Hypokhâgne and khâgne B/L (humanities and social sciences prépa)
Hypokhâgne then khâgne B/L combine humanities and social sciences, with maths. Lumi helps you remember works, sociology and economics together.

In short
The B/L track, lettres et sciences sociales, is a two-year humanities prépa, hypokhâgne then khâgne. It combines literature, philosophy and history with maths, sociology, economics and geography. It prepares for the banque d’épreuves littéraires and the ENS exams, and for other schools, notably those aimed at social sciences. It differs from the A/L track in having no compulsory ancient language.
What goes on your cards
In B/L, make cards for sociology authors and concepts, economic models and mechanisms, maths and statistics formulas, history and geography dates and landmarks, alongside the set works. Lumi has you recall them.
A study rhythm
Since you juggle social sciences, maths and humanities, alternate subjects from one session to the next rather than staying on one block (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007). Keep a short daily session and a weekend review. In the spring of year two, cycle through everything. See Does interleaving, or mixed practice, really help you study?.
