The budget in 2018 is still a test. There is a lot of information on the Internet on this issue; it is located on the websites of universities and other official sources. To help you figure it out, we've collected all the data in one article. In front of you step-by-step instruction, which will help you assess your chances of getting free training.

Step 1. Find out how many free places there are

Each state university is required to allocate places on a budgetary basis. The number of places in the free department depends on the popularity of the faculty and specialty. And get a budget higher education It is possible not only in Moscow universities. In some, the number of free places reaches 1.5-2 thousand. For example, in Belgorod, Voronezh, Volgograd, Kirov, Rostov-on-Don, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk and other Russian cities.

In Russia, the state pays for about 50% of places in universities

Step 2. Understanding the terms

Let's consider the concepts without which it is difficult to assess your chances of admission:

• minimum threshold of Unified State Exam scores;
• minimum number of points for admission;
• passing score for universities.

What is the threshold score?

To receive a certificate, you must score a certain number of points in each subject. Here's what it was like in 2017:

• Russian language - 36 points;
• mathematics - 27 points;
• social studies - 42 points;
• computer science - 40 points;
• foreign language- 22 points.

For example, you chose to passing the Unified State Exam foreign language, then you need to score 36 points in Russian, 27 in mathematics and 22 in a foreign language - a total of 85 points. In theory, this is enough to apply to a university. But in practice, this is very little to enroll in a free department.

What is the minimum score?

Each university sets its own minimum number of Unified State Exam points for admission. Many technical schools are not ready to accept those who scored less than 50 points in mathematics. Humanitarian - put forward increased demands on languages.

What is a passing score?

The passing score depends on the Unified State Exam results with which applicants were admitted last year. The result of the last lucky winner, who entered the budget with a minimum number of points, is especially important.

Example. 200 people wanted to enroll, but there were 50 budget places. The student with the lowest score is considered passing. For example, with 150 points, despite the fact that the rest had a higher score.

The average Unified State Exam score in 2017 was 68.2

Step 3. Select a university based on passing score

If you can estimate what score you will get on the Unified State Exam, then it’s time to select a suitable university. By the way, trial exams are a good way to assess your chances.

All universities with free places, they are also called budgetary institutions higher education, for convenience we will divide into three categories:

• the most popular, or top;
• average;
• unpopular.

Typically, top universities set higher requirements, while others lower the bar in order to attract applicants. Let's look at the passing scores of universities in all three categories in 2017.

If your GPA is above 85: passing grades at popular universities

Conclusion. For admission to top universities GPA The Unified State Examination must be above 80-85. It’s difficult to become one of these excellent students, don’t you agree? If you are not sure of good results, consider schools with less stringent requirements.

If your average score is from 65 to 80 points: passing scores in secondary universities

Conclusion. With an average Unified State Exam score of 65-80 in 2017, it was possible to enter budgetary and leading regional universities.

If your GPA is 55-65 points: passing grades at unpopular universities

Conclusion.If you score less than 65, don't panic. Admission scores for many regional universities are below this level. And today you can get a good higher education not only in the capitals.

Step 4. Assess your chances by the number of points

280-300 points - best universities countries, any specialties.

200-250 points- popular universities, specialties: linguistics, foreign language, law, economics, management, healthcare, mathematics, physics.

200 points- secondary universities, specialties: computer science and Computer Engineering, pedagogy, chemistry and biotechnology, automation and control, electrical engineering, energy. Or leading regional universities, any specialties.

150-200 points- secondary universities, specialties: geology, ecology, vehicles, agriculture and fisheries. Or unpopular universities, any specialties.

Less than 150 points- unpopular universities, some specialties.

Sometimes, even with a high score, you may not get into the coveted top twenty, but with a low score, by luck, you can enter the desired university. The main thing is to take every chance and don’t forget about backup options.

What to do if you didn’t pass the Unified State Exam? People who are seriously passionate about goal setting positive thinking and self-improvement, they often say one simple truth: if a door slams in your face, it means five more have opened behind you. Even if your Unified State Exam scores leave much to be desired, and your last hope of getting into a university is dying before your eyes, don’t panic costs. All you have to do is step away from the closed door and turn around.

