Changes in the exam. USE: compulsory subjects for passing the exam

Despite the ambiguous attitude towards mandatory state exams among school graduates and their parents, the abolition of the Unified State Examination in 2019 should definitely not be expected. Judging by the trend that took place in 2017 and 2018, students will have to prepare even better for graduation tests and start preparing not at the beginning of grade 11, but much earlier.

If in the 2018-2019 academic year you have to finish school and choose a university, we strongly recommend that today you become interested in such questions as:

Required subjects

Although today it is too early to talk about any final decisions regarding the final tests, which should take place in the 2018-2019 academic year, nevertheless, employees of the Ministry of Education and Science are ready to slightly lift the veil of mystery. We managed to find out that in 2019, new compulsory subjects will definitely appear in the Unified State Examination.

The total number of compulsory subjects has not yet been determined. A team of specialists is working on this, weighing all the pros and cons of introducing new tests in various subjects.

History will definitely be added to the compulsory subjects (basic or specialized mathematics and Russian) in 2019. The Ministry of Education and Science focuses on the fact that every citizen should know the history of their country and be able to distinguish historical facts from profanities and fakes, which in recent years have begun to appear more and more often against the backdrop of confrontation between countries in the information field.

As a subject of choice, graduates will be able to choose:

• Social Studies;
• physics;
• chemistry;
• informatics;
• foreign language;
• geography;
• biology;
• literature.

The list of foreign languages ​​available for delivery will include: English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese.

As before, tests for future applicants will begin at the beginning of winter with the writing of the December essay, which has already become a traditional start of the graduation campaign.

Thus, already today, studying in the 10th grade, future graduates must decide in which direction they would like to continue their education and decide how many and what subjects they need to take for this at the USE in 2019.

Innovations and changes in the USE 2019

If you believe the promises of Vasilyeva, then there will be no cardinal changes in the 2018-2019 season. The innovations introduced in 2017 and 2018 have proved to be excellent, and therefore will be preserved in the new exam tickets.

The following important changes are expected:

1. Compulsory oral part in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language (the exam will be divided into two days).
2. Development of new KIM in literature, focused on the disclosure of the creative potential of the examinee.
3. Adding the so-called “integrated problems” to the tickets for mathematics, for the solution of which students will need to accumulate knowledge from different areas of algebra and geometry.
4. The Informatics exam will be held only with the use of a PC (without the "paper" part).
5. Tightening the rules aimed at ensuring the reliability of the result.

Perhaps for schoolchildren who did not take a responsible enough approach to the study of individual subjects and realized their lack of knowledge only when they moved to grade 11, information about how many subjects they have to take at the exam in 2019 will be frightening. But, the purpose of such innovations is to provide competitive universities of the country with students with the necessary amount of knowledge.

For more information about the innovations that are expected in the Unified State Exam, see the interview with Olga Vasilyeva.

USE calendar for 2019

According to the approved schedule of the Unified State Exam, graduates of the 2018-2019 academic year will write the December essay on the following dates:

• main session - 12/05/18;
• 1st retake — 02/06/19;
• 2nd retake - 05/08/19.

The early period will run from 03/20/19 to 04/10/19 according to the established schedule:

The calendar of the main session of the exam in 2019 will be as follows:

In September, graduates will be able to retake only compulsory subjects. The transfer schedule will be as follows:

Minimum and passing scores

Completing the tasks of the exam, the graduate gains test scores, which are converted into final results on a certain scale. Whether there will be changes in the 2019 table is not yet known. But, with a high degree of probability, it can be argued that the system of the minimum and passing score will remain.

• Minimum score- a necessary condition for obtaining a document on education. It is not difficult to score a minimum score in subjects. To do this, it is enough to master the theory and practice at a basic level.
• Passing score- a necessary condition for entry into the university chosen by the graduate. Information about passing scores for a particular specialty at the university of interest should be sought on the official website of the educational institution.

Retake

One of the good news is the fact that in 2019 it will be possible to retake not only compulsory subjects, but also any USE exam. But, only one!

For graduates of previous years who received an unsatisfactory result, as well as for those who “failed” more than 1 subject or were convicted of violating discipline, there will be no retakes.

If the graduate could not appear on the day of the test for a good reason (documented), then he will receive 2 more attempts.

• on the reserve day of the session;
• during the fall session.

Since the USE certificate remains valid for 4 years, the autumn retake opens up the prospect of entering a university next year, or even in 2019-2020, to faculties with a shortage of students.

Training

Reading our article today, you thought in time about preparing for the final tests that await you in the 11th grade.

