Each graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to prepare well for the Unified State Examination-2018 and score the highest possible points.

Minimum USE scores for 2018

Depending on the specialty for which the graduate enters, the core subject may be mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, a foreign language or another subject that is the basis of education. Every year, the admission committee of the university sets the threshold value of this score. If a student cannot provide a certificate with a passing minimum, his documents are not considered even if he has high scores in other subjects.

Russian language - at least 34 points;

basic mathematics - at least 27 points;

profile mathematics - at least 27 points;

social studies - at least 42 points;

physics - at least 36 points;

literature - at least 32 points;

Is it possible to retake the exam to improve the result?

The exam can be retaken only for the next year. But the compulsory subjects - Russian language or mathematics - are allowed to retake this year, but only if the participant has not overcome the minimum threshold for one of these subjects. For example, if one of the exams is passed successfully, and the required minimum is not scored in the second. If the graduate has not passed both mandatory exams, he will be able to retake them in September. It happens that a student came to the exam, started writing a paper, but for some good reason could not complete it. In this case, the result is considered canceled, and you can retake the exam on the reserve day.

If the student does not agree with the points given, where and to whom should he go?

Within two working days after the official day of the announcement of the results, an appeal must be filed to where the application for the exam was written. Usually it's a school. She will immediately forward the appeal to the conflict commission. Each region has such commissions, and everyone has the right to prove their case.

Recently, the action "100 points for Victory" was held in Nalchik, when last year's hundred-pointers told current graduates how to successfully pass the exam. There was one girl who was given a 97 on the exam, but she was sure that she deserved an even higher mark. The work was reviewed, she was given 100 points.

Recently, the number of applications to conflict commissions has decreased. Those guys who filed an appeal just like that, at random, stopped applying: what if the examiners add points? Now all statements - in essence, as a rule, from those who are very confident in their abilities and knowledge.

The transfer of USE scores is made after the primary result is calculated, based on the approved scale, it is converted into test scores.

They play an important role when entering a university and are recorded in the certificate of passing the exam.

Those who finish the 11th grade and are preparing to enter a university are especially interested in learning how the USE score is translated.

Hundreds of thousands of students undergo this procedure every year. To obtain a certificate, it is enough to pass only two subjects - mathematics and Russian.

The rest of the subjects - and a total of 14 of them - are taken on a voluntary basis, depending on the chosen university.

In order for the results to be displayed in the certificate, the graduate needs to score more than the established minimum points.

How are the results of the exam evaluated

The results of the exam are evaluated by the commission and translated into a 100-point system.

There is an algorithm for converting these amounts into more familiar estimates. Officially, this method has not been used since 2009.

But if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with the scale for transferring USE marks.

The evaluation of the results is carried out in two stages:

• by the number of completed tasks, the student is given a primary score. It consists of the sum for all tasks performed correctly;
• then the primary USE scores are translated into test scores. This figure is fixed in the USE certificate and plays an important role for admission to the university. Below is a translation table for the math exam.

Important: the scale is designed taking into account the complexity of the tasks.

Up-to-date information on the exam can always be obtained on the portal http://ege.edu.ru/ru.

What is the minimum score

To receive a USE certificate, a student needs to score more than the established minimum limit in Russian and mathematics.

It is determined annually for each individual subject. In fact, the minimum score is the equivalent of a three.

This result reflects that the student has satisfactorily mastered the curriculum.

Minimum score:

1. Determines the issuance of a certificate of passing the exam.
2. It is set for each subject annually after passing the exam and before the results are published.

At the end of 2016, in order to obtain a certificate, it was necessary to obtain at least 36 test points in the Russian language.

In mathematics, this limit is 3, and in the profile level - 27.

The difference between primary scores and test scores

When evaluating the results of passing the exam, the primary amount is first set. Then these USE 2017 scores are transferred to test scores.

They are determined on a 100-point scale. This score will be in the USE certificate if it is above the minimum.

When calculating points, the algorithm is as follows:

1. For each correctly completed task, one or more points are awarded.
2. At the end, the sum for the entire work is calculated.
3. The primary USE scores are being translated.

Regarding test scores, they are calculated on a 100-point system. But the amount of primary may differ for different items.

For example, in mathematics, you can get 30 primary points, and for foreign languages ​​this limit is 80.

The assessment of the task depends on its complexity. For the tasks of part B, one primary point is awarded for the correct answer.

