If I had eight hours to cut down a tree
I would spend six hours sharpening the ax.

There is an exam every spring. And if this year you are among the lucky ones who pass the OGE or the Unified State Exam, then it is better to prepare for the test at 100%.

What the stages of preparation for the exam or exam look like:

Today we will talk about the need for a preliminary rehearsal of the Unified State Exam and the OGE in conditions as close as possible to real ones.
During preparation for the USE / OGE, a high school student often turns to online tests and demo versions of the USE / OGE of past years in order to test their knowledge and practice. This is a necessary intermediate control, with the help of which you can understand how effective the preparation is.

Why do you need a rehearsal exam or exam?

The more online tests you pass, the better. However, at the end (and better during) preparation, it is worth trying yourself in the real USE or OGE procedure. The "real" exam procedure is carried out in accordance with all the rules of the exam / exam and fully simulates the process of passing:
1. At the rehearsal of the Unified State Exam / OGE, the original versions of the CMM (control measuring materials) are used to prepare for the passing of the Unified State Exam / OGE.
2. The applicant takes the exam in an unfamiliar place, at a given time.
3. The formal procedure is completely imitated: opening envelopes, paper forms of answers, bans on conversations and mobile phones, etc.

Rehearsal testing allows you to:

• Learn the formal side of the exam and get used to it
  There are many little things in the exam procedure that you need to be prepared for in advance: fill out the answer forms accurately, do not forget your passport, pen, calculator, do not be late for the exam, find the right audience, know the procedure and reasons for leaving the exam, feel the time limits. These formal little things are important not only to learn, but also to get used to them so that during real centralized testing nothing distracts you from your main goal - getting a high score.
• Check the level of knowledge in the subject
  Rehearsal testing is an objective measure of how well you are prepared for a particular subject. Exam rehearsal allows you to adjust the preparation process for it. After analyzing the results, you can understand what you need to focus on. Perhaps you need to start studying new material, perhaps it is better to repeat what you have passed, or perhaps you know everything, but you do not always carefully fill out the forms, in this case it is necessary to solve time tests at home with the correct filling of the answer forms. If the results of the mock exam are unexpectedly low, then at an early stage you can change the list of electives and take those with higher results.
• Practice testing technology
  The applicant has a limited amount of time and several different types of assignments at the disposal of the applicant. To pass the exam successfully, you need to be able to allocate valuable time between simple and complex tasks, otherwise some of the tasks will remain intact by the end of testing. Including the applicant is given drafts and he is allowed to take, for example, a calculator, a ruler, a protractor for some objects. All of these resources must also be used correctly in order to achieve maximum results.
• Prepare mentally
  Psychological preparation is probably the most important function of the practice exam. Dealing with stress once makes it less scary the next time. And if you pass the rehearsal testing procedure several times, then you will feel like a fish in water on the main exam. The mock exam will teach you not to be distracted during the test on your deskmates, to constant attention from observers and will teach you not to give in to excitement because of the unusual situation and unfamiliar place. During the All-Russian Unified State Exam and OGE, security measures are strengthened throughout the country: police with dogs, CCTV cameras, Rosbornnadzor inspection. After the rehearsal USE / OGE, even with such stress, it will be much easier for a high school student to cope.

How to take a trial exam / exam?

You need to go to the trial USE / OGE the way you go to the centralized exam, that is, as "to the last battle": repeat the material, sleep, eat, psychologically tune in correctly. You shouldn't try to artificially improve your rehearsal exam results by using different devices, cheat sheets, and conversations with neighbors. During the centralized exam / exam, this can turn into trouble for you. And it is also important not to plan other things for this day, as you would do on the day of the main exam / exam.
That is, use trial testing of the USE / OGE at 100%. Get the cleanest possible result so that you can then analyze it with the teacher and use it to improve your training.

When is it better to take the rehearsal exam / exam?

A good time for a trial USE and OGE is from February to April, when the main school curriculum has almost been completed and the results are most objective, but there is still time to prepare and correct mistakes.

