Ege Russian run time. How does the difficulty level of a task affect the final score? How to find out the preliminary results of the exam

We continue to prepare for the exam. This time, guys who passed physics with 90+ points share their advice.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH A CALCULATOR

Roman Dubovenko, 98 points

I prepared for two months, and after the trial exams, I was predicted a maximum of 60 points. I can give some advice to graduates: you make a book with 30 options - this is for part A. Just each number 30 times, you sort out the mistakes, you watch how the compilers catch children for inattention.
Now part C.
There are certain models and methods for solving problems, each section has its own. You receive a task, remember the topic, the formulas associated with it, the drawing, and express the value that is asked. In physics, it is best to make literal expressions and use the calculator only once (getting rid of errors and mathematical errors). Physicists also love to see the final formula.
Therefore, you need to be able to work with a calculator. And be sure to check the batteries, the numbers should be clear on the display - this is the easiest way to find out how it works.
You monotonously analyze the approaches, but there is always a drawing in the approach, remember this.
I went to the exam with full confidence that I would pass, because I spoiled the result in mathematics because of my own stupidity and understood that I would not make a detailed mistake in physics. The whole part A was similar to the one that I solved during the year, only three tasks were new. Part B is easy. In part C, always check C5 with bated breath - quantum or electrodynamics. Because the most difficult section is electrodynamics. There I made the mistake of giving the co-function of the angle incorrectly. Well, what to do. I was extremely happy with the points, I was upset only because I did not give my teacher 100 points.

EVERYTHING WAS MUCH EASIER THAN I EXPECTED

Anna Kharchina, 96 points

To begin with, until the 10th grade, I did not understand physics at all. But, when we were offered to choose a profile at school for grades 10-11, I had no option other than physics and mathematics. According to the program, we had two hours of physics per week + four hours of electives. In ordinary lessons, we analyzed the theory, while in electives we dug deeper and solved problems. I am very grateful for my preparation to my school teacher, who gave out the theory in a very accessible and systematized way.

In addition to school classes, I had two hours a week of classes with a tutor. With him, we basically consolidated the issued theory and worked on problem areas. At home, on my own, I solved the problem book from cover to cover.
I would like to advise: to keep accurate notes on the theory, so that everything is immediately laid out in the head on the shelves. Get a notebook with formulas (a thin notebook for foreign words will do): write the formula and unit of measurement there, write down all the formulas in sections (mechanics, molecular, thermodynamics, etc.). The fact that all the formulas are in one place will help both in solving problems and in direct preparation for the exam.

Solve problems from resources on the Internet (but sometimes there are tasks that are not included in school curriculum). Solve not by options, but by problem numbers. For example, you choose the first task, choose a topic, print all tasks on this topic and solve them. If there are no particular problems with parts A and B, then they can be solved as a whole option, but from part C of the problem, I recommend solving it by task numbers (for example, this month I am doing only 27 tasks).
Have a good calculator (costs ~ 800 rubles), which calculates trigonometry and everything else. It is very important to buy it in advance and learn how to use it! If you learn all the functions of the calculator, then you will perform calculations at the click of a finger.
At the exam itself, start with a test, and if something doesn’t work out from there, leave it and move on. Before part C, I advise you to take a break, eat a chocolate bar and the like - give the brain a break. If you can’t solve something in part C, then draw pictures and write the whole theory that relates to this problem (this way you can get two points out of three for the problem). Do not forget that there are no tasks on the exam that are not from school course, and in principle everything should be within your power.
Physics was the most important subject. And most of the time was spent on preparing for it. As a result, physics turned out to be the easiest subject of all that I took (Russian, mathematics profile), and it was for it that I scored the largest number points. I would like to say that due to the cancellation of answer options, the organizers made part C simpler in order to avoid blockages. That is why everything turned out to be much easier than I imagined. I had one mistake in the test and one in part C. All the problems from this part were familiar to me and had already been solved by me, except for one (at number 28), and I could not complete it.
If you are well prepared, do not be afraid, believe in yourself and in your success. Treat the exam like a normal variant solution. As you sit down in the audience, say to yourself mentally: “This is just an option that I need to work hard on right now. I will succeed".
And if you are not well prepared, then you still have enough time to fix it.

