There are situations in life when it is precisely on these dates that it is impossible to come to the exam. And then what? Lose a year and wait for the next year? Not necessary. Passing the exam (as well as any other important exams) takes place in 2 stages:
- The main stage (held at the end of the academic year, at the end of May-June);
- Early stage (held in the spring, in March-April).
What's more, some students can choose when to take their exams. But in order to understand whether you need it or not, let's figure out who these students are, as well as the main pros and cons of passing the exam early.
Who can take the early exam?
The following categories of persons are eligible for early surrender:
- Those who by the time of passing have fully mastered the school curriculum are graduates of schools of past years, technical schools, lyceums, colleges and schools;
- Students of 11 classes of evening schools who will have to carry out military service;
- Graduates of schools who are preparing to move for permanent residence in another country;
- Schoolchildren who take part in international or all-Russian Olympiads or competitions, the date of which coincides with the main stage of the USE;
- Schoolchildren who, at the time of the main stage of the Unified State Examination, will be in sanatoriums or other medical institutions to undergo medical, health or rehabilitation programs;
- Graduation students who are outside the country and due to difficult climatic conditions cannot return.
What does early USE 2017 mean: advantages
So, you don’t know how to pass the USE ahead of schedule in 2017? It is enough just to write an application addressed to the principal of the school, indicating the reason why you may be allowed to do this.
But is it true that the early exam is easier than the one that is held in the main period of delivery? Well, he definitely has certain advantages, but certainly not in the ease of the exam itself, but in this:
- Graduates are less nervous due to fewer people. For comparison: if last year more than 700,000 students took the exam during the main stage, then only 26,000 young people came to take the exam ahead of schedule. Agree, in such an almost friendly company you feel much more confident, which means you will be less nervous.
- Less hustle and bustle and better organization. Due to the fact that the early exam takes much less students, its structure is clearer and more organized. You can not be afraid that you will not have enough form or that there will suddenly be no clock in the audience.
- Optimal weather conditions. The weather in early to mid-spring is more predictable. At this time, you can not be afraid of heat, stuffiness, the negative effects of direct sunlight. So in any case, the early delivery of the exam takes place in more comfortable conditions.
- Fast check speed. You will learn much earlier about how you wrote the early version of the Unified State Examination 2017 (in chemistry, Russian, mathematics or another subject), since the load on observers and inspectors is much lower. Of course, you should not expect results the next day. To find out the results of the exam (early period 2017-2018), you will have to wait 7-9 days. Approximately 2-3 days before the deadline for the announcement of the results, it is already possible to monitor your results. For comparison: those who pass the exam in the main period have to live with the expectation for about two weeks. That's what the early version of the exam means!
- Additional time to think over the admission strategy. As soon as you managed to find out the results of the early Unified State Examination (2017-2018), you have additional weeks and even months for a detailed analysis of your situation and thinking about where to apply after all. At this time, you can go to different universities for open days, prepare for internal exams of the selected university, and even change your mind about the chosen direction. And, of course, devote yourself to rest, gaining strength and relaxation before a difficult academic year, if you still manage to do it.
Early delivery of the exam: disadvantages
Not everything is as simple as everything in our life. Let's deal with the minuses that promise us the early delivery of the exam:
- Less time to prepare. While others will have another 2 months to prepare for the exam and take classes with tutors, you will have to take an early exam. This is also bad because some of the topics included in the exam, schoolchildren pass during the last months of study. If you decide to take an early exam, you will have to prepare and understand the topic yourself.
- You become a "guinea pig" for all the changes that have not yet been introduced. If the organizers decide to introduce any innovations, you will be the first one they will test them on, so that the main period goes perfectly.
- Remote location for delivery. Since the number of applicants for early exams is significantly lower than the main flow of applicants, the number of places where exams will be taken is also significantly lower. For example, in the main exam period, you will be able to take an exam in the main area of \u200b\u200bresidence or study. If you live in a remote area, then for the place of delivery, places where it will be problematic to get to can be chosen.
In general, now you see the difference between the main and early stages of passing the exam. Each has its pros and cons, and you need to choose what is closer to you in spirit. And in order to alleviate your difficult lot, we offer you the future assistance of our specialists in the main types of student work that complicates the learning process so much (controls, abstracts, term papers, diplomas).
