After checking the USE assignments in the Russian language, the initial score for their implementation is set: from 0 to 57. Each assignment is evaluated by a certain number of points: the more difficult the assignment, the more points you can get for it. For the correct performance of tasks in the USE in the Russian language, from 1 to 5 points are given, depending on the complexity of the task. At the same time, you can get from 0 to 24 points for an essay.
After that, the primary score is converted into a test score, which is indicated in the USE certificate. It is this score that is used for admission to higher educational institutions. Translation of USE scores carried out using a special scoring scale.
Also, by the score for the USE, you can determine the approximate mark on a five-point scale that a student would receive for completing tasks in the Russian language in the exam.
Below is USE scores translation scale in Russian: Primary scores, test scores and a rough estimate.

Each graduate who wants to become a student of one of the universities of the Russian Federation in 2018 faces a difficult task - to successfully pass the exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. The majority of 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 exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point system for grading final tests will still be relevant for graduates.
How is everything going?
In the course of checking the examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate receives the so-called “primary points”, which, upon completion of the work check, are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the USE certificate.
Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting primary and test USE scores into traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 final exams are not included in the certificate.
Checking work is done in two ways:
- automatically (with the help of special programs and technical means);
- manually (the correctness of detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).
It is quite difficult to challenge the result of an automatic check. 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, who did not follow a number of mandatory rules, will be to blame for this.
If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.
When to expect results?
The following time limits apply by law:
- data processing (for compulsory subjects) at the RCSC should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
- for data processing (subjects of choice) RTsOI give 4 days;
- verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days;
- approval of the results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
- up to 3 days to send the results to the USE participants.
In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result, it can take from 8 to 14 days.
Converting USE scores to grade
Despite the fact that officially in 2018 the scale for converting points in USE subjects into a five-point grade is not used, many still want to interpret their result in a more familiar "school" system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

The second method is a little easier and more convenient than searching for the desired values in the cells of a huge table. Simply select a subject (mathematics, Russian, chemistry, physics, history, English, social studies ... and other subjects), enter the data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.
We suggest trying how simple and convenient it is to use in practice the online calculators of the USE score and its conversion to a 5-point grade.

Internet systems for applicants
The academic year 2017-2018 is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for transferring primary scores showed that the USE 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 formed 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 will be.
Often, at the TOP faculties, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget. Only winners of the Olympiads, who give significant additional points, have a chance to see their last name in the lists of applicants for such areas.
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
- HSE calculator
- Postyplenie.ru
- Typical entrant
Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.

The number of participants in the USE in physics in 2018 (main day) was 150,650 people, including 99.1% of graduates of the current year. The number of participants in the exam is comparable to the previous year (155,281 people), but lower than the number in 2016 (167,472 people). In percentage terms, the number of participants in the USE in physics amounted to 23% of the total number of graduates, which is slightly lower than last year. A slight decrease in the number of students taking the USE in physics may be due to an increase in universities that accept informatics as an entrance test.
The largest number of USE participants in physics is noted in Moscow (10,668), the Moscow Region (6,546), St. Petersburg (5,652), the Republic of Bashkortostan (5,271) and the Krasnodar Territory (5,060).
The average USE score in physics in 2018 was 53.22, which is comparable to last year's score (53.16 test scores). The maximum test score was scored by 269 exam participants from 44 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in the previous year there were 278 people with 100 points. The minimum USE score in physics in 2018, as in 2017, was 36 TB, but in primary scores it was 11 points, compared to 9 primary points in the previous year. The proportion of exam participants who did not pass the minimum score in 2018 was 5.9%, which is slightly higher than those who did not reach the minimum score in 2017 (3.79%).
Compared to the previous two years, the proportion of poorly trained participants slightly increased (21-40 tb). The share of high-scorers (61-100 TB) increased, reaching the maximum values for three years. This allows us to talk about the strengthening of differentiation in the training of graduates and the growth in the quality of training of students studying the profile course of physics.
In 2018, the proportion of exam participants who scored 81-100 points was 5.61%, which is higher than in 2017 (4.94%). For the USE in physics, the range from 61 to 100 test scores is significant, which demonstrates the readiness of graduates to successfully continue their education in universities. This year, this group of graduates increased compared to the previous year and amounted to 24.22%.
More detailed analytical and methodological materials of the USE 2018 are available at the link.
Our website contains about 3000 tasks for preparing for the exam in physics in 2019. The general plan of the examination paper is presented below.