However, the best option is to take the mock exam several times over the course of a year (or even a year and a half). This is the opinion of teachers of schools and universities, as well as tutors for the Unified State Exam / OGE. Why:

• The exam becomes habitual, so the likelihood of a bad score due to incorrect completion of forms or excessive excitement is reduced to zero.
• According to tutors who have vast experience in preparing for the USE / OGE, each rehearsal of the USE / OGE increases the result on the main exam by 5-10 points.

Since we published the criteria for presentation and writing in the relevant sections, it remains to publish only the criteria for assessing literacy and notes from the demo version of the OGE 2016.

Literacy Assessment Criteria

Notes (edit)

When assessing literacy (GK1 – GK4), the volume of presentation and essay should be taken into account.
The standards indicated in the table are used to check and evaluate the presentation and essay, the total volume of which is 140 or more words.
If the total volume of the essay and presentation is 70-139 words, then for each of the criteria GK1-GK4 no more than 1 point is given:
ГК1 - 1 point is given if there are no spelling errors or one blunder was made;
ГК2 - 1 point is given if there are no punctuation errors or one blunder is made;
ГК3 - 1 point is given if there are no grammatical errors;
ГК4 - 1 point is given if there are no speech errors.
If the presentation and the essay as a whole contains less than 70 words, then such work according to the criteria of GK1-GK4 is estimated at zero points. If the student has completed only one type of creative work (or
presentation, or essay), then the assessment according to the criteria of GK1-GK4 is also carried out in accordance with the amount of work:
- if there are at least 140 words in the work, then literacy is assessed according to the above table;
- if there are 70–139 words in the work, then no more than 1 point is given for each of the criteria ГК1 – ГК4 (see above);
- if there are less than 70 words in the work, then such work according to the criteria of ГК1 – ГК4 is assessed with zero points.
Maximum points that an examinee can receive for completing all examination work, - 39 .

In accordance with the Procedure for conducting state final certification for educational programs of basic general education (order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated December 25, 2013 No. 1394, registered by the Ministry of Justice of Russia on February 03, 2014 No. 31206) “48. The examination papers are checked by two experts. Based on the results of the check, the experts independently set points for each answer to the tasks of the examination work ... In the event of a significant discrepancy in the points given by two experts, a third check is assigned. Significant discrepancy in points
defined in the assessment criteria for the relevant academic subject. The third expert is appointed by the chairman of the subject committee from among experts who have not previously checked the examination paper. The third expert is provided with information about the points given by the experts who previously checked the student's examination work. The scores given by the third expert are final. "
The discrepancy of 10 or more points given by two experts for completing tasks 1 and 15 is considered significant (points are summed up for all positions (criteria) for assessing the task
each expert: IK1 – IK3, S1K1 – S1K4, S2K1 – S2K4, S3K1 – S3K4, GK1– GK4, FC1). In this case, the third expert rechecks items 1 and 15 for all assessment positions. For the execution of the examination work, a mark is set on a five-point scale.
Mark "2" is given if the student scored no more than 14 points (from 0 to 14) for completing all parts of the examination work.
The mark "3" is given if the student scored at least 15 and not more than 24 points (from 15 to 24) for completing all parts of the examination work.
The mark "4" is given if the student scored at least 25 and not more than 33 points (from 25 to 33) for completing all parts of the examination work. In this case, the student must score at least 4 points for literacy (criteria GK1-GK4). If the student scored less than 4 points according to the criteria ГК1-ГК4, the mark "3" is set.
The mark "5" is given if the student scored at least 34 and not more than 39 points (from 34 to 39) for completing all parts of the examination work. In this case, the student must score at least 6 points for literacy (criteria ГК1-ГК4). If the student scored less than 6 points according to the criteria ГК1-ГК4, the mark "4" is set.

How is the OGE in the Russian language? What do experts face when reviewing student work? What is the uniqueness and originality of children's work, and what mistakes do ninth-graders most often make in their work? The press service of the Moscow Center for the Quality of Education was told about all this by Nadezhda Nefedova, Chairperson of the Regional Subject Commission GIA-9 on the Russian language.

About cooperation with MCCO:

The Russian language exam in the GIA-9 format is being held for the eighth year. And all this long and difficult path of approbation of a new form of state final certification for the course of basic school and its transfer to the regular mode, the subject commission went along with our colleagues from the Moscow Center for the Quality of Education. From the first day, MCCO has been organizing this large-scale and very responsible work, takes on the complex and very voluminous work of preparing and conducting the verification process by our subject commission of tasks with a detailed answer in the structure of control measuring materials GIA-9 in the main and additional periods of the final certification.

