Minimum exam threshold for all subjects.

64,422 people took part in the main period of the Unified State Exam in English, which is quite comparable to the number of participants in previous years (in 2016 - 64,050 people, in 2015 - 61,946 people). The largest number of participants was recorded in Moscow (15,545), Moscow region (5,335), St. Petersburg (3,987) and Krasnodar Territory (1,721).

Average test score in foreign languages ​​2017 - 2016

In general, there is a general stabilization of the Unified State Examination results in English: the average test score, the shares of participants in each of the ranges of results remained in 2017 almost at the level of 2016 (in 2016 the average test score was 69.78; in 2017 – 70.1) (see Table 1).

German

The number of exam participants is 1,769 people (in 2016 – 1,980 people). The results of the 2017 exam are comparable to the results of 2016. The average test score decreased slightly in 2017 compared to 2016 and amounted to 63.74 (in 2016 - 66.76). The share of those who did not achieve the minimum score did not change in 2017 and amounted to 3.36% (in 2016 – 3.29%). It should also be noted that there was a slight decrease in the number of high-scoring students - 24.56% (in 2016 - 32.77%). There are no 100-point students in the 2017 Unified State Examination (in 2016 – 1). The noted changes can only be interpreted taking into account the small number and specific characteristics of the sample of those taking the Unified State Exam in German.

French

The number of exam participants is 1123 people (in 2016 – 1273 people). The 2017 exam results are comparable to 2016. The average test score in 2017 increased slightly compared to 2016 and amounted to 75.89 (in 2016 - 73.62). The share of those who did not achieve the minimum score decreased slightly in 2017 and amounted to 0.43% (in 2016 – 1.25%). The share of high-scorers has increased noticeably: in 2017 – 50.81%; in 2016 – 42.31%. There are no 100-point students in the Unified State Examination in 2017 (6 in 2016). The noted changes are within the zone of statistical error, taking into account the small number and specific characteristics of the sample of those taking the Unified State Exam in French.

Spanish

The number of exam participants is 231 people (204 people in 2016). The 2017 exam results are comparable to 2016. The average test score decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 and amounted to 68.33 (in 2016 – 74.59). The share of those who did not achieve the minimum score in 2017 increased and amounted to 6.75% (in 2016 – 2.8%). The share of high-scorers decreased: in 2017 – 38.04%; in 2016 – 49.65%. There are no 100-point students in the 2017 Unified State Examination (2 in 2016). The noted changes are within the range of statistical error, taking into account the small sample size of those taking the Unified State Exam in Spanish.

Minimum Unified State Exam score in foreign languages ​​2017 did not change in comparison with the minimum score in 2016 (22 points), while the proportion of graduates who did not score the minimum number of points in English in 2017 remained virtually unchanged compared to 2016 (in 2017 – 1, 5%; in 2016 – 1.98%). A correction of this indicator by 0.5% may be associated both with a reduction in the share of graduates of previous years among exam participants and with the characteristics of the sample of 2017 Unified State Exam participants.

The share and number of 100-point students in 2017 compared to 2016 increased slightly - 0.9% (in 2016 - 0.06%, or 59 exam participants versus 39 in 2016). The increase in the share of 100-point students can be explained by the desire of graduates to enroll in state-funded places at the country's leading universities, where the Unified State Examination passing score remains at approximately 297 points, and, consequently, increased attention to learning English. The share of high-scorers in 2017 remained virtually unchanged compared to 2016 (2016 – 35.94%; 2017 – 36.01%)

They want to radically change the USE graduation in 2016, as there are still heated debates about the feasibility of this exam. There may even be a return to Soviet-style exams. In 2016, the Ministry of Education decided on plans to change the format of the Unified State Exam.

It is planned to introduce an additional number of retakes and increase the minimum passing score:

in mathematics – 27;

in Russian language – 36;

in literature – 32;

in a foreign language – 22;

in history – 32;

in social studies – 42;

in biology – 36;

in computer science - 40.

