for the USE in history 10 months before the USE and do it sequentially, studying topics in chronological order. As a result, they only have time to prepare on the topics, but do not have time to solve the tests, to work out the skill of solving them.

OUTPUT: if you started preparing for the USE in history in grade 11, then prepare not in chronological order.

Now I’m actually explaining exactly how to prepare for the exam. There are two ways.

The first way

You have been preparing since grade 10. In this case, it is necessary to prepare according to chronology, sequentially. That is, first, Ancient Russia ... etc. by periods. After studying each period, you must run tests right away... How exactly do you teach? Take a notebook with notes (school or the one that was filled out during preparation with a tutor), take a normal manual, and cards. Maps can be downloaded from the Internet. Also prepare a blank sheet of paper and a pen.

Choose a topic. First, you read the notebook, refreshing the general material in your memory, then read the SAME TOPIC in the textbook, or manual, comparing what is new in the textbook and what is not in the notebook. In parallel, look at the map corresponding to this period. On a sheet of paper, write down a plan for an ORAL answer to this topic. The plan should be complete, but the wording itself is short. The volume of the plan should not exceed a notebook sheet, but it should be segmented into paragraphs and subparagraphs.

By doing this, you immediately hone at least three skills: the skill of working with texts, the skill of generalizing the material and writing it down in a new concise form - a plan. The skill of finding new information in addition to what has already been learned. In addition, by making an outline for each topic studied, you will receive short answer plans for all topics of the course! In the future, in order to remember the material, it will be enough just to look at the plan! A history course worked out in this way will be the guarantor of your quality training.

Instead of cards and books, it is better to use. After all, the visual presentation of the material is 5-10 times more efficient.

The second way

You have been preparing since grade 11. In this case, you do not have time for consistent study. Rather, there is. But in order to properly work on each topic, you will have to spend at least 3-4 hours a day! Indeed, in each topic there are personalities, wars, reforms, etc. Therefore, you are preparing in blocks. For example: block “Foreign policy. Interaction with the South. " Here you are looking for all the wars that Russia waged with the East and South, from Ancient Rus to 1991. You disassemble these wars according to plan: Prerequisites, Causes, Reason, Course of Events, Results.

Write down the plan of each war in a separate notebook. Of course, you use maps, manuals, the Internet. Next, take a topic, for example "Serfdom", and look for all the material from 1497 to 1861. Make a plan on this topic as short as possible, but complete in content.

Of course, after each topic you solve thematic tests. In doing so, you, firstly, create a plan for each topic, and secondly, study the entire topic completely from start to finish! Having studied all the topics in this way, you will not have to think about those periods that you did not have time to study! This is simply not possible with this approach!

Here, dear friends, we are preparing for the exam in history! Of course, you may think that this is unrealistic. But believe me, the main thing in preparing for the exam is not memorizing the material, but its systematization! Look also at this material on self-preparation for the exam ... And memorization happens by itself after working through each topic independently directly in the course of systematization!

The third way

Today, however, self-study is not good at all for several reasons. The main ones are the illusions of the guys about their time, as well as the illusion that they just have an excellent memory, thanks to which they will instantly remember everything.

In fact, when they start analyzing topics, there is despondency, and sometimes even nervous breakdowns - because there is really a lot of material.

Therefore, the third way to properly prepare for the USE in history is associated with professional training, when a professional prepares you for the USE. I am such a pro, and since 2015 we have opened our training courses, in which the whole theory is laid out on the shelves, according to the Unified State Exam Codifier.

Thanks to our courses, dozens of children have already passed exams for points above 90 (!) In this discipline and entered the university on a budget. Because in our courses we also build an individual strategy for admission to the university. Nobody does this, only us!

Where to start, everyone who is faced with the study of history asks the question. Remember once and for all - history is a plot and structural subject.

What is history made of?

Like any humanities, history has a clear structure. It is according to her that the FIPI specialists draw up the exam. Dealing with it is the first step to a conscious study of history.

The exam contains three types of items that test various aspects of the discipline.

This is how the detailed diagram looks like, which you need to understand and remember in order to work productively with the course in any form. Tutors rarely talk about it, they don't study it in schools. Although there is nothing supernatural about it.

As you can see, history is divided into only three structural categories: dates, plots and sources. To successfully complete the course, you need to understand the content of each of the categories and always correlate any studied topic with this scheme, making a "blind synopsis".