Door No. 1: paid training

If the fees at the institutes you are trying to attend are too high, do not rush to conclusions. Spend a couple of days on the Internet and carefully look at the websites of universities that you may not have even thought about enrolling in. Compare prices, number of people per place, admission ratings: it’s quite possible to find the best option. Pay attention to non-state universities and branches: Ural Financial and Legal Institute (UrFJI), National Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Ural Institute of Business", Humanitarian University (GU). An important plus: most universities are paid the number of seats is unlimited.Sometimes during the training process it is offered benefits for good and excellent students, for example, the same State University reduces the cost by 100% if the session is passed “excellently”. We’ll share a secret: you can find specialties where there are not even enough applicants. A shortage is not necessarily a sign of low-quality education; sometimes it occurs in rare, specific areas. They take it there, of course, with any points.

Door #2: distance learning

If full-time education is still not affordable for you, consider options evening, part-time or distance learning. For example, a year of distance learning in the specialty “Social Work” at the Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University (RSPU) costs 44,000 rubles, “Management” at the Humanitarian University (GU) - 38,000 rubles, “Applied Informatics” at the Ural Institute of Economics and Management and driving license (UIEUiP) - 37,200 rubles. The correspondence course goes well with work, hobbies and, if necessary, preparation for the Unified State Exam.

Door No. 3: colleges at universities, secondary vocational education

There are many benefits to attending college. First, all you need to enroll is WithAverage score on the State Examination Test and certificateon completion of 9th or 11th grade. Secondly, a college at a university will become a strong bridge on the way to the desired institute. In Yekaterinburg there is Medical College at USMU, IMS college, USUE college, USFLTU college, USUE college, USGUPS college. As a rule, such colleges provide excellent preparation for admission, they invite institute teachers to help you smoothly prepare for student life, including psychologically. Lectures, seminars and sessions will no longer come as a shock to you. You can stop at average vocational education , without considering going to university after college. This option is suitable for those who have chosen a profession where secondary education will be sufficient when applying for a job. Here are just some of the places where you can go: Ural College of the Beauty Industry (UrKIK), Ural Polytechnic College, Ural College of Technology and Entrepreneurship, Ural Radio Engineering College A.S. Popova (URTC), Ural College of Construction, Architecture and Entrepreneurship, Sverdlovsk College arts and culture, Ural state college them. I.I. Polzunov, etc. You can learn almost anything: from economics and linguistics to hairdressing and architecture.

Door No. 4: work

No one is stopping you from devoting this year to receiving real skills.You have more chances to find a good part-time job, even if you have no experience, than your student peers; employers will be incredibly pleased with your independence from the university schedule. There are many advantages behind this door: new people, experience, partial financial independence from parents, and, of course, the opportunity to purposefully prepare for the Unified State Exam next year. Again, do not think that work will be limited to walking in a Cheburek costume and handing out papers. Often Advertising sites are looking for office assistants, consultants in large chain stores, operators in call centers, etc.

Door #5: gap-year

You can, taking foreign schoolchildren and students as an example, dedicate this year impressions. More often "gap year" taken just after school before entering university. This is a great opportunity to see the world, communicate with people, try yourself in different areas, decide on the choice of specialty, weigh all the pros and cons. In addition, you gain the opportunity to focus only on those subjects that you need for admission, and not be scattered throughout the entire school curriculum. Go to speaking courses, master classes in sand drawing, to the pool - engage in self-development, spend this time usefully for soul, mind and body and it will definitely return to you as a plus.

P.S.

In every second biography famous people there is a line about how they were not accepted into university the first time, got bad grades at school, were considered incapable of learning, but this did not stop them from achieving success in the field that is truly interesting to them. The world will not stop spinning if you you will get into the university of your dreams not today, but in a year, even if now it seems different to you. Whatever door you choose, remember the main thing: studying is only part of a big and interesting life, in which there are many paths. Was the information useful? Share with other applicants!

