VPR is an abbreviation that is so alarming to today's schoolchildren. In the same timeIN Serossiyskaya P checking room RWork is an excellent opportunity to evaluate students' preparation. The project was launched relatively recently, for example, the VPR in geography is being carried out for the first time in 2017 and is of an experimental trial nature. Should you be afraid of such a test and how to successfully pass it?

There are not many materials and various demo versions of VPR for preparing students in grades 10 and 11, which raises many questions. How many tasks are there in each option? What sections of the geography course does the work cover? How to competently organize educational activities to get the best results?

The lack of necessary information and the novelty of this project do not allow us to feel confident in successfully passing the test. We offer you a solution that will help you not only get acquainted with the requirements within the framework of the VPR in geography, but also master the materials necessary to successfully complete the work.

About the simulator

The resource includes interactive tasks in test form for practicing exercises in all sections:

1. Sources of geographic information.
2. World population.
3. World economy.
4. Nature management and geoecology.
5. Regions and countries of the world.
6. Geography of Russia.

The check is carried out automatically. The student gets the opportunity to try his hand online, parents see the child’s level of preparation, and the teacher saves time on viewing work.

In addition, we offer materials that are fully consistent in structure, form and sequence of VPR tasks. For the student, this is an opportunity to objectively assess the level of his knowledge and psychologically prepare for the test. To better consolidate work skills, the materials are presented in three versions, the solution of which will give confidence and help show how ready the student is for the VPR and the Unified State Exam.

Trainer for the student

We have prepared 3 free online trainers for the student. The completion of test tasks is checked automatically. We invite you to try your hand!

In addition, additionally developed 3 test options that you can print and conduct a trial VPR in 10th or 11th grade: study the format, sequence, time allotted for their implementation; objectively assess your level of knowledge and feel confident during certification.

Methodological comments are equipped with all the necessary information for the successful completion of tasks - what you need to know and be able to do, what additional materials are allowed to be used.

Preparing for the GCSE in Geography: teacher’s experience

We analyze training tasks in preparation for the GCSE in geography.

Elena Davydova, geography teacher at Municipal Educational Institution “Secondary School No. 5 UIM” in Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk Region, Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation, full member of the Russian Geographical Society, delegate of two congresses of geography teachers, two-time winner of the competition for the best teachers of the Russian Federation (grant from the President of the Russian Federation in 2006 and 2012. ), finalist of the All-Russian competition “Teacher of the Year in Russia-2001”.

“In 2017, school graduates will have to write the All-Russian test in geography (VPR) for the first time. Some schools where geography is completed in 10th grade may delegate this work to 10th graders. Is VPR really that scary? Let's analyze the tasks and try to find the most optimal algorithms for solving some of them.

Don't be afraid of VPR. Almost all issues are related to life and, using your personal experience, you can solve many problems. In addition, students will have school atlases at their disposal, which will become excellent assistants (provided that graduates have not forgotten how to use them, and which maps to use to answer each task). Having analyzed several variants of VPR in simulators and methodological recommendations, we can draw some conclusions.”

Exercise 1
It is proposed to arrange cities in a certain sequence: in order of increasing (decreasing) length of daylight hours (night); increasing (decreasing) the angle of incidence of the sun's rays (the height of the sun above the horizon). To complete these tasks, it is necessary to remember that the duration of daylight and the angle of incidence of the sun's rays depend on the time of year (month), and the degree measure of the geographic latitude of the cities. To complete this task, you need to remember 4 special days a year - March 21 and September 23 (equinox days); June 22 and December 22 (solstice days). On the days of the equinox, the sun is at its zenith above the equator. The length of day and night throughout the Earth is the same and is equal to 12 hours. The angle of incidence of the rays is greater in those cities that are located closer to the equator, and less - further from the equator. If these are the days of the solstice, then it is important to understand what day it is: if June 22, then the sun at its zenith above the northern tropic is 23.5 0 N, and in the Arctic Circle - 66.5 0 N. and north of it to the pole - polar day; on the southern polar circle - 66.5 0 S. and south of it to the south pole - polar night. What does this affect? The angle of incidence of the sun's rays is greatest in those cities that are closer to the northern tropic (where the sun is at its zenith), and less - further from it. Daylight hours are longer (and nights are shorter) in cities located closer to the Arctic Circle, i.e. in more northern cities. On December 22, north and south change places (the sun is at its zenith over the southern tropics), so the length of daylight is longer (and nights are shorter) in cities located further south. The same principle works for other days of the year. It is only important to understand in which hemisphere the zenithal position of the sun is located. From March 22 to September 22, the sun is at its zenith in the northern hemisphere, which means that (on the days proposed in this time period) in more northern cities the length of the day is longer (and the nights, accordingly, shorter) than in cities with a more southern geographical latitude. And from September 24 to March 20, the sun is at its zenith in the southern hemisphere; This means that on these days the day length will be longer in more southern cities.

