How to effectively prepare for the OGE
There is less and less time left before passing the basic state exam (OGE). In 2025, ninth graders will take math, Russian, and two elective subjects. Izvestia tells you how to prepare for the OGE on your own in a short time and what resources to use.
Effective training methods
After passing the exams, students receive certificates of basic general education and can go to college or continue their studies in grades 10-11. The better the result, the more likely it is to enroll on a budget or pass a competition in a specialized class. For those who have decided to continue their studies at the OGE school, this is also an opportunity to test their abilities before the Unified State Exam (USE).
Schoolwork alone is often not enough to successfully complete a year. Hence, students and parents have a question about how to choose the appropriate training methods, whether it is worth hiring a tutor, whether to enroll their child in online courses or master the topics themselves.
All of these options are effective, but each has its own pros and cons. If it is easier for a child to learn knowledge in close contact with a teacher, then classes with a tutor are suitable for him. However, it is important to find a specialist who is not only well versed in the subject, but also has experience in preparing for the OGE.
You often have to rely on reviews and recommendations. You should also be prepared for the fact that tutoring services are not cheap, and if you need help in several subjects at once, then the amount will be substantial. You also need to add travel expenses to this.
Online learning allows you to upgrade your knowledge without leaving home. You can also sign up for group classes. The advantage of such courses is that the child will be able to see not only his own mistakes, but also those of others, as well as compare his level of training with that of other students. The cost of such classes is much lower. Meanwhile, the program is not designed for the individual characteristics and needs of the child, as in the case of a tutor.
Some people prefer to prepare on their own. This option is more suitable for those who have good knowledge of the subject and have high academic performance in school. Independent work requires high self-discipline, a clear lesson plan and parental supervision. Therefore, this option is not suitable for everyone, but you should not neglect it.
How to make a training plan
When there is little time left, it is necessary to make a plan for preparing for the OGE. But first you need to objectively evaluate the knowledge gained at school. The best way is to solve the exam demo. Detailed information that you will need to prepare for the exams can be found on the official FIPI website.
When it becomes clear which topics require detailed study, you can start the training plan. It looks a lot like a school schedule. It also indicates the subjects and the time allotted for preparation. It is necessary to set aside certain hours for classes, for example 2-3 hours after lunch, based on the number of subjects, the level of knowledge and the timing of the exam.
Exam preparation can be divided into two stages. The first step is to eliminate knowledge gaps. The second stage is to hone the skills of working with control materials. You should not neglect this stage, because it contains half of the success.
Preparation for specific subjects
The principle of preparation for all subjects is approximately the same. You should start with those topics that are the worst off, moving from simple to more complex ones. Theoretical material needs to be systematically repeated to consolidate what has been learned.
For example, when preparing for the OGE in mathematics, you should pay more attention to plotting functions, since it is on these tasks that punctures most often occur. You also need to know well such topics as "Algebraic expressions", "Numbers and calculations", "Equations and inequalities", "Coordinates on a straight line and plane".
When preparing for the OGE in Russian, the main efforts should be directed towards writing expositions and essays, as well as studying the test part, which consists of short-answer assignments and text analysis. Special attention should be paid to grammar and punctuation rules.
Students who take social studies or history should take into account that in addition to knowledge of theory, examiners evaluate the ability to reflect, analyze and express their opinions based on well-known facts. Therefore, the educational material should not just be learned, but try to build a logical chain, tracing the cause-and-effect relationships.
To successfully pass the OGE in geography, it is necessary to learn maps of Russia and the world, both physically and politically. In addition, you need to know the terminology well, be able to calculate the scale on the map, determine the location of the object by latitude, longitude and, of course, not to confuse the names of capitals and countries.
To get a high score in biology, it is necessary to competently apply scientific terms and theories, classification of plants and animals, human body systems, as well as ways of interaction of different species in nature.
The exam in any foreign language — English, German, French or Spanish — requires knowledge of the key rules of grammar: tenses, articles, prepositions, sentence constructions. In addition, there should be an extensive vocabulary and developed oral and written skills.
How to improve your score
To track the positive and negative dynamics in preparation for the OGE, it is recommended to make a separate schedule. The topics covered, the results obtained, and the time for completing tasks are entered in it. Unsatisfactory results can be highlighted with a colored marker and periodically retested until the indicators improve.
It is easier to repeat the material in a limited time according to the notes in the notebook, simple diagrams and tables that are in textbooks and special collections. If something doesn't work out, you can find an analysis of similar assignments on the Internet or ask for help from a teacher.
Psychological preparation for the OGE
Even with good knowledge and tutoring, students experience huge workloads and a lot of stress in their senior year. In such a situation, it is important to maintain composure and not try to compare yourself with someone else.
If you lack self-confidence, psychologists recommend that you focus on completing the tasks that the student knows best. It is also worth reminding yourself more often about the work done and the successes achieved. A positive experience is the best motivation to continue learning and analyze poorly learned topics.
At all times, you should try to adhere to the daily routine, find time to rest, take walks in the fresh air and get a good night's sleep. Parents should not put pressure on their children with their expectations and not overload them with additional tasks ahead of exams.
Common mistakes and expert recommendations
First of all, it is necessary to learn to read each question carefully in order to clearly understand what needs to be done. Mistakes on the OGE are often made precisely because of inattention.
It is better to solve the demo versions of exam tickets immediately on time. First, you should complete as many simple tasks as possible, and then proceed to those for which the highest number of points are awarded. At the same time, it is important not to be distracted by calls, computer games and other things and to prepare in conditions as close as possible to the exam.
In order not to lose points due to incorrect registration, you should also study the rules for working with the form. Otherwise, an extra comma, a missing cell, or an additional symbol will result in a loss of points.
Earlier, Izvestia wrote that In Russia, they plan to launch a pilot project allowing the OGE to be passed in five regions only in Russian and mathematics.
