2018-2019 academic year will be a graduation ceremony for many Russian schoolchildren, who are already concerned about successfully passing the Unified State Exam and successfully entering a good university.
We will tell you how exam papers are checked in different subjects, how the scale for converting Unified State Exam points into grades works, and what innovations you can expect in 2019.
Principles for assessing work on the Unified State Exam 2019
Over the course of several recent years The Unified State Examination system in a number of subjects has undergone significant changes and has been brought to an optimal (according to the organizers) format, which makes it possible to fully assess the volume of knowledge of a graduate in a particular subject.
In 2018-2019, no fundamental changes are expected and it is safe to say that the same principles as in 2017-2018 will be applied to evaluate the work of graduates:
- automated verification of forms;
- involving experts in checking tasks with detailed answers.
How does a computer evaluate?
First part exam paper involves a short answer to the questions posed, which the Unified State Exam participant must enter on a special answer form.
Important! Before starting work, be sure to read the rules for filling out the form, as incorrectly completed work will not pass the automated check.
It is quite difficult to challenge the result of a computer check. If the work was not counted due to the fault of a participant who filled out the form incorrectly, the result is considered unsatisfactory.
How do experts rate it?
In many subjects, in addition to the test part, there are tasks that require a full, detailed answer. Since it is impossible to automate the process of checking such answers, experts are involved in the verification - experienced teachers with extensive work experience.
When checking the Unified State Exam, the teacher does not know (and even with a strong desire cannot find out) whose work is in front of him and in which city (region) it was written. Testing is carried out on the basis of uniform assessment criteria developed specifically for each subject. Each work is checked by two experts. If the experts’ opinions coincide, the assessment is put on the form, but if independent appraisers disagree, then a third expert is involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.
That is why it is important to write legibly and accurately so that there is no ambiguous interpretation of words and phrases.
Primary and test scores
Based on the test results, the Unified State Exam participant is awarded a certain number of primary points, which are then converted into text points (points for the entire test). Different subjects have different maximum primary points, depending on the number of tasks. But after giving the result according to the appropriate table, the Unified State Examination participant receives a final test score, which is the official result of his final tests (maximum 100 points).
So, in order to pass the exam, it is enough to achieve the established minimum threshold of the primary score:
Minimum scores |
||
primary | test |
|
Russian language | ||
Mathematics (profile) | ||
Computer science | ||
Social science | ||
Foreign languages | ||
Biology | ||
Geography | ||
Literature | ||
Based on these numbers, you can accurately understand that the exam has been passed. But what grade? The 2018 online scale will help you with this, designed specifically for converting primary Unified State Exam scores into test scores, which will also be relevant for the 2019 results. A convenient calculator can be found on the website 4ege.ru.
Announcement of official results
Graduates are always concerned with the question of how quickly they can find out what result was obtained during the test and what the scale for converting the points scored on the Unified State Exam into traditional grades will be in 2019.
Teachers often take it upon themselves to reassure students by working through the tasks of the Unified State Exam tickets immediately after the exam and assessing the quality of the students’ work and the amount of initial points scored. Official results must be waited for 8-14 days, according to the established regulations for the Unified State Exam 2019. On average, organizers approve the following inspection schedules:
- 3 days to check the work;
- 5-6 days for processing information at the federal level;
- 1 working day for approval of the results of the State Examination;
- 3 days to post results online and transfer data to educational institutions.
In the event of unforeseen situations and technical problems, these deadlines may be revised.
You can find out your owl score:
- directly at your school;
- on the portal check.ege.edu.ru;
- on the website gosuslugi.ru.
Converting points to grades
Since 2009, Unified State Examination results are not included in the graduate certificate. Therefore, today there is no official state system converting the Unified State Examination result into a grade on a school 5-point scale. As part of the entrance campaign, the test score obtained in the exam is always summed up and taken into account. But many students are still interested in finding out how they passed the exam - 3 or 4, 4 or 5. For this, there is a special table that details the correspondence for each of the 100 points in each subject.
Russian language | ||||
Mathematics | ||||
Computer science | ||||
Social science | ||||
Foreign languages | ||||
Biology | ||||
Geography | ||||
Literature | ||||
Using such a table is quite inconvenient. It is much easier to find out how you passed the Russian language, mathematics or history by using the online calculator 4ege.ru, which also contains a scale for converting Unified State Exam scores, which is relevant for graduates of 2019.