Increasingly, parents of schoolchildren are turning to our school with a request to prepare future graduates for the Unified State Examination in English language 2018. Therefore, we decided to write a detailed article in which we will tell you how to prepare for this exam: we will consider its structure and give practical advice to successfully pass each part of the exam, as well as present the best textbooks and online resources to prepare for this difficult test.

What is the USE in English 2018

The USE in English 2018 is a final exam at school, which counts as an entrance exam to a university, which is why it is so important to pass it with a high score. So far, this exam is not mandatory, but if a graduate is going to enter a specialized university, he needs to pass this test.

In terms of structure and level of complexity, the USE is similar to the international FCE exam. This means that in order to successfully pass the student must have a level (above average). This is a high level, so we recommend starting to prepare for the Unified State Examination in English from the 10th grade, then in 2 years the student will be able to master all the necessary amount of material at a normal pace.

In principle, it is possible to prepare for the exam in 1 year, but only if at the time the preparation begins, the student already speaks English at the level (intermediate). Don't know what level a graduate has? Then invite him to pass.

How is the exam in English in 2018? The exam consists of written and oral parts, which are held in different days. On the same day, students take the written part, it includes the following sections: listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. In total, on this day, the graduate needs to complete 40 tasks in 180 minutes. The student can receive a maximum of 20 points for each of the sections. Thus, for this day you can score 80 points.

The second part - oral - takes place on another day and available on request. It lasts only 15 minutes and consists of 4 tasks. On this day, the graduate can earn another 20 points. We strongly advise all graduates to take oral part: in case of unsuccessful answers, you do not lose anything, and in case of successful - earn extra points.

Thus, a graduate in the exam can score a maximum of 100 points. The minimum score to pass the exam is 22 points.

Below we present a table for translating USE scores in English into a five-point system.

The results of the exam are usually published 14 days after the second part of the exam, but in some cases they are already known after 12 days. You can find out your results on the official website of the exam by filling in all the required fields. Paper USE certificates were canceled in 2014, so only electronic certificates are now available.

The structure of the exam in English 2018 and the principles for the successful delivery of each part

In this chapter, we will tell you in detail about what tasks the graduate will have to complete in each part of the exam. In addition, we will give advice from our teachers who prepare students for the exam. By the way, if you are looking for a teacher who will prepare your child for the exam, pay attention to. They have been doing this for more than a year and have developed their own strategy for successful preparation, they know what pitfalls await in the exam, what typical mistakes students make and how to get rid of these mistakes.

As an example, we will present you with a demo version of the exam in English, provided by the official website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements fipi.ru.

listening

The audition lasts 30 minutes and consists of three parts. The first two parts are the first and second tasks, respectively, and the third part is tasks No. 3-9 (out of a total list of 40 tasks).

Listening to the exam in English in 2018 includes 3 audio fragments combined into one recording. The examiners turn on the recording and do not stop it until the very end, however, there are pauses between the fragments to read the tasks and transfer the answers to the form. For each correct answer in this and other parts of the exam, the student receives 1 point. Let's see what the graduate has to do in the audition.

Exercise 1: 7 statements are given. The student listens to 6 statements and correlates them with statements, one of which is superfluous.

6 points.

Example:

Listening task 1

Task 2: 7 statements are given. The student listens to the dialogue and determines which statements correspond to the content of the dialogue (True), which do not correspond (False), and which are not mentioned in it (Not Stated).

