The transfer of Unified State Examination points 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 exam certificate.
Those who are finishing 11th grade and preparing to enter a university are especially interested in learning how the Unified State Exam 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 language.
The remaining subjects - and there are 14 in total - are taken on a voluntary basis, depending on the chosen university.
In order for the results to be displayed in the certificate, the graduate must score more than the established minimum.
How are the Unified State Exam results assessed?
The exam results are assessed by a commission and translated into a 100-point system.
There is an algorithm for converting these amounts into more familiar estimates. This method has not been officially used since 2009.
But if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with the scale for converting Unified State Examination grades.
The results are assessed in two stages:
- Based on the number of tasks completed, the student is given a primary score. It consists of the sum for all tasks completed correctly;
- Next, the primary Unified State Exam scores are converted to test scores. This figure is recorded in the Unified State Examination certificate and plays an important role for admission to a university. Below is a translation table for the math exam.
Important: The scale was developed taking into account the complexity of the tasks.
Up-to-date information on the Unified State Exam can always be obtained on the portal http://ege.edu.ru/ru.
What is the minimum score?
To receive a Unified State Exam certificate, a student must score above the established minimum limit in Russian language and mathematics.
It is determined annually for each individual subject. In fact, the minimum grade is the equivalent of a C.
This result reflects that the student has satisfactorily mastered the curriculum.
Minimum score:
- Determines the issuance of a certificate of passing the Unified State Exam.
- It is established for each subject annually after passing the exam and before the results are published.
At the end of 2016, 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 specialized level - 27.
The difference between primary scores and test scores
When assessing the results of passing the exam, the primary amount is first set. Then these USE 2017 scores are converted into test scores.
They are determined on a 100-point scale. This score will appear on the Unified State Examination certificate if it is higher than the minimum.
When calculating points, the algorithm is as follows:
- For each correctly completed task, one or more points are awarded.
- At the end, the amount for all the work is calculated.
- The primary Unified State Exam 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 tasks in 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.
Unified State Exam scores and grades
Although there is an approximate scale for converting Unified State Exam scores into grades that are familiar to all students, starting from 2009 this system has not been used.
The refusal to convert to grades is due to the fact that the sum of points does not affect the indicator in the certificate. It is recorded in a separate certificate.
If a student scores less than the minimum in one of the required subjects, he will not be issued a certificate or certificate.
If this is a subject that is taken on a voluntary basis, the result simply will not be counted anywhere.
If the exam results result in an unsatisfactory grade, what should I do? It all depends on what subject.
- 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.
- When an unsatisfactory grade is received in both subjects at once, a retake is possible only the next year.
- If you fail to score enough points in an optional subject, you can only retake the exam next year. An unsatisfactory result will not be reflected in any document. In fact, everything will look as if the graduate did not take this exam at all.
Depending on the subject, retaking is possible either in the same year on reserve days or in the next year.
Thus, if a student fails Basic Level Mathematics, he or she can take advantage of reserve days.
And if a low grade was obtained based on the results of a profile level, a retake will be possible only after a year.
What to do if a graduate does not agree with the assessment
If a graduate is confident that his work deserves a higher grade, he has the right to appeal.
In such a situation, the work will be reconsidered by the conflict commission.
There are two possible outcomes. When a grade appears to be too low, the student can either have points added or deducted.
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.
This may be due to illegible handwriting and similar circumstances.
If it appears that the grade is too low, students will appeal.
What does the exam consist of?
The general text of the task consists of three parts.
- Part A is designed as a test. Of the four proposed answer options, the graduate must choose one correct one.
- In Part B, the following types of tasks are possible: writing a one-word answer, choosing several correct options, or establishing correspondences.
- In Part C, the student is asked to give a detailed answer to the question.
Depending on the type of task, the verification process differs. The first two parts are checked automatically. Answers 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 assessed by two independent experts. If the results coincide, this total is displayed.
If a minor discrepancy is found after evaluation, the average result is displayed.
If there is 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 recorded in the database.
From there they are sent to schools where the exam was held.
How Unified State Exam results affect university admission
In order to apply for admission to a university, graduates need to pass the Unified State 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 delivered in person or sent by mail.
If the second option is chosen, you will need to issue a registered letter with a list of the attachments, as well as a receipt.
To find out whether 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 applying for enrollment is posted there. Their results of passing the Unified State Exam are also given there.
Enrollment takes place in two waves.
- When the first list is published, several days are allotted for applicants to provide the originals of their documents (in most cases they send copies).
- If the deadline for submitting documents has expired, but there are still free places, a second list is prepared.
To enroll in a university, you will need the following package of documents:
- application requesting admission;
- certified copies of the certificate and identity document;
- a form with a list of points scored based on the Unified State Examination results;
- photographs (their size and number are established by the university rules).
Other documents may also be required from the applicant. For detailed information, please contact the university of interest.
The transfer of Unified State Exam points in 2017 is carried out according to the same system as in previous years.
To pass the exam, you must score at least the minimum number of points, which is established for each subject annually.
