How we work
Pass the History of Philosophy university entrance exam with B+
Here’s how we approach the subject to cover all the core knowledge.
In the new university entrance exams
In B+
The exam is divided into two parts: text commentary and questions on philosophical theories and ideas.
We include questions to summarize and consolidate philosophical concepts and the specific views of authors or periods, as well as text-based questions.
It assesses text comprehension, critical argumentation, historical contextualization, and philosophical problem-solving.
Questions on the texts range from identifying the topic and its relationship to a historical period of thought to comparing ideas or authors with other philosophical references.
Answers are assessed through text commentaries, closed questions, classification exercises, and summaries.
We add exam-style questions and provide supplementary material, such as a table of authors and ideas, to reinforce learning.
Students are asked to connect philosophical ideas to problems and present-day contexts through texts by classical authors.
We select authors from the curriculum and the university entrance exams to guarantee thorough preparation.
It includes case studies for applied philosophical analysis and reasoning.
We include summaries and overarching questions that connect philosophical ideas to current issues, encouraging critical analysis and the application of knowledge.
Open-ended or semi-structured questions make up 70% of the exam.
Questions are broad and tasks are based on the historical blocks, which makes it easier to develop argumentation and analyze concepts through open-ended questions.