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Listening task 2

Task 3: There are 7 questions, each of which has 3 possible answers. The student listens to the audio recording and selects the correct answer for each question.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Listening task 3

Our advice:

  1. When preparing for an exam, you must as many listening assignments as possible in the exam format. So the graduate will get used to quickly read assignments and catch in speech keywords to help you find the right answer.
  2. When choosing an answer, one should rely not on the words mentioned in the speaker's speech, but on the meaning of his words. So, for example, in his speech, he can somehow mention all the answers to the task, but if you delve into what has been said, you can understand that there is only one correct answer.

Reading

Reading lasts 30 minutes and consists of 3 parts (9 tasks). For each part, we advise you to spend no more than 10 minutes to meet the allotted half an hour.

Exercise 1: Given 7 short texts (3-6 sentences each) and 8 headings. You need to read the texts and choose the appropriate heading for each of them. In this case, 1 heading will be superfluous.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Reading task 1

Task 2: Given a text that has 6 gaps. Below are 7 passages, 6 of which must be inserted in place of the gaps.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Reading task 2

Task 3: Dan small text and 7 questions to him. Each question has 4 possible answers, from which you need to choose 1 correct one.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Reading task 3

Our advice:

  1. When completing the first task, you need to look for keywords that will indicate the meaning of the text and help you find the right heading. In addition, often the main point of a paragraph is reflected in the first sentence, and some small details are given in the rest. Therefore, in some cases, you just need to carefully read the first sentence in order to correctly complete the task.
  2. To successfully complete the second task, you need to be well versed in how English is built. complex sentences. The fact is that the missing part in most cases is part of a complex or complex sentence. For example, if a student understands that in the relative clause who is used for people, which for objects, and where for places, he will be able to successfully complete most of the tasks. It also needs to be repeated, for example, that the infinitive is used to express purpose.
  3. In the third task, the questions are arranged in the order in which they are answered in the text. That is, the answer to the first question will be at the beginning of the text, and not in the middle or end, the answer to the second question will be after the answer to the first, etc.

Grammar and vocabulary

This section of the USE in English 2018 tests the knowledge of grammatical structures and vocabulary of the graduate. The student is given 40 minutes to complete it. Let's see what the student has to do.

Exercise 1: Given a text with 7 words missing. To the right of the text are the words that need to be grammatically transformed (for example, put the verb at the right time) and inserted in the gap.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Grammar and vocabulary, task 1

Task 2: Given a text with 6 gaps. On the right are the words that need to be transformed both lexically and grammatically - to form a single-root word that matches the meaning of the text.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Grammar and vocabulary, task 2

Task 3: Given a text with 7 gaps. You need to choose for each of them 1 correct answer out of the four proposed.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Grammar and vocabulary, task 3

Our advice:

  1. The transformation of the word in the first part, as a rule, occurs according to the following principle. If you are given a verb, you must either use it in the correct tense, or put it in the correct voice form (active or passive), or form a participle from it. If an adjective is given, put it in comparative or superlatives. If you need to change a numeral, most likely, you need to make it ordinal.
  2. In the second part, knowledge of suffixes and prefixes, including negative ones, is mainly checked, the ability to form different parts of speech from a single-root word.
  3. In the third part, knowledge of word compatibility, the so-called collocations, is most often checked. In addition, out of 4 words, you will need to choose the most appropriate in meaning, that is, you need to know the difference between similar words, read the context.

Letter

The graduate is given 80 minutes to write and check 2 written papers.

Exercise 1: The text of a short letter from a friend asking questions is given. The student needs to read it and write a response letter: answer the friend's questions and ask questions to him.

Volume: 100-140 words.

Maximum points: 6 points.

Example:

Letter, task 1

A letter to a friend is written in an informal style. The structure of this work is as follows:

  1. Making a "hat"

    In the upper right corner we write the address: on the top line we indicate the city, below it - the country of residence. No need to write the street and house number: this may be regarded as disclosure of confidential information, even if the address is fictitious.

    After the address, skip 1 line and write the date of writing the letter in the same upper right corner.

    Further, as usual, on the left we write an informal appeal: Dear Tom / Jim (name will be given in the task). Hello is not allowed here. After the appeal, put a comma and continue to write the text of the letter from a new line.

