Average exam score for the year. How USE scores differ by region: student results and regional inequality. Application Rules

The score determines the possibility of admission to your chosen university, the opportunity to study at the expense of the budget, and access to other preferences. Therefore, many people are interested in what the average Unified State Examination points for Russia as a whole?

Average USE scores 2017 from open sources

The average score for all Russians who passed the Unified State Examination in 2017 in compulsory subjects was:
- in mathematics - 47.1;
- in Russian language - 69.06.
Average scores in additional subjects:
- By foreign language - 70,1;
- in biology - 52.57;
- in geography - 55.15;
- in computer science - 59.18;
- in history - 56.9;
- in literature - 59.68;
- in social studies - 55.44;
- in physics - 53.16;
- in chemistry - 60.
These are the statistics from the resources of the Ministry of Education and Science, Rosstat, and regional websites of educational institutions.

How USE results differ by region

According to statistics, the average score in Russia in any subject is not lower than 47, however, if we take a narrower cross-section - by region - the numbers vary greatly. The Central Federal District traditionally leads in academic performance, especially in compulsory Russian and mathematics. Taking into account the fact that Moscow and St. Petersburg have the most developed funding for educational institutions and healthy competition in the field of education, schoolchildren in the capital and St. Petersburg have much better preparation for the Unified State Exam, and the level of education itself is higher than in other cities of Russia. That is why, in the Central Federal District, the indicator for the Russian language is 74 points, and for mathematics – 53 points.

The worst results in the Unified State Examination were shown by students with Far East, the average result in Russian there is 42 points, in mathematics - 32 points.

How many points do you need to get admitted to the budget?

Students enrolled in budget-funded departments of universities throughout Russia in 2017 scored 68.2 points and above; in 2016, the score was slightly lower - 66.6.
According to the Ministry of Education, to enroll in , it was necessary to score 76.2 and 75.8, respectively.

The Russian government has repeatedly announced upcoming changes in the field of education, the upcoming optimization educational process, about increased budgeting in this area. According to officials' expectations, in the regions the level of education will be closer to the capital's, which means that schoolchildren will have equal chances of achieving a high score in the Unified State Examination, regardless of their region of residence.

Average USE score in mathematics basic level was 4.24 in 2017, reports the press service of Rosobrnadzor.

“The average score on the Unified State Exam in basic mathematics in 2017 differs slightly from the result of last year: it was 4.24 points (in 2016 - 4.15 points)”, - the message says. A total of 543 thousand people took part in the basic level mathematics exam this year.

It is also reported that the average score of Unified State Examination participants in geography did not change significantly, the increase was 1 point - to 55.1 points, which is comparable to 2016. These data are preliminary.

“The number of participants who failed to pass the minimum score of 37 points established for this subject decreased to 9.3% from 13% in 2016. In total, year of the Unified State Exam In geography, about 14 thousand people took the test during the main period.", - explained the press service.

As for the Unified State Examination in computer science and ICT, the average score here increased by almost 3 points - to 59.2 in 2017 from 56.6 in 2016. The number of participants who did not overcome the minimum threshold of 40 points decreased by 2.5% - up to 9.3% (in 2016 - 12.4%). Total number There were about 53 thousand participants in the Unified State Examination in computer science.

Earlier, the head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science, Sergei Kravtsov, told reporters that the number of those who did not overcome the minimum Unified State Exam threshold in basic mathematics decreased by 25% in 2017.

/ Friday, June 9, 2017 /

The Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science has completed processing the results of the first Unified State Exams of 2017: in computer science, geography and basic level mathematics.

“Thanks to the large-scale implementation of scanning technology for answer forms of Unified State Exam participants at exam points, for the first time since the unified state exam, we were able to significantly reduce the time required to check exam papers.”, - noted the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergei Kravtsov.

Today, all results for the first three exams will be transferred to the regions, and from June 10, which is four days earlier than the deadline, graduates will be able to find out them through their personal accounts on the Unified State Exam portal - ege.edu.ru. The results of the Unified State Examination in basic level mathematics demonstrated a reduction in the number of participants who failed to overcome the minimum barrier to obtain a certificate (get at least 3 points out of 5). In 2017, their number decreased to 3.4% from 4.6% a year earlier.

Three regions showed positive dynamics of results, where previous years there was a significant percentage of graduates who failed to achieve the minimum score. In the Republic of Tyva, the number of graduates who did not pass the minimum threshold decreased by 2 times, in the Chechen Republic - by a third, in the Republic of Dagestan - by a quarter. The improvement in results was facilitated by their participation in the “I will pass the Unified State Exam” project, which has been implemented for the third year in regions where a significant number of graduates had difficulties passing the compulsory Unified State Exam subjects.

. . . . .

