How to find out the schedule of the exam, oge and gve. How to find out the schedule of the exam, oge and gve Schedule of the exam reserve days

More than 700,000 graduates of the 11th grade in 2017 will take the exam. Despite the spring days, it's hard to rejoice: exam dates are approaching at an alarming rate. On what days are the most terrible tests of the examination epic prepared for graduates? When will I have to take the mandatory USE in mathematics and the Russian language in 2017? What to expect and what to prepare for? Forewarned is forearmed! Or in Latin - prei monituse, prei minituse!

The official schedule of the exam in 2017

On the official website of the FIPI (Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements), the document with the approved USE schedule in 2017 has not yet appeared, but it has already become known that the dates for the state exams this year have been approved by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

USE schedule in 2017

As in the previous year, in 2017 exams will be held in three stages: early, main and additional.

the date	Subject
early period
March 23 (Thu)	geography, informatics and ICT

July 1 (Sat)	reserve: in all subjects
Additional period
September 5 (Tue)	Russian language
September 8 (Fri)	mathematics (basic)
September 16 (Sat)	reserve: mathematics (basic), Russian language

Thus, from March 23 to April 14, the early stage of passing the exam will be held, and from May 29 to July 1, the main stage of passing exams will be held. An additional stage will take place from 5 to 16 September.

Briefly and schematically, the standard USE schedule for a graduate will look like this:

May 29 - geography and informatics and ICT;
May 31 - basic level mathematics;
June 2 - profile level mathematics;
June 5 - social studies;
June 7 - physics and literature;
June 9 - Russian language;
June 13 - foreign language (without speaking) and biology;
June 15 - speaking in a foreign language;
June 19 - chemistry and history.

By the way, the GVE for eleventh graders will be held according to a similar schedule. True, a foreign language will be held on one day - June 13th. As for the USE in mathematics at the profile level, it is not provided for within the GVE.

On a note! Ninth graders will also be subjected to examination tests. The main stage of the OGE for them has the following schedule:

May 26-27 - foreign language;
May 30 - Russian language;
June 1 - history, biology, physics, literature;
June 3 - physics, informatics and ICT;
June 6 - mathematics;
June 8 - social science, geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT.

Note that ninth-graders will take GVE according to a similar schedule.

Compulsory exams and electives

The list of disciplines that must be passed at all costs traditionally includes the Russian language and mathematics. Although from 2017, they are going to add one more mandatory subject to these subjects. True, it is not yet known what kind of object it is. There are several contenders for this role: a foreign language, social studies, physics and history.

Today it is known that you need to take only four exams: two mandatory and two optional. The graduate must determine the subjects of his choice, depending on what specialty he plans to enter at the university.

The list of USE exams for choice for 2017 consists of 12 subjects:

literature;
story;
social science;
biology;
physics;
chemistry;
geography;
informatics and ICT;
English;
Deutsch;
French;
Spanish.

Time of the exam in 2017

Exams in all subjects will begin as usual at 10 am local time. The time allotted for passing the examination tests also remained unchanged:

social studies - 235 minutes;
history - 235 minutes;
Russian language - 210 minutes;
literature - 235 minutes;
profile level mathematics - 235 minutes;
basic level mathematics - 180 minutes;
chemistry - 210 minutes;
physics - 235 minutes;
informatics and ICT - 235 minutes;
biology - 180 minutes;
geography - 180 minutes;
foreign languages - 180 minutes (plus 15 minutes for the "Speaking" section).

Attention! The time to pass the exam in biology has increased by 30 minutes compared to the previous year. And in 2017, the time for the biology exam will be 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Minimum scores for the exam in 2017

The minimum number of points according to the results of the Unified State Examinations is different for those graduates who just want to get a certificate, and for those who plan to enter a university.

Minimum USE scores for admission to a university

In Russian, you need to score 36 points.

The results of the Unified State Examination at the profile level of mathematics will be needed for those who intend to enter a university that includes the subject "Mathematics" in the list of entrance examinations.

mathematics (profile) - 27 points;
mathematics (basic) - 3 points (assessment).