The essence of the expected changes

To eliminate the possibility of an accidental correct answer in test tasks, their number will simply be reduced or even completely eliminated. But the written part in such subjects as Russian language, literature, history, on the contrary, will be increased.

Mathematics, like the Russian language, remain compulsory subjects for everyone. Before receiving admission to the Unified State Exam, the student will need to receive credit for writing an essay.

The Ministry of Education and Science plans to add physics, history and a foreign language to the list of compulsory subjects.

There are no plans for any fundamental changes in foreign language exams. Most likely, the structure and procedure for passing the exam for graduates who choose this subject to take in 2016 will not change.

There will also be five parts of the test: reading, grammar and vocabulary, writing, listening and speaking. Perhaps the foreign language exam will become two-level: a basic knowledge level and an in-depth one. Schoolchildren will be able to choose the state exam to take. To pass the advanced level, of course, it is necessary to increase the number of hours of teaching a foreign language at school, increase the teaching staff, and improve the quality of education. Therefore, a foreign language will actually be introduced as a mandatory exam only by 2020.

It is planned to introduce an oral exam in other humanitarian subjects: Russian language, literature, social studies, history. This forced measure is aimed at ensuring that graduates can demonstrate their ability to think, talk, and reason.

Options for future changes

It is possible that in the near future, final exams will be reserved only for children who have decided to get a higher education. They plan to issue a certificate to everyone, even if it contains unsatisfactory grades. Specialists from the Ministry of Education and Science believe that the innovation will allow students to enter a university, despite a negative result in non-core subjects. The main condition is 11 completed classes of high school. This proposal was made by higher school teachers to give non-standard people a chance to realize themselves and receive a higher education. The likelihood that this proposal will be supported is very high.

From 2016, additional exams will be introduced; they will be taken if they are taken into account for enrollment in the chosen specialty. Ninth-graders can find out their capabilities while still at school, be admitted, and take trial entrance exams.

The imperfection of the examination system has always caused controversy among teachers, students and parents. But until the upcoming changes are tested in practice, it is impossible to talk about their real benefits.

According to many experts, the Unified State Exam 2016 will be the last in the history of modern Russian education. In the next graduation year, students will take Soviet-style final exams.

In 2016, the minimum passing scores will increase, and an additional number of retakes will be introduced.

Changes in the Unified State Exam 2016

According to forecasts, creative written tasks in exams in such subjects as history, Russian language, and literature will be expanded. The number of test tasks will be significantly reduced, which will avoid elementary cheating on the part of graduates, and will allow assessing the real level of their knowledge, since in the test tasks they could simply guess the correct answer without knowing it.

As before, mathematics and Russian will remain compulsory subjects. To get admission to the Russian language exam, you will need to write, which will now be assessed on a pass/fail basis. At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Science does not rule out that in the foreseeable future the list of required exams will be supplemented with foreign languages, physics and history.

Discussions on the topic of certificates

Despite the fact that many find the innovations for the Unified State Examination in 2016 radical, experts from the Ministry of Education and Science hold a different point of view on this matter, without excluding the possibility that in the future the exams will become mandatory only for applicants and will turn into a tool for admission to a university. Regarding school and lyceum graduates, now everyone will have certificates. Even unsatisfactory grades will be noted in the certificates. Thus, experts believe that a graduate will be able to study at a university in those specialties where the subjects in which he received an unsatisfactory grade are not specialized.

A similar initiative has already been discussed in the State Duma at the round table. The reason for such a discussion was an appeal from Professor Rukshin from the Herzen Pedagogical University, in which he asked to consider his proposal to issue certificates to everyone, without exception, without regard to his performance in exams. The condition will be only to have completed 11 years of secondary school. There is a high probability that this initiative will be approved. Its supporters believe that such a reform in the education system will give people with a special mindset a greater chance of implementation and will become an impetus for true personal development.