The results of the Unified State Examination in computer science and ICT are also comparable to the results of last year. . . . . .



Specialists of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science processed the answer forms of participants in the Unified State Exams in basic level mathematics, geography, computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT).

. . . . .

Information about the results of the first three exams will be transmitted to the regions today. Graduates will be able to find out their results in personal account on information portal The Unified State Exam www.ege.edu.ru is already on June 10 - this is four days earlier than the deadline.

The number of those who did not score three out of five points in basic level mathematics required to obtain a certificate dropped to 3.4 percent in 2017. A year earlier, this figure was 4.6 percent.

Positive dynamics were demonstrated by three regions in which many graduates of previous years did not reach the required indicators. Thus, in the Republic of Tyva there were two times fewer such people, in the Chechen Republic - by a third, in the Republic of Dagestan - by a quarter. The results improved thanks to participation in the project “I will pass the Unified State Exam”. This is the third year that it has been implemented in regions where graduates had difficulty passing compulsory subjects.

. . . . . The average score differs slightly from last year’s result - 4.24 points (in 2016 - 4.15).

The average Unified State Exam result in geography - today it is 55.1 points, which is one point higher than last year. There are fewer schoolchildren who did not receive the minimum 37 points - 9.3 percent compared to last year . . . . .

The average Unified State Examination result in computer science and ICT increased by almost three points. Now it is 59.2 points instead of the previous 56.6. 9.3 percent of graduates did not pass the minimum threshold of 40 points, while in 2016 this figure was 12.4 percent. About 53 thousand people took the Unified State Exam in computer science.


The number of Unified State Exam participants who did not pass the minimum threshold in basic mathematics decreased by 25% in 2017. Sergei Kravtsov, head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor), told reporters about this.

“In basic mathematics, we have a serious decrease in the number of those who have not overcome the minimum threshold - by 25%, which is 5.5 thousand more schoolchildren.”, - said S. Kravtsov.

At the end of May during the main period passed the Unified State Exam in basic level mathematics. About 561 thousand people became its participants


This year Russian schoolchildren passed the Unified State exam in mathematics, geography and computer science are better than in 2016. This is evidenced by data from Rosobrnadzor. As noted by the head of the federal service, Sergei Kravtsov, the large-scale implementation of scanning technology for answer forms has made it possible to significantly reduce the time required for checking work.

According to the results of the inspections, the number of graduates who did not pass the basic-level mathematics exam with a passing grade decreased from 4.6 percent last year to 3.4 percent. Experts noted significant improvements in three regions where previously many schoolchildren did not reach the required minimum - in Tyva, Chechnya and Dagestan. The number of graduates who failed the threshold in the other two exams also decreased.

The average score in mathematics increased from 4.15 to 4.24 points. Computer science and ICT also passed better - on average, graduates pass the exam with 59.2 points, and last year this figure was 56.6 points. There are no significant changes in geography - Unified State Exam participants passed the exam with an average of 55.1 points, which is 1 point higher than last year's result.

Graduates will be able to find out their results on June 10, 4 days ahead of schedule, as specified on the Rosobrnadzor website.


Long gone are the days when exams received marks of “excellent”, “good”, “satisfactory”. For more than ten years, the Unified State Exam has been a mandatory form of testing for graduates, which does not require assessment on a five-point scale. Now it consists of counting points, the sum of which is determined by pre-specified criteria. In addition, they are recalculated in the secondary system: the maximum here is 100. The result of such a single test for each student depends on the quality of knowledge and general preparation, which includes perseverance, attentiveness, the ability to compare facts and reason about them systematically, logical thinking, etc. .

Rating calculation

Performance statistics are usually carried out for the entire country, a specific region, a specific city or school. It is conducted by the Ministry of Education and Rosobrnadzor to determine the degree of proficiency in a particular subject and the dynamics of changes over time.

The most difficult subject to pass is still mathematics. Since 2015, 2 levels were introduced: basic and profile level, the last of which still causes significant difficulties. However, this year the average increased by 2.5 points (to about 50), and the number of children who failed to complete the tasks decreased.

From 2011 to 2018 The average score changed as follows:

Russian language – increase from 61 to 70.9.

This increase is typical only for this discipline. Over time, there are fewer and fewer students who failed to overcome the required threshold. Such dynamics can only make us happy, since speaking one’s native language and knowing its fundamentals and rules has never harmed anyone; it is an important component in studies, in the profession, and in personal development.

For the rest, the values ​​vary every year, there is an alternation of growth and decline:

Social studies - from 56 to 62.5;
Physics - from 45 to 53;
History – from 46 to 56.9;
Biology - from 52 to 58.6;
Chemistry - from 54 to 67.8;
English – from 61 to 70.1;
Computer science - from 54 to 63.1;
Literature - from 51 to 59.7;
Geography – from 53 to 57.3.

