Structure of KIM Unified State Exam 2017 in history

Each version of the examination paper consists of two parts and includes 25 tasks that differ in form and level of difficulty.

Part 1 contains 19 short answer questions. IN exam paper The following types of short-answer tasks are proposed:
– tasks for choosing and recording the correct answers from the proposed list of answers;

– tasks to determine the sequence of arrangement of these elements;

– tasks to establish the correspondence of elements given in several information series;

– tasks to determine according to the specified characteristics and write in the form of a word (phrase) a term, name, name, century, year, etc.

The answer to the tasks of Part 1 is given by the corresponding entry in the form of a sequence of numbers written without spaces or other separators; words; phrases (also written without spaces or other separators).

Part 2 contains 6 tasks with detailed answers that identify and evaluate graduates’ mastery of various complex skills.
Tasks 20–22 are a set of tasks related to the analysis of a historical source (attribution of the source; extraction
information; attraction of historical knowledge to analyze the problems of the source, the position of the author).

Tasks 23–25 are related to the use of techniques of cause-and-effect, structural-functional, temporal and spatial analysis to study historical processes and phenomena. Task 23 is related to the analysis of any historical problem or situation. Task 24 – analysis of historical versions and assessments, argumentation of various points of view using course knowledge. Task 25 involves writing a historical essay. Task 25 alternative: the graduate has the opportunity to choose one of three periods history of Russia and demonstrate his knowledge and skills using the most familiar historical material. Task 25 is assessed according to a system of criteria.

On the Unified State Exam in history, there are usually a little more than 5 percent of students who score high. There are approximately twice as many poor students.

It is noted that not everyone knows how to work with maps and factual material. Schoolchildren often make mistakes when answering questions about the Great Patriotic War. Pupils do not always understand the difference between it and the Second World War.

Before exams, it is recommended to repeat the dates, refresh your memory of the names of commanders, heroes, statesmen. Thus, at the 2016 Unified State Examination, about 20 percent of graduates wrote that the hero Soviet Union is a fighter-saboteur, executed by the Nazis in 1941, Lidia Ruslanova, and not Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. There were also those who sent Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky to battle in Chesme Bay in 1770, while during the Great Patriotic War he Patriotic War was the chief of the General Staff, commanded the 3rd Belorussian Front, and led the assault on Königsberg.

Examination version, about which we're talking about in this publication, was offered to graduates on early stage of the Unified State Exam in history March 20, 2017

The following can be said about the contents of the KIM:

In tasks 1-2 the content is normal, without surprises, except for the mention of Ipatiev Chronicle. As a rule, such specification does not happen.

In task 3, in my opinion, terms associated with the 18th century began to appear very often. Maybe this is a subjective view, but somehow it seems that other periods are undervalued in this regard.

The term in the fourth, on the contrary, is rather non-trivial. It is worth remembering the numerous purchases, rank and file and other tiuns with lights. But not for long, otherwise you’ll dream about it at night with some governor charging you a vira :)

5-7 tasks are quite normal, nothing special.

In the 8th question about the intelligence officer, perhaps, I was surprised. An unusual character for assignments, although it seems that R. Sorge has already come across it somewhere.

In the 9th there is nothing complicated, but in the 10th I would carefully read the text. It’s not a difficult question, but it seems that the compiler tried very hard to disguise the name of the Soviet government when formulating the question. The ears, however, still stick out :)

The 11th task has no surprises, but the 12th makes you think for the second time about what a specialist in the history of Russia before the 19th century might have written.

Tasks 13-16 on the Great Patriotic War - alas, this is one of worst options with a map, may all fans of this period forgive me. The only things that could be worse are the events of the Civil/Cold War or the economy.

The 17th is normal in culture, especially if you have watched, are watching or will watch collections of illustrations of the cat Stepan :)

You can download the collection of illustrations at

The 18th will not be difficult, like any image of a similar now popular format (stamps, coins), if you carefully consider and read the proposed options. The 19th task is also not difficult, all the personalities are more than well-known.

As for the tasks of the second part, 20-21 will not cause difficulties, but 22 is worth studying carefully and not rushing to the answer, which, at the same time, is literally on the surface.