The 2018 Unified State Exam campaign is coming to an end in Russia, and even the second wave of exams is coming to an end. However, checking exams takes time, and this moment graduates are awaiting the latest USE results of the first wave.

Some people already realize that they did not score enough points - much less than the student expected before taking the exams. Some people haven’t received all the results and are worried about what to do if there aren’t enough points. What if I didn’t get the required points on the Unified State Exam, is it possible to enter the institute, what other options remain for the applicant in 2018.

What do you mean you didn't get the required points?

First of all, it’s worth, of course, understanding what “few points for the Unified State Exam” means. Some of the graduates studied excellently all their lives and hoped for at least 80-90 points for each Unified State Exam, scored an average of 77 and considered that life was over. And someone has completely failed the Russian language or mathematics and risks being left without a certificate of education as such, even before college here at all.

Two situations can be considered a minor disaster:

• the student was unable to pass one of the mandatory exams (Russian language or mathematics) and risks being left without an education document,
• The student did not achieve the minimum Unified State Exam scores set by Rosobrnadzor (we have previously provided a table of minimum scores for each Unified State Exam on our website).

The way out of the first situation is a retake. At the moment, those schoolchildren who were unable to pass the mandatory Unified State Exam in 2018 in the first wave know about this and even managed to retake the exams in the additional Unified State Exam stage. The results of these Unified State Examinations will come on July 10-11.

If, based on the results of retaking the mandatory Unified State Exam graduate gains enough points, and his elective exam results are in perfect order, you can try to enter a university in the same year, writes the Therussiantimes portal. If the exams are failed again, retaking is possible only in September. Of course, you can forget about the institute, at least in 2018.

If a graduate has successfully completed the mandatory Unified State Exam, but failed in one of the elective exams, and the number of points scored is below the minimum, he will not be able to enter the institute. Universities simply do not have the right to admit applicants if they provide USE results below the minimum threshold from Rosobrnadzor. Even for paid training.

The first option is to enroll in a year

There is nothing wrong with this option. Retreating at the first small difficulty, giving up higher education because of a minor failure is not the best start adult life. Even if a student is accustomed to having everything easily and simply, it’s time to learn how to achieve his goal.

A graduate needs to understand that missing a year is not a big deal at all. It is better to receive a higher education diploma a year later than not to have one at all. Unless, of course, it really is that important.

What to do during this year is up to you to decide depending on the situation. Most likely, young people are taking the risk of joining the army, and it will be a little easier for girls.

But the main thing you need to do this year, if you are not in the army, is to prepare diligently for retaking the Unified State Exam. The results of the exams that suit you will be valid for four years, so you can focus on a problematic subject, in which the Unified State Exam was passed with too low scores.

Remember that graduates of previous years take the Unified State Exam earlier than the main wave - in the spring. So you will have less than one year to prepare.

The second option is to enroll in a paid department at the institute

This is a solution for those who scored few points on the Unified State Examination, but still Furthermore minimum, which closes the way to universities.

If all options for enrolling on a budget are impossible or uninteresting, enroll in a paid department. Of course, there must be financial opportunities for this. You may have to study and work at the same time.

The third way out is to get a secondary specialized education

This solution is suitable for everyone. Even if you failed both mandatory Unified State Examination and retaking is impossible (and if you don’t pass two mandatory Unified State Exams at once, this is exactly the situation), you can always use your ninth grade certificate.

With this certificate you can enter a college, technical school or other secondary school. educational institution. We advise you to pay attention to colleges at universities. Quite often, such colleges associated with institutes or universities are the suppliers of applicants for them.

Whether a college or technical school operates at a university or on its own, in any case, the road to a university upon completion is not closed to you.

Whatever the situation you find yourself in and how hopeless it may seem to you, in fact, if you set yourself the goal of getting a higher education, you will get it. And it is still unknown which university graduate will achieve more success - an excellent student who is used to getting everything easily or one who, by the time he received his diploma, has learned to overcome life's difficulties.

