For several years in a row, school graduates have been taking a mandatory exam that can show the real level of their knowledge and help them enter the desired university. USE Exam Schedule 2017 somewhat changed.
According to the decision of the government, in 2017, the guys will start taking the exam from February. If they can type , then the test is over. If the passing score is not "taken", then schoolchildren will be tested in April as well.
In order to properly prepare for this crucial moment and get the desired certificates, many future graduates are already looking for the necessary literature, hiring tutors, and looking for video lessons on the net. In many schools, just a few days before the exam, preparatory classes begin to be held in order to slightly reduce the level of tension among students and give them hope that it is quite possible to pass the exam for a high score.
It is worth noting that only with the beginning of the academic year will it be possible to get acquainted with the full schedule of exams for 2017. But at the same time, anyone can personally draw up a preliminary plan for passing examination papers, starting from the dates of last year.
In principle, one or two days of difference do not play a special role, but the student will be able to accurately plan his free time and allocate several hours for preparation.
USE dates
Early Exam
If you want to pass the exams ahead of schedule and see what you are capable of, even before the start of the main part of the exam, then you can take the work in March. This approach allows students to significantly increase the scores of their certificates and increase the chances of entering a prestigious university.
If during the test your scores seemed unsatisfactory, then during the main part of the examination, you can radically change the picture. So, the schedule for the early exam is as follows.
Note that in 2016 the period from April 15 to April 23 was defined as a reserve period. In 2017, these will be the days:
- April 10 (Mon) reserve - geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT, foreign languages (oral), history;
- April 12 (Wed) reserve - foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology;
- April 14 (Fri) reserve - Russian language, mathematics B, P.
Main period
Reserve period
Reserve dates for exams are intended for those students who did not have time to get into the main period for good reasons. It should be remembered that there are only a few reasons that exempt from taking the exam in the main period. First of all, this is poor health, documented (certificate from a doctor).
In addition, a retake is provided in the delivery of the exam. As a rule, it takes place in September of the new academic year.
In the same year, for the first time, "autumn" days for passing the exam and GVE:
- September 5 (Tue) - Russian
- September 8 (Fri) — mathematics B
- September 16 (Sat) reserve - mathematics B, Russian
Changes in the exam
Already in 2016, all students felt the burden of changes that took place in the USE system. Officials continue to radically change the procedure for carrying out these works so that the process of checking knowledge is more accurate and transparent. The most important innovations are:
- The list of compulsory subjects has been increased to three. Recall that until 2016, graduates took only two subjects (Russian and mathematics). Now history will be included in the number of compulsory subjects. It will have to be taken not only in a test form, where it is possible to put answers at random, but also orally. In addition, a foreign language may become a presumptive compulsory subject. True, while officials are skeptical about this decision and intend to introduce this test closer to 2020.
- In total, at least 4 subjects will need to be passed at the USE in 2017. Depending on which university the future applicant enters, the names of these subjects may change.
- Knowledge testing in the subject "Informatics" is planned to be carried out on computers. By 2017, the Ministry of Education must prepare appropriate programs for this.
- The points earned on the exam affect the final certificate of the graduate.
- Mathematics will be taken in two standards: basic and profile.
Do not forget that you should not delay preparing for exams. During the school year, it is more difficult to set aside a few hours to devote them to the exam. Therefore, future graduates should get acquainted with possible questions at the exam already in the summer. Considering that all tests can be easily found on the Internet, this task becomes quite feasible.
The exam is held according to a single schedule, which is annually approved 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 schedule of the Unified State Examination 2017
In accordance with the timetable, exams in 2017 will be held in three stages: early, main and additional.
The early stage of the exam in 2017 will be held from March 14 to April 7. The main one is from May 29, 2017 to June 30.
The exam in the Russian language and mathematics of the basic level can also be passed in an additional period - from September 4 to 15.
As in 2016, the schedule, along with the reserve terms for conducting the Unified State Examination, the OGE and the GVE in individual academic subjects, provides for an additional reserve day for exams in all academic subjects. It is necessary for those participants who for some reason could not participate in the exam on the main or on the reserve day, for example, due to the coincidence of two selected subjects on the same day or absence for a good reason.
Dates of the Unified State Examination 2017
The early examination period, which is held in March-April, is intended mainly for graduates of previous years.
The main period is traditionally organized in May - June in all subjects for all graduates of the current year.