  2. Text of the letter

    We start writing each paragraph with a red line.

    In the first paragraph, you need to thank your friend for the letter you received (Thanks a lot for your last letter) and apologize that you did not write earlier (Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long). You can also mention some fact from the received letter.

    In the fourth paragraph, you need to sum up - say that you are finishing the letter (I've got to go now! It's time for my favorite TV show), and offer to keep in touch (Take care and keep in touch!).

  3. End of letter

    At the end, you need to write a final cliche phrase, after which a comma is always placed: All the best, Best wishes, etc.

    On the next line, below this phrase, you enter your name.

Task 2: A statement (usually controversial) is given. The graduate writes an essay in which he discusses this topic, expresses his point of view, and also gives the opposite opinion and explains why he does not agree with it.

Volume: 200-250 words.

Maximum points: 14 points.

Example:

Letter, task 2

Essay is written in neutral style and consists of 5 paragraphs:

  1. Introduction: we formulate the topic-problem and immediately indicate that there are two opposing points of view.
  2. Your opinion: we express our point of view (one) on this issue and give 2-3 arguments that confirm it.
  3. Contrasting opinions: we write 1-2 opposite points of view and give arguments in favor of their existence.
  4. We express disagreement: we explain why we do not agree with the above points of view, and we give arguments in defense of our own opinion. However, they should not repeat the arguments from paragraph 2.
  5. Conclusion: we draw a conclusion on this topic, indicate that there are different points of view, and finally confirm our point of view.

Our advice:

  1. Stick to the required volume. It is permissible to deviate by 10% from the specified number of words, that is, you can write from 90 to 154 words in a letter and from 180 to 275 in an essay. If the graduate writes at least 1 word less (89), he will be given 0 points for the task. If the limit is exceeded, the examiner will count 140 words in a letter or 250 in an essay and will evaluate it, moreover, they will deduct points for work in progress, assignment design, disclosure of the topic, etc.
  2. Avoid paragraphs consisting of one sentence, you need to supplement and argue your every thought. To do this, you can use the constructions In my opinion, I believe, etc.
  3. Follow the style of written work: colloquial expressions like Guess what? or Wish me luck!, and in an essay it is better to stick to a more formal style. It is important not to overdo it with "informality": all sorts of well, cause and slang expressions are unacceptable.
  4. Use linking words, they make the text logical, allow you to complement or contrast sentences.

Oral speech

The oral part of the exam is the shortest, taking only 15 minutes. The graduate needs to have time to complete as many as 4 tasks, for which you can get a maximum of 20 points. The student submits assignments in front of the computer, his answers are recorded using a headset, and the countdown is shown on the screen. At the same time, there is an organizer in the audience who monitors the course of the exam.

Exercise 1: The text of a popular science character is displayed on the screen. In 1.5 minutes you need to prepare and in the next 1.5 minutes expressively read it aloud.

Lead time: no more than 3 minutes.

Maximum points: 1 point

Example:

Oral speech, task 1

Lead time: about 3 minutes.

Maximum points: 5 points.

Example:

Oral speech, task 2

Task 3: Show 3 pictures. You need to choose 1 and describe it according to the plan proposed right there in the task.

Lead time: about 3.5 minutes.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Oral speech, task 3

Task 4: Given 2 pictures. It is necessary to compare them, describe similarities and differences, explain why the chosen topic is close to the graduate.

Lead time: about 3.5 minutes.

Maximum points: 7 points.