Tasks based on the time of the new day (or new year) are possible. Here we need to remember about the date line, which is located at the 180th meridian east. (the further east you go, the earlier the new day begins).

The tasks for the contour maps have been revised taking into account the updated content of the atlas. The systematic use of contour maps in class and when doing homework contributes to a more solid assimilation of educational material, forms both a holistic perception of a specific territory and the ability to highlight its specific features. The publication has been reviewed by the Russian Geographical Society Commission on Geographical and Environmental Education. The content of contour maps is developed in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. Outline maps are a universal product and can be used as part of any teaching and learning kit.

Task 2
Here we offer detailed text assignments that deal with any city in Russia. Students need to determine in which area this city is located. The first thing you need to pay attention to is what kind of area you need to define: a geographical area (natural region) or an economic area. So, for example, the region (natural or geographical region) is the European North, and the economic region is the Northern region; European South (North Caucasus) - North Caucasus economic region; Ural - Ural economic region, etc. After you have decided on the type of area, you need to find the city on the map, understand in which subject of the Russian Federation it is located (if this is not mentioned in the task), and then compare the political and administrative map of Russia and the map of areas that are in atlases (natural - in 8th grade, and economics - in 9th grade).

Task 3
It is proposed to select three subjects of the Russian Federation from the proposed ones, in which they operate: either metallurgical enterprises, or hydroelectric power plants, or nuclear power plants (or there may be any other industries). How to complete such tasks? To do this, you need to compare two maps: a map of the required industry (the one indicated in the task: if it is a hydroelectric power station or nuclear power plant, then you need a map of the electric power industry; if it is metallurgical enterprises, then you need a map of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, etc.) and a political-administrative one map of Russia (where the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are indicated).

Task 4
To solve this task you need to use a weather map. The question is complicated by the fact that the number of correct options is not known: there may be 2, 3, 4 or 5 options. To cope with these questions, it is necessary to remember the basic patterns on this topic. Types of precipitation, day and night temperatures, cloudiness are shown near cities. The high pressure area and the low pressure area are marked on the map with the letters B and H, respectively. It is necessary to remember that N is a cyclone, which is characterized by strong winds and precipitation, and B is an anticyclone with windless, clear and sunny weather (hot in summer and frosty winter). A warm front is characterized by: continuous long-term precipitation (drizzle, light snow), warming and lack of wind. For a cold front - cooling, wind, short-term and heavy precipitation (blizzard in winter, thunderstorms with hail and showers in summer). Russia is located in a temperate climate zone, which is characterized by westerly winds (the wind blows from west to east), which means that all fronts, cyclones, anticyclones, etc. will move in the same direction in the following days. It is important to find parallels that look like arcs on the map of Russia (they indicate the west-east direction, in contrast to straight meridian lines that converge at the pole point and indicate the north-south direction).

Task 5
In this task, it is proposed to place three cities in order of increasing (decreasing) air temperature in them, increasing (decreasing) the annual temperature amplitude; increase (decrease) in moisture or precipitation. A climate map will help you complete this task (where zones and regions are indicated; isotherms with average temperatures in January and July, annual precipitation). It must be remembered that the warmest winters are in the west, and the coldest in the east of the country (in the area of ​​sharply continental climate; the main thing is not to make a mistake with winter temperatures: -5 is higher than -10; and -40 is lower than -20); The warmest summer is in the south of the country, and the coldest in the north; with increasing continental climate (moving east), the annual temperature amplitude (the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures) increases; The moisture content of the territory is greater in the north than in the south, and the amount of precipitation in the west is greater than in the east. Answers should be given taking these features into account.

