GEO HISTORY BAC. The history-geography, geopolitics and political science test (HGGSP) opens its second session this Thursday at 2 p.m. for other candidates for the 2022 baccalaureate. What are the subjects already fallen and those expected?
[Mis à jour le 12 mai 2022 à 10h56] The history-geography, geopolitics and political science specialty (HGGSP) is one of the most popular among high school students, while some candidates took the 2022 baccalaureate specialty exam yesterday, others have an appointment with their copy today. . Expected in the examination room at 2 p.m. for the start of the test, the candidates will then have four hours to work on the subjects of the dissertation or the critical study of documents. Three subjects offered, all on different themes to allow candidates the choice of the theme on which they wish to be assessed, a choice which is very important because the history-geography specialty test counts as a coefficient of 16 in the final mark of the baccalaureate .
Like yesterday, the candidates are eager to discover the subjects that will be offered to them and of which they are still unaware. They can already get a rather precise idea of what the exam will look like thanks to the subject of the previous day’s test, available in full on Linternaute. They can also dwell on the corrections, also present in this article to get an idea of what is expected, in particular for the construction of the dissertation, the development of a detailed argument and the realization of a critical study. It goes without saying that the subjects of the day will be different from those of yesterday to avoid all cheating and ensure equality between all the candidates for the 2022 baccalaureate history-geo test.
What are the subjects of the 2022 history-geo specialty test?
What topics will the candidates be working on this Thursday? The subjects of the HGGSP test will not be known until an hour and a half after the start of the exam, around 3:30 p.m. Through a partnership with Studyramathe subjects will be published in their entirety on Linternaute as soon as they are published.
The very first subjects of HGGSP, those of Wednesday, May 11, are themselves known. Candidates for the 2022 baccalaureate had the choice between two dissertation subjects: “The conquest of space from 1957 to the present day: rivalries and cooperation” or “The United States and the environment at different scales”. A critical document study was also among the possible choices for the history-geography test, the candidates had to comment “the evolution of the forms of war” based on a print by Johann Lorenz Rugendas (1775-1826): “The great battle of Austerlitz, beginning of the 19th century” (document 1) and the extract from an interview with US Special Forces Commander Stanley McChrystal (2003-2008) in the journal Foreign Policy in 2011 (document 2).
What are the history-geo subjects of the 2022 baccalaureate that fell in French Polynesia?
In French Polynesia, the history-geography specialty test took place a week ahead of the metropolitan exam schedule. Two papers were distributed to applicants, a precaution often taken to avoid cheating, and each copy offered high school students two essays and a paper study, each on different topics from the history-geography curriculum. Of the three exercises, only one had to be carried out by the candidates.
Subject 1:
- Dissertation: States and control of the seas and oceans: challenges, competition and cooperation.
- Dissertation: Do US policies at different scales, since the 19th century, reflect major environmental issues?
- Study of documents: Does Clausewitzian thought allow us to understand the conflicts of the beginning of the 21st century? To answer the problem, the candidates had available the text War according to Clausewitzbased on the posthumous work of Carl von Clausewitz, Of the war from 1832 and the article by Bakary Sambe dated 2018, Changes in jihadism, Africa faced with asymmetric warfare and the imperative of prevention.
Subject 2:
- Dissertation: Judging genocides and mass crimes since 1945.
- Dissertation: The conquest of space, an ideological and power issue.
- Study of documents: Show the stages of the action of human beings on their environment since the Neolithic, by critically analyzing the documents, comparing them and relying on your knowledge. Candidates could rely on the article by François Gemenne and Marine Denis, The Anthropocene, a planetary disaster, appeared in the review Questions Internationales in 2017 and the analysis of Jean-Noel Biraben, The evolution of the number of menpublished in Populations and Societies in October 2003.
Our partner Studyrama offers, for almost every specialty exam in the baccalaureate, a suggested answer key that allows candidates to discover the answers or in any case the milestones that should be followed in their copy. Once the test of HGGSP finished, Linternaute will publish as soon as possible the corrections of the subject. Until then, find those of the subjects of the day before.
The history-geography specialty test takes place over 4 hours and 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 therefore has the choice this year between two different dissertation subjects, each relating to a theme of the program.
The document study, on the other hand, covers another theme studied during the year so that three themes out of the four probable ones are approached. While this may have appeared to be a greater dose of work during revisions, this instruction is above all intended to offer candidates the best chance of success.
What are the dates of the 2022 baccalaureate history-geo exam?
The history-geography test was normally to take place, like all 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 are 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 was scheduled for this Wednesday May 11 and Thursday May 12, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
When will the results of the history-geography test be published?
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 grand oral). The fact that specialty courses are evaluated one month earlier does not affect the publication of the results.