Minimum USE scores for obtaining a certificate

in Russian - 24 points;
in mathematics of the profile level - 27 points;
in mathematics of the basic level - 3 points (assessment);
in physics - 36 points;
in chemistry - 36 points;
in computer science - 40 points;
in biology - 36 points;
in history - 32 points;
in geography - 37 points;
in social studies - 42 points;
in literature - 32 points;
in foreign languages - 22 points.

Changes and innovations in the USE-2017

As mentioned above, it is planned to add one more to the two compulsory subjects for passing the exam, but which one is unknown.

A rather important change that affected the content of the examination tests is the cancellation of the test part for several subjects at once. Thus, tests have been canceled not only in the Russian language and mathematics, but also in “oral” subjects. The test part of the exam remained only in the Unified State Examination in a foreign language.

An innovation that speaks of the improvement of the USE and its attempt to keep up with the times is the passing of the USE in computer science and ICT on a computer.

For exams in foreign languages since 2017, an oral part has been introduced - "Speaking". Now foreign languages will need to be taken 15 minutes longer - this is how long the oral part lasts. In addition to foreign languages, there is also an idea to introduce an oral part into the Unified State Examination in history, literature and social science, but so far this is only a project. And in the test mode, the oral part of the Russian language exam will be tested. Thus, in some regions of Russia, the Russian language exam will include the oral part already in 2017.

Thus, there are no cardinal and unexpected changes in the USE in 2017. And those innovations that have been implemented are obviously aimed at improving the system of examination tests. The official USE schedule for 2017 has already been approved and is known. It remains only to prepare well and show a decent level of knowledge!

Good luck with exams!

For several years in a row, school graduates have been taking a mandatory exam that can show the real level of their knowledge and help them enter the desired university. USE Exam Schedule 2017 somewhat changed.

According to the decision of the government, in 2017, the guys will start taking the exam from February. If they can type , then the test is over. If the passing score is not "taken", then schoolchildren will be tested in April as well.

In order to properly prepare for this crucial moment and get the desired certificates, many future graduates are already looking for the necessary literature, hiring tutors, and looking for video lessons on the net. In many schools, just a few days before the exam, preparatory classes begin to be held in order to slightly reduce the level of tension among students and give them hope that it is quite possible to pass the exam for a high score.

It should be noted that only with the beginning school year Check out the full exam schedule for 2017. But at the same time, anyone can personally draw up a preliminary delivery plan. examination papers based on the dates of the previous year.

In principle, one or two days of difference do not play a special role, but the student will be able to accurately plan his free time and allocate several hours for preparation.

USE dates

Early Exam

If you want to pass the exams ahead of schedule and see what you are capable of, even before the start of the main part of the exam, then you can take the work in March. This approach allows students to significantly increase the scores of their certificates and increase the chances of entering a prestigious university.

If during the test your scores seemed unsatisfactory, then during the main part of the examination, you can radically change the picture. So the schedule early USE as follows.

Note that in 2016 the period from April 15 to April 23 was defined as a reserve period. In 2017, these will be the days:

April 10 (Mon) reserve - geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT, foreign languages (oral), history;
April 12 (Wed) reserve - foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology;
April 14 (Fri) reserve - Russian language, mathematics B, P.

Main period

Reserve period

Reserve dates for exams are intended for those students who did not have time to get into the main period for good reasons. It should be remembered that there are only a few reasons that exempt from taking the exam in the main period. First of all, this is poor health, documented (certificate from a doctor).

In addition, a retake is provided in the delivery of the exam. As a rule, it takes place in September of the new academic year.

In the same year, for the first time, "autumn" days for passing the exam and GVE:

September 5 (Tue) - Russian
September 8 (Fri) — mathematics B
September 16 (Sat) reserve - mathematics B, Russian

Changes in the exam

Already in 2016, all students felt the burden of changes that took place in the USE system. Officials continue to radically change the procedure for conducting these works so that the process of checking knowledge is more accurate and transparent. The most important innovations are:

The list of compulsory subjects has been increased to three. Recall that until 2016, graduates took only two subjects (Russian and mathematics). Now history will be included in the number of compulsory subjects. It will have to be taken not only in a test form, where it is possible to put answers at random, but also orally. In addition, a foreign language may become a presumptive compulsory subject. True, while officials are skeptical about this decision and intend to introduce this test closer to 2020.
In total, at least 4 subjects will need to be passed at the USE in 2017. Depending on which university the future applicant enters, the names of these subjects may change.
Knowledge testing in the subject "Informatics" is planned to be carried out on computers. By 2017, the Ministry of Education must prepare appropriate programs for this.
The points earned on the exam affect the final certificate of the graduate.
Mathematics will be taken in two standards: basic and profile.