In addition, as reported by the Ministry of Education and Science, in 2016, when submitting documents to the admissions committee, graduates will have to take additional entrance exams in mathematics and a foreign language if the chosen specialty contains such exams in the list of exams required for admission. Moreover, after the ninth grade, a student can find out what his chances are of passing the entrance exams and whether he will be admitted to them.

The USE 2016 and its possible abolition next year puts an end to the debate about the imperfection of the system. Rumors about a new form of final exams do not subside, but until the result of the reforms is visible in practice, it is too early to talk about their correctness or error.

Table of assessments of the minimum passing score of the Unified State Exam 2016 in all subjects

IMHO, in mathematics it’s something like this. I would say from 75 (according to previous years, I have not yet looked at the ratio of “solved problems to Unified State Exam points”). 100 points means very good knowledge + a little luck + psychological stability.

Added after 6 minutes 27 seconds:

There is a free tutor - Internet, books, etc. But... you have to plow, plow yourself without reminders and control. And another question: in what years did a person from an ordinary high school, who made no independent efforts, enter Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, etc.? Why did VZMS exist and exist? Why were FMS created?

Added after 7 minutes 34 seconds:

IMHO, and send the child to the appropriate place...

For some reason I remembered an older colleague. Its “homeland” is Pervomaika, with its “ceiling” being NIIZhT. So he arrived there safely. In mathematics I asked the teacher a lot of questions. To which he said: “Young man, you need to go to NSU with such questions!” Where he went and successfully graduated.
Well, we can make an assessment based on graduates, and there are statistics for the last 10 years. AND? What fundamentally new will happen there? if the teachers pass?

The “subject” is taught in schools in different amounts, some have 10 hours of mathematics per week, some have three. What in this context is “to know the subject”?
Once upon a time, assignments were offered during the entrance exams to NSU. which “do not go beyond the scope of the school curriculum, but require the creative application of knowledge acquired at school.” The Unified State Examination specification declares that 100 points requires knowledge that goes beyond the scope of the general education class curriculum.
In general, there has long been an intention when certifying teachers to force them to take the Unified State Exam in the subject. Maybe we’re arguing here, but the teachers are already passing?

That is, I am not against teachers going to take the Unified State Exam of their own free will. But I don’t know what fundamentally new things will happen from such a surrender. Teachers have the opportunity to take an option and decide at any time. And see what is difficult for them personally. And are there children who need to be taught what the teacher himself does not and cannot do? And if there is, then what should we do? In general, this is how teachers work. Yusha
You shouldn't rate our teachers so low. What then did children “forget” in such schools, in your opinion?
I am much more optimistic than you and believe that most teachers will pass the Unified State Exam very well, many with 90-100 points. Not all, probably. So there is no need to set requirements for everyone to pass at 100. You just need to go and pass. How long will it take?
Nobody will judge you and me now. We DO NOT know how the teachers would write it. But if they knew, they could evaluate the Unified State Examination itself and the school education system.
In particular, find an understanding of such things:
“This is an exam that you can definitely pass with a 100 if you know the subject.”
Or
“This is an exam that you can definitely pass with a 70 if you know the subject. And 100 is for geniuses.”

And there will also be an understanding of this question:
"This is an exam that you can pass with 90-100 without a tutor"
Or
“This is an exam that you cannot pass 90-100 without a tutor.”

Now society has a strange attitude towards the Unified State Exam, there are many myths, many reproaches. Perhaps they are fair, perhaps not.
It seems to me that if all teachers passed this exam, there would be fewer myths, and also, there would be changes in the exam itself, and teachers would reveal all the problems that exist in it.
And now teachers are really scaring EGE children. Because for them it is the unknown. And if you went through it yourself, there would be less fear!

Problem 19 is an Olympiad problem. The 17th task is also very often not a weak one.

IMHO, a level of 90-100 points is the level of preparation and an indicator of the ability to study at the best universities in the country. Explain to me: where will such a number of such teachers come from in the country's schools? What did they forget there at such a level?

