ORwe are never there. On Wednesday 22 at 8.30 the 7 traces of the first test of the 2022 maturity exam will be discovered, the written test of Italian, the same for all 540 thousand graduates. The Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi wanted to reassure the students: “The traces will be reasonable, that is, they will allow the children to reason“. The next day, on the 23rd, the second written test will take place, the one different for each course (this year there will be Latin for classical and stainless mathematics for scientific). To meet the children, in this first post-pandemic exam, the second test will not be national, as it was in the past, but each single institution will prepare it, in order to take into account what has actually been done during the school year . According to an investigation by students.it of the users of the Telegram Maturity 2022 group, 10 percent of the test takers already know its content.
Finally, next week, the oralwith the return of the “envelope” containing the materials useful for linking the topics.
Valentina Petri, author of Bring me the diary and Go to the place (both Rizzoli).
An almost normal exam, therefore, even if the graduates did not have a normal path at all, it causes a pandemic. In many classes, between absences for Covid and Dad, there was a long way behind. “But it has always been like this”, dilutes Valentina Petri, professor of Letters in a professional institute in Vercelli, author of Portami il diario (which is also a blog) And Go to the place (both Rizzoli). “The difference is in the technology: in the past we met at the home of the teacher for the last review; now call Zoom. I still remember the final lesson on the poet: they did not ask me at maturity but many years later, in the competition ».
Maturity 2022: “First advice: think and don’t do”
Some advice for the first test: «Everyone does the theme. I have never seen anyone, after six hours, deliver a blank sheet. Indeed, it is an opportunity to be seized; maybe this is the last time you guys will find yourself alone in front of a blank sheet of paper. First advice: think and don’t do, and this also applies to speaking. There is time and the tracks are very long, you have to gather ideas before writing. Spend the first hour – after the usual anger – understanding them. And if in the end they really disgust you, then take the worst and write a controversial text, always arguing and specifying “in my opinion”.
Second: you have to think that professors want to read things that are clear, simple, round. Not rap lyrics.
Third: don’t waste time trying to guess what will come out. You never guess. Anniversaries don’t come out, at least not directly. The war in Ukraine? I don’t think so, and then, who understands? ». But the kids like to question themselves about the tracks: according to a survey by students.it, 48 percent of the interviewees expect a trace about the war, while 14 percent expect something about Italian successes, from sport to Måneskin.
“Fourth: I recommend using everything you know, mix school notions with the things you like », adds Valentina Petri. «And remember that your teachers judge you. If a teacher waits for high school to be a bastard, he shouldn’t teach. That’s not the time for revenge, for “I’ll show you”. And then it must be said that we too are afraid, at least, I have it for sure: of not making those who deserve it shine, of not being able to help those in difficulty. The exam is a delicate moment for everyone ».
Maturity 2022, fifth tip: “You can’t connect everything to the oral”
A fifth piece of advice comes for the oral exam: «It is not essential to connect everything, and in the institutes of address the connection ends up being a pretext. Resistance cannot be combined with electrical resistance; and how can Pascoli be connected to the implant to the teeth? Better not to, on the internet there are hallucinating things. We are there teachers to ask the questions and direct the discussion ».
Finally, the sixth is not to exaggerate: “Don’t be like a student of mine who drank 6 frozen Red Bulls before the Italian test. We waited for him in front of the bathroom for hours“.