Using a specific example, we will figure out why this scheme is needed, what is meant by each of its constituent parts, and how to apply it when solving USE tasks.

Dates

Or where to start studying history.

There are many historical dates. On the Web, you can find huge lists of dates that supposedly need to be learned and you will definitely pass the exam. Textbooks are teeming with thousands of dates. In fact, 99% of them do not need to learn, and on the Internet, most of the public pages are run by schoolchildren who themselves do not know how to prepare for the exam.

The Dates block consists of two parts - base and main dates.

Base dates are the main basis of history. It is with their study that you need to start preparing for the exam. Base dates include: years of reign of historical figures and their brief description. It will take about ten days to study the basis. After this moment, you can already successfully start studying the course in any way available to you.

What do we need?

To work with the rulers of Russia, we need the following table.

The algorithm for working with it is as follows:

In the course of viewing, go over the column "Value" that you wrote out and as soon as you get to the event written out on your sticker, add it with the date (available in the video).

Let's summarize: you will have an understanding that the ruler is in front of you and with what he is eaten.

Then it remains to remember his years of reign. Take advantage of this spaced repetition technique... Just make it a rule to pay attention to the sticker every 15 minutes, after the first hour of repetition - try to remember the years of reign yourself. If you are preparing from scratch, then translate the years of government into a century and remember it already.

Your goal is to build the structure of history in your head: which ruler is following whom and what role he played in the history of the country. Cope with the first sticker? Move on to the second.

The result of the work: the emergence of the basis of history in memory, the studied material will not turn into a "mess in the head", but will be built in a clear structure. Spend 10 days on this work and I assure you that your efforts will pay off.

How to understand which dates are needed and which are not?

A document called the historical and cultural standard will come to your aid.
On the exam, you will meet the dates that are contained in it and nothing else.

How to study dates correctly, not to cram them and memorize them in a matter of minutes - I tell during my weekly marathon. You can find the link above.

Thus, knowing the dates and general plots will give you the opportunity to effectively solve many tasks of the exam on knowing the dates and will cover a third of the USE tasks.

USE assignments for knowledge of historical dates

Plots

Let's move on to the next part - plots.

History is like a TV series. There is a sequence of events where the other follows from one... As in the series there is the characters are historical figures... As in the TV series, the story is filled with its own specific words, applicable only in a certain plot - terms.

Each course topic has its own PSS(causal relationships) - the causes and consequences of the event you are studying. It's like in life, the fact that you are reading this document has a reason - you decided to take the exam in history. And the consequence of this will be that you start correctly preparing for the exam. It's simple.

Therefore, when you continue to work with the course, look for reasons at each main date. why there was (for example) the Russo-Japanese war and the aftermath this war. Again, many exam items test this skill.

Historical personalities and terms are also an important thing.... And they are also needed to pass the exam and understand what you are teaching. What terms and what kind of individuals to study, see the historical and cultural standard.

Advice: always study personalities in the context of the term “contemporary of the ruler”. Having studied the basis, you will know dozens of rulers of our country. Study individuals as people who lived during (for example) Peter the Great.

So what tasks test plot knowledge?

USE assignments for knowledge of historical subjects

As you can see, everything is simple and has a certain structure.

When studying a topic, for successful preparation, the main thing is to keep one thing in mind - any topic in the synopsis should be laid out into separate parts and always correlated with the historical and cultural standard. Then everything becomes wildly simple.

Sources of

The last thing to work out. Moreover, to work it out separately.

We will devote separate instructions to the sources.

For now, I'll just say that their knowledge will provide you with the solution to the rest of the exam tasks. Every single one. Well, I want to please you - all the sources used in the exam are also known to us for a long time.

1. Cards... The exam makers do not draw new maps every year. They use a ready-made pack of cards, and the same, every year... It is in the hands of me and our team. So you can also get it in a week marathon and learn to work with them there.
   
   
2. The culture... The main thing in the study of culture not go into reading books and manuals. This is generally a separate topic, which we will talk about in the following instructions. It is important to understand that the culture in the exam they ask the same thing: in the tasks they use previously known illustrations, cultural monuments(from painting to architecture)
   
   

Thus, the path to the result is outlined. Point "A" is, and your first assignment will be to study the basis of the course from the rulers of Russia.

History in 2020 is an elective exam. Preparing for the exam in history, like preparing for other exams, first of all requires responsibility, organization, and a competent allocation of time and effort.