Why know the average?

All high school students know that it is not enough to pass the Unified State Exam just like that. To become a student in the future, you need to score a certain amount of points. This becomes even more relevant if you plan to enroll in a budget department, where the competition for a place is significantly higher.

Already at the stage of preparation for final tests, find out about the Unified State Examination for admission to the selected university on a budget. So you will focus on this peculiar point. Perhaps you will begin to prepare more intensively. This will help you set your sights on the future and avoid false hopes and disappointments.

There is a concept of a passing grade in higher education educational institution. This is the minimum amount for which an applicant can be enrolled. This is always official information that is in the public domain and published on the website educational institution. It would be advisable to first familiarize yourself with it and draw conclusions. The coefficient for the Unified State Examination is calculated using the same principle: the total result is divided by the number of exams passed.

Keep in mind that if you plan to enter a capital university that has particular prestige, the coefficient will be high. If it is more than 80, you can apply for admission to almost any university in the country; the most “status” ones accept applicants with a score above 90, from 60 to 80 – to regional ones, which are no worse than others and also provide a high-quality education.

Specialties that you can count on depending on personal “achievements”:

75-80 – jurisprudence, economics, political science, journalism;
75 – international relations, foreign linguistics;
70-75 – philosophy, philology, medicine, design;
65-70 – pedagogy, psychology, chemical and biological specialties;
up to 60 – transport, Agriculture, food technologies;
up to 55 – maritime affairs, forestry, metallurgy.

In 2018, an approximate scale of the relationship between the results of final tests and the requirements for enrollment was proposed:

111,748 people took part in the 2017 Unified State Exam in Biology, which is slightly less than the number of exam participants in 2016 (126,006) and 2015 (122,936). The biology exam is traditionally in demand and is one of the five elective final exams.

The exam is chosen by biology-motivated Unified State Exam participants entering medical universities, veterinary and agricultural academies, psychological and biological faculties of pedagogical universities and universities, institutes physical culture and sports.

Average USE test score in biology 2017-2015

Source of information document from the official website of FIPI - METHODOLOGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS for teachers, prepared based on an analysis of typical mistakes of participants in the 2017 Unified State Exam in BIOLOGY

In 2017 average test score amounted to 52.57 and was 0.6 higher than in 2016 (51.97), but 1.07 lower than in 2015 (53.64). A slight increase in the average test score may be due primarily to a change in the number of participants in the main period of the Unified State Exam, in which there were no graduates from previous years, whose results, as a rule, were significantly lower than the results of graduates of the current year.

The data obtained indicate that changing the CMM model did not lead to a change general level complexity of the work.

Minimum test score in 2017, as in previous years, was 36 points, and the primary one was 16 points. In 2017, the share of Unified State Examination in Biology participants who did not score minimum score, amounted to 17.97% (in 2016 – 18.35%).

A reduction of 2 in the maximum primary score while maintaining the minimum limit indicates an increase in the requirements for the quality of biological training of Unified State Exam participants. Completed all tasks in 2017 exam paper and 75 participants scored 100 points, which is 14 people more than in 2016.

The share of 100-point students has remained at approximately the same level for several years, which indicates the comparable complexity of the Unified State Exam KIM in different years.

In 2017, the total share of participants in the Russian Federation who received above 80 test scores, amounted to 6.54%, which is comparable to the results of 2016 (7.16%). A slight decrease (by 0.7%) in the share of high-scoring students (in the range of 81–100) can be associated primarily with a change in the model and a general improvement in the measuring properties of the Unified State Examination CMM in biology, as well as with the expansion of the range of monitoring the knowledge and skills of Unified State Examination participants. The data obtained indicate both a sufficient level of complexity of the new CMM model in biology, the accessibility of its implementation, and sufficiently serious preparation for the exam of highly motivated graduates.

At the same time, compared to 2016, the proportion of participants who scored less than 20 test points (3.21%) increased by 0.85%, which is explained by the absence of tasks with the choice of one correct answer, where there was the possibility of randomly guessing the correct answer. In addition, the proportion of participants who scored test scores in the ranges 41–60 and 61–80, amounted to 37.3% and 27.91%, respectively, which is slightly higher (0.9% and 1.8%) than in 2016. This can be explained by an improvement in the average level of biological preparation of Unified State Examination participants.


The average score on the Unified State Examination is calculated from the sum of the points scored by all students divided by the number of Unified State Examination participants. Thus, you can find out the average Unified State Examination score in all subjects. Also, if possible, we will consider the number of graduates who were unable to recruit minimal amount points and the number of those who managed to score all 100 points.


Average USE score in physics 2018
