The minimum number of exam points. Translation of USE scores: A detailed description of the assessment system. How the USE results are assessed

The transfer of USE points is made after the initial result is calculated, on the basis of the approved scale, it is converted into test points.

They play an important role in admission to a university and are recorded in the certificate of passing the exam.

Those who graduate from grade 11 and are preparing to enter the university are especially interested in learning how the translation is carried out scoring Unified State Exam.

Hundreds of thousands of students undergo this procedure every year. To obtain a certificate, it is enough to pass only two subjects - mathematics and Russian.

The rest of the subjects - and there are a total of 14 - are handed over on a voluntary basis, depending on the chosen university.

In order for the results to be displayed in the certificate, the graduate needs to score more than the established minimum.

How the USE results are assessed

The exam results are evaluated by the commission and transferred to a 100-point system.

There is an algorithm for converting these amounts into more familiar estimates. This method has not been officially applied since 2009.

But if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with the scale of translation of USE grades.

The evaluation of the results is carried out in two stages:

  • according to the number of tasks completed, the student is given a primary score. It consists of the sum for all tasks completed correctly;
  • then the translation is carried out primary points Unified state exam in test. This figure is recorded in the USE certificate and plays an important role for admission to a university. Below is a translation table for the mathematics exam.

Important: the scale is designed taking into account the complexity of the tasks.

You can always get up-to-date information on the Unified State Exam on the portal http://ege.edu.ru/ru.

What is the minimum score

To receive the USE certificate, a student needs to score more than the established minimum limit in Russian language and mathematics.

It is determined annually for each individual subject. In fact, the minimum score is the equivalent of a three.

This result reflects that the student has mastered the curriculum satisfactorily.

Minimum score:

  1. Determines the issuance of a certificate of passing the exam.
  2. It is established for each subject annually after passing the exam and before the results are published.

At the end of 2016, in order to obtain a certificate, it was necessary to obtain at least 36 test points in the Russian language.

In mathematics, this border is 3, and in the profile level - 27.

Difference between primary scores and test scores

When evaluating the results of passing the exam, the initial amount is set first. Then, these points of the USE 2017 are converted into test ones.

They are determined on a 100-point scale. This mark will be included in the USE certificate if it is higher than the minimum.

When calculating points, the algorithm is as follows:

  1. For each correctly completed task, one or more points are awarded.
  2. At the end, the amount for the entire work is calculated.
  3. The primary USE scores are being translated.

With regard to test scores, they are calculated on a 100-point system. But the sum of the primary ones may differ for different items.

For example, in mathematics, you can get 30 primary points, and for foreign languages this border is 80.

The assessment of the assignment depends on its complexity. For the tasks of part B, one primary point is awarded for the correct answer.

For part C, there are several options: for tasks 1 and 2, 2 primary points are awarded, the correct answer to question 3 and 4 gives 3 at once, and tasks 5 and 6 will add 4 points to the student's result.

USE scores and grades

Although there is an approximate scale for converting USE scores into grades familiar to all students, since 2009 this system has not been applied.

The refusal to transfer to grades is due to the fact that the amount of points does not affect the indicator in the certificate. It is recorded in a separate certificate.

In the event that a student scored less than the minimum in one of the compulsory subjects, he will not be issued a certificate or a certificate.

If this is a subject of those that are surrendered on a voluntary basis, the result simply will not be counted anywhere.

If the exam results in an unsatisfactory mark, what should be done? It all depends on what subject.

  1. If the number of points scored is below the minimum in mathematics or in the Russian language, you can retake the exam in the same year on one of the reserve days.
  2. When an unsatisfactory mark is obtained in both subjects at once, retaking is possible only next year.
  3. If you did not manage to score enough points in an optional subject, you can retake the exam only next year. An unsatisfactory result will not be reflected in any document. In fact, everything will look as if the graduate did not pass this exam at all.

Depending on the subject, retake is possible either in the same year on reserve days, or in the next.

Thus, if a student does not pass mathematics at the basic level, he / she can take advantage of reserve days.

And if the low score is based on the results profile level, retake will be possible only in a year.

What to do if the graduate does not agree with the assessment

If a graduate is confident that his work deserves a higher mark, he has the right to appeal.

