Exam schedule and duration. Changes by subject

Every schoolchild in our country is required to take unified state exams, which demonstrate the level of knowledge acquired at school and become the basis for the further development of education - admission to a university. Such an important event requires a long preparation, and therefore every student strives to find out the schedule of USE exams 2017 in advance.

Features of the Unified State Exam 2017

Until 2017, tests were the main form of knowledge testing. In 2016, the form of test questions was considered obsolete, because even without knowing the correct answer, the student had the opportunity to guess it from the options provided. Since 2017, it has been decided to return to the survey form of exams, that is, most subjects will be taken as it was customary in the “noughties” - in the period before 2009. In addition, the student can expect a whole series of innovations. Let's tell you more about them.

Firstly, a third is added to the two mandatory exams - it should be history. True, the name of the third subject has not yet been firmly established, but at the beginning of the school year this information will be made public. That is, you will have to take the Russian language, mathematics and, most likely, history - more precisely, it will be known by the date of the Unified State Exam 2017.

Secondly, the RAO (Russian Academy of Education) insists on introducing a point scale for grading essays. Until today, essays were assessed according to only two criteria: pass or fail. This, according to representatives of the Russian Academy of Education, negatively affects the knowledge of students and gives advantages to those students who are simply too lazy to study literature - it is much easier to get a “pass” in an essay than an “A”.

Thirdly, the results of the Unified State Exam will also be influenced by the grades in the certificate. The higher the scores for school subjects, the higher the final grade for the state exam.

Fourthly, if the points scored do not reach the threshold level, students will be given the opportunity to retake the Unified State Exam twice more. It will also be possible to take a retake if the student for some reason is not satisfied with the points he scored.

So, at the Unified State Exam, schoolchildren will have to take one of their choice. They can be taken several times until the student finds the result satisfactory.

Dates for the Unified State Examination in 2017

The Unified State Exam schedule in 2017 consists of two parts - early and main exams.

Early period for passing the Unified State Examination

• Geography, Computer Science and ICT

• Russian language / compulsory subject

• history, chemistry

• mathematics / compulsory subject

• Geography, literature

• foreign languages ​​(oral exam)

• foreign languages, biology, physics

• social studies, literature

Starting next week, reserve time begins for all exams included in the Unified State Examination list.

• reserve: geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT, foreign languages ​​(oral), history

• reserve: foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology

• reserve: Russian language, mathematics B, P

• Foreign language, history, social studies (reserve)

• Foreign language (oral), geography, physics, biology (reserve).

However, not every student is in a hurry to take advantage of the right to take the exam early. Therefore, most students will be interested in the second section of the 2017 Unified State Exam schedule - the main period.

• Geography, Computer Science and ICT

• mathematics B

• mathematics P

• social science

• physics, literature

• Russian language

• foreign languages, biology

Additional period (September)

Retaking the Unified State Examinations in 2017

In addition to the main and reserve days, the Unified State Examination process itself also provides for a third period - a retake. The right to retake is granted to every student - both those who did not reach the minimum threshold and those who simply want to improve their own results and score more points. True, to improve your own level you will need remarkable confidence in your own strengths and knowledge.

The Unified State Exam retake usually takes place in September, most often in the first half of the month. However, the schedule for a possible retake will be known only by August 2017.

Extra points

Additional points may be added for exam scores. So, 10 points can be added to:

• for a certificate with only A's;
• for prizes won at Olympiads in school subjects;
• for achievements in sports.

Considering the possible addition of points, it is worth thinking about taking the Unified State Exam in advance: taking part in olympiads and competitions in all subjects, not just specialized ones; increase your level of knowledge, striving for excellent grades; participate in the sports life of the school.

More than 700,000 11th grade graduates will take the Unified State Exam in 2017. Despite the spring days, it is difficult to rejoice: exam dates are approaching at an alarming speed. On what days are the most terrible tests of the exam epic in store for graduates? When will you have to take the mandatory Unified State Exam in mathematics and Russian language in 2017? What should you expect and what should you prepare for? Forewarned is forearmed! Or in Latin - prei monituse, prei minituse!

Official schedule for the Unified State Exam in 2017

The document with the approved Unified State Exam schedule for 2017 has not yet appeared on the official website of the FIPI (Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements), but it has already become known that the dates for holding state exams this year have been approved by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

Unified State Exam schedule in 2017

As in the previous year, in 2017 the exams will be held in three stages: early, main and additional.

Thus, from March 23 to April 14, the early stage of passing the Unified State Examination will take place, and from May 29 to July 1, the main stage of passing the exams will take place. The additional stage will take place from September 5 to 16.