Do not forget that you should not delay preparing for exams. During the school year, it is more difficult to set aside a few hours to devote them to the exam. Therefore, future graduates should get acquainted with possible questions at the exam already in the summer. Considering that all tests can be easily found on the Internet, this task becomes quite feasible.

The USE (Unified State Examination) is a centralized exam that is conducted in educational institutions secondary general education to assess the quality of students' preparation with the help of control measuring materials.

Since 2009, the USE has been a form of final examinations at a school (or lyceum) and at the same time the main form of entrance examinations to universities. So, students take the exam in the following subjects: Russian, mathematics, foreign language (English, French, German and Spanish), physics, chemistry, biology, geography, literature, history, social science, computer science.

Rosobrnadzor has published the official USE schedule for 2018. Like last year, there is a breakdown by periods: an early, main stage and an additional one, which will be held in September. In the additional period, students will be given the opportunity to retake the exam in two main and compulsory disciplines - mathematics and the Russian language.

The main stage of the USE-2018 starts on May 28. On this day, students will also have to pass geography, computer science and ICT.

The mandatory USE in the Russian language in 2018 will be held on June 6. Compulsory math exams will be held on May 30 (basic level) and June 1 ( profile level). Recall that profile mathematics is taken by choice by those who need this exam to enter a university for engineering, technical, physical, mathematical and economic specialties. basic math choose those who do not need this subject for admission to the university. Students can take both levels of mathematics, or choose only one.

May 28 (Mon) — geography, computer science.
May 30 (Wed) - math base.
June 1 (Fri) – mathematics profile.
June 4 (Mon) - chemistry, history.
June 6 (Wed) - Russian.
June 9 (Sat) - foreign languages (oral part).
June 13 (Wed) - foreign languages (oral part) - the official document indicates TWO deadlines.
June 14 (Thursday) - social studies.
June 18 (Mon) — biology, foreign languages.
June 20 (Wed) - literature, physics.

June 22 (Fri) - geography, computer science.
June 25 (Mon) — mathematics base and profile.
June 26 (Tue) - Russian.
June 27 (Wed) - chemistry, history, biology, foreign languages.
June 28 (Thu) - literature, physics, social science.
June 29 (Fri) - foreign languages (oral part).
July 2 (Mon) - for all academic subjects.

September 4 (Tue) - Russian.
September 7 (Fri) — mathematics base.

September 15 (Sat) - mathematics base, Russian language.

March 21 (Wednesday) - geography, computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT).
March 23 (Friday) - Russian.
March 26 (Monday) - history, chemistry.
March 28 (Wednesday) - foreign languages (English, French, German, Spanish) (section "Speaking").

March 30 (Friday) - Unified State Examination in mathematics at the basic level, Unified State Examination in mathematics at the profile level.

In the 9th grade of secondary schools in Russia, everyone must pass four subjects, two compulsory ones, mathematics and Russian, and any two more at the discretion of the student. The required number of points for each subject is 3, otherwise the student will not be issued a certificate of basic education and he will be forced to retake subjects until positive results are obtained.

The chances of retaking are not unlimited, so if the examinee could not pass 1-2 subjects, out of the selected 4, he will be allowed to retake on one reserve day in the same year. In case of another failure, you will have to wait another year. Grades for the OGE directly affect the grades in the certificate.

Until 2018, all students were admitted to the OGE without any additional tests, but soon it is planned to introduce a final oral interview in the Russian language, which will become admission to the exam.

During passing the OGE there is a test of knowledge of the student for the period from the 5th to the 9th grades. With positive exam results, you can enter any college in the country, or continue schooling and simply go to the 10th grade. After the end of the 11th grade, during the USE, knowledge will be re-tested, but they will also be supplemented by those that were obtained over a two-year period of study.