In such a situation, the work will be re-examined by the conflict commission.

There are two possible outcomes. When a grade appears to be undervalued, the student can either add or remove points.

Important: according to the results of the exam in 2010, of all appeals filed, the third part was satisfied.

The first two parts of the exam are tested without human intervention. The possibility of errors cannot be ruled out.

This may be due to illegible handwriting and similar circumstances.

If the grade appears to be an underestimate, students appeal.

What the exam consists of

The general text of the assignment consists of three parts.

  1. Part A is written as a test. The graduate needs to choose the correct one out of the four suggested answers.
  2. In part B, the following types of tasks are possible: writing a one-word answer, choosing several correct options, or establishing correspondences.
  3. In part C, the student is asked to give a detailed answer to the question.

Depending on the type of task, the check progress differs. The first two parts are checked automatically. The responses are scanned by the system and graded.

This process takes place without human participation. Upon completion of the verification, the results are sent to the testing center located in Moscow.

Part C is assessed by two independent experts. If the results match, this total is set.

If a slight discrepancy is found after the evaluation, the average result is displayed.

If there is a noticeable inconsistency, a third specialist is appointed.

After completing the verification, all data is sent to a single testing center. There they are processed and recorded in the database.

From there they are sent to the schools where the exam was taken.

How Unified State Exam Results Affect University Admission

In order to apply for admission to a university, graduates need to take the Unified State Exam.

In total, you can apply to 5 universities, in each of them no more than three specialties.

The application is prepared in writing and handed over personally, or sent by mail.

If you choose the second option, you will need to issue a certified letter with a description of the attachment, as well as a receipt acknowledgment.

To find out whether the application was satisfied, you need to go to the official website of the university.

When the acceptance of documents is completed, there is a list of those who apply for admission. Their results of passing the exam are also given there.

Enrollment takes place in two waves.

  1. When the first list is published, several days are allotted for applicants to be able to provide the originals of their documents (in most cases, they send copies).
  2. If the deadline for the provision of documents has ended, but there are still free places, a second list is prepared.

To enter the university, you will need the following package of documents:

  • application requesting admission;
  • certified copies of the passport and identity document;
  • a form with a list of points scored based on the USE results;
  • photographs (their size and number are established by the rules of the university).

Other documents may also be required from the applicant. To receive detailed information, you need to contact the university of interest.

The transfer of USE points in 2017 is carried out according to the same system as in previous years.

To pass the exam, you need to type at least minimal amount points, which is set for each subject annually.

To get a certificate and a certificate with the results of the exam, you need to exceed this limit in compulsory subjects.

How to translate primary scores in the test exam 2015 in Russian

In 2015 year of the exam for the first time in mathematics I passed at two levels - basic and specialized. According to the results of the exam, it was noted that schoolchildren cope worse with tasks in which a detailed answer is required than with tasks with short answers, which is understandable - after all, in addition to the correct solution in these tasks, it is also necessary to show the ability to correctly formulate thoughts and express the course of the solution, that requires additional training from the student. Despite the fact that this year the schoolchildren coped with the planimetric problems a little better on the profile-level exam than in the previous one, the geometric component of the students' training remains at a lower level than the algebraic one, which causes difficulties in solving practical stereometric problems. Also, many difficulties are caused by tasks on mathematical analysis, as in previous years.

In general, there was some improvement in the exam results due to the fact that there was a separation of students with different levels of mathematical training and motivation, as well as weaknesses and knowledge gaps were found among those with a good level of knowledge in mathematics. This will allow teachers to focus on these points as they prepare for next year's exam.

After analyzing the received USE results, the KIM developers excluded from the USE tasks in 2016 two tasks with short answers - a practical task and a stereometry task. At the same time, the time for completing tasks remained the same, which will allow spending more time on solving complex problems with a detailed answer, because at the 2015 exam, many schoolchildren did not have enough time specifically for these tasks, the successful completion of which has a much stronger effect on the exam results.

Below is the scale for translating the primary USE scores in mathematics at the 2015 profile level. On its basis, an approximate scale for translating the primary USE scores in mathematics in 2016 was compiled, which can be guided by when preparing for the upcoming exam, not forgetting that it is only approximate and may differ from the scale by which the results will actually be assessed.