Every year, school graduates take state exams in late May and early June. This period is called the main period. The developers of the exams provided an opportunity to pass the state certification at a different time - an early period.
If you have objective reasons, then you have the right to sign up for an early time.
There are many stereotypes around this exam option. We intend to dispel them, so we will talk about the conditions and main characteristics regarding the early stage.
Criteria for early surrender
Graduates can take the Unified State Exam ahead of schedule if there is a good reason. It considers the situations that will take place during the main exam:
- conscription;
- stay in medical organizations according to the recommendations of medical staff in order to carry out medical procedures of various kinds and nature;
- participation in domestic or international sports competitions, contests, training camps or olympiads;
- moving on a permanent basis or in order to continue studying at a foreign university abroad;
- evening education training;
- training takes place outside the Russian Federation in another country with particularly difficult climatic conditions, but in a Russian educational institution.
An important condition is the fact that in order to confirm the above points, the educational institution must provide the relevant supporting documents.
Who can submit early?
Young people who have mastered the school curriculum have the right to choose.
This is about:
- (both about those who graduated from school many years ago, and about those who received a certificate only a couple of years ago);
- children who graduated from technical schools, lyceums, colleges and have the appropriate attestation certificates.
And, of course, this opportunity applies to current 11th graders who have one of the above reasons.
IMPORTANT: in order to get admission to the early passing of the state exam, you need to write an application addressed to the director, indicating the circumstance and attaching a copy of the supporting document.
Time spending
Annually in October-November, the dates of early state tests are published. Usually the period starts from March and ends at the beginning of April.
For example, in 2018, the delivery took place from 21.03 to 11.04.
To find out your key dates, check out the information on the website of the Federal Institute for Pedagogical Measurements.
Exam Difficulty
There is an opinion that the questions at the preliminary certification are simpler, because graduates of past school programs participate in them - those who have not gone through any topics and have not encountered a certain task format. And it is for this reason that many teenagers want to participate earlier.
This is the first and weighty delusion. Perhaps this was the case a few years ago. However, now there is no doubt about the validity of the collected options on the main and early periods. You just need to refer to the reviews and online analysis of assignments.
The guys who have passed this stage admit that the formulated questions are quite difficult. Most of the terms seemed familiar, but even they were so complicated that they caused trouble. High school students did not expect to see some tasks and turned out to be not ready for them. In this connection, they did not cope with the test - they did not score the required minimum points. According to experienced teachers, there are even more complex than usual questions.
The main thing in successfully passing the state test is quality training. Graduates who choose to take the exam early should take into account their degree of preparedness for the tests. It is better to set aside a couple more months for study, if possible. Otherwise, the pace of mastering materials should be accelerated.
The future of a teenager depends on the results of the exam, so haste is inappropriate here. Before making a decision in this matter, we strongly advise you to think carefully.
Like last year, in 2017 there are two "streams" of the unified state exam - an early period (it takes place in the middle of spring) and the main one, traditionally starting at the end of the academic year, in the last days of May. The official draft schedule of the Unified State Examination “prescribes” all the dates for passing exams in all subjects in both of these periods - including additional reserve days provided for those who, for a good reason (illness, coincidence of exam dates, etc.) could not pass the Unified State Examination within the specified time frame.
Schedule of the early period for passing the exam - 2017
In 2017, the early "wave" of the unified state exam starts earlier than usual. If last year the peak of the spring examination period fell on the last week of March, then this season the spring break period will be free from the exam.
The main terms of the early period are from March 14 to March 24. Thus, by the beginning of the spring school holidays, many “early students” will already have time to pass the test. And this can turn out to be convenient: among the graduates who have the right to take the Unified State Examination in an early wave are guys who will have to participate in Russian or international competitions and competitions in May, and during spring breaks they often go to sports camps, profile shifts to camps, etc. d. Shifting exams to an earlier date will allow them to use the latest "to the fullest."
Additional (reserve) days early period of the USE-2017 will be held from 3 to 7 April. At the same time, many people will probably have to write exams in reserve terms: if in the last year’s schedule no more than two subjects were taken on the same day, then in 2017 most elective exams are grouped “in triplets”.