When passing the exam, the Russian language and mathematics, as well as in the OGE, are mandatory for delivery. It is also interesting that the exam itself takes place within the walls of another school, and the grading system is no longer 5, but 100-point. The admission to the exam is the writing of the final essay on literature.

The OGE in all subjects starts at 10.00 local time.

Representatives of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements have drawn up an approximate time plan for students to complete tasks, but each of the examinees himself has the right to allocate the time allocated to him. The main requirement for schoolchildren is to meet the total duration of the OGE in the subject.

For exam participants with health problems of any nature, the duration of the exam can and should be increased by 1.5 hours, and the exam in a foreign language by 30 minutes.

In the case of an increase in the duration of the exam to 4 hours or more, the organizers provide food for the participants of the exam.

Students who, for a good reason, missed the exams, as well as those whose chosen subjects fell on the same day, will be able to take the exam in reserve days additional period.

Deputies from the Liberal Democratic Party on Friday will submit to the State Duma a bill to abolish the Unified State Examination (USE), the press service of the faction reports.

“It is proposed to abolish the Unified State Examination as a graduation and introductory entry into educational organizations higher education. It is proposed to replace the USE with state exams, which will be taken by students educational programs basic general and secondary general education,” the explanatory note says.

Will the government hear these requests, and are these arguments enough, because the transfer of secondary and higher education to another type of examination program is an expensive undertaking?

Hope for the abolition of the Unified State Examination has appeared since Dmitry Livanov, an ardent supporter of the unified exam, resigned. However, Olga Vasilyeva, an opponent of graduate tests, who took his place, has not yet made any attempts to change anything.

The Ministry of Education stated that there will be no cancellation of the Unified State Examination either in 2018 or 2019, although the exam is expected to be significantly reformed. What is it?

The number of compulsory subjects will increase to 5. Mathematics, Russian and foreign languages remain paramount. History, physics or geography can be added to them. So far, the Ministry of Education has not yet decided which subjects to focus on.
The exam will consist of 2 parts: oral and written. This form will assess the general knowledge of the student in the subject.
Transfer possibility. The graduate will be given 2 attempts to pass the exam during the current academic year.

The Ministry of Education is not going to abandon the Unified State Exam yet, although it promises that the test part will gradually decrease and be replaced by the written part.

An oral part will gradually be added to all subjects, since it is not possible to objectively assess knowledge solely on written works.

In what way does the Ministry of Education see the advantage of the USE? So far, one main argument is being put forward: this is a good tool for fighting corruption in the education system.

The only exception in 2018 will be students from Sevastopol and Crimea, CCI-Inform reports. They can still take exams according to the old rules, but this Last year when they are granted indulgences. It is planned that the state exam will be held for students of the 4th and 9th grades. From the government's point of view, this is necessary so that the USE in the 11th grade is not a big stress for graduates.

The golden mean is the conclusion reached by the Ministry of Education. In the future, we will be able to observe how the USE will combine the written part, consisting of detailed answers to questions, and the oral part, in which the student will be able to show general knowledge of the subject and express their own thoughts. Moving away from the Soviet system of education, which was considered the best in the world, we return to it in an updated form 20 years later.

To enter a university, you will have to take specialized exams separately, which also seems fair to many. School items cannot cover all the specialties that the higher school offers, therefore competitions, creative work and specialized exams already within the walls of the university are inevitable.

Whether this decision is correct, time will tell. But positive changes in the examination system are just around the corner.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018: latest FIPI news.

The USE is one of the most burning topics in Russia. At the beginning of the emergence of this form of knowledge testing, there were many disputes: to enter or not to enter? Now this form of knowledge testing no longer frightens students, but the discussions around it still do not subside. The main question of the upcoming academic year: will the oral part be introduced to the Unified State Examination in the Russian language?

As you know, the Ministry of Education annually finalizes examination KIMs unified state exams. Since in the 11th grade only Russian and mathematics are mandatory for delivery, special interest arises precisely around these subjects. So, let's see the changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018: latest FIPI news. USE 2018, Russian. Why is the oral part necessary?