Preparations for the upcoming Unified State Exam 2019 are already in full swing in schools, and future graduates and parents are concerned with questions - how all subjects of the Unified State Exam are assessed, what minimum and passing scores are set this year, as well as what exam results can be considered satisfactory or good .

Information about how exam papers are assessed, as well as current score conversion tables for certain subjects will help you navigate the complex rules of the Unified State Exam and optimally distribute time between tasks while completing the work.

Methods for assessing work on the Unified State Exam 2019

The Ministry of Education and Science believes that the stage of active reform of the knowledge control system has been successfully completed, and in the near future there are no plans for significant changes in the structure of KIMs and assessment standards OGE works and Unified State Exam. Just like in the past academic year, exam papers for 2019 will be checked in two ways:

1. Test blocks, in which students fill out a special form, will be digitized and checked using a computer. This approach allows you to process forms really quickly and also eliminates the human factor.
2. Questions with detailed answers will be checked by experts. Each entry will be assessed according to uniform established criteria by two independent experts. In the event of a significant discrepancy between the points given, a third expert may be involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.

When evaluating work they talk about different types points, namely:

• test scores;
• primary scores;
• certification scores;
• minimum test scores;
• minimum passing scores.

Let's figure out what all this means.

Test score

All Russian graduates know that the best Unified State Examination result in any subject is 100 points! Lists of money earners annually adorn the news feeds during the entrance campaigns. To obtain a certificate for the Unified State Exam 2019, it is enough to score the minimum points (corresponding to a grade of “3”) in all subjects chosen for passing.

But few people wonder how test scores are calculated, which will subsequently be included in the certificate of participation in the Unified State Exam and how the points earned on the Unified State Exam 2019 can be compared with the school grade.

So, let's start from the very beginning - with the initial check exam paper and, accordingly, assigning primary scores.

Primary score

In the process of checking the work, the commission calculates the so-called primary score by summing up the points for correctly completed CMM tasks. It is worth noting that the primary scores for various items differ significantly. Details about the principle of calculating the primary score can be found in the specifications for a particular subject, which FIPI annually posts on its official website.

Thus, for the Unified State Exam 2019, the following boundaries of primary scores have been established:

Please note that the primary score corresponds to the test score only in foreign languages! In all other cases, an additional transfer is made from primary to test scores.

Attestation score

The concept of a certification score exists for compulsory Unified State Examination subjects. Until the threat to introduce history and a foreign language into the list of required disciplines is implemented, the certification score is calculated separately only for the Russian language and mathematics.

So, to receive a certificate, graduates of 2019 will only need to type:

• 24 points in Russian language;
• 23 points in basic mathematics.

As you can see, for these two subjects the certification score is even lower than the minimum primary score. For other disciplines, certification is counted according to the officially established minimum test score.

Of course, this level of preparation will not allow the graduate to enter a listed Russian university. The minimum thresholds are relevant for those who do not plan to compete for places at universities and will be satisfied with the fact that they will receive a certificate at all.

If the goal is higher education, you need to focus on completely different parameters:

1. Minimum passing grade in the subject.
2. Minimum passing threshold at the university of interest.

Minimum passing score

It is quite natural that with a grade that corresponds to the boundaries of a “C”, there are very few prospects of entering a university. If we talk about entering Russian universities on a budget, which, naturally, all graduates strive for, then the minimum limit of the quoted Unified State Exam result is within 65 of a possible 100 test scores.

Having scored 65-75 points in the subjects required for admission, you can try to compete for a budget place at one of the small regional universities. If your goal is to study in the capital, then on the Unified State Exam you will need to demonstrate a result of at least 90 out of 100 possible points! For example, only really high passing scores in all required subjects at the Unified State Exam 2019 will allow you to become a student at such capital universities.