Task 6
Based on the proposed text, it is necessary to identify and name the subject of the Russian Federation. It is important to read carefully and find each indicated fact on the required atlas map (grade 8 or 9). Several cards may be required to complete. The task will become easier if you immediately find the type of subject (region, territory or republic) and other features that can be immediately checked on the maps.

Task 7
This task is related to time zones and is performed using this map and the political and administrative map of the Russian Federation, from which you can find the subjects of the Russian Federation indicated in the task, and then use the contours to find these subjects on the map of time zones. The questions may be very different, but the principle of implementation remains the same: the map of time zones shows numbers and signs, for example -1; +2; +4, etc. These numbers show how much the time in a given time zone differs from Moscow time (if in Moscow it is 10 o’clock in the morning, and in the Republic of Yakutia at that moment it is 16 o’clock, because in the time zone of Yakutia it is +6, i.e. the time of the republic is greater , than in Moscow by 6 hours, etc.). And then you need to check the time of all subjects specified in the task according to the condition that is proposed to be fulfilled. Another difficulty is that the number of correct options is not specified (there may be 1, 2, 3, 4 or more, so you need to determine the time in each of them and write it down).

Task 8
Here it is proposed to insert into the text terms that are appropriate in meaning. The difficulty is that the case endings do not match the text. To perform this task efficiently, you need to know the meanings of basic geographical terms and concepts (extensity, intensity, erosion, land reclamation, continentality, temperate (tropical, equatorial), migration, emigration, immigration, natural increase, migration increase, depopulation, birth rate, death rate, urbanization , agglomeration, resources, economic integration, etc.), know some numbers (population of the world, Russia, etc.). To complete this task well, carefully read the title of the text (it will help you choose the terms and features proposed below, since the title will make it clear which territory you will need to find on the map and remember some of its distinctive features and processes occurring here.

Task 9
Working with a table that provides conclusions based on its information. It is necessary to analyze these conclusions and either agree or not, but besides this, you need to give arguments for or against. All proposed tables are related to the dynamics of any indicators (their growth rates) for three different years, and each year is considered in comparison with the previous one. For example, the indicators for 2013, 2014 and 2015 are given. 2013 compared to 2012, 2014 - compared to 2013, etc. Each of them contains a number. It is important to understand that this figure is an indicator in relation to the previous year, and if it is equal to 100, it means that this indicator remained unchanged this year, i.e. it is the same as the year before. If the number is less than 100, then the indicator has decreased, and if it is more than 100, it has increased. Let's say in 2013 - 99.7; in 2014 - 101.3; and in 2015 - 101.5. The conclusion is written that from 2013 to 2015 there was an increase. The answer should indicate that the conclusion is not correct, because in 2013 there was a decline, and growth was observed only in 2014 and 2015. The table contains two rows and either different industries, or different countries, etc. are selected. It is important to carefully read the conditions of the task and check the required row of the table, and then justify your answer.

Contour maps are intended for students in grades 10-11 of general education institutions. The contour maps reflect the topics of the course "Geography. Economic and social geography of the world": political structure, population, nature and people, world economy, regions. The cards are equipped with tasks. Working with contour maps, students will learn to characterize large regions of the world, find examples of rational environmental management, predict changes in natural objects as a result of human economic activity, explain the economic features of regions of the world and their economic connections.

Task 10
A text fragment is given that describes some phenomenon - floods, earthquakes, sports or other events, etc. The names of some geographical objects (rivers, lakes, cities, islands, peninsulas, seas, etc.) are indicated that can be found in atlas maps to check your version). The task is to determine the name of the country in which this event (phenomenon) occurred.

Task 11
It is necessary to correlate the names of countries with the features proposed in the task. As a rule, countries are proposed with different levels of socio-economic development, with different birth rates, with different proportions of children (elderly), with different life expectancies, migration attractiveness (emigration-departure of citizens, immigration-entry), etc. To complete the task, you need knowledge about the types of countries in the world and their differences.