Separate days are allocated for only three subjects: the Russian language exam, which is mandatory for graduates and all future applicants, as well as mathematics and the oral part of the exam in foreign languages. At the same time, “speaking” this year, “early students” will take it before the written part.
It is planned to distribute the March exams by dates as follows:
March 14th(Tuesday) - Mathematics exam (both basic and profile level);
March 16(Thursday) - chemistry, history, computer science;
March 18(Saturday) - USE in foreign languages (oral part of the exam);
20th of March(Monday) - Russian language exam;
March 22(Wednesday) - biology, physics, foreign languages (written exam);
March 24(Friday) - USE, literature and social science.
There is a nine-day pause between the main and reserve days of the early period. All additional tests for "reservists" will take place in three days:
April 3(Monday) - chemistry, literature, computer science, foreign (speaking);
April 5(Wednesday) - foreign (in writing), geography, physics, biology, social studies;
April 7(Friday) - Russian, basic and.
As a rule, the bulk of those who pass the USE ahead of schedule are graduates of previous years, as well as graduates of secondary specialized educational institutions (in colleges and professional lyceums, the secondary school program is usually “passed” in the very first year of study). In addition, graduates of schools who during the main period of passing the Unified State Examination will be absent for good reasons (for example, participate in Russian or international competitions or be treated in a sanatorium) or intend to continue their education outside Russia can “shoot back” with exams early.
Graduates of 2017 can also choose to take exams in those subjects in which the program has been completed in full. This is relevant primarily for those who plan - the school course on this subject is read up to grade 10, and early passing of one of the exams can reduce tension during the main period of the exam.
Schedule of the main period for passing the exam - 2017
The main period for passing the exam in 2017 starts on May 26, and by June 16, most graduates will have already completed the exam epic. For those who could not pass the exam on time for a good reason, or who chose subjects that coincided in terms of delivery, there are reserve exam days from June 19. Like last year, the last day of the USE period will become a “single reserve” – on June 30, it will be possible to take an exam in any subject.
At the same time, the schedule of exams for the main period of the Unified State Exam-2017 is much less dense in comparison with early exams, and most graduates will probably be able to avoid “overlapping” exam dates.
Separate examination days are allocated for passing compulsory subjects: Russian language, basic and specialized mathematics (schoolchildren have the right to take one of these exams, or both at once, so they are traditionally spread over several days in the schedule of the main period).
Like last year, a separate day is allocated for the most popular elective exam - social studies. And for passing the oral part of the exam in foreign languages, two separate days are allocated at once. In addition, a separate day is allocated for a subject that is not the most in demand at the USE - geography. Perhaps this was done in order to space out all subjects of the natural science profile in the schedule, reducing the number of coincidences.
Thus, two pairs and one "triple" of subjects remain in the USE schedule, the exams for which will be taken simultaneously:
- chemistry, history and informatics;
- foreign languages and biology,
- literature and physics.
Exams must be taken on the following dates:
26 of May(Friday) - geography,
May 29(Monday) - Russian,
May 31(Wednesday) - history, chemistry, informatics and ICT,
2 June(Friday) - profile mathematics,
June 5(Monday) - social studies;
June 7(Wednesday) - ,
the 9th of June(Friday) - written foreign language, biology,
June 13(Tuesday) - literature, physics,
June 15(Thursday) and June 16(Friday) - foreign oral.
Thus, the majority of schoolchildren will prepare for graduation parties “with a clear conscience”, having already passed all the planned exams and received results in most subjects. Those who fell ill during the main examination period, chose subjects that coincided in time, received a “fail” in Russian or mathematics, were removed from the exam, or encountered technical or organizational difficulties during the exam (for example, a lack of additional forms or a power outage), will take their exams on time.
Reserve days will be distributed as follows:
June 19(Monday) - computer science, history, chemistry and geography,
June 20(Tuesday) - physics, literature, biology, social studies, written foreign language,
21st of June(Wednesday) - Russian,
22nd of June(Thursday) - mathematics at a basic level,
June 28(Wednesday) - mathematics at the profile level,
June 29(Thursday) - oral foreign,
30 June(Friday) - all subjects.
Can there be changes in the exam schedule?