To receive a certificate and a certificate with the results of the Unified State Exam, you need to exceed this limit in compulsory subjects.
How to convert primary scores into test USE 2015 in Russian language
When taking 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 verbally or digitally. The second part of the exam testing contains only one task. Students are asked to write an essay.
How are Unified State Examination scores in the Russian language translated and what is the minimum and maximum number of them that can be obtained? These questions are among the most concerning both for high school students themselves and for their parents and teachers. After checking the final test, a primary score is assigned: from 0 to 58. For each task, a certain number is provided: from 1 to 5. The more complex it is, the more points the graduate receives. Evaluating the results of writing an essay is carried out differently. For this, students can be awarded from 0 to 24 points.
Then the primary scores are converted into test scores. They are indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate. 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 cannot always apply for admission to universities. We can talk about successful completion of the basic general education program and the possibility of entering a university only if the student scores 16 primary or 36 test points, respectively. will be taken into account in the student's ranking 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.
The translation of Unified State Exam scores in the Russian language is carried out using a special scale. It is worth considering that the algorithm is adjusted from year to year.

Calculating USE results is not the easiest procedure. Let's look at how your knowledge is assessed and how scaling, primary and test scores affect this.
The number of primary points varies among different subjects. Each completed USE task is worth 1 or more points. The sum of these points constitutes the primary score of the examination paper. Next, a correspondence is established between the primary and test scores (with the maximum test score always equal to 100).
The scale for converting primary scores into scaled ones depends on the complexity of the tasks and statistical analysis of the Unified State Examination results for all exam participants and is calculated using a special computer program. This scale is not linear.
To make it clearer, let's understand the basic terms.
What is scaling?
What are primary and test scores?
The primary score is the sum of grades for completed assignments. In this case, correctly completed task of part A or B is scored 1 point, part C - up to 4 points.
A test score is a score on a 100-point scale, obtained through special statistical processing of completed forms at the stage of final processing of the results.
Another feature of the conversion scale is that a small change in the primary score at the ends of the scale (that is, with the primary score close to zero or to the maximum value) leads to a significant change in the test score (for example, 1 primary score corresponds to 6 test points in all subjects except foreign languages), while in the middle of the scale a change in the primary score by 1 leads to a change in the test score by 1 or 2.
Why are 60 test points awarded for 63% of completed assignments?
The percentage of correctly completed tasks is the number of correctly (partially correctly) completed tasks in relation to the maximum possible score for the test. The final (test) score is a score given taking into account the difficulty of completing each task, and is determined by a specialized procedure - scaling.
How is the final score determined?
The specification for each subject indicates how many primary points are awarded for each correctly completed CMM task. When processing the examination work, the primary points for correctly completed tasks are summed up. Conversion into test scores is carried out by a special program using an approved scaling technique.
How many days are examination papers checked?
Checking and processing of Unified State Exam forms in the Russian language and mathematics in the region should be completed no later than 6 days, and for other subjects - 4 days after the corresponding exam.
How many days are exam papers in the Russian language checked?
The regional information processing center must complete the processing of Unified State Exam forms in Russian language and mathematics no later than 6 days after the relevant exam. The timing depends on the size of the subject of the Federation, the presence of remote territories, and the number of participants. Another 2 days of work are checked at the federal level. Thus, information about the results in the Russian language is communicated to the Unified State Exam participants, as a rule, after 8-10 days.
When is the minimum number of points announced?
The minimum number of Unified State Exam points for each general education subject is announced by Rosobrnadzor 6-10 days after the Unified State Exam.
How many points do you need to score in Russian to get a C?
The minimum threshold confirming successful passing of the exam was 40 points in 2008, and 37 points in 2009. In accordance with the current regulatory framework, since 2009, the conversion of Unified State Examination points into a five-point assessment system for marking the certificate has not been carried out.
What if I didn’t get points in Russian or mathematics?
For a graduate to receive a certificate, the results of the Unified State Examination in Russian language and mathematics are important. Every year, during the main period of the Unified State Exam (in May-June), after all Unified State Exam participants have passed the exam in the subject, Rosobrnadzor sets a minimum number of points. If you achieve it, you will receive a certificate. If a graduate does not achieve the required minimum in one subject, then it can be retaken on reserve days (see). If the results are low in both the Russian language and mathematics, the certificate will not be issued. Such a graduate receives a certificate. He can retake the exams and receive a certificate only next year.
When will individual USE results be known?
The timing and procedure for familiarization with the results of the Unified State Exam are determined by the educational authority of the region, and it is established that the results of the Unified State Exam must be communicated to the participants of the Unified State Exam:
- within the main timeframe no later than 3 working days from the date of issuance of the order of Rosobrnadzor on establishing the minimum number of points in the relevant general education subject
- in additional terms - within 3 days after the approval of the protocols of the results of the Unified State Examination by the State Examination Committee.
Where can I find out the results of the Unified State Exam?
