Every year, demo versions of the OGE of the current year are published on the official website of FIPI. On August 21, 2017, demo versions, codifiers and specifications for control measuring materials of KIM OGE 2018 were published, including in social studies.

Maximum primary score – 39.

There are no changes in KIM 2018 in social studies compared to 2017.

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

Correctly performed work is estimated at 39 points. Each correctly completed task 1–21, 23–25 is worth 1 point.

Task 22 is evaluated according to the following principle: 2 points - no errors; 1 point - one mistake was made; 0 points - two or more errors were made.

Tasks of part 2 are evaluated depending on the completeness and correctness of the answer.

For the complete and correct completion of tasks 26–28, 30 and 31, 2 points are awarded. With an incomplete answer - 1 point.

For the complete and correct completion of task 29, 3 points are awarded. In case of incomplete fulfillment, depending on the representation of the required components of the answer - 2 or 1 point.

Thus, for completing the tasks of part 2 (correct and complete wording of answers to all six questions), the examinee can receive a maximum of 13 points.

However, this does not mean that two OGEs can be limited. Schoolchildren will also have to take elective subjects, so from the beginning of the school year they think about which 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 of the tasks will require knowledge of terminology, as well as an understanding of the legal and social features of the development of society. In addition, an important point is awareness of the structure of KIM and the OGE regulations in 2018.

OGE dates in social studies

It's no secret that making a schedule for preparing for the OGE is not so easy. Each subject needs to be taught according to a certain system, and throwing between several disciplines will not allow you to properly consolidate knowledge. When scheduling classes, remember that you will take social studies on such days:

• early delivery is scheduled for April 27, 2018 (Friday). Reserve day - May 7 (Monday);
• the main test is scheduled for June 7, 2018 (Thursday). In case of force majeure, the OGE may be rescheduled for June 22 (Friday);
• additional examination will take place on September 12, 2018 (Wednesday), and September 20 (Thursday) is named as a reserve.

Structure and content of KIM

The Thematic Commission analyzed the results of past years and came to the conclusion that this KIM does not need to be finalized, so there are no plans to change its structure. When passing the exam, you will need to demonstrate a wide range of intellectual abilities: KIM tasks assume that the student will recognize, reproduce and extract information, classify, systematize, compare, concretize, give explanations, evaluate and attract arguments in favor of his opinion.

The OGE in this subject will touch upon the theoretical foundations of the modern social structure, the sphere of social activity, the basic institutions of management, the individual and its social qualities, economic phenomena and processes, the political and legal structure of the state, and will also test the student's skills that should make him a full-fledged citizen.

A significant part of the tasks is based on sociological research, popular science and socio-philosophical publications, excerpts from regulatory documents, as well as media reports. When evaluating the answer sheet, the members of the examination committee will check:

• the ability to describe objects of a social nature (see emphasis on their main qualities and characteristics);
• understanding the essence and role of a person from the point of view of his social and active qualities;
• the ability to conduct a comparative assessment of objects of a social nature, understanding the relationships and ways in which interaction takes place between man and nature, the individual and society as a whole, an individual citizen and the state;
• knowledge of various objects of society, orientation in various types of human activity and relations implemented in the social sphere;
• the ability to explain human behavior in terms of moral and ethical standards, social and economic approaches;
• the ability to apply knowledge in practice by solving practice-oriented and cognitive tasks;
• skills in searching and organizing information.

If we talk about the main sections made in the KIM OGE, then the most attention should be paid to:

• society, its interaction with nature, the main relationships implemented in various spheres of social life, as well as the features of their manifestation;
• the qualities of a person and personality as a biological and social being, the concepts of work, play and learning, interpersonal relationships and conflicts;
• spiritual life and its characteristics, the role of scientific activity, education and religious norms in the structure and functioning of society, the concepts of freedom of conscience, moral standards and patriotism, humanistic views and the institution of citizenship;
• the role of the economy in public life, as well as the following terms: resources, needs, ownership, production, trading activities and the market;
• entrepreneurship, monetary relations, the tax system, the goals and functions of the state in the conduct of economic policy;
• the social structure of modern society, family relations, values, relations and conflicts of a social and interethnic kind;
• politics and its role in public life, functions and parties, as well as forms of state regimes;
• the role of law, the concept of a legal violation, types of liability;
• The Constitution of the Russian Federation, its content, the state structure of the country, the branches and systems of power, the duties and freedoms of citizens, as well as the mechanisms by which human rights are realized.