The regional subject commission for the Russian language GIA-9 is one of the most numerous in Moscow. When we started this work in 2009, there were 700 of us. In recent years, the number of experts has been from 620 to 650 people, as, for example, this year, 2016. And every year, the staff of the Moscow Center for the Quality of Education faces a serious task: how to place our commission during the main period of checking graduates' examination papers? There were years when we worked in two shifts: from 9.00 to 15.00 and from 15.00 to 21.00. Our working day lasted from 8.00 to 23.00. The last two years have become easier: experts work in one shift.

In addition, MCCO has always strived to create quite comfortable conditions for the work of experts: our fellow experts could always have a cup of tea, coffee, and have a snack. So over the entire period of our work, we have developed a workable team of like-minded people: employees of the Moscow Center for the Quality of Education, the Moscow Institute of Open Education and the Russian language teachers in Moscow schools. We have always set ourselves only one task - to qualitatively and on time check the examinations of graduates, objectively assess their success over the previous nine years of study and thereby help the children see their prospects.

On the features of the OGE in the Russian language and the difficulties of the expert's work:

In the control measuring materials in the Russian language GIA-9 in the OGE format, not one task with a detailed answer is presented, as, for example, in the exam in the Russian language, but two creative tasks. First, the children write a concise presentation based on the text they listened to (task 1). The second part is "test". And the third part (task 15) is again a task with a detailed answer, creative work, composition. Moreover, the themes of the essay in the third part are variable in nature: three formulations of the topics are offered, and the student chooses one of them.

The approaches to the wording are also different. The first is linguistic in nature, requires the student to understand the utterances of linguists about language, the ability to explain the meaning of the utterance, and give examples from the text. The second topic is closer to the experience gained in literature lessons. The children are offered the final phrase of the text, and they must interpret its meaning based on understanding the content of the entire text, taking into account the author's position. This is a different direction of work.

And finally, the third topic. To a greater extent, it is of a worldview character. The student is invited to explain the lexical meaning of one of the mental concepts, for example: "love", "friendship", "mercy", "humanity", "compassion", which form the basis of a person's system of values ​​about the world and life. The guys, based on their experience, explain the meaning of the word, give examples based on the text they have read, examples from their life experience.

The student is interested in working with such materials. During the exam, the nature of the work changes, and the student can express himself in different areas of creative activity. But it is not easy for an expert: in order to check the work, he must know the specifics of each type of activity and the criteria for evaluating different tasks, taking into account the peculiarities of their implementation. The package of materials for checking the works of an expert contains 19 different texts (as it was in 2015), 18 linguistic quotes, 18 fragments for interpretation and at least five words for interpreting the meaning, but on the basis of 18 different texts again. The expert must comprehend all this meaningfully, correlate with the requirements of the formulation of the assignment, the criteria and conditions for assessing the examination work.

Awareness of the importance of the expert's work helps: not only to check and evaluate the work, but also to help the student realize how successful he is in mastering the program for the ninth grade course, what are his prospects. In addition, there is a student behind every job. And not seeing the student, but reading his work, we are imbued with the meaning of his reasoning and his emotions. How not to respond, for example, to such a force of conviction of a graduate (graduate): “What motivates a person in a war? Rage? No. Fighting impulse? No. Conscience? No! Patriotism!!!".

About the features of the work:

We work with the language and see a variety of graduates' work in terms of language proficiency. There are vivid professional impressions. There are examination papers, behind which we see the enormous work of students, their parents and teachers in preparation for the exam. The works are distinguished by their maturity in the perception of life, the individuality of the handwriting, the depth of the content of the material. Last year, some guys, having chosen task 15.3, wrote an essay about friendship, one of them contained wonderful words: “A true friend is worth its weight in gold. We must not only look for good friends, but also be such. "

But there is also what we call the "quirks of the language" of our schoolchildren. Here are some examples:

"Each of us has a detail that makes us human."

"Conscience is something that cannot be passed on to the shoulders of another."

