Each graduate who wants to become a student of one of the universities of the Russian Federation in 2018 has a difficult task - to successfully pass the Unified State Exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. Most 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed some light on important points.

In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the exam will not be significantly changed. This means that for graduates, the 100-point grading system for final tests will also be relevant.

How is it going?

During the examination of the examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is credited with the so-called "primary points", which upon completion of the examination of the work are summed up and transferred to the "test score", which is indicated in the USE certificate.

Important! Since 2009, the scale of transferring the primary and test scores of the USE into the traditional school five-point grades has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate.

Verification of work is carried out in two ways:

• automatically (using special programs and technical means);
• manually (the correctness of the detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).

It is quite difficult to dispute the result of an automatic check. If, when filling out the answer table, the basic rules were not followed, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself will be to blame for this, who has not followed a number of mandatory rules.

If controversial points arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.

When to expect results?

The following time frames apply by law:

• data processing (on compulsory subjects) in the RSCI should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
• for data processing (optional subjects), the RCRO is given 4 days;
• verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 business days;
• approval of the results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
• up to 3 days for sending the results to the USE participants.

In practice, it can take from 8 to 14 days from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result.

Converting USE scores into grades

Despite the fact that officially in 2018 the scale for converting points in USE subjects into a five-point assessment is not used, many still want to interpret their result in a more familiar "school" system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

Table for converting test scores of the OGE into grades

The second method is a little easier and more convenient than searching for the required values ​​in the cells of a huge table. It is enough just to select a subject (mathematics, Russian, chemistry, physics, history, English, social studies ... and other subjects), enter the data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.

We suggest trying how simple and convenient it is to use in practice online calculators of the USE score and its translation into a 5-point grade.

Internet systems for applicants

The 2017-2018 academic year is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for translating primary points showed that the USE result was in a fairly good range ... But is this enough to enter the desired university?

Assess your real chances of joining based on test scores and the university's minimum passing threshold.

Important! The minimum passing score is formed by the university itself. It will directly depend on the points of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score will be.

Often, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget at TOP faculties. Chances to see their surname in the lists of those who entered such directions are only for the prize-winners of the Olympiads, who give significant additional points.

In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the threshold of entrance points for various specialties will be:

1. Ucheba.ru
2. Apply online
3. Higher School of Economics calculator
4. Postyplenie.ru
5. Typical applicant

Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.

Preparations for the upcoming USE 2019 are already in full swing in schools, and future graduates and parents are worried about how all the subjects of the Unified State Exam are assessed, what minimum and passing scores are set this year, and what result in exams can be considered satisfactory or good ...

Information on how the examination papers are assessed, as well as up-to-date tables for transferring points for certain subjects, will help navigate the difficult rules of the exam and optimally allocate time between tasks in the process of performing work.

Methods for evaluating the work of the 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 they do not plan significant changes in the structure of KIMs and the norms for evaluating the work of the OGE and the Unified State Exam. As in the previous academic year, the 2019 exam papers will be checked in two ways:

1. Test blocks, completing the tasks of 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. Tasks with detailed answers will be checked by experts. Each work will be assessed according to uniform established criteria by two independent experts. In the event of a significant discrepancy between the points set, a third expert may be involved in the check, whose opinion will be decisive.

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

• test scores;
• primary scores;
• attestation points;
• minimum test scores;
• minimum passing scores.

Let's figure out what all this means.

Test score

All Russian graduates know that the best USE score in any subject is 100 points! Stobalnik lists are adorned with news feeds every year during the introductory campaigns. To obtain a certificate for the exam in 2019, it is enough to score the minimum scores (corresponding to the grade "3") in all subjects selected for delivery.

But, few people ask the question of how the test points are calculated, which will subsequently be put on the certificate of the participant of the Unified State Exam, and how you can compare the points earned on the exam in 2019 with the school grade.

So, let's start from the very beginning - with the initial check of the examination paper and, accordingly, the initial points.

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 tasks of the CMM. It is worth noting that the primary scores for different subjects differ significantly. Details about the principle of calculating the primary point can be found in the specifications for a particular subject, which FIPI publishes annually on its official website.

So, for the 2019 exam, the following boundaries of primary points have been established:

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

Certification score

The concept of a certification score exists for the compulsory USE subjects. Until the threats to introduce history and a foreign language into the list of disciplines that must be passed are not implemented, the attestation score is separately calculated only for the Russian language and mathematics.

