The twentieth task of the Unified State Examination in social studies is the last of the test part of the exam. It provides text with missing concepts; the task of the examiner is to find the correct concept for each gap in the list.

The main difficulty lies in the fact that there are usually 6 gaps in the text, and 9 options are given for selection - therefore, it will not work here by the elimination method. In addition, the options are often quite close to each other. The task can relate to absolutely any topic from the course of social science, therefore it can be done well only if there is a confident knowledge of the theory. However, words related to missing words in a sentence can act as clues - often, taking into account their gender, number, you can at least roughly determine which word should be in the place of the gap: a noun or an adjective, feminine or masculine.

The level of difficulty of the 20th task of the Unified State Examination in social studies is assessed as increased, the maximum possible score is 2; it is put in the complete absence of errors. If there is one mistake, 1 point is given, if two or more mistakes are made - 0 points.

Task execution algorithm

1. We read the text and study the list of given options;
2. We arrange the missing words - either in turn, or, in case of difficulty, we start with what we are sure of, and then think about the rest;
3. We read the text with inserted words and check how they fit in the meaning;
4. We write down the answer.

Analysis of typical options for tasks No. 20 USE in social studies

The first version of the assignment

“The motive _________ (A) is what it is for, what motivates it. A specific _________ (B) usually acts as an incentive, which is satisfied in the course and with the help of activities. This is a certain form of communication between living organisms and the outside world, necessary for the existence of _________ (B), a social group, society as a whole. _________ (D) needs are caused by the biological nature of man. These are the needs of people in everything that is necessary for their existence, development and reproduction. _________ (D) needs are related to the fact that a person belongs to society, occupies a certain place in it, participates in work activities and communication with other people. _________ (E) needs are associated with a person's knowledge of the world around him, his place in it and the meaning of his existence. Each of the groups of needs corresponds to a certain type of activity.

Answer options:

1. Nature
2. Need
3. Activity
4. Natural
5. Individual
6. Individuality
7. Spiritual
8. Global
9. Social

After reading the text, it is easy to determine that its main theme is activity. It is this word that must be inserted in the first gap; this is indicated both by the pronoun "she" and by the fact that she has motives. In the next gap, we insert the word “need” - needs are the basis of activity and they can be satisfied. Under the letter B will be the word "individual"; "individuality" does not fit here, since then we are talking about a social group and society as a whole. The biological nature of a person causes natural needs - under the letter G we put "natural". Next, we are talking about social needs associated with social relations. In place of the last pass there should be “spiritual” - spiritual needs are associated with the knowledge of the world.

BUT	B	AT	G	D	E

The second version of the task

Read the text below with some missing words. Choose from the list of words that you want to insert in place of the gaps. Note that in the list the words are given in the nominative case, and each word can only be used once. Also note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the gaps. Enter in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

“The presidential republic is characterized by the combination in the hands of the president of the powers of the head of ______ (A) and the head of the executive branch. The post of prime minister in such a republic, as a rule, is absent. The president of the country is elected by extra-parliamentary means: either by popular ________ (B) (as, for example, in Argentina), or by an electoral college (as, say, in the USA). This ensures the independence of the source ________ (B) of the president from parliament. The President also receives the right _______ (D) in relation to parliamentary decisions: he can return any ______ (D) to the supreme legislative body for reconsideration. But if the parliament votes for it for the second time, by a qualified majority in both chambers, then the project becomes a law, acquires _________ (E), regardless of the opinion of the president. The president also does not have the right to dissolve parliament."

Answer options:

1. Power
2. Legal force
3. State
4. Vote
5. Bill
6. Form of government
7. Elective
8. Suspensive veto
9. Political regime

Under the letter "A" we put the state - after all, the president is the head of state, other words do not fit here. The next missing word is “voting”, which is easy to determine from the clue words “elected” and “popular”. In place of the letter B we put "power" - a fairly stable combination of "source of power". The next sentence describes the right of suspensive veto - this word will be under the letter G. The letter D - "bill"; this follows from the context of both this and the following sentence, and other words do not fit here. In the last pass, there should be a combination of "legal force", which the law acquires by circumventing the presidential suspensive veto by Parliament.