Task 12
Enter the names of any three countries according to the given condition. For example, leaders in reserves of coal, oil, gas, iron ore (or their production), car production, etc. This data is in the atlas maps for grade 10 (map of mineral resources, world trade, etc.). Another direction is to name any three countries located in any region or subregion of the world, for example, Northern Europe, South Asia, East Africa, etc. This task is performed with a political map of the world and will not cause difficulties for the vast majority of schoolchildren. Another option for tasks is to name any three countries from any international economic integration, for example, the CIS, OPEC, EU, BRICS, LAI, ASEAN, NAFTA, etc. To do this, you need to remember the main integration associations and remember three to five of any included in them countries But at the same time, do not indicate those of them that have recently left the membership or are planning to leave it (like Georgia and Ukraine from the CIS, Indonesia from OPEC, Great Britain from the EU, etc.).

Task 13
This assignment relates to the concept of resource availability, which was studied in 10th grade. Remember what this term means (it is the ratio of the amount of resources to the size of their use). And its main indicators (the number of years for which the resource will last and the amount of the resource per capita living in the country). How to calculate how many years a given resource will last? To do this, you need to divide resource reserves by production (usually per year), which gives the amount of resource availability of a country (or a separate territory). To determine the per capita indicator of resource availability, reserves are divided by the number of inhabitants (population) indicated in the table. It is very important to use the same units of measurement (for example, reserves are given in trillions or billions, and production in millions or thousands (the same for population) and before calculating, you need to bring them to the same value, remembering how they relate to each other friend. Read the task carefully to understand which quantity needs to be found. In the explanation, you need to indicate the data that you obtained during the calculations.

Tasks 14, 15 and 16 are performed using a fragment of the same text (read it carefully and look at the title, it may contain information and tips)

Task 14
Performed with an atlas map. It is important to understand what kind of map you need (the text itself or its title will help). For example, the text is about the opening of a tunnel in Switzerland, and the question is: name any country that borders Switzerland. The text is about the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, and the question is: name any subject of the Russian Federation that goes to Lake Baikal, etc.

Task 15 and task 16
In these tasks you are asked to give a detailed answer to the text (and if you study it carefully, the answers can be found in it). This is like identifying a problem in the proposed text on a Russian language exam (only the problems are geographical and related to the proposed material, you also need to find the area indicated in the text on the map and add some more thoughts). Thus, in task 15 of the text about a tunnel, they ask to find the economic advantages of building a railway tunnel (railway transport is cheaper, it’s faster to travel through mountains). In task 16 of the same text, you need to find environmental benefits (railroads are environmentally cleaner than cars).

Task 17
This is the final VPR task. Here again a text is offered, but it is larger in volume and contains a certain problematic situation or opinion to which there is no single answer (there are different positions). Students are asked to formulate and justify their point of view, write down their reasoning on this matter and provide evidence of their position (based on geographical and other knowledge acquired at school in various subjects). Argumentation and the absence of geographical and grammatical errors will be taken into account. Here it is important to express your opinion and support it with specific examples. It seems that our graduates are able to write essays and mini-essays on a given topic.

Good luck with your VLOOKUP and great results!

6. Geography of Russia

Rating system

The maximum possible score for the work is 22. Two lessons (90 minutes) are given to complete it.

12 tasks are at the basic level, and 5 are at the advanced level.

Examples of tasks with scoring and explanations

Exercise 1

The first VPR assignment in geography in 11th grade tests knowledge of the nature of our country. In it you need to place the three cities listed in the order determined by this criterion - for example:

• In order of increasing daylight hours on the first day of summer;
• In order of location upstream of the Don River.

If the cities are distributed correctly, 1 point is given, if not, 0.

Task 2

In the second task, you need to answer one question - about maps of which economic region of Russia should be used to find certain information. The situation is given - for example:

• Maps of which area will be needed to find the information needed to assess the economic and geographical conditions for the development of oil refining enterprises in Tatarstan?
• Which area maps will be needed to find the information needed to determine the geographical conditions of coal mining in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug?

The answer only needs to indicate the region - for example, the Volga region or the Far East. To successfully complete this task, you must have a good knowledge of the economic regions of the country and their constituent entities. For a correct answer, the student receives 1 point.

Task 3

In order to cope with the third task of the VPR in geography, you need to understand the Russian economy - know where the main seaports, metallurgical plants, large nuclear power plants and hydroelectric power stations are located.

The question is asked, for example, in which cities are the largest sugar factories located. A list of 6 subjects of Russia is given, from which you need to select 3 to answer.