"... signs of dismemberment ..."

Laughing, and this is a good relaxation during the difficult work of an expert!

About typical mistakes on the exam:

The results of the exam depend both on the level of mastering the school course in the Russian language, and on the level of language development of the graduates of the basic school. Therefore, we consider the achievements of ninth grade students as intermediate: ahead of the years of study and years of growing up - all this will give adolescents an opportunity to improve in language and speech.

A particular problem that we often face when checking school papers is a large number of grammatical and speech errors. They indicate that the children have not mastered the grammatical and speech norms of the modern language well enough, the formation of which is largely influenced by the nature of oral and written speech of the immediate environment and family in the first place.

The student's own experience of speech practice is also extremely important. This experience is quite specific in the selection of vocabulary, the structure of speech, if only because adolescents actively use youth slang with its vocabulary, speech patterns, and grammatical features. When a student creates a text on the exam, he relies heavily on his inner speech. And it is not always possible to correlate it with the speech or grammatical norm of the modern language. It can be difficult for children to switch from informal communication to literary speech. Often in their work there is a mixture of levels and styles of language.

Of course, any native speaker is under pressure from modern language practice. But adolescents are especially susceptible to this: there is a process of active development of the world around them, and through language in the first place. For example, in the language, as in many other areas of life, there is the concept of "fashion", "trend". They are set, among other things, by journalism as an influential area in working with language, with the development of language. But the frequency of the use of a word and (or) turnover in the speech of others does not mean that they have become a literary norm. The specifics of the expert's work when checking examination papers is precisely connected with the establishment of the correspondence of the graduate's written speech to the literary norm.

Wishes to students and teachers:

I want to wish only one thing to my students: love and value your native language, also because language proficiency is the key to an intellectually rich and emotionally rich life. Whoever speaks the language owns the world, because the language provides tremendous opportunities for understanding the world and provides the richest opportunities for self-expression.

And I would like to urge teachers that there are no final achievements in the profession. It would seem that we have been doing the same thing for the eighth year - we are improving our skills in checking the work of students, we are conducting an expert assessment of their educational achievements. But the more we work with colleagues, the deeper we plunge into this process, the more we understand how much we still don’t know! Therefore, I wish teachers not to lose interest in the profession, in the business that we chose once and which we serve so faithfully.

When preparing for exams, you should first of all pay attention to the Rosobrnadzor website (www.obrnadzor.gov.ru) and the official information portal of the unified state exam (www.ege.edu.ru) - there, first of all, information about the OGE is published, which in one way or another otherwise it may concern the interests of future participants.

On these resources, you can familiarize yourself with the procedure for conducting exams, the schedule, the features of the OGE in various subjects; find answers to frequently asked questions.

Official sites of the OGE 2020 - grade 9

To understand how to perform the examination work, you should first of all familiarize yourself with the demo versions of the control measuring materials (CMM) of the OGE in the subjects of this year. Demonstration options will help you get an idea of ​​the structure of future CMMs, the number of tasks, their form and level of complexity. In addition, in the demo version, criteria for assessing the performance of tasks with a detailed answer are given, which give an idea of ​​the requirements for the completeness and correctness of recording the answer. This information is useful to develop a strategy for preparing for the OGE.

When reviewing the demos of the KIM OGE in 2020, it should be borne in mind that the tasks included in them do not reflect all the content issues that will be checked at the OGE.

FIPI annually prepares a certificate of changes in the CMM for each academic subject, it is also posted along with the demos. A subject teacher, even if he is not one of the organizing teachers at the OGE or a member of the subject commission experts, should familiarize himself with the methodological recommendations prepared on the basis of an analysis of the results of last year's OGE, and recommendations for subject commissions to check the fulfillment of tasks with a detailed answer, to know the process from the inside and be able to explain to your students all the features of the upcoming exams.

Also on the FIPI website there is a priceless thing - an open bank of OGE assignments. The bank contains a large number of tasks used in the preparation of variants of the KIM OGE in all academic subjects. It can be used for self-preparation for the exam. This will greatly help students navigate the examination material, practice in completing typical tasks. The teacher also needs to use the materials of the open bank of OGE assignments from time to time and include them as an element of the lesson when repeating the material.