The third version of the task

Read the text below with some missing words. Choose from the list of words that you want to insert in place of the gaps. Note that in the list the words are given in the nominative case, and each word can only be used once. Also note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the gaps. Enter in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

“The formation of _________ (A) labor may be accompanied by conflicts between employers and employees. The main method of protecting the interests of _____(B) is the creation of trade unions that negotiate on behalf of all their members. Trade unions usually try to get better conditions and raise ____ (B) of their members, as well as increase their wages. This makes work more pleasant and profitable for union members, but at the same time reduces ______ (D) employment and leads to an increase in the price of goods for buyers, if the profit margin in the price of goods does not decrease. Wages should not fall below the minimum level, the basis for the calculation of which is ___ (D). The minimum wage is set and changed by ____________(E) authorities.”

Answer options:

1. Unemployment
2. Wage-earners
3. Safety
4. Market price
5. Living wage
6. Speciality
7. Labor Code
8. Economic boundaries
9. Legislatures

Under the letter A - "market price"; perhaps this combination sounds somewhat unusual, but other words do not fit here. The next word is "employees"; after all, they are the ones who join trade unions to protect their interests. Under the letter B, we insert the combination "labor safety" - none of the remaining words make sense. Next, we talk about the economic boundaries of employment. The next is the “living wage”; It is he who serves as the basis for calculating the minimum wage. The minimum wage and the living wage are set by the legislative authorities - this combination should be in place of the letter E.

The fourth option

Read the text below with some missing words. Choose from the list of words that you want to insert in place of the gaps. Note that in the list the words are given in the nominative case, and each word can only be used once. Also note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the gaps. Enter in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

“______(A) is acquired with the birth of a person and ceases with his death. Full ________ (B) arises from the age of majority (from 18 years of age) or earlier, in case of marriage before 18 years of age. Legal representatives bear property liability for minors under 14 years of age for all transactions, unless they prove that the obligation was violated not on their _________ (B). Legal representatives are responsible for the harm caused by _________ (D). At the request of the parents, ________(D) may restrict or deprive a minor between the ages of 14 and 18 of the right to independently manage his earnings, scholarships, and other income. A citizen who abuses alcohol or drugs, if by doing so he puts his family in a difficult financial situation, may be limited by the court in capacity, in relation to him ________ (E) may be established.

Answer options:

1. coming of age
2. Guilt
3. guardianship
4. Legal capacity
5. Delicacy
6. Underage
7. Opportunity to conclude an employment contract
8. legal capacity

First, we are talking about legal capacity - any person from the moment of birth becomes a citizen and has a certain set of rights. But in place of the letter B we put “capacity” - a person becomes fully capable with the onset of adulthood. The next word is "guilt" - others simply do not fit here. In the gap under the letter G, based on the meaning of the sentences, you need to insert the word "juvenile", and under the letter D - "court". We fill in the last gap with the word “guardianship” - it is established in case of disability.

Fifth option

Read the text below with some missing words. Choose from the list of words that you want to insert in place of the gaps. Note that in the list the words are given in the nominative case, and each word can only be used once. Also note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the gaps. Enter in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

“Social __________ (A) reflects social difference, inequality and, in accordance with this, the position of people in society. In primitive society, ___________ (B) was insignificant, so there was almost no stratification there. In complex societies, the social status of a social group depends on the size of _____________ (C), the level of education, access to power, ___________ (D) of the position held. Castes arose, then estates, and later classes. In some societies, the transition from one social ___________ (D) to another is prohibited. There are societies where such a transition is limited, and there are societies where it is completely allowed. The freedom of social __________(E) determines whether a society is closed or open.”

