The short answer
A Arts and Humanities student studies only two subjects in the total in the third Bachaloria year: advanced Geography and Statistics. Each is out of 100, making 200 of the 600 marks, and they are the whole of the third year's total.
What does "advanced" mean?
The ministry describes third-year study as more advanced and specialised, with deeper topics. It does not repeat the basics; it builds on them. That makes sense: these subjects prepare you for the faculties the track leads to: Mass Communication, Languages, Law, Social Work, Education and Tourism.
When?
- The first Bachaloria cohort reaches the third year in 2027/28.
- Exams: June (first sitting) and August (second), and the best counts.
- The detailed third-year curricula are announced by the ministry. We will write about them as soon as they are out.
How to prepare while you are in the second year
- Geography and Statistics are not in the second year on the Arts track (the second year has Psychology or a second language).
- Statistics is a numbers subject. If Maths is not your strength, start revising ratios, averages and charts now.
- Maps: get used to reading them. Second-year History is a good chance to practise.
- Writing: half the exam is essays, and Geography asks you to explain and give reasons a lot.