For part C, there are several options: for tasks 1 and 2, 2 primary points are awarded, the correct answer to question 3 and 4 immediately gives 3, and tasks 5 and 6 will add 4 points to the student's result.

USE scores and grades

Although there is an approximate scale for converting USE scores into grades familiar to all students, since 2009 this system has not been applied.

The refusal to transfer to grades is due to the fact that the amount of points does not affect the indicator in the certificate. It is fixed in a separate certificate.

In the event that a student scored less than the minimum result in one of the compulsory subjects, neither a certificate nor a high school diploma will be issued to him.

If this is a subject from those that are surrendered on a voluntary basis, the result simply will not be counted anywhere.

If an unsatisfactory grade was obtained according to the results of the exam, what should I do? It all depends on what subject.

1. If the number of points scored is below the minimum in mathematics or in the Russian language, you can retake the exam in the same year on one of the reserve days.
2. When an unsatisfactory grade is obtained immediately in both subjects, retake is possible only for the next year.
3. If you did not manage to score enough points in an optional subject, you can retake the exam only next year. An unsatisfactory result will not be reflected in any document. In fact, everything will look as if the graduate did not pass this exam at all.

Depending on the subject, a retake is possible either in the same year on reserve days, or in the next.

Thus, if a student has not passed mathematics at the basic level, he can use the reserve days.

And if a low score was obtained based on the results of the profile level, retake will be possible only after a year.

What to do if the graduate does not agree with the assessment

If the graduate is sure that his work deserves a higher rating, he has the right to file an appeal.

In such a situation, the work will be re-considered by the conflict commission.

There are two possible outcomes. When a score seems low, the student can either be given points or points taken down.

Important: according to the results of the Unified State Examination in 2010, of all the appeals filed, the third part was satisfied.

The first two parts of the exam are tested without human intervention. The possibility of errors cannot be ruled out.

The reason for this may be illegible handwriting and similar circumstances.

If it appears that the grade is low, students file an appeal.

What is the exam

The general text of the task consists of three parts.

1. Part A is in the form of a test. Of the four proposed answers, the graduate must choose one correct one.
2. In part B, the following types of tasks are possible: writing a one-word answer, choosing several correct options, or establishing correspondence.
3. In part C, the student is asked to give a detailed answer to the question.

Depending on the type of task, the verification process is different. The first two parts are checked automatically. Responses are scanned by the system and scored.

This process takes place without human intervention. Upon completion of the test, the results are sent to the testing center located in Moscow.

Part C is evaluated by two independent experts. If the results match, this total is set.

If a slight discrepancy is found after evaluation, the average result is displayed.

With a noticeable inconsistency, a third specialist is appointed.

After the verification is completed, all data is sent to a single testing center. There they are processed and fixed in the database.

From there they are sent to the schools where the exam was taken.

How do USE scores affect college admissions?

In order to apply for admission to a university, graduates need to take the exam.

In total, you can apply to 5 universities, in each of them no more than three specialties.

The application is prepared in writing and handed over personally or sent by mail.

If the second option is selected, you will need to issue a registered letter with a description of the attachment, as well as a notification of receipt.

To find out if the application was approved, you need to go to the official website of the university.

When the acceptance of documents is completed, a list of those who apply for enrollment is laid out there. Their results of passing the exam are also given there.

Enrollment takes place in two waves.

1. When the first list is published, a few days are allotted for applicants to provide the originals of their documents (in most cases they send copies).
2. If the deadline for submitting documents has expired, but there are still vacancies, a second list is prepared.

To enter the university, you will need the following package of documents:

• an application for admission;
• certified copies of the certificate and identity document;
• a form with a list of points scored according to the results of the exam;
• photographs (their size and number are established by the rules of the university).

Other documents may be requested from the applicant. For more information, please contact the university of interest.

The transfer of USE scores in 2017 is carried out according to the same system as in previous years.

To pass the exam, you need to score at least the minimum number of points that is set for each subject annually.

To get a certificate and a certificate with the results of the Unified State Examination, you need to exceed this limit in compulsory subjects.

How to translate primary scores into test USE 2015 in Russian

In 2018, more than 133 thousand people took part in the USE in biology, which is slightly more than the number of participants in the exam in 2017 (111,748 people), 2016 (126,006) and 2015 (122,936). The biology exam is traditionally in demand and is one of the five most popular elective final exams. It is chosen by biology-motivated graduates entering medical, veterinary, agricultural universities, psychological and biological faculties of universities, academies and institutes of physical culture and sports, and a number of other universities.