Start preparing for the exam as early as grade 10. To have a good knowledge base in two years for the exam.

Changes in the KIM USE 2020 by history:

• There are no changes in the structure and content of the CMM.
• In task 25, the conditions for scoring according to the K6 and K7 criteria have been changed: points for these criteria are set only if the criteria K1 – K4 have been set in the amount of at least 5 points.
• According to the K6 criterion, the maximum score can be set - 3, and not 2, as it was before.

Where to start preparing for history?

1. Theory. To study the theory, use additional literature in print and electronic form, documentary cinema, materials on web resources. On our web resource in the "Assignments" section, we have collected over 10 typical assignments developed by teachers, based on demos from FIPI(official draft) of past years.

For each task, it is written what you need to know to complete it. will guide you on what topics you need to study for each assignment.

How do you remember all this?

The abundance of dates, titles, names, events is a feature of history. But how to remember everything and not "lose" before the end of the exam?

Exists a number of effective ways lay out all the necessary information "on the shelves":

• Draw an analogy, visualize, draw diagrams.
• Work through topics only in chronological order.
• Make an outline of the answer to each of them.
• Study online - on our website you will find the necessary tasks.

2. Solution of training tasks of different types gives great experience and self-confidence. Solve online tests with answers according to the theory you have read, this will help you to assimilate and consolidate the topic.

3. Practice writing your essay... Hone your writing and writing skills. There are three periods from the history of Russia to choose from.

Requirements for a mini-essay:

• Indicate at least two processes that relate to the selected date;
• Mention should be made of people who have influenced or participated in events, processes or phenomena;
• Causal relationships should be mentioned;
• Use historical terminology in the essay;
• It is forbidden to make mistakes in facts.

A historical essay must be connected with correct logical conclusions.

4. Time the exam correctly.
The examination work on history is assigned 3 hours 55 minutes(235 minutes).

The examination paper consists of two parts:

• 1 part- 19 tasks with a short answer (word, phrase, date, name and surname of the historical figure);
• Part 2- 6 tasks with a detailed answer (analyzing a problem, a fragment of a historical document, assessing an event, expressing a point of view).

The approximate time for completing individual tasks is:

• for each task of part 1 - 3–7 minutes;
• for each task of part 2 (except task 25) - 5–20 minutes;
• for the task 25 - 40–80 minutes.

Points for each story quest

The minimum passing grade is 32.
The maximum you can get on the exam in history is 55.

• 1 point - for tasks 1, 4, 10, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19.
• 2 points - 2, 3, 5-9, 12, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22.
• 3 points - 11, 23.
• 4 points - 24.
• 11 points - 25.

The system for assessing the performance of individual tasks and work as a whole

A task with a short answer is considered completed correctly if the sequence of numbers, the required word (phrase) are indicated correctly.

Complete correct answer to tasks 1, 4, 10, 13-15, 18,19 is estimated 1 point; incomplete, incorrect answer or lack of it - 0 points.

Complete correct answer to tasks 2, 3, 5–9, 12, 16, 17 is graded 2 points; if one mistake is made (including one of the digits is missing or there is one extra digit) - 1 point; if two or more mistakes are made (including two or more digits are missing or there are two or more extra digits) or there is no answer - 0 points.

Complete correct answer to task 11 is estimated with 3 points; if one mistake is made - 2 points; if two or three mistakes are made - 1 point; if four or more mistakes are made or there is no answer - 0 points.

The tasks of part 2 are evaluated depending on the completeness and correctness of the answer. For completing tasks 20, 21, 22 is awarded from 0 to 2 points; for task 23 - from 0 to 3 points; for task 24 - from 0 to 4 points; for task 25 - from 0 to 11 points... Task 25 is graded on.

Remember the time, the plan, and then you will certainly be able to pass the exam in history.

Happy preparation!

The USE in history is one of the popular elective exams. It is passed by those who go to humanitarian faculties: journalism, jurisprudence, political science. Many people think that history is an easy subject and that you can prepare for the USE in history from scratch and in a year. Is it so?

The average history score is low compared to other elective subjects. Many people try to pass the USE in history, but they usually pass it badly, especially if they are preparing for the USE in history from scratch. A “two” is unlikely to be given, but it will not be enough for admission!

What graduates from the USE program in history do not know? They do not know cultural studies, cartography, they cannot compare (synchronize) the events of foreign and domestic history. Historical figures and terminology are confused. A very large number of incorrect answers in the second part, where it is necessary to give arguments in support of the position or in refutation.