	Average USE result
MSTU im. N.E. Bauman
State IRYa them. A.S. Pushkin
YES Russian Foreign Ministry

Information about the minimum passing threshold for a specialty should be found on the website of the university whose student you dream of becoming, because this parameter depends on many factors, including:

• quotation rate of the educational institution;
• popularity of the chosen direction;
• level of training of applicants;
• number of budget places;
• competition for one budget place.

Test scores and evaluation

Officially, there is no concept of “Translating a Unified State Exam test score into a grade,” since it is the test score that is included in the certificate and is also taken into account during the admissions campaign. But students, their parents and teachers are often interested in what school result the points earned on the Unified State Exam correspond to - for this, in 2019 the following approximate table of points and grades will be used:

Now you know what minimum scores you can aim for and what results you need to strive for when preparing for the 2019 Unified State Exam. We will also tell you more about how to prepare for mathematics, Russian language, social studies, physics and other subjects this year on the pages of our website.

Every graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare for the Unified State Exam 2018 and score the maximum possible points. What does it mean to “pass the exam well” and how many points will be enough to compete for a budget place in a particular university? This will be discussed in this article.

We will cover the following important questions:

First of all, it is important to understand that there is:

• minimum score, giving the right to receive a certificate;
• the minimum score that allows you to apply to a university;
• the minimum score sufficient for actual admission to the budget in a specific specialty at a certain university in Russia.

Naturally, these figures differ significantly.

Minimum certification score

Minimum Unified State Examination scores are established for compulsory subjects - Russian language and mathematics basic level and in 2018 are:

Having passed this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to submit documents to the university.

Minimum test score

The test minimum is a threshold value that gives the right to enter a university. In other words, persons who have passed the test threshold theoretically have the right to compete for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly ranked universities with minimal indicators.

In 2018, in all subjects except Russian language and basic mathematics, the minimum Unified State Exam test scores coincide with the certification scores and are:

Item	Minimum test score
Russian language
Mathematics (basic level)
Mathematics (profile level)
Social science
Literature
Foreign language
Biology
Computer science
Geography

The principle of calculating the success of passing a single state exam assumes that the subject must demonstrate a high, average or sufficient level of knowledge, corresponding to grades “5”, “4” and “3” on the school scale.

In case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing with a score that the examinee considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to retake the Unified State Exam.

Minimum score for admission to the budget

Most universities announce the threshold score required for applicants for a budget place. This allows each applicant to realistically assess the prospects for admission and choose universities and specialties taking into account the points scored on the Unified State Exam.

In 2018, we can be guided by the fact that last season the average passing scores for all Unified State Exam subjects among applicants admitted to MGIMO and other highly ranked universities in the capital, fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for most regional universities in the Russian Federation, 65-75 points can be considered a competitive result.

Converting the primary score to the resulting score

By completing the tasks proposed in the Unified State Examination ticket, the examinee gains so-called primary points, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When assessing the level of knowledge, such primary scores are converted into final scores, which are entered into the certificate and are the basis for admission.

By using online calculator, you will be able to compare primary and test scores in subjects of interest.

Just like last year, in 2018 recruited at passing the Unified State Exam points affect the certificate score and, although the official table for comparing test scores and traditional assessments has not been adopted, you can roughly compare your scores right now using a universal calculator.

Passing scores of the top 10 universities in Russia

		total
	Moscow State University them. M.V. Lomonosov
	Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
	National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI"
	St. Petersburg State University
	Moscow state institute international relations
	National research university « graduate School economics"
	Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman
	National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University
	Novosibirsk National Research State University
	Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties at the same university may vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants admitted to the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a kind of guideline for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.

The minimum passing score is influenced by many factors, including:

1. the total number of graduates who applied and the scores shown on their certificates;
2. the number of applicants who provided original documents;
3. number of beneficiaries.

So, seeing your name in 20th place in the list of a specialty that provides 40 budget places, you can confidently consider yourself a student. But, even if you find yourself on this list of 45, there is no reason to be upset if among those standing in front of you there are 5-10 people who provided copies of documents, because most likely these people are set on another university and submitted documents for this specialty as a backup option .
