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.

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.

How many tasks do you need to complete to get a certain point on the exam? This question can be answered using a special scales for converting primary scores into test scores.

The scale indicates the correspondence between the primary and test scores.
Primary scores- this is preliminary points before transferring to a 100-point scale (for example, in the Russian language for task No. 1 you can get 2 primary points, for task No. 2 - 1 primary point). You can get acquainted with the distribution of points for tasks in this article... Primary scores are converted to test scores.
Test scores- this is final points after transferring to a 100-point scale, with which applicants enter the university. For one item you can get no more than 100 test points.

In purple points are highlighted, which are not enough to pass the exam.
In redthe minimum scores are highlighted, confirming the delivery of the exam.

The maximum number of primary points (USE 2016):
Russian language - 57 (+1) ;
Math - 32 (-2) ;
Social Studies - 62 (0) ;
Physics - 50 (0) ;
Biology - 61 (0) ;
History - 53 (-6) ;
Chemistry - 64 (0) ;
Foreign languages ​​- 100 (0) ;
Informatics and ICT - 35 (0) ;
Literature - 42 (0) ;
Geography - 47 (-4) .
The change in primary scores compared to 2015 is shown in parentheses.

If the number of primary points does not change, then the scale of the transfer of points remains unchanged. Therefore, we can say that the scale for social science, physics, biology, chemistry, foreign languages, informatics and literature for 2016 is 100% accurate. The most unclear is the scale in mathematics, because in 2015 this scale taken from the ceiling, it defies any logic; it is unclear what the math scale will look like in 2016.
Scale for converting points to grades by mathematics (basic level) is presented below:

The exam last year showed that the students spent a little more time on completing some tasks than was prescribed, so many of the graduates did not have time to solve all the tasks of high and advanced levels of difficulty, therefore, in the 2016 exam, it was decided to slightly reduce the number of tasks with a short answer ... The number of tasks at the profile level of the USE in mathematics was reduced to 19. Having solved all the tasks absolutely correctly, the graduate will receive 32 points. The division of the exam into levels showed, on the whole, good results, but it was noted that not all schoolchildren were able to make the right choice between the two levels of the exam, the lack of awareness of both the schoolchildren themselves and their parents and teachers about the goals and conditions of the examinations, and also their impact on further education. The experience of the 2015 exam will allow this academic year to more efficiently and effectively use the teaching hours, taking into account the interests of two different groups of graduates with different educational prospects.

Below is a scale for the transfer of primary USE scores in mathematics in 2016 of the profile level, created on the basis of this year's exam results... On its basis, an approximate scale for the translation of the primary USE scores in mathematics of the 2017 profile level was compiled, which can be guided by when preparing for the upcoming exam, not forgetting that it is only approximate and may differ from the scale by which the results will actually be assessed ...

The minimum threshold for admission to universities and obtaining a certificate:
minimum primary score - 6, minimum test score - 27.

Since 2015, the USE in mathematics has been divided into two levels: basic and specialized. The USE of the profile level is intended for graduates planning to enter technical and economic universities and further study higher mathematics.

If the graduate does not pass the profile exam, passing the USE at the basic level is mandatory! It is impossible to get a school certificate without a positive mark for this exam.

Naturally, the examination options for the basic and specialized levels are very different both in the level of complexity of the proposed tasks and in their subject matter. The basic level assumes familiarity with the basic concepts of algebra, geometry, arithmetic at the level of the school "four". Among the tasks of the profile level, there are serious tasks (for example, parametric ones) that require knowledge that goes beyond the scope of the school curriculum.

The USE version in mathematics of the basic level includes 20 questions that require only a short numerical answer. The student is not obliged to provide a complete solution, he is not obliged to substantiate the answer. For each correctly solved task, you can get 1 primary score. Thus, the maximum primary the score is 20.

The scores obtained are converted to "traditional" grades in accordance with the table below. For example, a graduate who scored 14 primary points receives a "good" grade.

Unified State Exam in Mathematics (basic level). Scale for converting primary scores into grades

Please note: a student who scored less than 7 points receives an "unsatisfactory" grade for the exam. In this case, the USE in mathematics will have to be taken again, otherwise the graduate runs the risk of being left without a certificate.

The above table was used for the 2015 exam in mathematics. The likelihood of any changes in 2016 is small, but the situation will finally become clear after the exam. It is too early to make any predictions for 2017.

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.

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