In an additional period in September, exams are held in compulsory subjects - Russian language and mathematics at the basic level.
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 wish to improve 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 one year later.
To participate in the USE, it is necessary to submit an application by February 1 (inclusive), which should list the subjects for which the participant plans to take the USE. The application can include any number of items.
School graduates of the current year apply for the USE at the place of study. The rest of those who wish must apply to the places of registration for passing the USE, determined by the educational authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation.
As the Minister of Education stated, in 2017 the system of the Unified State Examination is expected to undergo big changes. What new rules for passing the exam in 2017 are representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science talking about, we will try to tell you in more detail.
Rules for passing the exam in 2017
The most important news, which may disappoint some students: there is no talk of any abolition of the USE. The new Minister of Education, on the contrary, noted the need to maintain the system of the unified state exam and its further improvement. But the form of passing the exam, most likely, will undergo changes. And we will talk about the rejection of the test part.
The fact that tests have become obsolete as a form of knowledge testing 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 exam also implied the introduction of a third compulsory subject. History (or biology, according to some sources) was to be added to the pair “Russian language + mathematics”. 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, officials from the Ministry of Education assure.
Submission rules for subjects
Russian language
Before the start of the school year, there was talk of introducing a new part to the Russian language exam - "speaking", by analogy with English "speaking", that is, oral speech. However, the Ministry of Education decided to test this option first at the OGE, that is, at ninth graders. After the appropriate “running in”, the oral part of the exam will reach the Unified State Examination.
Thus, global changes in the Russian language exam are not expected. Innovations will be only in part of some tasks, and all innovations will be aimed at expanding the material and complicating it.
Mathematics
The division into two levels in the mathematics exam is still preserved. For those who decide to link their future profession with the humanities, it will be enough to pass only the basic exam, but those who want to enter engineering universities will have to take a more complex profile part. And in this part, small changes are possible: tasks of increased complexity can turn out to be really “high”, that is, requiring a non-standard approach to solving.
Physics
The physics exam will undergo the most serious and significant changes - the rejection of the test part. That is, students will no longer be able to guess the correct answer from the list of options provided. 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 in the USE list.
Biology
The test part will also be removed from the biology exam. Just like in physics, the place of tests is marked by a model with short answers. The main block of tasks will also be expanded: it will include new, in comparison with previous years, types of tasks. Those taking the exam will also need the ability to work with tables, graphs and diagrams - in the exam in biology there will be tasks for restoring the 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 task actually has. The developers seem to have decided to simplify the exam - in the Unified State Examination in Chemistry 2017, the number of tasks will decrease.
Social science, history, computer science, foreign language, geography remain practically unchanged. All these items, according to officials from the Ministry of Education, will not cause any problems for schoolchildren.
May 29 the main period of passing the exam starts. As in previous years, graduates will have to pass two mandatory exams and an unlimited number of elective exams.
Separately, it should be said about mathematics and a foreign language.
There is a basic and profile exam in mathematics. If a graduate after school is not going to enter higher education programs that require mathematics, then he may well limit himself to passing the basic exam. If he plans to storm the programs of technical, economic or natural sciences, he should take the profile version of the exam. However, nothing prevents you from choosing two options at once. But remember: if you pass the basic exam and fail the profile exam, you will no longer be able to retake the last one this year, you will have to wait for the next year. If you initially chose only the core math exam and fail to pass it, you will have another attempt this year. That is, for those who ironically decided to connect their student life with the exact sciences, it is still better to choose only a profile exam in mathematics.
Here the choice is between "take the oral part" or "not take". If you pass, then you have a chance to get 100 points for the entire exam. If you do not pass, then the maximum score for you is limited to 80 points. This is enough to get a high school diploma and enroll in a higher education program with low foreign language requirements. If you are a future linguist, philologist, journalist or other representative of the humanities and social sciences, you must definitely take the oral part.
What will change in the exam 2017
There are rumors on the Internet that supposedly in 2017 there will be more compulsory subjects. We hasten to assure you: this is not so. There are still two compulsory subjects - Russian and mathematics. The information is easy to check on the official page of Rosobrnadzor.
However, there are changes for individual exams. They relate to the structure and content of control and measuring materials (CMM).
Natural Science Subjects: Significant Changes
Biology:
- The total number of tasks has been reduced from 40 to 28.
- The maximum primary score is 59 (last year it was 61).