Example:

Oral speech, task 4

Our advice:

  1. Take advantage online simulator of the oral part of the exam on the website injaz.ege.edu.ru. It completely simulates the exam, so you get familiar with the format and understand what exactly you need to do, what time to meet, etc.
  2. To complete the first part of the exam, you need take texts on different subjects and learn to read them with the correct expression: there should be pauses in speech, logical stresses, natural intonation. In addition, the graduate must fit in one and a half minutes, because the score is reduced if the text is not read to the end. However, it is also impossible to rush, because it is not the speed of reading that is checked, but the ability to expressively read the text.
  3. To successfully complete the second task, you need learn to ask questions to different texts. In principle, the task itself is elementary, most errors are associated with the loss auxiliary verb or its incorrect agreement with the noun. This problem is easily solved by doing multiple question-writing exercises.
  4. In the third task, the examinee needs to choose 1 photo from 3 offered and describe it. Here's our top tip - read the task carefully. The fact is that it changes a little every year, so learn to respond accordingly to the wording of 2018. In 2018, graduates will have to describe a photo to a friend, that is, the monologue should contain an appeal to him. In addition, it is necessary answer all the questions in the assignment, for example, if it says where and when the photo was taken, you need to answer both questions - where and when. At the beginning, it is necessary to indicate which photo will be discussed (I’ve chosen photo number...). Don't forget about the opening (Would you like to have a look at my picture? / I'd like to show you a picture from my photo album.) and closing (That's all for now. / I hope you liked my picture.) phrases that make speech logical.
  5. In the fourth task, you need to do the main emphasis in speech on comparing pictures and not their description. At the same time, it is necessary use speech clichés: The first picture depicts... whereas/while the second picture depicts..., The main difference is that..., In comparison to the first picture, this one... etc. learn with the help of our article " Phrases for comparison and contrast".

Textbooks and sites for preparing for the exam in English 2018

Now you are familiar with the structure of the exam and understand that graduates will face a difficult test. However, the exam in English in 2018 can be passed easily and successfully if you prepare well for it in advance. And in this the student will be helped first of all by a good teacher, as well as resources for preparing for this exam. We want to introduce you to some of the textbooks and websites that our teachers use when preparing their students for the exam. Take note of at least a few of them.

  1. A series of textbooks Macmillan Exam Skills for Russia includes books on preparation for each part of the exam. With authentic texts and assignments, this series is one of the best for exam preparation. These books are quite difficult, so we recommend studying them for students with a level not lower than Intermediate.
  2. "Model exam USE options edited by Verbitskaya "- exist in various variations, include standard USE assignments with answers. With the help of the book, you can check how well the graduate is ready for the exam.
  3. fipi.ru - the official website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements, which presents a large bank of standard tasks for the exam. On the indicated page, click on the inscription "English" and in the tab that opens on the left, select the skill you want to train. Please note: there are no answers to assignments on the site, therefore, so that the efforts of the graduate are not in vain, we advise you to study with the teacher and send the completed assignments to him for verification.
  4. , talkenglish.com , podcastsinenglish.com - sites with educational podcasts in English. They, of course, do not have standard tasks for the exam, but you can train the skill of listening to speech in an interesting way and get a little distracted from the same type of tasks for the exam.

Our teacher Natalya has already prepared more than a dozen excellent students for the exam in English, in her article “Exam, be good to me, or How to successfully pass the exam in English”, she shares her personal experience and advice for graduates.

So, now you imagine the amount of work and know the secrets of successfully passing the exam in English. We wish all graduates easy exams and high scores! And if you have not found a suitable teacher yet, sign up with us at.

Not only schoolchildren of our country are familiar with the concept of the USE but also their parents. Everyone knows that this is a centrally organized holding of a unified state exam on the same day and at the same time for all secondary educational institutions our state. Such an exam plays the role of both graduation and entrance exams for universities.

Its features are:

  • application of tasks of the same type;
  • a unified system for assessing examination papers.

The results of the state exam are recorded in the relevant document - a certificate, or, as it is commonly called by the people, a certificate. From it you can find out how many points, and in what subjects the graduate received. Also, anyone can retake the unified state exam in subsequent years.

Rules for conducting the exam in 2018

The official information portal "USE.ru" has been operating for several years, where anyone can get acquainted with the following information:

  • what is the unified state exam;
  • what are the rules for its implementation;
  • how many items are required;
  • Is there any news regarding the Unified State Examination by country and regions.

