Biology. Biology How are tasks in biology exam graded?

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.

Maths

Computer science

Social Studies

Foreign languages

Biology

Geography

Literature

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.

The demo version is intended in order to enable any exam participant and the general public to get an idea of ​​the structure of the examination work, the number and form of tasks, as well as their level of difficulty. The above criteria for assessing the performance of tasks with a detailed answer, included in the demo version of the examination work, will make it possible to get an idea of ​​the requirements for the completeness and correctness of recording a detailed answer. This information gives graduates the opportunity to strategize how to prepare for the biology exam.

Work instructions
The examination paper consists of two parts, including 32 tasks. Part 1 contains 28 tasks with a short answer, part 2 contains 4 tasks with a detailed answer.
The examination work in biology takes 3 hours (180 minutes).
Answers to tasks 1-22 are written in the form of one digit, which corresponds to the number of the correct answer. Write this figure in the answer field in the text of the work.
Answers to tasks 23-28 are written in the form of a sequence of numbers in the answer field in the text of the work.
For tasks 29-32, a detailed answer should be given.
The points received by you for completed tasks are summed up.
Try to complete as many tasks as possible and score the most points.

Characteristics of the structure and content of CMM
The work includes 32 tasks and consists of two parts.
Part 1 contains 28 tasks with a short answer: 22 tasks of a basic level of difficulty with an answer in the form of one digit corresponding to the number of the correct answer; 6 tasks of an increased level of complexity, of which 2 with the choice and recording of three correct answers out of six, 3 for establishing the correspondence of the elements of two information series (including the task for the inclusion of terms and concepts missing in the text, for the correlation of morphological signs of the organism or its individual organs with the proposed models according to a given algorithm), 1 to determine the sequence of biological processes, phenomena, objects.
Part 2 contains 4 tasks with a detailed answer, of which: 1 of an increased level of complexity for working with a text, involving the use of information from the text of contextual knowledge to answer the questions; the rest of the high level of complexity: 1 for the analysis of statistical data presented in tabular form; 2 on the application of biological knowledge for solving practical problems.
The distribution of the tasks of the examination work by parts and types of tasks, taking into account the maximum primary score of each part and the work as a whole, is given in Table 1.

The system for assessing the performance of individual tasks and examination work as a whole.
For the correct execution of each of tasks 1-22, 1 point is set.
Otherwise - 0 points.
For the correct fulfillment of each of the tasks 23-27 2 points are given.
For answers to tasks 23 and 24, 1 point is given if the answer contains any two numbers presented in the standard answer, and 0 points in all other cases. If the examinee indicates more characters in the answer than in the correct answer, then 1 point is reduced for each extra character (up to 0 points inclusive).
For the answer to task 25, 1 point is given if one mistake was made, and 0 points if two or more mistakes were made.
For answers to tasks 26 and 27, 1 point is given if on any one position of the answer the wrong symbol is written, which is presented in the standard of the answer, and 0 points in all other cases.

Tasks with detailed answers, which are checked by teachers in manual mode, are paid - 198 rubles. The verification period is from 1 to 3 days.

The description of the exam is taken from the official website of FIPI http://www.ctege.info/demoversii-oge-2016/demoversiya-oge-2016-po-biologii.html

There are a lot of professions related to biology. And if a graduate decided to devote his further life to medicine, psychology, pedagogy, food technology, pharmacology or agriculture, then an exam in biology at the end of a secondary school is mandatory for him. What will it be USE in biology 2017?

The state exam in biology in 2017 will be different from the exams of previous years. Not many changes have been made, but they are significant.

A new, more optimized structure of the examination work is proposed. Reduced the number of tasks to 28, compared to 40 in 2016. The maximum number of primary points for all work has been reduced, now it is 59 points, instead of 60 last year. But the amount of time to complete the examination work has been increased to 210 minutes, instead of 180.

The exam will no longer have single-correct-answer questions. In this regard, the probability of guessing is minimized. After all, before it was possible to connect intuition, pass the threshold and score the minimum allowable number of points. Now intuition is not our helper, we need knowledge. You will have to prepare carefully and start as early as possible. But there is good news as well. The difficulty of the tasks has not changed, and the time to complete them has increased by 30 minutes.