Experienced teachers, who have years of effective preparation of graduates for the Unified State Exam, recommend going to the intended goal according to the following algorithm:

1. Determine which faculty you would like to enter.
2. Find out what compulsory subjects (USE certificates) the university requires from applicants in 2019.
3. Get acquainted with what changes are expected in 2019 in the main subjects of the Unified State Examination (the official website of the FIPI will help with this).
4. Step by step repeat all the topics of the school course in subjects, practicing the solution of trial tickets in 2018 and 2019.
5. Attend exam preparation courses or contact a tutor.

Unfortunately, practice shows that just a good knowledge of the subject is not enough for the successful passing of the exam. It takes practice to solve tasks of a certain type. Gaining experience in solving USE tickets while preparing for exams, students form a strategy for completing assignments and gain self-confidence, which is an indispensable assistant in achieving success.

We also offer to watch a video of the All-Russian meeting of the head of Rosobrnadzor with parents, at which issues important for future graduates were raised.

In Russia, for many years now, the practice of passing a mandatory unified exam for all school graduates has been practiced. The transition to it was quite difficult, and to this day, many have a negative attitude towards this approach.

However, the USE was and remains the only option for graduating from high school and enrolling in a university.

Due to the fact that such a system is quite new in Russia, its conditions are constantly changing and supplementing.

And around the exam itself, there are an endless number of rumors. The USE is one of the most discussed and exciting topics both among the younger generation, who will have to pass such a test, and among their parents.

The possibility of canceling the exam

As mentioned above, among the population there is a rather ambiguous opinion about this measure. It should be noted that this practice was introduced almost 10 years ago, but many still cannot get used to it and do not want to get used to it.

The reasons why people demand the abolition of the exam are the following factors:

• overestimated complexity of the exam;
• overvoltage during the preparation and passing of the exam among schoolchildren;
• the complexity and high cost of preparing for the exam.

One of the most ardent opponents of the Unified State Examination are the parents of graduates, on whose shoulders lies a huge responsibility.

After all, failing the test, you can lose a lot of time. In addition, such an outcome can be a very serious blow to the nervous system of schoolchildren.

The complexity of the exams is also a big problem. In tickets, graduates face issues that were practically not considered in the school curriculum.

Because of this, there is a need for additional training. At the same time, experts recommend starting it not in the 11th grade, a year before the test, but in advance - at least a couple of years. Naturally, this takes a lot of time from students. Children don't have time for themselves.

Considering the time they spend at school, as well as the hours spent doing homework, teens don't have much free time anyway.

Adding to this complex also preparation for the exam, students risk getting physical overwork and nervous breakdowns.

Despite all this, officials flatly refuse to cancel the exam. According to them, such a test gives the most objective result, and also prepares graduates for complex university programs.

In addition, the competition for admission is also increasing, which is also a good result. But responsible people also recognize that the USE needs to be supplemented and revised in some conditions. Therefore, almost every year the conditions for its implementation change.

Changes in 2019

The Ministry of Education and Science is preparing a new batch of changes that should optimize the passage of the Unified State Exam.

The adjustments of previous years, according to the official, have shown themselves to be very effective, so they will not lose their power. The following amendments may be added to them:

• Literature references may change. New materials will be focused on unleashing the creative potential of the graduate;
• in the computer science exam, paper testing will be abolished. Now the entire exam will be taken using a computer;
• an oral part will appear in the tests in the Russian language. And the whole exam will be divided and it will take two days to pass it;
• the rules for passing the exam will be more stringent. Such a measure is necessary in order for the result to be as accurate and objective as possible;
• when passing the test in mathematics, the graduate will face special tasks, which are called integrated. They will be complicated and will require teenagers to have deep knowledge of different areas of mathematical sciences.

In general, many of the changes introduced by the Ministry of Education and Science seem to be fairly fair.

However, the question is how effective they will be and whether they will shock graduates with their complexity. We will be able to verify this only some time after their introduction.

Compulsory Exams

The most important news is that it is reliably known that in 2019 schoolchildren will have to take another one. Previously, there were two of them - mathematics and Russian.

Now history is added to them. Experts note that for civic consciousness, each person must know history.

They also note the importance of such knowledge in the context of information propaganda, which every graduate may face right now.

The Ministry of Education and Science may not stop there. Specialists are discussing the issue of introduction and the fourth compulsory subject. This could be a foreign language.

Now graduates can take a foreign optional. They have the option of taking English, German, French, Spanish or Chinese.

New retake rules

The Ministry of Education and Science offers future students an additional opportunity to retake. Previously, it was possible to undergo a similar procedure if one of the mandatory exams failed.

Now the teenager can retake any of the exams. However, there is a limitation here: you can only retake one item.

