The Unified State Exam (USE) is a form of certification based on the results of obtaining an average general education(11 classes). All Unified State Examinations are conducted in written form in Russian. The only exception is the oral part of the certification in foreign languages ​​of your choice: English, German, Spanish or French.

The responsible body for conducting the Unified State Examination is the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor). Every year, this service officially approves a unified exam schedule in the Russian Federation.

At the beginning of spring 2016, the first stage of passing the Unified State Exam took place, and the main certification period began on May 27 and will last until June 20 inclusive. From June 22 to June 28 there will be a reserve stage, during which you can make an additional attempt and improve the score in the subject passed in the main stage.

Main stage exam dates:

Innovations of the Unified State Exam 2016

The complete approved exam schedule table also speaks of the third, additional stage. It is scheduled for September and is intended for passing compulsory disciplines. These are mathematics and the Russian language.

The three-step approach to certification is great news for graduates. According to the rules of Rosobrnadzor, everyone taking the Unified State Exam in a subject will receive the highest score obtained within three attempts. Therefore, anyone who did not score the required minimum points the first or even the second time can try to retake it.

Minimum threshold passing score in 2016 is presented in Table. 2

Child psychologists are inclined to believe that innovations in the Unified State Examination will have a positive impact on the condition of graduates and will reduce their level of anxiety. According to them, stress not only affects physical condition, but also blocks the work of analytical thinking and imagination, which are so necessary for serious certification.

What to expect from the Unified State Exam in 2017?

Rosobrnadzor does not plan to stop there. Perhaps already in next year Unified State Exam assignments will be completely deprived of the test part. In 2015, the commission already eliminated the option of random test answers in mathematics, Russian language and literature. Most likely, in 2017, the test taker will no longer be able to “guess” the correct answer without necessary knowledge, relying only on intuition. Teachers argue that this will also be a big advantage for that small part of test takers who have a psychologically difficult time with the tests. According to statistics, this is approximately 10–12% of all those certified.

Experts from the Ministry of Education and Science are increasingly talking about the possibility of rebuilding common system The Unified State Exam and make it a tool for entering a university. All students are encouraged to pass certificates, even with unsatisfactory grades. The only condition for obtaining a certificate will be the completion of 11 classes. This approach will give creative graduates and children with disabilities a chance to realize their potential. special abilities. Psychologists do not deny the fact that this approach will help them find true purpose and develop your talents to the fullest.

For 9th grade, it is proposed to leave the OGE as a preparatory certification before the Unified State Exam. When and whether the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science will be confirmed has not yet been reported.

Recently, Rosobrnadzor announced the dates and schedule of Unified State Examination exams in 2016 for graduates. And thanks to these dates, graduates can navigate and choose the exams they want to take. Please note that the Unified State Examination is conducted in two stages. First - early exams, the second is the main stage. And they also have their own date. Let's take a closer look at all the dates.

And so, soon - on March 21, the early stage of passing the Unified State Examination exams will begin.
And the main stage will begin on May 27th.

New in passing the Unified State Exam in 2016:
- Finally, our officials allocated a social studies exam on a separate day. After all, according to statistics, only 1 student out of 5 fails it. Therefore, such an exam simply must be completed in one day. And now, years later, it happened!
- if you received a bad mark for an exam in mathematics or the Russian language, then reserve days will be announced for retaking. They are scheduled for September 2016. Exact dates not yet known.
- in 2016 it will be possible to take the Unified State Exam Chinese language. However, not all schools will accept such an exam. Therefore, you need to check with your school principal.
- in 2016, graduates of 10th grade can try their hand at passing the Unified State Exam. His grades won't affect anything at all. It's just a test one year before the main exam.

Now look at the table with the schedule of all dates for the Unified State Examinations in Russia.

Every New Year brings innovation to the final test for school leavers. The beginning of the academic year will continue the modernization of the Unified State Examination. What awaits school graduates in 2017?

Exam schedule (draft)

Rosobrnadzor announced the calendar for the final test in 2017. Next year, it is proposed to conduct the unified state exam in three stages: in the spring - the preliminary stage and in the summer - the main stage. The early period for taking the Unified State Examination will begin on March 14 and continue until April 7.

There are additional days (15-16, 21-23 April) for retaking the final work in all subjects. The main period will begin on May 29 and will last until June 30. Additional feature The Unified State Exam will be given on June 22-24, 27-28, 30.

What both stages have in common is that items to be submitted on the same day are grouped in the same way. But the order in which they are carried out is completely different. The spring stage will begin with basic level mathematics (March 21). A day later (March 23), history with computer science and ICT takes up the baton. On March 25, all graduates take the Russian language test.

Students will take specialized level mathematics on March 28. On March 30, everyone who has chosen this subject will test their knowledge of social studies. The first day of April is allocated for geography with literature, the second of April - for physics with chemistry. The oral part of a foreign language can be taken on April 8, and the written tasks the next day. On the same day, the examiners will take biology.

Reserve days for early delivery and for the main stream do not coincide for the Unified State Exam in subjects combined on one day. High school students taking exams in the spring will be able to take advantage of an additional chance on April 15 to retake the Russian language, and the next day for mathematics. Computer Science and ICT, Chemistry, Literature are combined for a second chance on April 21.

Humanities subjects (social studies, history, foreign language) can be retaken on April 22. Rest educational subjects postponed to April 23 - oral foreign language, physics, biology and geography.

