HISTORY-GEO TEST. The first tests of the 2022 baccalaureate, those of specialty, are approaching. Some candidates are preparing to take the history-geography exam between May 11 and May 13. Discover the tracks on the potential subjects and the course of the test.
Home stretch for timeline and map revisions! The 2022 baccalaureate history-geography test is announced for May 11 or 12 during the short session of specialty tests. The flagship education is since the implementation of the reform of the baccalaureate one of the twelve specialty subjects that the first and final high school students choose to follow or not. To appeal to high school students, the field of fields studied has been broadened, adding to history and geography themes centered on geopolitics and political science. If scientific subjects are more popular, history-geography appears in the top 5 of the specialties most followed by students. The written specialty test is being organized for the first time since the entry into force of the bac reform, so it is difficult for candidates to know what to expect. From dates, to probable subjects, including the course and arrangements of the test, here is everything you need to know about the history-geography specialty exam.
When is the history-geography test scheduled?
The history-geography test was normally to take place like all the other specialty education exams in March, but the Ministry of National Education has decided to postpone the series of tests to May to prevent certain candidates from be penalized by the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic on the school system. It is therefore between May 11 and May 13 that the tests are held, and that of history-geo should more precisely be organized on Wednesday May 11 or Thursday May 12 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. according to the first details of theStudent.
What are the possible subjects for the history-geography specialty test?
Of the six themes that make up the history-geography program only four are likely to fall on the day of the exam. The Ministry of National Education has classified the subjects of each subject into three categories: the subjects likely to be assessed during the even years, those during the odd years and finally the most important subjects which may fall in each session of the baccalaureate. Automatically, two subjects can be slightly excluded from the candidates’ revisions, but they should not be completely ignored because the subjects can be cross-cutting, certain knowledge could help the candidates in front of their copy. Discover the four themes that can be the subject of the history-geo test:
- “New areas of conquest”
- “Making war, making peace: forms of conflict and modes of resolution”
- “History and Memories
- “The environment, between exploitation and protection: a global issue”
The history-geography specialty test is divided into two parts. The first is a dissertation and the second a document study, it can be a photo, a text or a map. The two exercises are compulsory for all candidates, but the ministry has provided for an adjustment: a doubling of the subject of the dissertation. For the first part of the test, the candidate will therefore have the choice between two different dissertation subjects, each relating to a theme of the program. The document study will cover another theme studied during the year so that three themes out of the four probable ones are addressed, which means that no subject should be neglected during the revisions. If this seems like a greater dose of work, this instruction is above all intended to offer candidates the best chance of success.
When will the results of the history-geography test be published?
A priori, the results of the history-geography specialty test will be available on July 5, at the same time as the results of the other tests (French, philosophy and major oral). The fact that specialty courses are evaluated one month earlier does not affect the publication of the results.
