FAQ — Economics & Social Sciences (SES) 12th Grade
What are the most important chapters in Terminale SES?
The chapters on sources of economic growth, international trade, and social structure are most frequently tested on the bac. Social justice and political engagement also appear often. It is essential to master economic mechanisms (Keynesian multiplier, Schumpeter's creative destruction) and sociological concepts (Bourdieu's cultural capital, Durkheim's solidarity) to achieve a good grade.
How to succeed in the SES bac essay?
The SES essay follows a rigorous method: start by analyzing the topic and defining key terms, then formulate a central question. Build a two or three-part plan with economic and sociological arguments supported by data (statistics, examples) and theoretical references. Each part should have clearly structured sub-parts. The conclusion must answer the central question and open the debate.
Is the structured SES exam easier than the essay?
The structured exam has three parts: a knowledge question (4 points), a statistical document analysis (6 points), and a reasoned argument based on a document set (10 points). It is often perceived as more accessible because it provides more guidance, but it requires good mastery of statistical data analysis and the ability to structure a reasoned argument.