OGE in social studies is 31 tasks. In the ticket, they are all divided into two parts:

• the first part - 25 tasks. Numbers from 1 to 20 are tests in which it is enough for the student to make a choice from the proposed answers. Answers to tasks numbered 21-25 - a series of consecutively indicated numbers. Basically, the first part checks knowledge in sections devoted to man and society, the concept of spiritual culture, economic activity, social sphere, politics, social management and legal activity. The correct solution of all tasks will bring the ninth grader 26 points (or 66.7% of all points for the exam).
• the second part - 6 tasks. In this part, students will have to formulate and write answers on their own, analyzing the text. For the correct solution of tasks from the second part, you can get another 13 points (or 33.3% of all KIM points).

A total of 39 points can be scored for social studies. KIM can be solved within 180 minutes. The regulations of this OGE do not provide for any additional subjects or reference materials and manuals.

On what scale will points be recalculated?

The points scored for solving a social studies ticket are converted into an assessment according to the following scheme:

• "unsatisfactory" is given to students who scored from 0 to 14 points;
• "satisfactory" - a mark for knowledge that allowed to get from 15 to 24 points;
• "good" - an estimate for 25-33 points;
• "excellent" is given for works in which the student was able to score from 34 to 39 points.

The selection of students for training in specialized classes is made among children who have earned 30 points or more in social studies.

How to prepare for the OGE in social studies?

Preparation for this exam should be comprehensive, which means that you will have to work out not only test tasks, but also learn how to extract information from various sources, interpret it and use it as arguments to clarify your position. Graduates of past years, who passed the test in the form of the OGE in social studies, advise ninth-graders to adhere to this approach:

• download and work through demo versions of KIMs for 2018. Firstly, this way you will immediately understand what kind of assessment you can count on right now; secondly, compare it with the desired result; and thirdly, you will be able to understand what topics you missed when studying at school;
• make a preparation schedule and start teaching social studies from the beginning of the school year. This OGE is characterized by a complex and diverse conceptual apparatus, so do not hope that you can prepare for it in a couple of weeks;
• find a good site with online tests and assignments. Practice there for literally 30-40 minutes a couple of times a week to “get your hands on it” with a quick and correct record of answers;
• work out the requirements codifier - this document describes approaches to completing tasks and the principle by which they are evaluated;
• buy encyclopedias and reference books in which the conceptual apparatus of the subject is well disclosed. Competent terminology is the key to your success in social studies!

Social science is a discipline that studies the features of the development of human society, the place of a person in the system of relations. The subject is at the intersection of several sciences - jurisprudence, sociology, political science, ethics, philosophy, history and economics. Social science is divided into sections: knowledge, spiritual life, law, social relationships, people in society and others. The OGE in social studies is not a mandatory subject for passing at the end of the 9th grade, but many choose it. The reason for the popularity of the subject is the relative ease of its maintenance. Also, this discipline is one of the profile ones, if the student enters grades 10-11 with a humanitarian bias.

Social science is the subject with which the least number of schoolchildren fail to cope with the exam, which confirms the ease and accessibility of tasks. But this discipline has a number of features: you need to know the theory well (laws, terms, patterns, concepts), apply knowledge in practice, be able to formulate your own opinion and support it with arguments.
Whether it will be difficult during the exam depends on the level of a particular student. The regularity of preparation and systematic, diligence in schooling will allow you to pass the exam without much difficulty.

During the preparation process, it is important:

• The accuracy of the wording;
• Knowledge of terminology and ability to operate with it;
• Ability to rationally allocate time to complete tasks;
• Free orientation in different sciences.