Having received the Unified State Exam result, you should decide on a university as quickly as possible, comparing your capabilities with the real competition for the specialties you are interested in. Thus, the practice of past years shows that in some cases it is difficult to get into the most popular areas in the capital’s universities even with high scores, because not only holders of 100-point Unified State Exam results, but also winners of the largest Olympiads of the 2018-2019 academic year will compete for places.

The examination paper consists of two parts containing 26 tasks.
Part 1 contains 25 tasks, part 2 contains 1 task.
3.5 hours (210 minutes) are allotted to complete the examination work in the Russian language.
The answers to tasks 1–25 are a figure (number) or a word (several words), a sequence of numbers (numbers).
Assessment system for examination work in the Russian language
Part 1 For correct completion of tasks 2–6, 8–14, 16–24, the examinee receives 1 point. For an incorrect answer or lack thereof, 0 points are given. For completing tasks 1 and 15, you can score from 0 to 2 points.
The answer that contains all the numbers from the standard and no other numbers is considered correct. 1 point is given if: one of the numbers indicated in the answer does not correspond to the standard; one of the numbers specified in the answer template is missing. In all other cases, 0 points are given.
For completing task 7, you can score from 0 to 5 points. For completing task 25, you can score from 0 to 4 points. The answer that contains all the numbers from the standard and no other numbers is considered correct.
For each correctly indicated number corresponding to a number from the list, the examinee receives 1 point.
Part 2
The maximum number of points for all written work (K1–K12) is 24
Every graduate who wants to become a student at one of the Russian universities in 2018 faces the difficult task of successfully passing the Unified State Exam, as well as choosing the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. Most 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed light on important points.
In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the Unified State Exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point assessment system for final tests will still be relevant for graduates.
How is everything going?
During the verification of examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is given so-called “primary points”, which upon completion of the verification of the work are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate.
Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting the primary and test scores of the Unified State Exam into the traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate.
Work verification is performed in two ways:
- automatically (using special programs and technical means);
- manually (the correctness of detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).
Dispute the result automatic check It's hard enough. If the basic rules were not followed when filling out the answer table, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself will be to blame for this, for not following a number of mandatory rules.
If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.
When can I expect results?
The following time frames apply by law:
- data processing (for compulsory subjects) in the RCIO should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
- RCIO is given 4 days to process data (elective subjects);
- verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days;
- approval of results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
- up to 3 days for distribution of results to Unified State Exam participants.
In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result, it can take from 8 to 14 days.
Converting Unified State Examination points into grades
Despite the fact that in 2018 the scale for converting points in Unified State Examination subjects into a five-point grade is not officially used, many still want to interpret their results in a more familiar “school” system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

The second method is a little simpler and more convenient than searching for the required values in the cells of a huge table. You just need to choose a subject (mathematics, Russian language, chemistry, physics, history, English language, social studies... and other subjects), enter data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.
We invite you to try how simple and convenient it is to use online calculators for the Unified State Exam score and its conversion into a 5-point score in practice.

Internet systems for applicants
The 2017-2018 academic year is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for converting primary scores showed that the Unified State Examination result is in a fairly good range... But is this enough to enter the desired university?
Assess the real chances of entry based on test scores and the minimum passing threshold set by the university.
Important! The minimum passing score is determined by the university itself. It will directly depend on the scores of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score.
Often at TOP faculties, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget. Only Olympiad winners who provide significant additional points have a chance to see their name on the list of applicants for such majors.
In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the entrance score threshold for various specialties will be:
- Ucheba.ru
- Apply online
- Calculator High school economy
- Postyplenie.ru
- Typical applicant
These services are very easy to find. Just enter their name into any search engine.
The Unified State Exam in Physics is an exam of choice for graduates and is intended for differentiation when entering higher educational institutions. For these purposes, the work includes tasks of three difficulty levels. Completing tasks at a basic level of complexity allows you to assess the level of mastery of the most significant content elements of a high school physics course and mastery of the most important types of activities. The use of tasks of increased and high levels of complexity in the Unified State Exam allows us to assess the degree of preparation of a student to continue his education at a university.
