Slept 6 hours, worked, studied on weekends, earned for courses herself: the price of 100 points on the Centralized Exam for a schoolgirl from Berezino
Hanna Ulasava scored 100 points in social studies and Russian language, and 99 in Belarusian history, writes "Minskaya Prauda".

Hanna began preparing for the Centralized Exam while already working. At 16, without her parents' consent, she got a job as a barista, then a bartender. She paid for all her tutoring sessions herself.
Let's calculate together:
- Russian language — about 2500 rubles (lessons from July).
- Social studies — about 2700 rubles.
- History of Belarus (Kedr courses) — 554 rubles for 3 months.
In total for preparation — more than 5 thousand rubles. Hanna earned this money herself.
— How many hours a day? When I work, I don't study at all. On weekends — 3-4 hours. I slept 6-7 hours, sometimes 8, if I was lucky, — the girl recounts.
A key figure in Hanna's preparation was Yulia Gennadyevna Sushinskaya, a tutor. She previously worked at a gymnasium and now only engages in private practice. Her approach is not to "train for tests" but to teach understanding of the material.
— When you work on understanding, not on keywords, then there are no problems with formulations either, — Hanna explains.
Apparently, it works: for social studies — 100 points.
To the question of what distracts modern schoolchildren, Hanna answers briefly:
— I am generally an asocial person. No TikTok, no long sessions on social media.
— I have few friends, they don't call me to hang out. Instead — work, notes, and one overarching goal.
In 2025, the passing score for the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Communications (where Hanna's mother studied) was 382.
Hanna's total for three subjects is 389-390, plus history at 99 points (one mistake).
Hanna's first Centralized Exam in social studies went calmly: she drew her favorite number 14, sat down for the fifth variant, and "didn't bother anyone."
But for the Russian language exam, the atmosphere was different.
— After violations were found during the first Centralized Exam, a commission came in during the second one, took away files, and emptied pockets. The atmosphere was very tense, — the girl recalls.
At the most crucial moment, there was a glitch: while transferring answers to the form, she mixed up the tasks. She crossed it out and corrected it.
— I thought: the computer won't read it. But a person, maybe, will understand.

She called her tutor with one question about the phrase "the air was saturated with mystery" — is it an addition or part of the predicate? She calmed down.
And then an SMS arrived.
— I sat refreshing the RIKC website from three o'clock. The site "crashed". They wrote in Telegram: wait for an SMS. It arrived half an hour later. I sighed with relief.
Hanna lists what she paid for success.
— I didn't draw, didn't read, didn't do any of my old hobbies. I only studied, worked, and slept.
Even her health couldn't withstand it: atopic dermatitis flared up. After the exams, she had to go to the hospital to treat her hands.
— Hanna, does Berezino mean something to you?
— Of course. My childhood passed here. I love my grandmother, I know all her friends. This is my town, and it brought me luck.
Hanna independently studied chemistry, physics, and mathematics in a year and a half. Now she plans to enter the Faculty of Journalism or the Faculty of Philosophy — where information and communication are studied. Like her mother.