Answer options:

1. Income
2. bundle
3. Prestige
4. The level of education
5. Strata
6. Mobility
7. Influence
8. Responsibilities
9. Stratification

The first missing word is "stratification"; it reflects social division, inequality, difference. The almost complete absence of stratification means a slight stratification - in place of the letter B we insert “stratification”. The following is a list of stratification criteria, and one of them is the amount of income; under the letter B we put "income". Another criterion is the prestige of the profession; therefore, the letter G is “prestige”. The specific social stratum in which the individual is located is called "stratum" - this word fills in the gap under the letter D. The transition from one stratum to another is social mobility, the freedom of which is referred to in the last sentence, so this word should be under the letter E.

The sixth option

Read the text below with some missing words. Choose from the list of words that you want to insert in place of the gaps. Note that in the list the words are given in the nominative case, and each word can only be used once. Also note that there are more words in the list than you will need to fill in the gaps. Enter in the table under each letter the number of the word you have chosen.

“Scientists distinguish several groups of global problems of modern society. The first group of problems is related to relations between countries. The elimination of _______ (A) economic development, the preservation of peace is both a solution to the problem of human health and the problem of the quality of the development of natural resources. Stopping ________(B) also prevents environmental pollution on a planetary scale. The second group includes problems of direct ______ (B) nature and society. This, for example, is the depletion of _______ (D) of the bowels of the Earth and the World Ocean. In this case, the problem of nature and society is the problem of the biological foundations of life mediated by ___________ (D). The third group of problems reflects the interaction between man and society. These include, for example, the problems of __________ (E), health, cultural heritage.

Answer options:

1. Population
2. Mutual Aid
3. Arms race
4. society
5. Interaction
6. community development
7. unevenness
8. social conditions
9. Natural resources

This text will be fairly easy to work through if you are familiar with the subject of global issues. In the first case, the word "unevenness" is omitted - it is this that must be eliminated. Under the letter B should be "arms race" - nothing else fits here, and the arms race really led to the pollution of the natural environment on a large scale. Then we are talking about the interaction of nature and society - the word "mutual assistance" in this context is not suitable. The letter G - "natural resources"; their depletion is one of the most urgent problems. Under the letter D, you need to put the combination “social conditions” - perhaps this does not sound very familiar, but nothing else fits the meaning. The last pass should have "population" - given that one of the global problems is called overpopulation of the planet.

Evaluation criteria

To begin with, let's dwell on the criteria for evaluating an essay, because if you fill up one important criterion, then the entire essay will go down the drain. We are talking about the criterion K1 -revealing the meaning of the statement . If the graduate incorrectly revealed the meaning of the statement, that is, he did not identify the problem posed by the author, and the expert gave 0 points according to the K1 criterion, then the answer is not checked further, and 0 points are given according to the remaining criteria (K2, K3).

2

The actual argumentation is given based only on personal social experience and everyday ideas.
OR given example(s) from a source of the same type

No actual information
OR the given facts do not correspond to the thesis being substantiated

Maximum score

It is in accordance with the specified criteria that your essay will be checked and evaluated.

Essay structure

1. Quote.

3. The meaning of the statement.

4. Own point of view.

5. Argumentation at the theoretical level.

6. At least two examples from social practice, history and / or literature, confirming the correctness of the statements made.

7. Conclusion.

1. Choice of utterance

Choosing phrases for an essayyou must be sure that

own the basic concepts of the basic science to which it refers;

clearly understand the meaning of the statement;

you can express your own opinion (fully or partially agree with the statement or refute it);

know the social science terms necessary for a competent justification of a personal position at a theoretical level (at the same time, the terms and concepts used must clearly correspond to the topic of the essay and not go beyond it);

be able to give examples from social practice, history, literature, as well as personal life experience to support your own opinion.

2. Defining the problem of utterance

3. Formulation of the main idea of ​​the statement
Next, you need to reveal the meaning of the statement, but you should not repeat the statement verbatim. In this case, you can use the following clichés:

"The meaning of this statement is that..."