The draft official USE schedule is usually published at the beginning of the academic year, discussion is held, and the final approval of the exam schedule takes place in the spring. Therefore, changes are possible in the USE schedule for 2017.
However, for example, in 2016 the project was approved without any changes and the actual dates of the exams completely coincided with those announced in advance - both in the early and in the main wave. So the chances that the 2017 schedule will also be adopted without changes are quite high.
In total, 44 thousand people will take part in it, two of which are graduates of this year. In all classrooms where exams will be held, online cameras have been installed. Also in 2017, KIM prints immediately at the drop-off point, and the answers of the guys will be scanned there.
We learned from those who took the exam today how the exam was held, what caused difficulties and whether it is worth worrying about the guards.
Ekaterina, Moscow. Rented information.
I passed it ahead of schedule, because geography and computer science in the main period are held on the same day, and I pass both subjects. But only geography is a priority for admission. Therefore, I decided to hand over ahead of schedule, so that later I would not hand over on reserve days.
The overall impression is good. In general, not many people rented, I had to go to the other end of the city, which is not very convenient. In many classrooms there was only one dealer.
The atmosphere is calm, pleasant observers in the PES, guards with humor. There were no limits, I don’t know for sure about the jammers - I prudently handed over my things to the escort, they checked me, let me through and saw me off. There were two cameras in the auditorium, aimed at different corners of the classroom.
The tasks were, in my opinion, not so much difficult as non-standard. In preparation, I met only a few options of this type. The first part was frustrating, because just there were non-standard tasks (1, 2, 9, 10, 16). The second part was, as it seemed to me, much easier than training KIMs (a task for an error in a program can be done by anyone who is familiar with any programming language). And all tasks that included programming elements were easier than usual (8, 11, 20, 21)
In general, if you devote enough time to preparation, you can get high scores. The key to preparation is to solve tasks of different types, so that later in the exam you will not be surprised at the unusual wording of the task.
Angelina, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Passed geography.
Tasks are not much different from the demo version. There were a lot of questions about the subjects of the Russian Federation and industry in different parts of the world.
As for control: cameras, jammers and observers - it was all there. I was very nervous. But got a good guard. When I went out to drink and eat a chocolate bar, he talked to me, even encouraged me.
8 people rented with me. Everyone was worried, but we had good organizers: they told everything, they didn’t escalate the situation.
Gennady, Mirny. Rented informatics.
We've been told that they haven't added any new missions to the early wave for several years, and apparently there is no reason not to believe this. There was nothing completely new. If you know the topic, then you will only need to understand what they want from you, and you will not have to take new actions. One had a slightly different wording, but the task itself is exactly the same as always.
The situation at the exam was very quiet, because only four people came for computer science, and two more for geography. We didn’t have frames, we just checked with a metal detector, and that’s it. I didn't see much of the police, only the guards belonging to the school where the exam was held.
Konstantin, Khimki. Rented informatics.
From the KIMs, for which I was preparing, the tasks did not differ very much. Most of the tasks can be solved logically, only a few tasks really required knowledge.
The situation at the exam is normal, the teachers are friendly, smiling, joking. At the entrance to the school, they immediately explained everything, told where to go. From the control, I saw only two guards who, at the entrance to the examination rooms, simply checked for the presence of telephones with a device. There were no frames, no police cordons. There were only two organizers in the room throughout the entire exam, the observers walked exclusively in the corridor, sometimes looking at the audience through the open door.
There were not many people, as I saw: the exam was held in 6 rooms, about 15 people in each. The overall impression is pleasant, despite the severity and excessive bureaucracy, the process itself and the attitude of the organizers towards it are at a high level.
Evgenia, Bryansk. Rented information.
Firstly, the training options that many sites provide are not much different from what students will meet on the exam itself. Tasks are similar in type. The only difference is that they will be complicated by additional conditions, for example, not "find the value of the expression" but "find the value of the expression in the 10th number system and convert to the number system with base 5". Rough but clear. And so - almost nothing new.
