At the end of May, 11th grade graduates will face a rather difficult test - Unified State Exam in Russian language 2017... This exam is considered compulsory, the same as mathematics, so everyone, without exception, will have to take it. Today, the main task for eleventh graders is timely preparation for the test so that the certificate is not spoiled by a bad grade. In addition, a high score for the Unified State Exam in the Russian language opens the doors for the future applicant to the most prestigious universities in the country.

Most students, assuming that tests in the Russian language are not as difficult as mathematics or physics, do not prepare for the subject at all and, as a result, receive insufficiently high scores. It must be remembered that the exam affects not only the materials for grade 11, but also topics from previous years of study. In addition, the USE includes tasks that require extraordinary thinking. As you can see, the Russian language is not such a simple subject, and considering the future, projected for 2017, it will become even more difficult.

What should you prepare for?

The fact that a number of innovations await tests in the Russian language has been said more than once. Over the years, scientists and teachers have developed an optimal knowledge test system that could reflect the real knowledge of students. In 2017, it is planned to introduce the oral part in the exam in the Russian language. This has already been stated by Lyudmila Verbitskaya (head of the Russian Academy of Education).

At this stage, all the necessary transformations have already been developed. It remains only to understand how to use them rationally in this.

Until 2017, all pupils of general education schools passed the Russian language in writing. The test form, which was in the forms, of course, is a good thing, but it is not able to reflect the real knowledge of graduates, because they can simply guess the answer. But what about punctuation or spelling? Tests are not able to thoroughly show the student's literacy.

The oral exam will help you identify gaps in knowledge, the ability to accurately express your thoughts, put together sentences from words and lead a narrative that the examiners can understand.

In our time, the correct formulation of speech is extremely important, especially in sectors of the economy. Any leader should be able to formulate tasks for subordinates, be able to express thoughts and convey their ideas to others. Just for this, every student must learn spelling, as well as learn the basics of public speaking.

The oral block is far from all the changes that await the Russian language exam. In the coming 2017, officials intend to introduce a grading system for the control essay. Recall that at the moment for the manifestation of creative abilities and the ability to logically build their own thoughts, the student received simply "credit" or "failure".

Lyudmila Verbitskaya considers this an unfair approach, especially for those students who can show their level of knowledge through writing. Only the introduction of a clear grading scale will help to clearly recognize the student's level of preparedness and form a clear objective view of the exam.

Dates of the

Early exams will begin on May 25, 2017. It is during this period that eleventh graders will be able to pass the Russian language. The main tests are scheduled for May 30. Retake For those who “failed” the subject or wish to improve their grade, there will be an opportunity to pass the re-examination on June 27. The reserve days are designated April 15 and September 24.

Conducting the Unified State Exam in Russian

To cope with all the tasks, students are given an hour. In the allotted time, it is necessary to solve all two blocks, which include 24 questions. The first block consists of questions that must be answered in digital or verbal form. On the second form, students must write an essay on a given topic.

Rating scale

Back in 2015, it was possible to get "pass / fail" for this test. Since 2016, points have appeared, the amount of which depended on the number of correct answers. From the table below, you can find out the exact number of points that can be obtained for a particular question.

The second part of the exam requires the student to be creative and fluent in Russian. Note that essays are graded in a special way, so one cannot surprise an examiner with grammar alone.

For a correctly done second part of the exam, a student can earn 25 points. In general, for two blocks the graduate will earn 57 points, to which points are added on other criteria. Considering that the knowledge assessment system is 100-point, in order to understand what grade the student earned, it is enough to refer to this scheme:

• 0 - 24 - "two"
• 25 - 57 - "three"
• 58 - 71 - "four"
• from 72 - "five"

Note that the minimum number of points for admission to a university is only 36 points, but to obtain a certificate, it is enough to score 24 points.

Materials for preparing for the exam in the Russian language

Nowadays, a lot of literature is published annually, which helps future graduates to prepare for the exam. In addition, a lot of additional materials are provided for general access on the FIPI official website, namely:

1. Demo version of the exam
2. Quest Forms
3. Training compilations

(2) Then spring came, and one morning, after a warm night rain, something green, smoky, indefinite peeped in the window.

(3) Every spring the same thing is repeated, and every time it is like a miracle, a miracle of renewal, and one cannot get used to it. (4) I stood and looked for a long time and could not get enough of it. (5) Now it was as if someone alive had settled outside the window, made a noise and suddenly fell silent, and in the wind, gently and meekly tapped on the window.

(6) He lived with all his leaves, thousands of thousands of leaves, exposing them to the sun, moon, wind, rain. (7) He enjoyed life with might and main, every minute, every second of his life. (8) And I, reflecting on my life, would like to learn from him this constant joy in freedom under heaven.

(9) Birds flew on its branches, they whistled, sang their short city songs, maybe the poplar told them about me, and they looked out the window and grinned.

(10) What a long wonderful summer it was in that first year of life in a new room, with a living poplar at the very window, what endless sunsets, and bright nights, and light dreams were! (11) Only sometimes I suddenly dreamed that for some reason I had lost a new room and again lived in an old, dark and dreary one, with a bare light bulb on a long cord. (12) But I woke up, and the poplar looked into a room with clean, fresh walls, and the pre-dawn green noise merged with the feeling of a happy awakening. (13) Then autumn came, the leaves turned yellow, and the room became quiet, sad.

(14) Autumn showers and storms began, at night the poplar creaked, groaned, beat its branches against the wall, as if asking for protection from the weather. (15) Gradually leaves flew from its upper branches, and then from the lower ones. (16) Leaves streamed in streams, covering the balcony, and some stuck to the glass and looked in horror into the room, expecting something.