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

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

As you can see, for these two subjects, the certification score is even below the minimum primary. For other disciplines, certification is scored along the border of the officially established minimum test score.

Of course, such a level of training will not allow a graduate to enter a quoted university in Russia. The minimum thresholds are relevant for those who do not plan to compete for places in universities and will be happy that they will receive a certificate at all.

If the goal is higher education, it is necessary to focus on completely different parameters:

1. Minimum passing grade in the subject.
2. The minimum admission threshold in the university of interest.

Minimum passing score

It is quite natural that with an assessment corresponding to the boundaries of the "troika", there are very few prospects for entering a university. If we talk about joining Russian universities on the budget, which, naturally, all graduates strive for, then the minimum limit of the quoted USE result is within 65 out of a possible 100 test points.

Having typed 65-75 points in the subjects necessary for admission, you can try to enter the struggle for a budget place in one of the small regional universities. If your goal is to study in the capital, then on the 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 necessary subjects on the Unified State Exam 2019 will allow you to become a student of such metropolitan universities.

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

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

Test scores and score

Officially, there is no concept of "Transferring the test score of the exam into the assessment", since it is the test score that is included in the certificate and it is also taken into account during the admission campaign. But, students, their parents and teachers are often interested in what school result the points earned on the USE correspond to - for this in 2019, the following approximate table of correspondence between points and grades will be used:

Now you know what minimum points you can focus on, and what results you need to strive for while preparing for the 2019 USE. 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.

The number of participants in the Unified State Exam in Physics in 2018 (main day) was 150,650 people, including 99.1% of this year's graduates. The number of exam participants is comparable to the previous year (155,281 people), but lower than the number in 2016 (167,472 people). In percentage terms, the number of USE participants in physics was 23% of the total number of graduates, which is slightly lower than last year. A slight decrease in the number of those taking the exam in physics may be due to an increase in universities that accept computer science as an entrance test.

The largest number of participants in the Unified State Exam in physics is noted in Moscow (10 668), Moscow Region (6546), St. Petersburg (5652), Republic of Bashkortostan (5271) and Krasnodar Territory (5060).

The average USE score in physics in 2018 was 53.22, which is comparable to last year's indicator (53.16 test points). The maximum test score was scored by 269 exam participants from 44 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in the previous year there were 278 people with 100 points. The minimum USE score in physics in 2018, as in 2017, was 36 tb., But in the primary points this was 11 points, compared with 9 primary points in the previous year. The share of exam participants who did not exceed the minimum score in 2018 was 5.9%, which is slightly higher than those who did not reach the minimum score in 2017 (3.79%).

In comparison with the two previous years, the share of poorly trained participants has slightly increased (21-40 tb.). The share of high-scorers (61-100 tb) increased, reaching the maximum values ​​in three years. This allows us to speak of an increase in differentiation in the training of graduates and an increase in the quality of training of students studying a specialized course in physics.

In 2018, the share of exam participants who scored 81-100 points was 5.61%, which is higher than in 2017 (4.94%). For the USE in physics, the range from 61 to 100 test points is significant, which demonstrates the readiness of graduates to successfully continue their education in universities. This year, this group of graduates has increased in comparison with the previous year and amounted to 24.22%.

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

Our website contains about 3,000 tasks to prepare for the exam in physics in 2019. The general outline of the examination work is presented below.

Designation of the level of difficulty of the task: B - basic, P - increased, 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.

After checking the USE assignments in the Russian language, a primary score is given for their completion: from 0 to 57. Each assignment is evaluated by a certain number of points: the more difficult the assignment, the more points you can get for it. For the correct completion of tasks in the exam in the Russian language, from 1 to 5 points are given, depending on the complexity of the task. In this case, for an essay, you can get from 0 to 24 points.

After that, the primary score is converted into a test score, which is indicated in the USE certificate. It is this point that is used for admission to higher educational institutions. Transfer of Unified State Exam points carried out using a special scale of points.

Also, according to the score for the exam, you can determine the approximate mark on a five-point scale that a student would receive for completing tasks in the Russian language on the exam.

Below is the scale for translating USE points in Russian: Primary scores, test scores and a rough estimate.

Unified State Exam points translation scale: Russian

The minimum test score for admission to higher educational institutions in the Russian language is 36.