The correct answer is worth 1 point.

Task 4

In the fourth issue you need to work with a weather map - for example, like this:

The following are five statements about the weather; you need to select only those that match the card and write them down as an answer. The number of correct answers is not indicated. The correct answer earns the eleventh grader 1 point.

Task 5

This task is also related to the topic “Nature of Russia”, but it is related to climatic indicators - temperature, humidity. In it, you also need to arrange three cities in a certain order according to the condition. Here's an example:

In order to calculate the heating system, in Russia the indicator “heating season” is used - that part of the year when the average air temperature per day does not exceed +8 degrees Celsius. Arrange the following cities in order of increasing average duration of the heating season (start with the city where its duration is minimal): Rostov-on-Don, Arkhangelsk, Smolensk.

1 point is given for a correct answer.

Task 6

The sixth issue of the work tests how well eleventh-graders know the regions of Russia - its subjects, their attractions, and geographical characteristics. The task gives a brief description of a subject - for example:

This area has great potential for the development of tourism, especially in such areas as industrial (excursions to enterprises) and scientific and educational. From the point of view of scientific and educational tourism, the cities of Kasli (the center of artistic cast iron casting) and Zlatoust (the historical center of weapons production) are especially interesting. One of the largest industrial complexes in the country, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, is suitable for the development of industrial tourism.

The answer must indicate the subject in question. If this is done correctly, the student receives one point.

Task 7

This task tests how well students are familiar with the Russian time zone system. A map of time zones is provided and the text of the condition is given - for example:

During elections of deputies of the State Duma, polling stations begin work at 8 o'clock and end at 20 o'clock local time. Using the map, determine in which of the specified regions voting has already begun at 5:30 a.m. Moscow time.

Task 8

In the eighth task of the VPR in geography, there is a text where some words are missing (usually 3 words are missing). Next is a list of 6 words, from which you need to select those that can be inserted in place of the gaps. Each word from this list can only be used once. Example:

As of January 1, 2017, there were 1,317,800 people living permanently in Estonia, which is 1,850 more people than in January 2016. The main increase in population was achieved due to the excess of the number of _____________(A) over the number of _____________(B ). At the same time, the value of the _____(B) population indicator still remains negative - the mortality rate (15,300 people) exceeds the birth rate (13,900 people). The trend of the aging population of Estonia has become even more noticeable.

List of words:

1. Urbanization
2. Migration increase
3. Natural increase
4. Emigrants
5. average life expectancy
6. Immigrants

If all three words are inserted correctly, the student receives 1 point, but if there is at least one error, 0 points.

Task 9

This task involves analyzing a small table - for example, this one:

The condition provides a conclusion drawn from the table - for this table it is as follows:

Unlike the United States, Brazil experienced an annual decline in GDP.

In your answer you must write whether the given statement is true and give reasons for your opinion. If the answer describes in detail and clearly why the conclusion is true or false, 1 point is given.

Task 10

In order to cope well with the tenth task of the assignment in geography and not lose points, you need to have a general understanding of the different countries of the world. The condition describes a situation where someone turned on a radio that was broadcasting a news report about a country, but because he did not listen first, he did not understand which country was being talked about. Example news report:

One of the consequences of the earthquake was the failure of a dam on the Clarence River. Authorities appealed to residents to move to higher ground. The Russian Embassy in Wellington reports that there are no citizens of our country among those injured in the earthquake.

If the country is identified correctly, the student receives 1 point.

Task 11

The eleventh task also tests general knowledge about the countries of the world and their geographical and economic characteristics. In it you need to make a correspondence between countries and their characteristics, entering the answers in a small table. Example:

Establish a correspondence between the country and the peculiarities of its economy.

As you can see, numbers can be used more than once. If the matches are made correctly, 1 point is given; if there is at least one error, no points are awarded for this task.

Task 12

The twelfth task is also related to knowledge of the world economy - mainly international organizations and industries of specialization in various countries. A description of any organization is given - for example, BRICS or the forum of gas exporting countries; The answer must indicate three countries (except Russia) that are members of the organization being described.

If three countries are indicated correctly, the answer is scored 2 points, if one of the indicated countries does not belong to the organization - 1 point, in other cases - 0 points.