The exam paper of the USE in biology 2017 contains 28 tasks, consists of two parts, each of which has its own level of complexity and format.

First part of the exam

The first part consists of 21 tasks with a short answer. Moreover, the answers will need to be written in the form of words or phrases, numbers or a sequence of numbers, without spaces and separators.

The first part includes tasks of two levels of difficulty: 10 - basic level and 11 - advanced.

This format is the first innovation and a good reason for passing the demo version of the exam in biology 2017.

The second innovation in the content of the tasks. The graduate will need:

  • analyze information in graphical or tabular form (1 task)
  • supplement the missing information in the diagram and table (2 tasks)
  • establish the sequence of systematic taxa, biological objects, phenomena, processes (3 tasks)
  • solve biological problems in cytology and genetics (2 problems)
  • perform tasks with multiple choice (7 tasks) and establish correspondences (6 tasks) with or without a picture

So, 21 tasks of a new type have significant differences and allow you to more accurately assess the knowledge of the material covered, and also require serious preparation.

Second part of the exam (increased difficulty)

The second part of the USE in biology 2017 is aimed at graduates with a high level of knowledge in the subject, or rather, at identifying them. There won't be any changes here. As in 2016, there will be 7 tasks, formed by types of educational activities and in accordance with the topics of the subject. Graduates write the answers to them independently in expanded form. There are also no changes in terms of difficulty: 1 task of the advanced level and 6 of the higher level.

In the second part, the graduate must independently explain and substantiate biological phenomena and processes, be able to analyze, systematize and integrate knowledge, and confirm the theory with practice. And all this should be correctly formulated in a detailed answer.

How is it assessed

The primary maximum number of points for the state exam in 2017 changed, but not significantly.

For completing 10 tasks of the basic level of difficulty, 17 points are given, for 12 tasks of an advanced level - 24 points, for 6 tasks of a high level - 18. In total - 59 points. for passing the exam in biology will be 36 points.

What you need to know

The exam involves testing the knowledge of the subject in full. And if something is missed, even for a good reason, this fact is not taken into account on the exam. Therefore, it is advisable for a future graduate to start preparing for already in September in order to have time to fill in all the gaps.

Biology knowledge testing will be carried out in the following sections:

  • Biology as a Science. Methods of scientific knowledge
  • Cell as a biological system
  • The organism as a biological system
  • System and diversity of the biological world
  • The human body and its health
  • The evolution of living nature
  • Ecosystems and their inherent patterns

Use this list to test yourself and pull up overlooked topics.

What you need to be able to

At the exam in biology, it is also important to show your skills and abilities to use the knowledge gained. A graduate must correctly apply terminology, identify biological objects not only by description, but also by drawing. When explaining biological processes, a significant advantage will have those who use not only the word, but also tables, graphs, diagrams. Solve problems, draw conclusions and apply theoretical knowledge in practice, in everyday life.

Every year FIPI publishes an updated demo version of the Unified State Exam in Biology. A graduate has the opportunity to calmly deal with instructions, assignments, rules of conduct, assessment criteria, practically pass all stages of the exam. Of course, the demo version is not an exact copy of the USE, but, nevertheless, it allows the student to feel calmer and more confident when everything is going on for real.

In preparation for the exam in biology, each graduate must take into account his personal, individual characteristics. Everyone knows their strengths and weaknesses, memory capabilities, performance. Those who have not yet figured out this can turn to their parents and teachers for help. It is worth talking to those who have already taken the exam and get additional information first-hand. In a word, all the methods are good for preparation, the main thing is not to leave everything for May, not to hope for "maybe it will carry over", but to start systematically practicing right now.

Biology is one of the subjects that the graduate chooses on the exam himself. And if he makes a choice in favor of biology, then this science is to his liking. Therefore, all worries and worries must be left outside the door so as not to interfere. And take with you composure, confidence, remember everything and get the highest score.