Correspondence between the minimum primary scores and the minimum test scores of 2019. Order on amendments to Appendix No. 1 to the order of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science.
THRESHOLD SCORE
By order of Rosobrnadzor, a minimum number of points is established, confirming the mastering of the main general educational programs of secondary (complete) general education by the participants in the exams in accordance with the requirements of the federal state educational standard of secondary (complete) general education. THRESHOLD FOR PHYSICS: 11 primary points (36 test points).
EXAM FORMS
You can download the forms in high quality from the link.
WHAT YOU CAN BRING WITH YOU TO THE EXAM
At the physics exam, the use of a ruler for plotting graphs, optical and electrical circuits is allowed; a non-programmable calculator that performs arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, root extraction) and the calculation of trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tg, ctg, arcsin, arcos, arctg), and also does not perform the functions of a communication facility, database storage and not having access to data networks (including the Internet). .
How the results of the exam are evaluated
The results of the Unified State Examination are evaluated on a 100-point scale and put up in a special "Certificate of the results of the unified state exam."
When evaluating the results of the USE, a minimum number of test scores for each educational subject is established, confirming that the graduate has mastered the basic general education programs of secondary (complete) education in accordance with the requirements of the federal educational standard of secondary (complete) general education. If the student scored less than the established minimum number of points (did not overcome the minimum threshold), then the exam is considered not passed.
The value of the minimum threshold is announced within 6-8 days after the USE in the subject in the main terms and 2-3 days after the USE in additional terms in July.
USE assessment scale
When you complete tasks on the exam, 1 or more points are awarded for each correct solution, depending on the complexity. At the same time, a correctly completed task of part A or B is estimated at 1 point, part C - up to 4 points. The sum of these scores is called the Primary Score (PB). In fact, this is the number of correctly completed tasks.
- The number of minimum PBs for different subjects may vary, for example:
- mathematics: 36 PB,
- biology: 36 PB,
- foreign languages: 22 PB.
But these are not the points that will be useful to you, for example, for entering a university. They need to be translated on a 100-point scale. This is the so-called "test score" (TB).
TB assesses the level of preparedness of the student. It depends on the level of difficulty of the completed tasks on the exam. This score is used to determine the final grade. The maximum test score for the exam in any subject: 100 points.
The primary score is converted into a test score using a special formula.

How the exam affects the receipt of a certificate
The basis for issuing a certificate of secondary education to a graduate is the satisfactory results of the Unified State Examination, i.e., the number of points is not lower than the minimum threshold in compulsory subjects (Russian language and mathematics). In this case, the graduate receives 2 documents: a school certificate and a certificate of USE results.
The final grades are set in the certificate according to the traditional 5-point system, which are defined as the arithmetic mean of the graduate's annual grades for grades 10-11 (12).
The results of the USE do not affect the final grades given in the certificate.
If a graduate has not overcome the minimum threshold in one of the subjects - Russian language or mathematics - at the Unified State Examination in the main terms and during the retake, then a certificate is not issued to him.
How and when you can find out the results of the exam
The results of the exam must be known to the participants no later than 3 working days after Rosobrnadzor announces the minimum thresholds for each of the subjects. Thus, no more than 12 days pass from the date of the exam. Most regions inform their USE participants at an earlier date.
For USE participants - graduates of the current year, certificates of USE results are issued at an educational institution. The rest of the USE participants will find out their results where they received a pass for the USE: this is either the PES in which they passed the exam, or the education authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, local education authorities.
According to the current regulations, each subject of the Russian Federation is independently responsible for informing USE participants about the results. In some regions, this information can be accessed online for free. You can find out your results by having an individual code (passport number, etc.).
- Moscow and Moscow region: www.rcoi.net
- St. Petersburg and Leningrad region: ege.spb.ru
Lists of USE participants with their exam results are posted on information stands (at school, PES, education authority, etc.).
Validity of the certificate of the results of the exam
On November 20, 2013, letter No. DL-345/17 of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation “On the effect of the USE results” was published.
“The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia on the issue of the validity of the results of the unified state exam obtained before the entry into force on September 1, 2013 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Law), reports .
According to Part 2 of Article 70 of the Federal Law, the results of the unified state examination for admission to study in undergraduate and specialist programs valid for four years following the year in which such results were obtained.
Therefore, admission to organizations that carry out educational activities in bachelor's and specialist's programs is allowed based on the results of the unified state exam, confirmed by USE certificates issued in 2015 and 2016, and valid until the end of 2019 and 2020, respectively.
The USE certificate after September 1, 2020 is valid for four years following the year the exam was taken. That is, the certificate of 2018 expires in December 2022 and can be used for admission to universities in the period from 2018 to 2022. Therefore, certificates issued in 2019 and 2020 are valid until 2023 and 2024, respectively.
On this page you will find a scale for converting exam scores into grades in all subjects. It is also possible to find out when the results of the exam will be known. In addition, you may be interested in who checks the exam forms and how.

USE Score Transfer Scale 2014
USE score conversion formula
The scale for converting primary USE scores into test scores is shown in the table. YOU can also calculate your score using the formula below.
where t is the USE test score on a 100-point system that goes into the USE certificate, 0 is the primary score of the person who passed the USE, 0 min is the score corresponding to one primary score, 0max is the score corresponding to the primary score, one less than the maximum possible. Round the result to an integer. Zero primary score corresponds to 0 points for the USE, and the maximum primary score corresponds to 100 points for the USE.
