We talked in detail about... However, it is quite understandable that most questions arise about passing the Unified State Exam among those who have already graduated from school - graduates from previous years who want to enroll in universities in 2019 and who need fresh Unified State Exam results for this. How is registration for the Unified State Exam 2019 carried out for graduates of previous years, how and where to apply to sign up for the exams.

Do all graduates from previous years need to take the Unified State Exam again?

Not everyone. The results of the final certification are valid for four years, so if you took the Unified State Exam in 2015-2018, and also took exams in the subjects that you need for admission in 2019, and if you are satisfied with the scores you received as a result of the exam, take the Unified State Exam You do not need. Universities in your case are obliged to accept the results of exams from previous years.

But this, of course, is an ideal situation. In practice, there are quite a lot of school graduates from previous years entering universities who either took the Unified State Exam much earlier or did not take such exams at all, since in their time the Unified State Exam had not yet appeared in principle. Someone took exams in completely different subjects than he needs now in order to consciously enter a particular educational institution. Finally, someone could take the Unified State Exam in a core subject last year or the year before, but did not score well for admission and took a break for better preparation.

In all such cases, you will have to take the unified state exams again.

Unified State Exam after college

Receiving secondary vocational education on the basis of 9 grades is carried out with the simultaneous receipt of secondary general education. While studying at college, students simultaneously master the school curriculum and after completing the school curriculum, they have the right to take the Unified State Exam. Not all colleges have accreditation for the educational program of secondary general education.

If the college is accredited, then the application to take the Unified State Exam must be submitted to the college itself. If the college or technical school does not have such accreditation, the application must be submitted together with graduates of previous years - to application points determined by regional authorities.

To be admitted to the Unified State Exam, you must obtain and submit a certificate from the college confirming the completion of educational programs of secondary general education or the completion of educational programs of secondary general education in the current year.

It is worth keeping in mind that students have different options for passing the Unified State Exam and entering a university:

  • they can take the Unified State Exam after completing their school curriculum (while continuing to study in college),
  • they can also take the Unified State Exam after graduating from college and receiving a diploma of primary or secondary vocational education (together with other graduates of previous years),
  • After graduating from some colleges, you can enter a university without the Unified State Exam. We are talking about colleges at universities and colleges that have appropriate agreements with universities. As a rule, the possibility of admission without the Unified State Exam is determined by the university itself and this decision is reviewed annually, as is the list of colleges and other conditions for admission.

Foreign citizens

Graduates of foreign educational organizations must present original educational documents. The education document must be recognized in the Russian Federation as equivalent to secondary general education. More about .

Students of foreign educational organizations must submit a certificate confirming completion of educational programs of secondary general education in the current year.

Original documents drawn up in a foreign language are presented with a duly certified translation into Russian.

What to do if the application deadline is missed?

Everything is decided by the State Examination Committee, but only if there are good reasons.

After February 1, an application for participation in the Unified State Examination of students, graduates of previous years, persons studying in educational programs of secondary vocational education, as well as students receiving secondary general education in foreign educational organizations, is accepted by decision of the State Examination Committee only if the applicant has valid reasons (illness or other circumstances confirmed by documents) no later than two weeks before the start of the exams.

According to the law, a graduate of previous years can apply for testing in any region of Russia - regardless of where he is registered and where he completed his education. However, if you are in the same city where you are registered at your place of residence, you will most likely have to submit an application in accordance with your registration, even if you live or work on the other side of the city. However, options are possible: the exact regulations for the operation of registration points for graduates of past years are established by regional educational authorities and may vary slightly in different regions of Russia. That's why, if you plan to take exams at a place other than your place of registration, it is best to call the hotline for Unified State Exam issues in your region and find out where you have the right to submit documents.


Hotline numbers can be found on the official portal ege.edu.ru in the “information support” section. There you will also find links to regional websites dedicated to passing the Unified State Exam. It is on them that “verified” official information about the addresses of points where you can apply to take the Unified State Exam is posted - with contact numbers and opening hours. As a rule, applications are accepted on weekdays, two to three days a week at specially designated hours.

What documents are required to register for the Unified State Exam?

To submit an application you will need to present the following set of documents:


  • document on complete secondary education (original);

  • passport;

  • if in the interval between finishing school and passing the exams you changed your last name or first name - a document confirming this fact (marriage certificate or change of first or last name),

  • if secondary education was obtained in a foreign educational institution - a notarized translation of the certificate into Russian.

There is no need to make copies of documents: after the registration office employees enter all your data into the automated system, the originals will be returned to you.

What you need to know when applying for the Unified State Exam

By the time of your visit to the registration point for graduates of previous years, you must finally decide on a list of items that you plan to take - changing the “set” will be very difficult. While Russian language and mathematics are compulsory for school graduates, this rule does not apply to people who have already completed secondary education: you can only take those subjects that are required for admission to a university.


Decide will you write an essay. For eleventh-graders, obtaining a “pass” in an essay is an indispensable condition for admission to the exams, but graduates of previous years who take the Unified State Exam “of their own free will” are not required to do this - they receive “admission” automatically, based on the fact that they have a certificate. Therefore, it is better to clarify the question about the essay with the admissions committee of the university of your choice: whether its presence is mandatory, whether it can bring you additional points upon admission. If the answer to both questions is “no,” you can safely not include the essay in the list.


If you are planning to take the Unified State Exam in a foreign language– decide whether you will limit yourself to only the written part (which can bring up to 80 points), or whether you will also take the “speaking” part (an additional 20 points). The oral part of the exam is held on a different day, and if you are not faced with the task of gaining maximum points, you do not have to participate in it.


Select deadlines in which you want to take exams. Graduates of previous years have the opportunity to take exams either on the main dates (in May-June, simultaneously with schoolchildren) or in an early “wave” (March). Choose what is more convenient for you.

How to register for the Unified State Exam for graduates of previous years

The application process is quite simple, but you should not arrive at the registration point 10 minutes before the deadline, especially if you are applying in the last weeks before the deadline: you may have to wait in line for a while.


Documents are submitted in person. To register for exams:


  • you will have to fill out a consent to process personal data and enter it into the AIS (automatic identification system);

  • registration point employees will check your documents and enter your personal and passport data, as well as passport data into the system;

  • you will inform which subjects you plan to take and when, after which an application for taking the exam will be automatically generated indicating the subjects you have chosen and the dates of the exams;

  • you will check the printed application and, making sure that all data is correct, sign;

  • employees at the registration point will give you a copy of the application with a note about acceptance of documents, a memo for the Unified State Exam participant and will instruct you how and when you will need to appear to receive a pass for the exam.

How much does it cost to take the Unified State Exam for past graduates?

The Unified State Exam is held for all categories of participants, including graduates of previous years, regardless of how many subjects you decide to take. Therefore, the procedure for accepting documents does not imply the presentation of receipts or payment for registration services.


At the same time, in most regions, graduates of previous years can take part in “trial”, training exams, which take place in conditions as close as possible to reality, are assessed according to Unified State Exam standards and allow participants to gain additional preparation experience. This is a paid additional service offered by educational authorities - and you can use it if you wish. However, participation in such “rehearsals” is completely voluntary.