Each version of the examination paper consists of 2 parts and includes 32 tasks, differing in form and level of difficulty (see table).
Part 1 contains 24 tasks, of which 9 tasks with choosing and recording the number of the correct answer and 15 tasks with a short answer, including tasks with independently recording the answer in the form of a number, as well as matching and multiple choice tasks in which answers are required write as a sequence of numbers.
Part 2 contains 8 tasks combined general view activities - problem solving. Of these, 3 tasks with a short answer (25–27) and 5 tasks (28–32), for which you need to provide a detailed answer.

Distribution of tasks by topic
When developing the content of CMM, the need to test the assimilation of knowledge in the following sections of the physics course is taken into account:
- Mechanics(kinematics, dynamics, statics, conservation laws in mechanics, mechanical vibrations and waves);
- Molecular physics(molecular kinetic theory, thermodynamics);
- Electrodynamics and fundamentals of SRT (electric field, D.C., a magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic oscillations and waves, optics, fundamentals of SRT);
- The quantum physics(wave-particle duality, atomic physics, physics of the atomic nucleus)
The total number of tasks in the examination paper for each section is approximately proportional to its content and the teaching time allocated for studying this section in the school physics course.
Distribution of tasks by difficulty level
The exam paper contains tasks different levels Difficulty: basic, advanced and high.
Basic level tasks are included in part 1 of the work (19 tasks, of which 9 tasks with choosing and recording the number of the correct answer and 10 tasks with a short answer). These are simple tasks that test your understanding of the most important physical concepts, models, phenomena and laws.
Advanced level tasks are distributed between the first and second parts of the examination paper: 5 short-answer tasks in part 1, 3 short-answer tasks and 1 long-answer task in part 2. These tasks are aimed at testing the ability to use the concepts and laws of physics to apply one -two laws (formulas) on any of the topics of the school physics course.
The four tasks of part 2 are tasks high level complexity and test the ability to use the laws and theories of physics in a changed or new situation. Completing such tasks requires the application of knowledge from two or three sections of physics at once, i.e., a high level of training.
Difficulty levels of tasks
Grading system
The task involving selecting and recording the number of the correct answer is considered completed if the answer number recorded in form No. 1 matches the correct answer. Each of these tasks is worth 1 point.
A short answer task is considered completed if the answer recorded in form No. 1 coincides with the correct answer.
Tasks 3–5, 10, 15, 16, 21 of part 1 and tasks 25–27 of part 2 are scored 1 point.
Tasks 6, 7, 11, 12, 17, 18, 22 and 24 of Part 1 are scored 2 points if both elements of the answer are correct; 1 point if an error was made in indicating one of the elements of the answer, and 0 points if two errors were made.
Answers to tasks with choosing and recording the number of the correct answer and a short answer are processed automatically after scanning answer forms No. 1.
A task with a detailed answer is assessed by two experts taking into account the correctness and completeness of the answer. The maximum initial score for tasks with a detailed answer is 3 points. Each task is accompanied by detailed instructions for experts, which indicates what each point is awarded for - from zero to the maximum point. In the exam version, before each type of task, instructions are given that contain General requirements to format the answers.
Exam duration and equipment
The entire examination work will be completed 235 minutes. The approximate time to complete tasks of various parts of the work is:
- for each multiple-choice task – 2–5 minutes;
- for each task with a short answer – 3–5 minutes;
- for each task with a detailed answer - from 15 to 25 minutes.
Used non-programmable calculator(for each student) with the ability to calculate trigonometric functions (cos, sin, tg) and a ruler. The list of additional devices and materials, the use of which is permitted for the Unified State Exam, is approved by Rosobrnadzor.
How many points are given for each Unified State Examination task in chemistry? Evaluation criteria for the Unified State Examination in Chemistry 2020: points and grades, conversion table, as well as the structure of the exam, testing methodology and main changes in the new year. In 2020, assignments for the Unified State Exam in chemistry began to contain a larger number of mathematical elements, calculations of physical quantities, and the testing of the basic theoretical chemistry course became deeper. At the same time, the number of tasks has decreased, now instead of 40 questions, the student will have to solve 35 (according to other sources, 34). Accordingly, the rating scale has changed; for the Unified State Examination in Chemistry 2020, the primary score has become lower – by 4 units.