Task 23 once again proves that the decisions of the main congresses of the Bolshevik Party need to be known (see)

The 24th argument task creates a persistent déjà vu, which Alexandra III There were simply indecently many tasks. So, for example, in the last Statgrad training session from April (2017) there was an assignment about his internal politics.

The choice of periods for writing was disappointing. The first and last, moreover, are cross-temporal, which in itself makes them complex. Part of the reign of Nicholas II in the second version also does not improve the picture.

In general, the good thing here is that no one will come across this option.

Solutions to long-answer tasks are not automatically checked.

Let's briefly look at the contents of the KIM:

On the one hand, there is nothing particularly noteworthy in tasks 1-2, unless you note a funny coincidence: in the 2nd task two monetary reforms appeared next to each other - E.F. Kankrin and G.Ya. Sokolnikova.

On the other hand, I was surprised by the unconventional spelling of the word “baptism” in the phrase “baptism of Rus'” with a lowercase letter. Often even in textbooks they still write with capital letters - “ TO decision,” thereby emphasizing the fate of what happened. This is especially striking in comparison with " N national projects" from the 3rd task. When did they become so important event that their appearance must be emphasized in capital letters remains a mystery from the drafters of the variant.

By the way, in general, the choice of period for the terms in the same 3rd task - “perestroika” - is quite unusual and good. To be honest, I’m already a little tired of the monotonous terms from many versions.XVIIcentury with an endless list of names of representatives of different classes. In one "Novoogaryov process" I must say a big thank you to the authors.

But I would like to scold you for the 4th task. In my opinion, there are two rather serious mistakes at once. The definition is given: “ IN Russian state in the XVI - early XVIII V. service people who made up permanent army; infantry armed with firearms" Apparently, the answer should be - “ Sagittarius" But two objections arise.

Firstly, as far as I know, Streltsy army was destroyed by PeterIeven after the last Streltsy revolt of 1698, so how it could exist at the beginning of the next century is absolutely incomprehensible. Especially considering that already in 1699 the first recruitment took place in new army king This may be a typo, but " at the beginning XVII V." would be even more stupid.

Secondly, it is quite difficult to consider the Streltsy a permanent army, given that for them military affairs was not the only and main occupation, since they received the lion's share of their income from trade, crafts, and crafts. One identical shape, uniform firearms and uniting into regiments is somehow not enough to equate the archers with regular army. It would sound more correct, from my point of view: “ In the Russian state in the XVI - late XVII centuries servicemen who made up the infantry (infantry units), armed with firearms».

1 task - two events (Battle of Chesme and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand);

Task 4 - the term “streltsy” (military personnel);

Task 5 - exclusively military events (processes, phenomena) and facts;

In the 6th everything is “quiet and peaceful”: government bodies- State Duma with the State Council;

In the 7th it is also calm as in Baghdad, here the economy is like the 1st halfXIXV. Or else it will be in tasks 13-16 with a map on economic developmentXVII centuries :)

8 - traditionally “military”;

In the 9th two events are military conflicts;

10 - text about armed conflict(I won’t say which one, so that it’s interesting to decide);

11 - quite neutral and unpretentious;

12 - again about the events that took place during the war (this time the First World War).

Tasks 13-16 with the map have already been mentioned. One of the most unpleasant options that could come across. I sympathize with those who solved it.

In 17th it was quite monotonous, just architectural monuments. Still, it’s more interesting when there are examples from different spheres of culture, more knowledge is tested.

In the 18th, it is noteworthy to use not a stamp/coin/medal, but an entire postal envelope! This is the scale. Respect and respect. True, this complicates the task, because it is more difficult to see, especially what is written in small letters and numbers at the bottom. This is important if, as in this case, you need to know the release time. The monuments in the 19th task are quite recognizable and uncomplicated, no unusual angles.

And continuing the theme - Nos. 20-22 with text also about hostilities(I still won’t spoil it), but it’s an interesting text, since it uses a non-standard source - a message from the monarch.