The exam in the Russian language consists of two parts: a part with short answers and an essay. According to the majority of teachers, as well as university teachers, school graduates often do not know how to correctly formulate their thoughts, find it difficult to freely reason and do not know how to argue their own position. This problem revealed weaknesses school education. Despite the fact that several years ago they removed test tasks and introduced the December essay, which fixes the admission or non-admission of students to take the state exam, this was not enough. Therefore, it was decided to introduce an oral answer.

So, according to experts, the oral part of the exam will allow students to learn:

Formulate thoughts in literary language.

Develop the ability of reasoning.

Build argumentative communication skills.

To expand school graduates' knowledge in the field of oratory.

Be competitive in the professional field.

Actually, this is not new. For a long time, students have mastered the oral part in the OGE in English language. It allows you to identify the ability of students to understand the text, highlight the main idea and formulate competent answers.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018: latest FIPI news. How will the oral exam take place?

In some regions, training exams in Russian have already been passed, where students took the oral part of the computer. Schoolchildren tested new tasks and noted one important drawback: the answers of other examinees make it difficult to concentrate. Officials promised that this would be fixed in the future, and children would be able to take a spoken Russian language exam in separate classrooms. How this is implemented in practice is still unknown.

How will it be in 2018?

In the USE in the Russian language in 2018 there will be no oral part, unlike the USE in the 9th grade, where schoolchildren in many regions of Russia in 2018 will still have to speak in the exam.

All the innovations in the USE 2018 were published on the official website of FIPI. In the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, the main change in the tasks of the first part is No. 20. Now this task is aimed at testing the knowledge of the lexical norms of the Russian language. Pupils need to correlate the sentence with the mistakes that were made there. According to officials, this is just another step in achieving the main goal - the introduction of the oral part of the exam.

However, experienced teachers are already advising students of the 10th grade to prepare for the oral part of the exam in Russian, because. it will probably appear in 2019. What needs to be done?

Learn to formulate the main idea of the text.

Argumentatively voice your position on the read text.

Explain your own thoughts well.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018: latest FIPI news. What do officials want?

The Minister of Education does not approve of drastic changes. Perhaps this is good. After all, the Unified State Exam is still stressful for graduates. According to statistics, many students do not aspire to get into universities just because of the frightening USE procedure. Actually high level the introduction of an additional third compulsory subject for delivery in the 11th grade is being discussed. Presumably this will be history. Officials believe that if the number of mandatory items for delivery is increased, then children will consider this a “common thing” and will no longer be afraid.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2018: latest FIPI news. Will it benefit the students?

Everyone will answer this question for himself. The students can only wish good luck in the exams.

Cancellation of the Unified State Examination in Russia: the latest news for today. Bill in the State Duma.Cancellation of the exam: pros and cons

Deputies from the Liberal Democratic Party on Friday will submit to the State Duma a bill to abolish the Unified State Examination (USE), the press service of the faction reports.

"It is proposed to abolish the USE as a graduation and introductory entry into educational institutions of higher education. The USE is proposed to be replaced by state exams, which will be taken by students in the educational programs of basic general and secondary general education," the explanatory note says.

According to the authors of the initiative, self-training student for the exam is almost impossible - for effective preparation, it is necessary to additionally hire tutors, whose services are expensive and unbearable for many parents.

It is emphasized that the adoption of the bill "will make it possible to determine the level of applicants to universities based on their knowledge, and not on the basis of dubious USE results, and will allow for a better selection among candidates for admission to educational institutions higher education".

Cancellation of the Unified State Examination in 2018: news for today.The Ministry of Education and Science responded to the initiative to abolish the Unified State Examination

The Ministry of Education and Science has no plans to cancel the Unified State Examination. The department said that the USE system is being improved every year, RIA Novosti reports.

The department emphasized that the USE system "strengthens the development of a single educational space and enables residents of the whole country to enter universities on equal terms." The Ministry of Education recalled that, according to polls, the majority of Russians support the current procedure for passing the unified state exam.

Earlier, deputies from the LDPR submitted to the Duma a draft law on the abandonment of the Unified State Examination. In return, they proposed the introduction of state examinations for programs of basic and secondary general education.