All tasks are scored differently, and you can earn up to 5 points for difficult tasks. Therefore, to enter specialized universities, it is necessary to study the subject as deeply as possible.
Table of criteria for assessing USE 2020 tasks in chemistry, taking into account the new requirements:
Job number | Maximum score |
| 35 | 3 |
Assessment of tasks is carried out according to an established methodology, while for complex tasks where logic is required, points are assigned using special analytical tables. If the answer best meets the requirements of the analysis, you can get up to 5 points for it. If the student has only partially developed the topic, the number of points is reduced. For an uncompleted task, 0 points are awarded.
Complex assignments are checked by two experts. If there is a strong discrepancy in scores, then a third specialist is involved. This ensures the most effective and objective assessment of graduates’ knowledge.
Conversion table for the Unified State Exam 2020 in chemistry from points to grades:
Number of points | Grade |
The structure of the Unified State Examination tasks in chemistry in 2020 includes 29 questions with a short answer, as well as 5 with an extended answer.
The duration of the exam is 210 minutes; according to the standard, simple questions should take about 3 minutes, complex ones - up to 15. As for the minimum score for admission to specialized universities, each higher educational institution sets its own requirements. For example, to enter the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University or the prestigious Moscow Medical University, you must score at least 50 points.
But usually the overall passing score for prestigious universities is 400-470 (at least less for the chemistry department, more for the medical department), and admission to Moscow State University does not depend on chemistry alone, so if you don’t have enough points, you can get in mathematics, biology, Russian and internal entrance exams.
Significant changes in the Unified State Exam are also observed in other subjects.
To successfully pass chemistry, it is recommended to spend most of your time solving problems and equations. During the test, you can use a calculator, periodic table and salt solubility. The electrochemical voltage series of metals is also allowed.
The evaluation criteria for the Unified State Exam in Chemistry 2020 are described quite clearly in the regulations, but each graduate has the right to appeal.
Table of conversion of points to OGE-2020 grades in chemistry
Graduates of 9th grade have their own assessment criteria. According to all KIM and GIA, the maximum you can score is 34 points. But if a graduate wants to go to a medical college, a specialized class, or some other specialized secondary education related to chemistry, pharmacy and medicine, he needs to score 23 points or higher.

Despite its apparent simplicity, scoring 9 points for the minimum passing grade is not so easy. You need to be able to solve problems, navigate formulas, and have at least a minimal knowledge of theory. Those who pass with a bad mark will remain for the second year if they fail the retake.

Many schoolchildren, to be on the safe side, start solving difficult tasks right away. If you solve them all without errors, you can score 19 points at once, that is, a “four”. However, this implies a complete solution to the task, otherwise it will be scored 1 point, or even not at all.
The assessment criteria for chemistry tests change every year, the rules become stricter, since there is an idea among the government that education is not of sufficient quality. This, of course, has no basis, because schoolchildren study worse not because of the program, but mostly because of overload.
What will go into the certificate? What to do if the Unified State Examination in chemistry is written as a bad mark?
If the Unified State Exam in chemistry is not passed, but the grades in mathematics and Russian are normal, the student will simply be given a certificate. And they will also give you a Unified State Exam certificate, where chemistry simply won’t be included. However, the exam can be retaken after a year. There is only one minus here - the overall score may not be enough for admission, and if the university requires chemistry without fail, then they will not accept documents at all. Accordingly, the student loses time, and young men may even be drafted into the army, after which it will be even more difficult to retake the test.
If the grade for the year is 4 or 5, and the Unified State Exam in Chemistry is passed with a 3 or 4 (that is, a decrease in the score), what will go into the certificate? The one year mark will be reached. If the Unified State Exam is passed with a 5, and in a year 3, then it also does not affect the certificate. But every specific school where they are required to calculate the arithmetic average. Why is this happening? Because no one checks this calculation later. Based on this, it is better to resolve the issue in advance with the chemistry teacher and class teacher; usually in normal schools, teachers try to meet the graduates halfway. If a child has a 4, but he pushed himself and passed the Unified State Exam with a 5, why not help him?
But! We must remember that no one needs grades on the admission certificate, especially in chemistry. Today in 99% of cases they look only at the Unified State Examination certificate.