It is worth noting that not everyone will be given a retake:

• students who failed to pass the test in more than one subject will not be able to retake the exams;
• adolescents who have violated discipline and for this reason failed the exam may also not count on such an opportunity;
• graduates who failed the exam in previous years will not be eligible to retake.

It is worth recalling that you can skip the exam only for a good reason, which is documented. Then the applicant will be entitled to take the exam on a reserve day or at the autumn session.

Grading system

Most likely, you should not expect any special in the grading system in 2019. The system of minimum and passing points is quite effective, so they are not going to abandon it.

So, in order to receive a certificate, a student must score a minimum number of points in the exam. This is not a difficult task, because for such a result it is enough to answer the simplest questions, using minimal knowledge.

A passing score is an assessment that allows you to apply for a place in a particular university. Passing scores are determined directly by the educational institution, so it is better to request such information from the university where the graduate is going to enter.

Video news

Compulsory subjects - mathematics and the Russian language - have been used as a form of state final certification of general secondary education for a number of years. The final certification has general rules that have been repeatedly changed. The latest changes to the general rules will be discussed in this article.

About the rules

The USE (mandatory and optional subjects) is carried out using control measuring materials (KIM), which are standard forms of complexes with tasks. In addition, there are special mandatory forms to draw up answers to tasks. Compulsory subjects of the Unified State Examination, as well as elective subjects, are taken in Russian in writing, if this is not a section of foreign languages ​​("speaking").

Exams are held on the territory of Russia and outside it according to a single schedule. The organizers are Rosobrnadzor and the executive authorities of those constituent entities of the Russian Federation that manage the education sector. Outside the country, the Unified State Examination (mandatory and optional subjects) is also accepted by Rosobrnadzor and the founders of educational organizations of the Russian Federation, which are located abroad, have state accreditation and implement educational programs of general secondary education, as well as foreign institutions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, which have structural specialized educational units.

Admission to the exam

Compulsory and elective subjects are taken by students who do not have academic debts and who have fully completed individual or general grades in all subjects for all years of study not lower than satisfactory.

Disabled children and disabled students, as well as students with disabilities who study in educational and educational special institutions of a closed type and institutions where they serve sentences of imprisonment.

Students in educational programs of vocational secondary education also have the right to attestation in the form of the Unified State Examination (Russian language and mathematics, as well as elective subjects for admission to a higher educational institution). Students in educational institutions of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol have the same right.

Recertification and external

The right to attestation in the form of the Unified State Examination is also available to graduates of previous years (with a document on obtaining a general complete secondary education until 2013), as well as to those students who master educational programs of vocational secondary education and study in educational organizations abroad of the Russian Federation, even if they have there are valid results of the exam of the past years.

The USE can also be passed by people who have mastered secondary education programs in other forms - family education or self-education, or who have mastered educational programs that are not accredited by the state. They can externally pass the GIA in

Items

Now the compulsory subjects for passing the exam are the Russian language and mathematics. However, changes and additions are planned for 2020. Firstly, according to the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Olga Vasilyeva, an exam in history will be mandatory for everyone. In addition, the compulsory subjects of the Unified State Examination in 2020 may include a foreign language and geography. Indeed, without knowledge of history, the country will not be able to successfully move into tomorrow. Will geography be a compulsory subject of the Unified State Exam, as long as the entire existing system of exams will be reviewed.

However, English as a compulsory subject in the USE (or another foreign language) is likely to be. A number of regions in 2020 will take such a subject in the testing mode. Further, by 2022, the country will be ready to introduce a foreign language into the minimum examination in schools, and now trial tests are being compiled, programs are being developed. History as a compulsory subject in the Unified State Examination is an issue that has already been practically resolved, although, according to Olga Vasilyeva, this will happen no earlier than 2020. This will be the third compulsory subject.

History with geography

Olga Vasilyeva made many statements at the All-Russian Conference on the History of Russia, which took place in February 2017, regarding the development of education in the country. Much has been said about passing the exam in 2020. Required items will be replenished. She clarified that today children only take mathematics and Russian, but the third subject of the exam should certainly be history.

She also stated that she is carefully listening to the increasingly louder-sounding public opinion regarding the GIA, which students take after the end of the ninth grade, in geography. Many citizens advocate the introduction of such an exam at graduation from school. The list of compulsory USE subjects will definitely be replenished. Perhaps geography will be one of them.

For university admission

In 2009, all high school graduates received information about the compulsory subjects of the Unified State Examination. They became the Russian language and mathematics. At the same time, each eleventh grader must receive a score not lower than that established by Rosobrnadzor. In addition, school graduates choose several necessary subjects for admission to the university. You need to choose from the list of general education disciplines that are included in the USE list. How many compulsory subjects, for example, should an eleventh grader take when they want to go to university? This will depend on the chosen specialization. For example, a future programmer needs ICT and informatics.