The atmosphere at the exam was tense. Everyone was worried. Someone even tore the envelope from excitement by accident. The organizers did not try to defuse the situation. Despite the fact that we were all adults there, we read the rules for schoolchildren that “this is one of the difficult tests that awaits you in life” is frankly ridiculous. And so they tried very hard to be attentive to us so that we would not make a mistake.
There were no police, at least where I handed over. Frame too. Checked with a metal detector and everything. They joked, laughed and sent to hand over. The cameras are straining, it turned out that you couldn’t even put a bracelet from your hand and put rings on the table - immediately a remark. You can’t take off your shirt if it’s hot, you can’t take anything except a passport and a pen.
Today, 9 people passed, the rest were not allowed in - there were 15 on the list, but they were late and lost the chance to pass this year. I will say one thing - the exam goes beyond the school curriculum. You wouldn't want that for graduates when a grown-up programmer like me was having a hard time squeaking his brains out over all this.
Ruslan, Sevastopol. Head of the Corps of Public Observers
The first day of monitoring showed that the guys were ready to take the exam without the help of cheat sheets, phones and other things, the exam was held as usual. At the entrance to the auditorium, the dealers are waiting for the metal detector frames and checking by the police.
Our role, as public observers, is to make the USE procedure as objective and transparent as possible. We also make sure that the employees of the Unified State Exam Admission Point treat the guys honestly and transparently: for example, so that they don’t fail the exam and do their job as expected. Members of the corps are actively working with schoolchildren, we convey to them the importance and necessity of our work.
The early stage of the exam has begun. According to Rosobrnadzor, more than 40 thousand people are registered on it. In the main period, according to preliminary data, more than 720 thousand people will take part in the exams, of which 638 thousand are graduates of the current year.
Last year, 44 thousand people signed up for the early period.
Most of those who will come to the early stage are graduates of previous years. Eleventh-graders are allowed to take the exam ahead of time if for good reason they cannot get into the main wave.
Anyone who goes to take the exam in the early period must master the entire school curriculum by this time and pass certification in all subjects. Usually, athletes, graduates who leave for international olympiads, or students who will be on treatment during the main stage participate in the early stage.
Our task is to maintain the achieved high level of the Unified State Examination, and I ask the ministers to personally supervise the early stage: monitor the conduct of all exams in great detail and carefully, - the head of Rosobrnadzor, Deputy Minister of Education and Science Sergey Kravtsov addressed the regional ministers.
If you didn’t pass the exams on the reserve days, then you can retake the Russian language and mathematics in September
Particular attention should be paid to the scanning of forms, video surveillance during the exam, and the creation of conditions for graduates with disabilities.
Those who came to the early stage will not be allowed to retake the exam of their choice in the main wave. This can only be done next year. But the mandatory exams - Russian language and mathematics - can be retaken on reserve days if the student has not scored the minimum score.
“If it is not possible to pass exams on reserve days, then the mandatory Russian language and basic-level mathematics can be retaken in September,” the Rosobrnadzor reminded. As a rule, the most popular elective subjects in the Unified State Examination are social science, which is chosen by more than 50 percent, history (about 20 percent), biology (18 percent), physics, and foreign languages.
What's new at the USE-2018?
Russian language: the examination paper includes a basic level task that tests knowledge of the lexical norms of the modern Russian literary language. The maximum primary score for completing the entire job has been increased from 57 to 58.
Social studies: task 28 assessment system has been revised. Task 29 wording has been clarified and its assessment system has been changed. The maximum primary score for completing the entire job has been increased from 62 to 64.
References: the requirements for completing tasks 9 and 16 have been clarified (the requirement to justify the choice of an example for comparison has been canceled). The fourth theme of the essay has been introduced. The criteria for evaluating the performance of tasks with a detailed answer have been completely revised (8, 9, 15, 16, 17). The maximum score for the entire work has been increased from 42 to 57 points.
Schedule of the early period of the exam:
- March 21 - geography, computer science.
- March 23 - Russian.
- March 26 - history, chemistry.
- March 28 - foreign languages (oral part).
- March 30 - mathematics base and profile.
- April 2 - foreign languages, biology, physics.
- April 4 - social science, literature.