"This monstrous, in fact, experiment on schoolchildren, which began in 2002, completely failed. Children simply do not have time to adapt to the exam procedure. The only thing that remains is the square-nested form of knowledge assessment - tick the boxes in the answers to the tests", - said one of the authors of the document, Yaroslav Nilov.

Cancellation of the exam: pros and cons

In 2013-2014, the Internet and the media were filled with rumors that the Unified State Exam, adopted throughout Russia, would finally be canceled and switched to examination model characteristic of the Soviet era. Changes are expected in 2018. But will they? Will the exam be cancelled? What surprise will the government bring to the graduates this time?

Cancellation of the Unified State Examination: Where does the wind blow from?

It all started with an appeal to the President of Russia by the honored teacher, professor of the Russian State Pedagogical University named after V.I. A. I. Herzen Sergei Rukshin with a request to cancel the exam and replace it with an oral and written test of knowledge, as was the case in the USSR. Other respected teachers and authorities have also repeatedly spoken out against the USE, motivating their point of view with the following arguments:

Education at school is focused on passing the exam, and not on receiving a systemic education. Children are "trained" to perform typical tasks, while there is no general understanding of the subject. Graduates remember certain facts, but cannot give them a detailed explanation.
Children refuse to learn topics not included in the exam. Loss of desire for knowledge. Students strive to obtain the minimum necessary for successful delivery Unified State Examination, while they are not interested in a systematic study of the subject. Going beyond the school with discrete knowledge, they cannot become highly qualified specialists.
The complexity of preparing and passing the exam discourages graduates from the desire to enter universities. Statistics confirm that the number of applicants has decreased markedly.
Children enter the specialty for which there are enough points. This thesis is especially true for applicants from the provinces and children whose parents cannot pay for the work of private teachers for qualified preparation for the exam.
Tests do not provide an opportunity to objectively assess knowledge. To correct the situation, there was an attempt to introduce an oral part for languages. The rest of the items are handed over only in writing.

Parents also oppose the USE in Russia, arguing that preparing for and passing the exam is a lot of stress for most graduates. The very situation at the exam, checking personal belongings at the entrance, the presence of security and inspectors will make anyone worry:

Terrorists are not checked at the entrance to the station like a student before the exam (Folk Humor).

Will the government hear these requests, and are these arguments enough, because the transfer of secondary and higher education to another type of examination program is an expensive undertaking?

Cancellation of the Unified State Examination: What do they say at the top?

The Ministry of Education stated that there will be no cancellation of the Unified State Examination either in 2018 or 2019, although the exam is expected to be significantly reformed. What is it?

The number of compulsory subjects will increase to 5. Mathematics, Russian and foreign languages remain paramount. History, physics or geography can be added to them. So far, the Ministry of Education has not yet decided which subjects to focus on.
The exam will consist of 2 parts: oral and written. This form will assess the general knowledge of the student in the subject.
Transfer possibility. The graduate will be given 2 attempts to pass the exam during the current academic year.

The Ministry of Education is not going to abandon the Unified State Exam yet, although it promises that the test part will gradually decrease and be replaced by the written part.

An oral part will gradually be added to all subjects, since it is not possible to objectively assess knowledge solely on written works.

In what way does the Ministry of Education see the advantage of the USE? So far, one main argument is being put forward: this is a good tool for fighting corruption in the education system.

The only exception in 2018 will be students from Sevastopol and Crimea. They can still take exams according to the old rules, but this is the last year when they will be granted concessions. It is planned that the state exam will be held for students of the 4th and 9th grades. From the government's point of view, this is necessary so that the USE in the 11th grade is not a big stress for graduates.

Cancellation of the Unified State Examination: What awaits us?

To enter a university, you will have to take specialized exams separately, which also seems fair to many. School subjects cannot cover all the specialties that a higher school offers, so competitions, creative work and profile exams are already inevitable within the walls of a university.

Whether this decision is correct, time will tell. But positive changes in the examination system are just around the corner.

The exam is held according to a single schedule, which is annually approved by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Exams are held in three stages: early, main and additional (September).