In 2018, the average test score was 51.4. Its slight decrease compared to the previous year is primarily due to a decrease in the share of participants in the test score range of 61–80 (by 2.26%) and an increase in the share of participants in the range of 41–60 (by 3.26%). At the same time, there is a persistent downward trend in the number of participants with results in the range of 81–100. The reduction in the share of high-scorers can be explained by a set of measures to improve the quality of verification of detailed answers by experts of the subject commissions of the regions, as well as the inclusion in part 2 of the KIM of new plots of a specific, contextual, practice-oriented nature that required clear argumentation, and not the reproduction of general or particular knowledge on the subject. This allowed for a better differentiation of participants with high test scores.

The minimum test score in 2018, as in previous years, was 36 points, and the primary score was 16 points. The proportion of USE participants in biology who did not score the minimum number of points in 2018 was 17.4%. Compared to 2017, the proportion of participants who scored test scores in the range of 41-60 was 40.6% (in 2017 - 37.3%), and in the range of 61-80 was 25.6% (in 2017 - 27.9%.

In 2018, 48 graduates completed all the tasks of the examination paper and scored 100 points, which amounted to 0.04% of the total number of USE participants. The data obtained indicates, on the one hand, a rather high level of complexity of the KIM USE 2018 model and, on the other hand, the availability of tasks, which is confirmed by the distribution of primary and test scores of participants.

More detailed analytical and methodological materials of the USE 2018 are available at the link.

Our website contains about 5500 assignments for preparing for the exam in biology in 2018. The general plan of the examination paper is presented below.

PLAN OF THE EXAMINATION WORK OF THE USE IN BIOLOGY 2019

Designation of the level of difficulty of the task: B - basic, P - advanced, C - high.

Correspondence between the minimum primary scores and the minimum test scores of 2019. Order on amendments to Appendix No. 1 to the order of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science.

When passing the exam testing, students are asked to complete 24 basic tasks from the first part. They require graduates to provide a short answer, which is recorded in verbal or digital form. The second part of the exam testing contains only one task. Students are asked to write an essay.

How is the transfer of USE scores in the Russian language carried out and what is the minimum and maximum number of them that can be obtained? These issues are one of the most exciting for both high school students themselves, and for their parents and teachers. After checking the final test, a primary score is set: from 0 to 58. For each task, a certain number of them is provided: from 1 to 5. The more difficult it is, the more points the graduate receives. Evaluation of the results of writing an essay is carried out in a different way. For him, students can be awarded from 0 to 24 points.

Then the primary scores are converted into test scores. They are indicated in the certificate of the unified state examination. It is this result that is taken into account when entering universities.

How many points do you need to score to talk about passing the test? It should be borne in mind that students who have received a certificate may not always qualify for admission to universities. It is possible to talk about the successful assimilation of the main general education program and the possibility of entering a university only if the student scored 16 primary, or 36 test points, respectively. will be taken into account in the student's rating in the list of applicants. The average passing score is at least 65-75. Graduates planning to enter leading universities in Moscow and other cities of our country should take into account the fact that in this case this figure will be higher.

Translation of USE scores in Russian is carried out using a special scale. It should be borne in mind that the algorithm is adjusted from year to year.

USE score table in Russian

Correspondence between the primary scores of the Unified State Examination 2018 and test scores in all academic subjects according to the 100-point assessment system is determined by the documents of Rosobrnadzor.

Scale for transferring USE scores 2018 to 100 point system

To confirm the development of the educational program of secondary general education for each academic subject, except for the USE in mathematics at the basic level, a minimum number of USE points is established according to a 100-point grading system.

There is also a minimum number of points for each subject of the Unified State Examination required for admission to universities. Below this level, universities do not have the right to set their own minimum scores with which they will accept applicants.

But above - they can. Therefore, these scores should be based on (and not guided by) if you decide to get higher education.

The difference in the minimum scores for obtaining a certificate and entering a university is only in the Russian language.

Validity of results - 4 years following the year of receipt of such results.

The desire to know your results immediately is quite understandable, but you should wait a bit. On average, papers are checked for one to two weeks, depending on the number of students taking the exam. For example, a large number of children take the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, on average, about 700 thousand people annually.

This is a big exam, so the results will be out in about two weeks. And the results in the literature can be obtained much faster. The deadlines for issuing results to participants are determined by Rosobrnadzor and published on the ege.edu.ru portal.