A graduate of the current year will learn the results of the Unified State Exam in his school, other Unified State Exam participants - in the PPE or in another way established by the education authority in each region. Information about USE results is provided free of charge!
Are the Unified State Exam scores converted into grades using a 5-point system?
In accordance with the current regulatory framework, since 2009, the conversion of Unified State Examination scores into a five-point assessment system has not been carried out. When conducting the Unified State Exam, a hundred-point assessment system is used. It is envisaged to establish a minimum number of Unified State Examination points (minimum threshold) for each general education subject, confirming that the graduate has mastered the basic programs of secondary (complete) general education.
What is the maximum number of points?
Unified State Examination results are assessed using a 100-point system. The maximum number of points for each subject is 100.
Will the Unified State Exam results be posted on the Internet?
The publication of Unified State Exam results at the federal level was tested during the experiment. Now, according to current regulatory legal documents, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are responsible for informing Unified State Examination participants about the results. In some regions, a decision has been made to post the results of the Unified State Examination on the Internet. In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, such a decision has not yet been made.
We will be told the number of points we have received, but how can we look at our work?
You can view your work when considering an appeal about disagreement with the awarded points. The conflict commission requests from the RCIO printed images of the examination work of the graduate who filed the appeal, which are then presented to the Unified State Examination participant. Examination papers completed by Unified State Exam participants are stored in the regional information processing center (RTSC).
What does it mean to “receive information about the results of the Unified State Exam”?
This means finding out the scores you received on the exam. Local government bodies of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation are responsible for notifying Unified State Examination participants about the exam results. The communication scheme should be communicated to participants in advance. A graduate of the current year will learn the results of the Unified State Exam in his school, other Unified State Exam participants - in the PPE or in another way established by the education authority in each region. As a rule, this happens within 6-10 days after passing the exam.
When preparing the article, materials from the official Unified State Examination information portal were used.
After checking the Unified State Exam tasks in the Russian language, a primary score is assigned for their completion: from 0 to 57. Each task is assessed with a certain number of points: the more complex the task, the more points you can get for it. For correct completion of tasks in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, 1 to 5 points are given depending on the complexity of the task. In this case, you can get from 0 to 24 points for the essay.
After this, the primary score is converted into a test score, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate. This score is used for admission to higher education institutions. Transfer of Unified State Examination points carried out using a special point scale.
Also, based on the Unified State Exam score, you can determine the approximate grade on a five-point scale that a student would receive for completing tasks in the Russian language in the exam.
Below is scale for converting Unified State Exam scores in the Russian language: raw scores, test scores and rough score.

Modern exams are assessed not on a five-point, but on a hundred-point system. This means that we don’t have to talk about the usual grades: twos, threes, fours, fives. An exam is considered to have been failed if the threshold set for that exam is not passed. Moreover, for each object this boundary is different. You can get an acceptable final score, but fail the exam, losing the opportunity to enter a higher educational institution.
What are the primary USE scores?
Each exam has its own structure. The Unified State Exam in different subjects differs in the total number of tasks, the format of the test part, and the complexity of tasks with a detailed answer. Assignments may be worth different amounts of points. This also applies to test tasks of various types: for the simplest ones you can get one point, for the most difficult ones - up to four or five points. We are talking about primary points.
Primary scores are the scores used to evaluate the student's answers. If you can get up to two points for correctly completing a task, these are not the two points that, together with others, ultimately add up to one hundred points. The number of primary points is different everywhere and depends only on the structure of the exam, but this figure is always less than one hundred. By the way, the Unified State Exam in foreign languages is an exception - there is no scale for converting scores and other subtleties, which means that the primary score can be considered the final score.
How many primary points are there in the Unified State Exam in Russian?
Test part of the Russian language exam - 33 primary points.
The written part of the Russian language exam - 24 primary points.
The Unified State Examination in Russian language has 57 primary points. Moreover, each point (as in any other exam in the Unified State Exam format) has equal “value”. It doesn’t matter in which part you earned points: this is not taken into account when converting to the hundred-point system.
What are secondary (test) Unified State Examination scores?
It is no coincidence that the website contains a scale for converting scores into the Russian language. With its help, primary points become secondary. And this happens very simply: using a special table, the primary scores are converted into test scores - a hundred-point system. - a document whose requirements must be met. It is not people who do the transfer of points: the required value is calculated by a computer.
Secondary (test) points are points in a hundred-point evaluation system. It is based on them that the fact of passing the exam (passing the threshold) is determined. Based on test scores, applicants are admitted to universities. Secondary points are directly dependent on the primary ones - the more primary points scored, the higher the final result.
How to convert primary points into secondary ones?
As mentioned above, for this you need to use. You can’t do without it: a difference of one primary point can raise or lower the final grade by one or more points. It all depends on the number of primary points scored: in different parts of the table the “price” of a primary point varies.
To receive the maximum score - 100 points - for the Russian language exam, you must complete all tasks without errors. This is the translation scale. But in a math exam, you may not complete all the tasks correctly, but still get the highest grade.