- The duration of the exam is 210 minutes (last year it was 180).
- New types of tasks appeared in part 1: fill in the missing elements of a diagram or table, find the correctly indicated symbols in the figure, analyze or summarize information in the form of text, graphs, diagrams, tables, etc.
Chemistry:
- Questions with a choice of one answer have been removed.
- Part 1 tasks have been regrouped into separate blocks. Now in each of them there is both a basic and an advanced level of difficulty.
- The total number of tasks has been reduced from 40 to 34.
- For tasks 9 and 17, the grading scale has changed. The correct answer now gives not one, but two points. These questions test the assimilation of knowledge about the genetic relationship of inorganic and organic substances.
- The maximum primary score for the entire exam is 60 (last year it was 64).
Physics
The changes concern only the first part of the exam:
- Questions with a choice of one answer have been removed.
- Added short answer questions.
Humanitarian Items: Minor Changes
Social science
In the first part there is a block of tasks that test knowledge of the law. Now it is structured like blocks that check the content of other sections of the course:
- Added task 17 to choose the right judgments.
- The numbering of tasks 18 (former 17), 19 (former 18) has been changed.
- Task 19, in the form in which it existed in the KIM of previous years, was excluded from the exam.
Story:
- Tasks 3 and 8 have changed the grading scale. The correct answer now gives not one, but two points.
- The wording of task 25 and the criteria for its evaluation have been improved.
The wording of task 3 of the oral part of the exam was clarified.
Over the past years, as we are all used to, schoolchildren in the 11th grade take mandatory exams, which should demonstrate their real levels of knowledge, help them enter a particular university, and receive the appropriate specialty. The schedule of exams for the next year has already been approved. The government's decision states that next year children will begin to take the Unified State Exam, starting from February. If they achieve the required number of points in this way, then the test will be completed at this stage. If the passing ball is not “taken”, then the students will face new tests in a couple of months after that, in April. In order to prepare for such a crucial moment in life with dignity, to receive certificates, you need to get to grips with it right now, find the appropriate literature, if you need to start studying additionally with tutors, get acquainted with special video lessons, accurately determine the subjects and start attending the so-called extracurricular classes for preparation for exams that are held at the school.
USE dates
In most schools, a few days before the exams themselves, they begin to conduct special classes for active preparation, consolidating knowledge, repeating long-past and forgotten material. it also helps to reduce the level of tension in children among the students themselves, instill in them real hope: pass the exam with the highest possible score. It is important to note that the academic year has already begun, and now there is already a list of subjects, a full schedule of exams for the coming year.
However, anyone who wished last summer, if desired, could form, so to speak, a preliminary exam plan based on dates from the previous year. By and large, the difference of a couple of days will not play a special role, but at the same time, the student will get an excellent opportunity to clearly plan his free time, allocating a couple of hours to prepare specifically for the exams.
Every year, Rosobrnadzor forms a clear plan for conducting the Unified State Exam. This year was no exception, and by the 10th of last month, the official schedule for the delivery of these works was adopted and approved.
Approved USE schedule for 2017.
An updated version of the schedule appeared in the so-called extra period for exams. So the GVE and the Unified State Examination should be held in September next year on the following dates:
- Russian language - September 4,
- basic mathematics, mathematics - September 7,
- reserve day in Russian - September 13
- reserve in mathematics and Russian language - September 15.
In the current version of the schedule, in comparison with the first, the periods of the main period for passing the GVE and the Unified State Examination were slightly adjusted. So, no exams should be held on May 26, although earlier on this day it was planned to hold the GVE and the Unified State Examination in geography.
The following days are fixed:
- May 29 - computer science, geography, ICT;
- May 31 - Russian;
- June 2 - history and chemistry;
- June 5 - basic mathematics of the Unified State Examination, mathematics of the GVE;
- June 7 - profile mathematics;
- June 9 - social studies;
- June 13 - literature and physics;
- June 15 - foreign language, biology;
- June 16 - foreign languages orally;
- June 17 - foreign language oral.
The indicators for reserve days have also changed slightly:
- June 19 - chemistry, geography, history, ICT and informatics,
- June 20 - physics, literature, social science
- June 21 biology, foreign language
- June 22 - foreign language;
- June 28 - basic and specialized mathematics,
- June 29 - Russian language,
- June 30 - the rest of the items are in reserve.