If formulated briefly and schematically, the standard Unified State Exam schedule for a graduate will look like this:

• May 29 – geography and computer science and ICT;
• May 31 – basic level mathematics;
• June 2 – specialized level mathematics;
• June 5 – social studies;
• June 7 – physics and literature;
• June 9 – Russian language;
• June 13 – foreign language (without speaking) and biology;
• June 15 – speaking a foreign language;
• June 19 – chemistry and history.

By the way, GVE for eleventh graders will be held according to a similar schedule. However, the foreign language course will be held on one day – June 13th. As for the Unified State Exam in mathematics at the profile level, it is not provided for within the GVE.

On a note! Ninth graders will also be tested. The main stage of the OGE for them has the following schedule:

• May 26-27 – foreign language;
• May 30 – Russian language;
• June 1 – history, biology, physics, literature;
• June 3 – physics, computer science and ICT;
• June 6 – mathematics;
• June 8 – social studies, geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT.

Please note that ninth-graders will take the GVE on a similar schedule.

Mandatory exams and elective disciplines

The list of disciplines that must be passed at any cost traditionally includes the Russian language and mathematics. Although from 2017 they are going to add one more compulsory subject to these subjects. True, it is not yet known what kind of object this is. There are several candidates for this role: foreign language, social studies, physics and history.

Today we know that you need to take only four exams: two mandatory and two optional. The graduate must determine his elective subjects himself, depending on what specialty at the university he plans to enroll in.

The list of elective Unified State Examinations for 2017 consists of 12 subjects:

• literature;
• story;
• social science;
• biology;
• physics;
• chemistry;
• geography;
• computer science and ICT;
• English;
• German;
• French;
• Spanish.

Time of the Unified State Examination in 2017

Exams in all subjects will begin as usual at 10 am local time. The time allotted for passing the examination tests also remained unchanged:

• social studies - 235 minutes;
• history - 235 minutes;
• Russian language - 210 minutes;
• literature - 235 minutes;
• profile level mathematics - 235 minutes;
• basic level mathematics – 180 minutes;

Attention! The time to pass the Unified State Exam in biology has increased by 30 minutes compared to the previous year. And in 2017, the time for the biology exam will be 3 hours 30 minutes.

Minimum scores for the Unified State Exam in 2017

The minimum number of points based on the results of the Unified State Examinations is different for those graduates who simply want to receive a certificate and for those who plan to enter a university.

Minimum Unified State Exam scores for admission to a university

In the Russian language you need to score 36 points.

The Unified State Exam results for the specialized level of mathematics will be needed for those who intend to enroll in a university that includes the subject “Mathematics” in the list of entrance tests.

• mathematics (specialized) – 27 points;
• mathematics (basic) – 3 points (assessment).

Minimum Unified State Exam scores to obtain a certificate

• in Russian language - 24 points;
• in specialized level mathematics - 27 points;
• in basic level mathematics - 3 points (score);
• in physics - 36 points;
• in chemistry - 36 points;
• in computer science - 40 points;
• in biology - 36 points;
• in history - 32 points;
• in geography - 37 points;
• in social studies - 42 points;
• in literature - 32 points;
• in foreign languages ​​- 22 points.

Changes and innovations in the Unified State Exam 2017

As mentioned above, it is planned to add one more to the two mandatory subjects for passing the Unified State Exam, but which one is unknown.

A rather important change that affected the content of examination tests is the abolition of the test part for several subjects at once. Thus, tests have been canceled not only in Russian language and mathematics, but also in “oral” subjects. The test part of the exam remains only in the Unified State Exam in a foreign language.

An innovation that speaks of the improvement of the Unified State Exam and its attempt to keep up with the times is passing the Unified State Exam in computer science and ICT on a computer.

Since 2017, the oral part “Speaking” has been introduced for exams in foreign languages. Now foreign languages ​​will need to be taken 15 minutes longer - that’s how long the oral part will last. In addition to foreign languages, there is an idea to also introduce an oral part in the Unified State Exam in history, literature and social studies, but for now this is only in the draft. And in test mode, the oral part of the Russian language exam will be tested. Thus, in some regions of Russia, the Russian language exam in 2017 will include an oral part.

Thus, there are no cardinal and unexpected changes in the 2017 Unified State Examination. And those innovations that have been implemented are obviously aimed at improving the examination testing system. The official Unified State Exam schedule for 2017 has already been approved and known. All that remains is to prepare well and show a decent level of knowledge!

Good luck with exams!

The Unified State Examination is conducted according to a unified schedule, which is approved annually by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Exams are held in three stages: early, main and additional (September).

Official Unified State Exam 2017 schedule

In accordance with the schedule, exams in 2017 will be held in three stages: early, main and additional.