In addition, the portal contains many useful information and for the participants of the state exam, and for those entering universities.

One of important points in preparation for the unified state exam, there is an acquaintance with the rules for its conduct in 2018, which it is highly undesirable to violate. They include the following key points:

  1. Where and at what time the participants take exams - in centers specially equipped for this, the beginning of the tests is scheduled for all the same - at 10.00.
  2. Is it forbidden to leave the audience during the course of the test - you can leave accompanied by a responsible person, and only for a good reason (at this time, the work of the participant is handed over to the observer, who makes a note in it).
  3. How to fill out the examination form correctly - all entries are made with a black helium-paste pen (for example, an example of writing numbers and letters is given in the form), starting filling out the answer field from the first cell.
  4. How to correct the mistakes made - it is forbidden to paint over the field with a proofreader or erase with an eraser; a special field is provided for corrections on the form.
  5. Do I need documents to prove the identity of the participant - an identity document is required (most often this is a passport).
  6. What can be used during the state exam - rulers, calculators, protractors, reference materials (at tests in mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, foreign languages).
  7. Is it possible to retake the state exam when receiving a low result - since last year this can be done in compulsory subjects.

If observers or organizers notice violations of the rules for conducting the exam, the violator will be asked to stop performing tasks and leave. In this case, a corresponding entry is made in the minutes of the state examination and in the examination form of the participant.

Innovations in the USE-2018

This year, the Ministry of Education decided to change some of the rules for passing the unified state exam:

  1. The number of attempts to retake tests in the main subjects (Russian language and mathematics) has been increased - up to 3 times a year, which depends on the desire of the participant himself.
  2. From KIMs in history, social studies, geography, computer science and ICT, questions that require an unambiguous choice of the correct answer have been excluded (this was already done in 2015 with assignments in two compulsory subjects).
  3. History is not given in the form of test questions, but in the form of an essay on the relevant topic.
  4. Universities themselves can increase the passing scores for admission, which should not be lower than the number of points officially established in the region.

Such an update of the rules in 2018, according to psychologists, will reduce the psychological burden on participants in state exams.

Subjects and tasks for the Unified State Exam-2018

Often, school graduates in our country ask the question: how many compulsory subjects are submitted to the exam in 2018? Experts answer: two - mathematics and Russian. Physics and a foreign language have not yet been introduced as mandatory this year, they can be chosen so far at will. In addition to the four listed, chemistry, computer science and ICT, biology, history, geography, social studies, and literature are also offered for delivery (these subjects are not mandatory).

Tasks for state tests are called KIM (control measuring materials). Their demos for all 11 subjects for 2018 can be found on the official website of the USE http://www.ege.edu.ru/ru/main/demovers/. But it should be borne in mind: only demo options are collected here (starting from 2009)! They are for informational purposes, so that anyone who wishes can understand the structure of the tasks (that is, they have an idea of ​​the form of the questions, their level of complexity, and the correctness of the written answers).

USE-2018 results and their validity period

Today, questions regarding the results of unified exams remain relevant for students of secondary educational institutions.

Information about the officially established minimum limits for USE scores for admission to universities in our state is provided on the website "USE.ru" http://www.ege.edu.ru/ru/universities-colleges/min_points_for/. You can also check the preliminary test results here.

As for the validity of the certificate with the results of state exams for admission, this period is 4 years (this rule was introduced in 2013). It is easy to calculate: the results of the USE for 2018 are valid until 2022, for 2019 - until 2023, and for 2020 - until 2024. After this period, there will again be a need to pass the unified state exam. It should be remembered that the validity period also takes into account the month of passing the tests, that is, if you passed them in May and June 2018, then in July 2022 the results will be invalid.

As part of our website, there is a special offer: you can use the advice of our corporate lawyer for free. All you need to do is to leave your question in the form below.