No. 23 - again about the war, this time the Civil War. Moreover, it’s an interesting innovation - for the first time I see the wording of explanations being somehow limited: “ Errors white movement no need to indicate" It sounds like: “Well, they couldn’t win anyway, so it’s not interesting to read about their mistakes. Let’s better remember once again why the Bolsheviks won.” Somehow, it’s still not good to decide for people what explanations to give them and what not.

No. 24 - arguments about the Decembrist uprising. One of my favorite topics, so I liked it :) I don’t know about others, but it could have been much worse, that’s for sure.

From No. 25 (essay) it also smacks of “militarism.” The third period is the initial stage of the Great Patriotic War (from June 1941 until the beginning of a radical turning point in the war in November 1942).

Result: 11 (!) tasks out of 25, i.e. almost half are somehow related to military history. A little too much for my taste.

The federal examination in history belongs to the category of selective Unified State Exams. It must be taken if the student plans to continue studying in a university that requires this certificate. History will be useful if, as professional activity you chose law, sociology, art history, cultural studies, design, architecture. This subject is traditionally considered difficult by graduates.

Passing history requires not just cramming dates or names, but also the ability to operate with facts, draw informed conclusions and reasonedly express one’s attitude to processes and phenomena. For successful completion history exam, it is worth learning about possible changes in CIMs, having an idea of what is included in Unified State Exam sample 2017, and know how to prepare for writing a historical essay. Let's talk about this in more detail!

Demo version of the Unified State Exam-2017

Unified State Exam dates in history

Specialists from Rosobrnadzor have allocated the following dates for the Unified State Examination in History:

Early period. Early the exam will pass March 16, 2017, as reserve day allocated April 3, 2017. To take the exam ahead of the main deadline, you will be required to write an application (before March 1, 2017), and also be included in one of the categories of participants in the early Unified State Examination (the list of such persons is given below);
Main stage. The main exam is scheduled for June 2, 2017.
Reserve date. Reserve day – June 19, 2017 (in case of force majeure, there is another reserve day for all items – June 30, 2017).

No matter how much one would like to pass the test in the form of the Unified State Exam early, not everyone can pass history ahead of schedule. Among those who have the right to early passing the Unified State Exam, include:

graduates of previous years and those who graduated from evening school;
participants of all-Russian or international sports competitions, competitions, creative shows or olympiads that will be held during the Unified State Examination;
eleventh graders who decided to go to university before going to university;
schoolchildren whose health requires treatment or prevention;
graduates leaving the territory of Russia due to a change of residence or to study at a foreign university.

Statistical information

Statistics from past years confirm that history is one of the most popular elective subjects - in 2016, more than 159 thousand students applied for this Unified State Exam (in 2015 there were 20 thousand fewer). However, this test is not at all easy for eleventh graders. A check of this exam found that as many as 15.9% of graduates were unable to overcome the minimum limit.

Soon, the history exam may become one of the three mandatory exams

However, this indicator has improved slightly compared to the previous period, when about 16.5% were recorded as failing students (with a smaller number of examinees). Guys with highest score It turned out to be quite a few - only 96 people were able to demonstrate perfect knowledge and write the exam without a single mistake. On average, students pass history with 46.7 points, which can be interpreted as a “satisfactory” grade.

All this indicates that you will have to devote a lot of time and effort to preparing for the story in order to show a decent result. In addition, in lately Rumors are increasingly being circulated that a third compulsory subject will be introduced into the exams. History has a very high chance of being included in the top three Unified State Exams, which are compulsory.

Changes in KIMs in history

According to the information provided, no changes are expected in the structural and content of tickets for this discipline. Among the changes it is worth noting:

score increase for correct execution tasks No. 3 and No. 8, which are now worth 2 points instead of 1;
clarifications in the wording of task No. 25.

Structure and content of the Unified State Examination in History

History KIM consists of 25 tasks, which are divided into two parts:

Part 1 includes 19 tasks requiring a short answer in the form of a number, a sequence of numbers, a word or a phrase;
Part 2 consists of 6 tasks in which you need to give a detailed answer. In this part of the exam you will also have to write a short historical essay on the periods offered to choose from.