The early stage of the Unified State Examination in 2017 will be held from March 14 to April 7. The main one is from May 29, 2017 to June 30.

The Unified State Exam in Russian language and basic level mathematics can also be taken during an additional period - from September 4 to September 15.

As in 2016, the schedule, along with reserve dates for conducting the Unified State Exam, Unified State Exam and State Examination in individual academic subjects, provides an additional reserve day for conducting exams in all academic subjects. It is necessary for those participants who, for any reason, were unable to participate in the exam on the main or reserve day, for example, due to the coincidence of two selected subjects on the same day or absence for a valid reason.

Dates for the Unified State Exam 2017

The early examination period, which is held in March–April, is mainly intended for graduates from previous years.

The main period is traditionally organized in May - June in all subjects for all graduates of the current year.

During the additional period in September, exams are held in compulsory subjects - Russian language and basic level mathematics.
Students who have not passed the state final certification in compulsory subjects have the right to take exams in September.

Graduates who have received a certificate of secondary general education and who wish to improve their satisfactory results in these subjects are not allowed to participate in the Unified State Examination in September. They can retake the exams no earlier than after a year.

To participate in the Unified State Exam, you must submit an application before February 1 (inclusive), which should list the subjects in which the participant plans to take the Unified State Exam. You can indicate any number of items in your application.

School graduates of the current year apply to take the Unified State Exam at their place of study. The rest of those interested must submit an application to the places of registration for taking the Unified State Exam, determined by the educational authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

As the Minister of Education stated, in 2017 the Unified State Exam system will undergo big changes. We will try to tell you in more detail what new rules for passing the Unified State Exam in 2017 are being discussed by representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Rules for passing the Unified State Exam in 2017

The most important news, which may disappoint some schoolchildren: there is no talk of any cancellation of the Unified State Exam. The new Minister of Education, on the contrary, noted the need to preserve the unified state exam system and its further improvement. But the form of taking the exam will most likely undergo changes. And we will talk about abandoning the test part.

The fact that tests have become obsolete as a form of testing knowledge was stated by the former Minister of Education D. Livanov. He said that the gradual abandonment of the test part of the exam in all subjects without exception is already being considered by his department. And by 2017 we will see the first results of such changes.

According to rumors, the new rules for passing the Unified State Exam also implied the introduction of a third compulsory subject. History (or biology, according to some sources) should have been added to the “Russian language + mathematics” pair. But since, according to the rules, all important changes must be published before the start of the academic year, and there is no information on the FIPI website, graduates of 2017 can breathe freely - there will be no third compulsory subject

However, the question of a new exam is still open. True, a decision on it will be made after open public discussions, as officials from the Ministry of Education assure.

Rules for submitting subjects

Russian language

Before the start of the school year, there was talk about introducing a new part to the Russian language exam - “speaking”, by analogy with the English “speaking”, that is, oral speech. However, the Ministry of Education decided to try this option first on the Unified State Examination, that is, on ninth graders. After the appropriate “run-in”, the oral part of the exam will reach the Unified State Examination.

Thus, no global changes are expected in the Russian language exam. There will be innovations only in some tasks, and all innovations will be aimed at expanding the material and making it more complex.

Mathematics

The division into two levels in the mathematics exam still remains. Those who decide to connect their future profession with the humanities will only need to pass a basic exam, but those who want to enter engineering and technical universities will have to pass a more complex specialized part. And in this part, small changes are possible: tasks of increased complexity may turn out to be truly “increased”, that is, requiring a non-standard approach to solution.

Physics

The physics exam will undergo the most serious and significant changes - the abandonment of the test part. That is, students will no longer have the opportunity to guess the correct answer from the list of provided options. The test part will be replaced by a block with short answers, that is, solutions in the form of numbers or words. Thanks to this innovation, physics will truly become the most difficult exam on the Unified State Exam list.

Biology

The test part will also be removed from the biology exam. Just like in physics, the place of tests will be taken by a model with short answers. The main block of tasks will also expand: it will include new types of tasks, compared to previous years. Those taking the exam will also be required to be able to work with tables, graphs and diagrams - the Unified State Examination in Biology will include tasks on restoring missing “pieces” from tables or flowcharts. But at the same time, the developers assure that the exam will not become too difficult (as in the case of physics).

Chemistry

Another subject from which the test component will be excluded will be chemistry. And even in the block with short answers, changes will appear - for example, there will be several correct options, and the student’s task will be to decide how many correct answers the problem actually has. The developers seem to have decided to simplify the exam - the number of tasks in the Unified State Exam in Chemistry 2017 will be reduced.

Social studies, history, computer science, foreign language, and geography remain virtually unchanged. All these subjects, according to officials from the Ministry of Education, will not cause any special problems for schoolchildren.