USE assignments in mathematics can be completed in advance not only completely, but also repeatedly, for this there are official portals with open task banks. Since this subject is compulsory, graduates do just that. But mathematics is different from mathematics. The same future programmers should not decide the basic version, but the profile one. The tasks of the USE in mathematics at the profile level require, meanwhile, only knowledge of the school course. On the website of the selected university, there is probably a free demonstration material that can be used in self-study.

List

Subjects, including compulsory ones, at the choice of a school graduate for admission to a university:

1. Russian language.

2. Profile and basic mathematics.

4. Physics.

5. Social science.

6. History.

7. Information and communication technologies and informatics.

8. Geography.

9. Biology.

10. Literature.

11. Foreign language (English, French, German, Spanish).

To get a high school diploma, you need to take only two compulsory subjects - Russian and mathematics. Further, on a voluntary basis, a graduate can take any subjects of his own choice in accordance with the requirements of a certain one. Everything depends on the planned direction of training, that is, the specialty.

change

Since not too fast, but cardinal changes are taking place in the country, this cannot but affect the education system. The Ministry of Education and Science has accumulated a lot of complaints from the population of the country. Of course, this system of passing exams has its advantages, such as the option of preventing corruption and the independence of the resulting assessment of knowledge. But there are a lot of downsides too. By 2019, it is planned to develop a mechanism for passing the exam in six subjects, as well as to increase the number of certifications for elementary schools. Of course, knowledge must be assessed systematically so that students acquire skills that increase responsibility and order.

In the minus of the existing organization of the exam, both parents and teachers put the test nature of the exam. Most students just try to guess the correct answer. This system should have been abolished a long time ago, replaced by a survey form that existed until 2009. Of course, both rehearsals and public opinion polls are needed before anything new is introduced into this system, because, first of all, it is necessary to understand how each of these changes will improve the situation.

Deadlines and assignments

Conducting the exam on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as outside it, provides for a single schedule. Each subject has its own duration of the exam. In January of this year, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation issues a decree that approves a unified schedule and duration of each exam. It also gives the entire list of funds that will be needed for training and education and will be used during the exam.

FIPI (Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements) develops examination tasks (KIM), that is, complexes of standardized tasks, with the help of which the level of development of the educational standard will be established. On the FIPI website, you can familiarize yourself in advance with the section of the demonstration versions of the USE for each subject, as well as with the documents that regulate the content and structure of the KIM - with all codifiers and specifications. Tasks can be both with detailed and short answers. The oral answers of the examiners in foreign languages ​​are recorded using audio tapes. This section ("speaking") is still on a voluntary basis.

Responsibility

The information of control measuring materials that are used for state certification cannot be disclosed, since it refers to information with restricted access. Therefore, everyone who will be involved in the conduct of the exam, as well as persons taking the exam during the period of its conduct, are responsible for the disclosure of KIM information in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

If the KIM information is published, for example, on the Internet, this will become evidence of the presence of signs of an offense under Articles 13.14 and 19.30 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation; 59, part 11 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Education in the Russian Federation".

results

The state final certification, which is carried out in the form of the Unified State Examination, uses a hundred-point assessment system in all subjects, except for basic mathematics. Separately, for each subject, a minimum number of points is set, and if the examinee has overcome this threshold, then his mastery of the educational program of the general average level will be confirmed.

When the verification of examination papers is completed, the results of the exam in all subjects are considered by the chairman of the SEC, after which he decides to cancel, change or approve them. The approval of the results takes place within one working day after the verification of all examination papers.

Appeals

If the examining high school graduate is not satisfied with the points received, he has the opportunity to file an appeal of disagreement within two days from the date of the announcement of the results of the exam. It is drawn up in writing and submitted to the educational organization that gave admission to the examinee for the exam.

Graduates of previous years and other categories of USE participants can appeal to the place of registration for delivery or to others that the region has determined. The results of the USE for each examinee exist only in the federal information system, and paper certificates about them are not provided. Their term is four years.

Resurrender

If a graduate of this current year receives a result that is below the established minimum score for any of the compulsory subjects, he can retake the exam again - additional terms are provided for this in a single schedule. If, in any category, the USE participant fails to obtain a minimum score in the subjects that he has chosen for admission to the university, then the retake will take place only after a year.

Since 2015, all students can take the USE in compulsory subjects up to three times (this applies only to mathematics and the Russian language). This is possible either on additional days if only one subject is failed, or in autumn (September, October). In the latter case, admission to the university can no longer take place, since the required deadlines have passed, but the student will receive a certificate.