Reserve days for the main stage will begin on June 22, 2016 with a retake of geography and chemistry, foreign language and social studies, computer science and ICT. The oral part of a foreign language can be taken on June 23. The next day has been allocated by the organizers of the Unified State Exam for another opportunity to take physics and history, literature and biology.

Two days next week(June 27 and 28) are designated for an additional attempt to pass the Russian language and both levels of mathematics. On June 30, you can take the exam for everyone in any subject if for some reason you were unable to get the desired score in the subject in the main time.

Noteworthy is the peculiarity of the schedule of final exams for graduates in 2016: a special day is allocated for the social studies exam. This is due to the fact that many graduates choose this USE subject. After the Russian language and mathematics, social studies ranks first among all exams chosen by students.

In 2016, a third (additional) deadline appears for passing the Unified State Exam. The reserve stage will be held in September. It is intended for testing in traditionally compulsory disciplines: mathematics (September 10) and Russian language (September 17). The last opportunity to get the desired score in these subjects is September 24.

What innovations will bring

The 2016 Unified State Exam calendar allows graduates to attempt to pass the exam in a separate subject three times. This is good news. Of the three attempts to pass the Unified State Exam in the subject, the one that gives the maximum score for the exam will be selected. Therefore, those who did not reach the required minimum (the so-called threshold) can also try to retake it. And those who believe that they were simply overly worried during the Unified State Exam and know the subject with a higher score.

Psychologists say that the opportunity to repeat unsuccessful attempt passing the exam will lead to a decrease in the level of anxiety in the graduate. The absence of nervousness will allow the child to relax and show his knowledge to the maximum.

Along with the advantages, the changes will bring disadvantages. Graduates of 2016 will not find test tasks in KIM in four more subjects. If in 2015 test questions disappeared in mathematics, literature, and Russian language. Now it will not be possible to select one correct answer from the four proposed ones in computer science and ICT, geography, history, and social studies.

In the future it is expected completely remove test questions from KIMs in all subjects. It will not be possible to guess the answer without knowing the material of the topic studied.

The passing score for obtaining the status of a student of a higher educational institution will again be determined in advance. Compared to 2015, it will increase. The opportunity to retake the Unified State Exam three times gives hope of still gaining required quantity to pass the competition and enter the university.

Admission to the Unified State Exam

In December 2014, I passed a trial version of admission to the Unified State Exam. It was an essay on literature. Today's eleventh graders will definitely have to write such an essay. The deadline for the final essay in literature is December 2. The intended themes are also known. There are five of them:

• year of literature;
• time;
• Love;
• path.

No grades or points will be awarded for the masterpiece written. All assessment comes down to two results: “pass” or “fail”. “Pass” allows the student to take the Unified State Exam in all other subjects. If you receive a “failure,” you can try to rewrite the final essay. The dates for a possible retake are known: February 3 or May 4.

You are allowed to attempt to rewrite the final essay once. The second attempt to write it and get admission to the Unified State Exam will be allowed only after a year. It is planned to write the final essay in conditions as close as possible to the conditions for the implementation of the unified state exam. This counts psychological preparation every student at a crucial moment.

To obtain a certificate, you must cross the minimum threshold for two generally required academic disciplines: Russian language and mathematics. A profile exam in mathematics is necessary for those students who want to enter educational institution, where scores in this subject are taken into account. For a graduate who has not passed the specialized mathematics course, the path to university is closed.

Every schoolchild in our country mandatory passes unified state exams, which demonstrate the level of knowledge acquired at school and become the basis for the further development of education - admission to a university. Such an important event requires a long preparation, and therefore every student strives to find out the schedule of USE exams 2017 in advance.

Features of the Unified State Exam 2017

Until 2017, tests were the main form of knowledge testing. In 2016 uniform test questions recognized as outdated, because even without knowing the correct answer, the student had the opportunity to guess it from the options provided. Since 2017, it has been decided to return to the survey form of exams, that is, most subjects will be taken the same way as was customary in the “zeros” - in the period before 2009. In addition, the student can expect a whole series of innovations. Let's tell you more about them.

Firstly, a third is added to the two mandatory exams - it should be history. True, the name of the third item has not yet been firmly established, but at the beginning academic year this information will already be made public. That is, you will have to take the Russian language, mathematics and, most likely, history - more precisely, it will be known to Unified State Exam date 2017.

Secondly, RAO ( Russian Academy Education) insists on the introduction of a point scale for grading essays. To today The essay was evaluated according to only two criteria: pass or fail. This, according to representatives of the Russian Academy of Education, negatively affects the knowledge of students and gives advantages to those students who are simply too lazy to study literature - it is much easier to get a “pass” in an essay than an “A”.

Thirdly, on Unified State Exam results The grades on the certificate will also be affected. The higher the scores for school subjects, the higher final grade for the state exam.

Fourthly, if the points scored do not reach the threshold level, students will be given the opportunity to retake the Unified State Exam twice more. It will also be possible to take a retake if the student for some reason is not satisfied with the points he scored.

So, at the Unified State Exam, schoolchildren will have to take one of their choice. They can be taken several times until the student finds the result satisfactory.

The Unified State Exam retake usually takes place in September, most often in the first half of the month. However, the schedule for a possible retake will be known only by August 2017.

Extra points

Additional points may be added for exam scores. So, 10 points can be added to:

• for a certificate with only A's;
• for prizes won at Olympiads in school subjects;
• for achievements in sports.

Considering the possible addition of points, it is worth thinking about taking the Unified State Exam in advance: taking part in olympiads and competitions in all subjects, not just specialized ones; increase your level of knowledge, striving for excellent grades; participate in the sports life of the school.