The Unified State Examination is a standardized form of final examinations for students of secondary schools. A number of such exams, for example, Russian language and mathematics, are mandatory, while from other subjects the student can independently choose to pass those that are familiar to him better than others.

Despite the generally standard form of the exam, the details of its organization change somewhat from year to year. Rosobrnadzor is responsible for reviewing these details, which analyzes the results of tests conducted in previous years and clarifies the procedure for conducting them in next year in order to provide students with the conditions for passing the exam, allowing them to maximize the knowledge acquired over the years of study. In each specific year, the rules for conducting the exam, including the list of examination subjects, the time allotted for writing the exam for each of them, and other parameters, are approved by a special order.

USE duration

The total length of time allotted for completing the tasks of the unified state exam in a particular subject is also determined by Rosobrnadzor depending on several factors, for example, the complexity of the examination tasks, the total amount of material that a student needs to know in order to successfully pass the exam, and others. At the same time, the duration of time for the exam includes only the time of work on assignments: preliminary briefing, opening of envelopes with texts and other preparatory procedures are not taken into account in the total duration of the exam.

The time allotted for writing different exams can vary significantly. So, in 2014, the shortest period of time, amounting to only three hours, that is, 180 minutes, was allotted for completing USE tasks in such subjects as biology, geography, chemistry and foreign languages. Thus, all subjects belonging to this category were subjects taken by students by choice.

In 2014, 3.5 hours, that is, 210 minutes, were allocated for completing assignments in one of the compulsory subjects - the Russian language, as well as for writing exams in history and social science. At the same time, in the category of the longest exams, the duration of which was 235 minutes, one of the compulsory subjects is mathematics, and along with it - physics, computer science and literature. At the same time, it should be noted that earlier the time allotted for completing tasks in these subjects was 240 minutes, but in 2012 Rosobrnadzor decided to reduce this period of time by 5 minutes in connection with sanitary norms and rules.

For high school graduates. It must be taken by those who plan to enter universities for the most promising specialties, such as information security, automation and control, nanotechnology, systems analysis and control, rocket systems and astronautics, nuclear physics and technology, and many others.

Read the general information about the exam and start preparing. There are practically no changes compared to last year in the new version of KIM USE 2019. The only thing is that fragments of programs written in the C language disappeared from the tasks: they were replaced with fragments written in the C++ language. And from task number 25, they removed the opportunity to write an algorithm in natural language as an answer.

Last year, in order to pass the Unified State Examination in Informatics, at least for the top three, it was enough to score 42 primary points. They were given, for example, for the correctly completed first 9 tasks of the test.

How it will be in 2019 is still not known for sure: you need to wait for an official order from Rosobrnadzor on the correspondence of primary and test scores. Most likely it will appear in December. Given that the maximum primary score for the entire test has remained the same, most likely will not change and minimum score. Let's take a look at these tables:

USE test structure

Informatics is the longest exam (the same is the duration of the exam in mathematics and literature), the duration is 4 hours.

In 2019, the test consists of two parts, including 27 tasks.

  • Part 1: 23 tasks (1-23) with a short answer, which is a number, a sequence of letters or numbers.
  • Part 2: 4 tasks (24–27) with a detailed answer, the full solution of the tasks is recorded on the answer sheet 2.

All tasks are connected in one way or another with a computer, but it is not allowed to use it to write a program in the tasks of group C during the exam. In addition, the tasks do not require complex mathematical calculations and the use of a calculator is also not allowed.

Preparation for the exam

  • Pass the USE tests online for free without registration and SMS. The presented tests are identical in their complexity and structure to the real exams held in the corresponding years.
  • Download demo versions of the Unified State Examination in Informatics, which will allow you to better prepare for the exam and make it easier to pass it. All proposed tests are developed and approved for preparation for the exam Federal Institute pedagogical measurements (FIPI). In the same FIPI, all official versions of the exam are being developed.
    The tasks that you will see, most likely, will not be found on the exam, but there will be tasks similar to the demo ones, on the same topic or simply with different numbers.