Task 13

The topic of the thirteenth task is similar to the previous ones - world economy. It is necessary to analyze a table related to resource extraction in a country and answer a question related to the dynamics of some indicator - for example, for the table below the question is:

Over 11 years, Australia's resource supply with copper ores has increased from 25.8 to 91.7 years. Based on the data presented in the table, explain why this is happening.

In your answer, you need to conduct a brief analysis of the table - for example, in this case you can write that proven reserves increased by 3.6 times, but production increased by only 30 thousand tons per year. Over this period, the growth rate of proven reserves is higher than the growth rate of production.

The last sentence definitely needs to make a conclusion! If the answer talks about both a change in reserves and a change in production with the presence of a conclusion, 2 points are given, and if the student simply states changes in indicators and does not write a conclusion, 1 point is given. In other cases, no points are awarded for the assignment.

After this, the work provides a short text on the basis of which the next three tasks are compiled - for example, this one:

In 2016, one of the largest enterprises in the Cherepovets region, Avtospetsmash LLC, put into operation a new workshop. The available equipment made it possible to produce unique large-sized parts for equipment on individual orders, which are in demand among many enterprises (including local ones). The plant is known for the production of various types of products: rollers of continuous casting machines (CCMs), electric furnaces, etc. One of the advantages of the EGP of the region in which the city of Cherepovets is located is its location on the border of three geographical regions of Russia.

Task 14

In the fourteenth task of the VPR on geography, you need to determine the geographical location of what is mentioned in the text. In this case, the question will sound like this: “In which constituent entity of the Russian Federation is the city of Cherepovets located?”. However, the question is not always about the subjects - for example, if we are talking about islands, they may ask in which ocean they are located, and if about the Sea of ​​​​Okhotsk - which subjects of the Russian Federation have access to it. A correct answer is worth one point.

Task 15

This task also requires you to answer a question on the topic of the text. For the text above it reads like this: “On the border of which geographical regions of Russia is the region where the city of Cherepovets is located?”. Question 15 of the assignment can be anything - both about geographic location and about any processes or phenomena studied in a school geography course. For example, for another option it sounds like this: “Name the anthropogenic cause of low water on Lake Baikal”. A correct answer receives 1 point.

Task 16

The last text-related task asks a more complex question that requires a detailed answer of a couple of sentences. For our text it sounds like this: “Explain what feature of the industry of the city of Cherepovets contributed to the creation of new production in this city”. It is possible to give the correct answer to a question only if you have a certain amount of geographical knowledge; it brings the student 1 point.

Task 17

The final task of the VPR in geography is the most “high-value”: the maximum score for its completion is 4. The condition describes a certain situation related to the topic of environmental management. The main thing in the situation is the presence of several points of view on the problem; the student needs to formulate his own position (most often he needs to choose one of the proposed positions) and write it down, giving reasons. The answer should be logical and look like a short text. The main thing is to indicate your own position and support it with arguments based on knowledge of geography. Example task:

There are several points of view regarding the assessment of the environmental consequences of increased production and use of biofuels. According to one of them, increasing the scale of production and use of such fuel is fully consistent with the objectives of preserving the environment. According to another, increasing biofuel production does not meet these goals. Choose one of these points of view and give any two arguments supporting it.

The answer is assessed according to the following criteria:

K1– Having a formulated point of view. If the point of view is formulated - 1 point is given, if not - 0.

Points for this criterion are given only if 1 or 2 points are given for criterion K2!

K2– Disclosure of cause-and-effect relationships. 2 points for this criterion are given if the answer provides two competent arguments confirming the chosen position, and a logical chain is clearly visible that displays the cause-and-effect relationship - in our case, between the use of biofuels and the state of the environment. If the logical chain is not fully traced, that is, the cause-and-effect relationships are revealed for only one argument, 1 point is given. If the cause-and-effect relationships are not disclosed at all, the student receives 0 points for this criterion (and, accordingly, for the previous one too).

K3– Geographical literacy. 1 point is given if the work contains no errors in the use of geographical terms, in demonstrating knowledge of connections and patterns and factual errors, or 1 such error is made. In other cases, no points are assigned for this criterion.

It is possible to receive a positive score for this criterion only if you have 1 or 2 points for the K2 criterion!