The last question in the version of the USE in history is an essay. For it, 11 primary points are given, but few of the students gain them.

How to prepare for the exam in history from scratch? If we now begin to teach history, and at the same time did not learn history either in the seventh and eighth grade, or later, then where do we start? The first thing we pay attention to is the chronology. Yes, this is knowledge of events in chronological order. Which event follows which. And this is the most difficult thing for students! How do you learn all the dates if there are so many of them? It is good that there are not many questions in the exam, where the knowledge of dates is checked up to the day! Nevertheless, there are so many events and dates that a high school student may become desperate.

How to learn events and dates in preparation for the exam in history from scratch? As an expert I recommend this memorization technique.

Let's say you are studying the X century. There are many events: the war with Byzantium in 907-911, the uprising of the Drevlyans, the pagan reform of Vladimir, the baptism of Rus, and that's not all! How can you remember all this? First let us remember that this is our tenth century, then we will "arrange" the personalities who ruled at that time, in chronological order. Prince Oleg, to the next place - Prince Igor, Princess Olga, Svyatoslav and Vladimir. And then to each of the princes we will "tie" the event that took place during his reign. Thus, we get a chronological sequence.

With its help, you can easily answer the question of what event happened before - the uprising of the Drevlyans or the baptism of Rus. You will immediately remember that first there was Oleg, and then Vladimir. So the Drevlyan uprising was earlier, and the baptism of Rus - later.

Here is such a great trick for memorizing chronology - take it and use it. By the way, each ruler must also “tie” his contemporaries! For example, Yaroslav's contemporary was Metropolitan Hilarion, Ivan the Terrible's contemporary was Metropolitan Macarius. And if you come across a question, which of the metropolitans lived earlier and who later, you can easily answer it, knowing that first Prince Yaroslav ruled, and only then Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

The second thing that is important when preparing for the exam in history from scratch: while studying topics, it is necessary to simultaneously learn cartography. For example, we are studying a historical person - Prince Oleg. We look at the map: with whom he fought, how he expanded the territory of Kievan Rus. What historical monuments were built. We build associative connections. Example: Prince Vladimir - Church of the Tithes. It happens that the textbook does not contain her current appearance. Then Google will help us! We are looking for and find an illustration - the reconstruction of the Church of the Tithes. And of course, you need to know the architects who built the temple.

And this means that when preparing for the exam in history from scratch, you must:
knowledge of dates
knowledge of historical figures
cartography
cultural studies
terminology.

Preparing for the exam in history from scratch, make a plate: century, ruler, his domestic policy, foreign policy (reforms, wars). In the next column - write down the terms, the next column - contemporaries.

And then - the second part of the exam in history. To prepare for the exam in history from scratch, you need to read a lot - “read” the material. Use different sources. This will help make sense of the text that you will see in the assignment in the second part. You will need to determine the time, the ruler, the main events described in this text. And then - the following questions, where it is necessary to write arguments to confirm or refute the position. This is one of the most difficult questions.

For example, the baptism of Rus: its positive and negative meanings, that is, two arguments must be given with a plus sign and two - with a minus sign. This means that it is necessary to consider debatable issues, of which there are a lot in history.

In the classroom, we devote a lot of time to such discussion questions and develop a base that will help to correctly perform such tasks.

Now about writing an essay. An essay is one of the most difficult topics on the exam in history. It is necessary to determine exactly what events took place. Events relate to one of three periods: this is the period of the Rurikovich rule, the Romanov period and the Soviet period. My recommendation is to carefully work out exactly the second period. Further, it is necessary to write why the event occurred, the content of the event and its consequence, describe the persons who are associated with this event, what role they played.
And plus the historical assessment of this period - with a plus sign and with a minus sign.

In our courses, we give an essay writing algorithm. We memorize the chronology and analyze the events from the positive and from the negative side. This is how the whole picture is formed. And more additional material that is not in the textbook. Featured films and historical literature.

When you are preparing for the USE in history from scratch, by the month of March you should have a complete historical picture, and then - working out the tasks and difficult questions of the USE in history. History should not only be taught - history should be lived - in order to pass the exam well.

The history tutor guides, focuses on the difficult questions of the exam, teaches how to write an essay, argumentation of a position, identifying chronological sequence, introduces cartography and cultural studies.