(17) And now not a single leaf remained on the poplar, it stood naked, black, as if burnt, and against the background of the blue sky every black twig, every vein was visible, it was solemnly quiet and sad in nature, the unheating sun shone on summer. (18) And, as always, I remembered my childhood and thought: who are you? (19) What is the meaning of life? (20) Then again there was spring, and everything was all over again, and life seemed endless.

(21) But one morning I heard a sound under the window, as if my poplar were screeching. (22) I rushed to the window. (23) Below, there were scrapers and road rollers that pounded a new street, and a worker was cutting down a poplar in the middle of the road with an electric saw.

(24) And from above, I saw a tremor go through his entire green body, he staggered, thought for a moment and collapsed onto a new street, blocking it in full width with rustling green collapsing foliage.

(25) And the red-brick, boring, bare wall of the house on the other side of the street opened to me, and since then I see only it and a piece of the sky.

(26) I often remember my poplar. (27) And it still seems that he did not disappear from the ground, but grows somewhere in the forest, in a clearing, rustling with all the leaves.

Text information

The Unified State Exam in Russian is a compulsory exam. In total, 616 590 people took part in the main period of the USE in the Russian language in 2017 (in 2016 - 658 392 people; in 2015 - 672 407 people).

The results of the USE in the Russian language in 2017 are generally comparable with the results of the USE of previous years.

On the official website of the FIPI in the section "Analytical and methodological materials" there are published "Methodological recommendations for teachers, prepared on the basis of the analysis of typical mistakes of the participants of the exam in 2017", it is here that you can find information about what is the average USE score in the Russian language was in 2017.

Download the document.

Table 1

Average USE score in Russian 2015 - 2017

The share of examinees who scored 100 points based on the exam results remained unchanged compared to 2016 - 0.5%. The share of high-scorers also remains stable: 25.5% in 2016 and 25% in 2017.

In 2017, the proportion of graduates who did not overcome the minimum threshold (who did not receive the minimum (24) test score) decreased by 0.5%: from 0.99% (2016) to 0.54% (2017). The main reasons for the decrease in the share of such participants in the Russian language can be attributed to the successful implementation of the Rosobrnadzor system of measures to improve the quality of teaching the Russian language in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Data on changes in the number and proportion of 100-point students in 2015–2017. are given in table. 2.

table 2

Statistics on the performance of the work as a whole and of individual tasks allows us to identify the main problems in the preparation of examinees in the Russian language. As in previous years, the sections of the course related to the formation of communicative competence remain insufficiently mastered. Insufficiently developed skills of analytical work with word and text, lack of sufficient practice in analyzing linguistic phenomena also affect the quality of writing an essay-reasoning. Graduates experience the greatest difficulties when applying punctuation and spelling norms in writing.

The site "Teach in School" presents an interesting article Average USE score 2017 in Russian, based on other data from the Internet.

(6) I am sure: both lists include the problem of human-machine interaction, and in connection with it, the problem of morality, morality, which organically follows from such interaction.

(7) The history of science fiction is the history of ideas that changed the world, but which were initially ridiculed and rejected. (8) Let me explain this idea.

(9) If thirty years ago, in one of my stories, I wrote that soon we would be surrounded by polluted air, poisoned water, deadly road traffic, you would exclaim:

(10) - Vile Fiction! (11) Pure fantasy!

(12) Now take a look around! (13) This time has come!

(14) If I wrote that the time would come and with the help of credit checks people would borrow from "tomorrow" in order to live today, you would snort in indignation:

(15) - Nonsense and lies! (16) Never!

(17) If I wrote about a device that transmits images through the air and thereby influences the mindset of humanity, I would be thrown out the door. (18) If I wrote about people landing on the moon one day, how would you react? (19) I will tell you how they treated those who tried to mention this - they just laughed at them. (20) Laughed in 1930, 1940, 1950. (21) They continued to laugh until the first artificial Earth satellite was launched in October 1957.

(22) A man became convinced that the predictions of science fiction came true only when he saw small metal stars traveling across the sky from west to east and inscribing new turns in the bizarre pattern of the New Time.

(23) Who would have believed me if I wrote in 1920 that the day is not far off when one madman and his armored "bugs" will nullify the theory of long-term defense lines?

(24) It was only when the fascist tanks appeared in France that everyone believed it.

(25) Hitler's tanks and armored vehicles razed Western Europe to the ground in a matter of weeks. (26) And only devices described in science fiction literature and called airplanes, not yet invented in 1900, still primitive in 1939, helped England to defend its airspace.

(27) This is only part of the list, in which one can count a thousand items.

(28) Several decades ago, radio, television, automobiles, and the hydrogen bomb did not exist. (29) The air was clean.

(30) All the achievements of science and technology that have brought benefit or harm to humanity over the past fifty years were born long before that in the mind of a science fiction writer.

(31) These are serious times. (32) And science fiction is especially needed now because it makes attempts to study each new machine long before it appears and begins to destroy or rebuild us and the world around us.

(33) Now, when we have almost completely reaped the harvest of technical innovations, we need to develop some norms of the relationship between man and technology, so as not to be inconsistent in the face of the future.

(34) Plato told us about his dream state. (35) Science fiction writers have subsequently also depicted the states of steel, electricity and nuclear energy that will make us different. (36) In this particular world of the solar system lost in space, we are beings who are trying to get to know and understand ourselves better, beings who are trying to create machines that have our minds, are able to see, hear, feel the world better than us and - God willing - more kind. (37) This would extend the life of our planet by another two billion years if we achieve harmonious coexistence with the machines we have created.

(38) Can you name a greater goal than this?

(By R. Bradbury)