For what? Some children require personal interaction. Sometimes one tiny clarification is missing. 21OKSI
Well, that’s why there used to be a system of Olympiads and a physics and mathematics school. And now oops. In the same way, smart children in good schools are trained for the Olympiads. So that the 19th task is solved.
But either this issue must be resolved at the state level, with the possibility of choice. or at the individual level. parents are looking for an opportunity for their own child.

In general, the Internet makes things a lot easier. It is quite possible to find an analysis of solutions to problems 18 and 19. sono io
IMHO - because "no".
Because it doesn’t matter whether it’s a humanities class or not, but the student should have the opportunity to receive full consultation from his teacher. There is no need to divide children into classes, as if the choice of class really means something important. In some gymnasiums and lyceums, the competition in the physics and mathematics class is off the charts, and children with an above-average level of preparation end up in the humanities (chemical-biological, philological, historical, economics, etc.) classes.

And no one says that the teacher is obliged to pull out every student. The teacher must achieve a decent score in the Unified State Examination. Otherwise, no matter how talented a teacher he is, he will not be able to prepare a student for a high score - because he himself does not know the answer.

21OKSI
At my eldest son's school, the teacher went over task 18 with them - in detail and at length. And many guys solved it successfully. About 19 - I don’t know what it is. And I remember about 18, because they discussed it a lot.
This is still a big question about the right to choose. Our city is somewhat smaller than Novosibirsk - 6 schools and a gymnasium. In none of the schools, not one of the teachers, even in specialized mathematics groups, dealt with tasks 18 and 19 with children. Some parents worked with them (I know one such person, I was lucky), while others had no choice at all. Even though we don’t need specialized mathematics, if something happens, the only choice is to move. It’s scary to think about villages in relation to this situation.
I would say. that every student has the right to choose a teacher who can prepare him to a high level. But whether to use this right is up to the student. There are a huge number of children. who do not need this high level at all. Then it is only to the detriment of the student that his super-duper teacher forcibly drags him to high Unified State Exam scores. Passed the basics - demonstrated knowledge of mathematics at a cultural level. We need mathematics as the basis for further development - we need a teacher of a higher level.

Yes, let him work in some 11th humanities school, why not? sono io
We do not ask whether the child wants to go to Baumanka or to a local university. He goes and solves all the Unified State Exam tasks and gets his score. So the teacher must go and decide. And get your score. What's so difficult about it?

Regarding the fact that not all teachers prepare for a high level of the Unified State Exam.... This is a difficult question. We seem to have equal rights to education. This means that EVERY student has the right to a teacher who CAN prepare him for a high level of the Unified State Exam. I don't think this should be exactly 100 points. But still, a teacher should be able to get a fairly high score. If the teacher is not ready for this, IMHO, he should not work in the 11th grade. Any other time, but not 11.
Why? There are different teachers, not all work in depth. There are excellent school teachers who teach the basic level. That is, for a specialized exam, but within the framework of the general education program. Why demand from them the full version of the Unified State Exam, designed for admission to the best specialized universities in the country?

What do you mean by “solve the Unified State Exam”? Decide on the minimum to get a certificate? decide on the level of enrollment at a local university? Is it necessary to decide on a level, for example, Moscow State University or Baumanka?

And one more thing: the ability to do something yourself and the ability to explain to another.... somewhat different things... It’s strange if it’s difficult for an amplifier to solve the exam. Then what will he teach the children? It is a pity that only one teacher in Russia made such a decision. I am sure that all teachers working with 11th graders must take the Unified State Exam in their discipline every year together with their students. And this is not a test of the teacher’s knowledge, this is a test of the Unified State Examination procedure - this is how you should approach it!
Well, the Unified State Exam should not be difficult for a teacher!
Why is this act of a teacher “certainly worthy of respect,” but for students this is an ordinary event?
If all teachers in Russia passed the Unified State Exam, I am sure this would be the reason for some adjustments both in the Unified State Exam and in the curriculum. Krasnoyarsk gymnasium teacher Oksana Fan-Di, together with her students, passed the literature exam. The teacher notes that the purpose of such an unusual experiment was not only to test one’s own knowledge.
