The materials presented in this manual will help you pass a kind of accelerated course of preparation for writing your own statement at the external examination on Ukrainian language and literature.

https://besmart.study/ – Be Smart – a project from the educational platform EDUGET contains more than 2,000 video lessons and more than 11,000 texts.

https://courses.prometheus.org.ua/courses/course-v1:ZNO+UKR101+2017_T1/about - designed to help all willing entrants deepen and consolidate the acquired knowledge from the school course of Ukrainian language and literature.

arealme.com – Online vocabulary test. A fairly simple simulator that was recently very popular among Ukrainian Facebook users. It can hardly be regarded as a serious source of training, but it is always interesting to roughly estimate the richness of your vocabulary.

webpen.com.ua - Comprehensive simulator for the Ukrainian language. Combines a compact presentation of theoretical material with a large volume of practical tasks. You will be able to test your knowledge of phonetics, vocabulary, spelling and language culture. A wonderful additional means of testing and assimilating knowledge in preparation for the Ukrainian language external examination.

ukr-mova.in.ua  A convenient and beautiful resource with a large database of exercises, the main emphasis of which is to help deal with "difficult cases". You could often see the most common mistakes with explanations on social media pages. We also advise you to follow the blog updates on this site, where many spellings are explained in a compact illustrated format.

learningapps.org – An interactive application on Ukrainian literature that will help you better learn the correspondences between writers and their pseudonyms. We recommend that you pass it after creating a board and to consolidate your knowledge when you repeat the entire external examination program.

learningapps.org - Another application that you will need when preparing for the external examination on Ukrainian literature. Match the quote with the literary character - this is one of the most popular tests on the external examination. The only drawback of this simulator on Ukrainian literature is that not all works and characters relate to the current program. But never improve your knowledge of Ukrainian literature

learningapps.org, (http://learningapps.org/2197145) – Immediately two links to an additional method of preparing for the external examination in Ukrainian literature. You need to match the quote with the literary heroine or literary hero. The drawback is the same as in the previous link.

 learningapps.org/2274443 - A great app for expanding your knowledge of the genre-genre specificity of works of Ukrainian literature. Suitable not only for preparing for external independent assessment, but also for school learning.

When preparing for the test, you need to train all aspects of the language in order to pass it successfully:

Listening skills - you can practice your listening skills with the help of the resources listed in our previous article.
The more you listen, the better you understand, and this is a direct dependence that should not be proven. Important: perceive whole sentences and their context, not individual words that you are translating. Try several sites for training listening skills.

2) Vocabulary is the key to all tasks, so the more words you know, the greater the chances of choosing the right answer, understanding the read text and writing an essay. 
You will find the lexical minimum for the ZNO 2021 here. The lexical minimum was approved in 2017 and has not changed since then.
But don't focus only on learning these words, read more articles, short stories, news in English, because a large part of the tasks are small texts, for the completion of which it is necessary to understand the essence of the text. Sometimes words have several meanings that depend on the text itself and the topic of the task. Therefore, do not limit yourself to one meaning of the word, it will be optimal to turn to online dictionaries that give all possible variants of the meanings of words, such as this.

Writing part - an important part of the test is the written part, a small situation to which you need to write a detailed answer with examples from your own life.
Here are some useful links: 
– examples of situations;
– formal/informal letter writing template;
– opinion essay writing template

Choose a topic, take a notebook, a pen and practice! 
It is necessary to write and write again. With or without errors - it happens differently. But agree: it is difficult to learn by yourself only by reading what others have written. That's why you have to take it evaluation criteria these tasks, first familiarize yourself with them very well, and then - task topics and templates. After all, practice writing your own. As a guide, here sample, and also the instruction - as possible check it yourself their work.