4. Determining your position on the statement
Here you canagree with the author completely , canpartially , refuting a certain part of the statement, orargue with the author, expressing the opposite opinion. In this case, you can use cliché phrases:

“It is impossible not to agree with the author of this statement about ...”

“Let me disagree with the author’s opinion that ...”

“In part, I adhere to the author’s point of view about ..., but I cannot agree with ...”

“Have you thought about the fact that ...?”

5-6. Argumentation of one's own opinion
Next, you should justify your own opinion on this issue. To do this, it is necessary to select arguments (evidence), that is, to recall the basic terms, theoretical provisions.
Argumentation should be carried out at two levels:
1. Theoretical level - its basis is social science knowledge (concepts, terms, contradictions, directions of scientific thought, interconnections, as well as the opinions of scientists, thinkers).
2. Empirical level - There are two options here:
a) using examples from history, literature and events in society;
b) appeal to personal experience.

When selecting facts, examples from public life and personal social experience, mentally answer yourself the following questions:
1. Do they support my opinion?
2. Could they be interpreted differently?
3. Do they contradict my thesis?
4. Are they persuasive?
The proposed form will allow you to strictly control the adequacy of the arguments presented and prevent "going off topic" .

7. Conclusion
Finally, we need to formulate a conclusion. The conclusion should not coincide verbatim with the judgment given for justification: it brings togetherin one or two sentences, the main ideas of the arguments and sums up the reasoning , confirming the correctness or incorrectness of the judgment that was the topic of the essay.
To formulate a problematic conclusion, cliché phrases can be used:
“Thus, we can conclude ...”
“Summing up a general line, I would like to note that ...”

Ready essays on social studies

"Do I have a right or an obligation?"

The Constitution of the Russian Federation provides for both the observance of the rights and observance of the duties of all people who are on the territory of the Russian Federation. But what comes first: rights or obligations?

Let's take the Constitution. Article 30 states: "Everyone has the right to associate, including the right to form trade unions for the protection of his interests." This paragraph refers only to the rights, but further follows the explanation: "The freedom of activity of public associations is guaranteed." Since it is “guaranteed”, it means that someone is obliged to ensure that this right is observed. So you can parse any article, any law, and the rights of one will always be the duties of another.

It can be recalled that in no Utopia was there a section of society completely devoid of duties. Under communism, people tried to build a society of equal opportunities, equal rights, but in no case deprive this society of duties for the sake of prosperity.

Thus, duties are always present, but there are no rights. The slaves in Rome and the sudras in India were practically disenfranchised. The state saw in them only a labor force.

Rights must be earned. It was labor, as F. Engels said, that brought the monkey into people. And, passing through the spirals of the evolutionary process, a person acquires more and more new duties, which are becoming more and more difficult to fulfill. But, at the same time, new rights.

I believe that duties take precedence over rights (and this question is NOT the same as the question "Which came first - the egg or the chicken?"). And, only by fulfilling my duties towards others, I have the right to demand that others respect my rights.

“Nature creates a person, but develops and forms his society” (V. G. Belinsky).

Man is a biological and social being. All his life he goes through the process of socialization - familiarization with traditional values, the foundations of the world around him. This process is limited by two poles: birth and death. From early childhood, a person is surrounded by primary agents of socialization: family, kindergarten, school. The formation of character and worldviews are the main tasks of primary agents. Secondary agents of socialization, such as universities, professional institutions, the workplace, form a picture of the vast surrounding world and a person's place in it. Thanks to the agents of socialization, a person becomes a personality, shows his individual characteristics and abilities in interaction with people. A person can determine who he is by comparing himself with other people, listening to the opinions of others. According to Maslow's theory, there is a pyramid of human needs. The foundation of the pyramid is biological needs (thirst, hunger, sleep, procreation); in the middle of the pyramid are social needs (labor, self-realization); and the highest are spiritual needs (knowledge, worldview). All needs are closely related. A person cannot live without food, water, and air, and then he cannot live without communication with other people. History knows the facts that without communication with people a person goes crazy, and without developing his intellectual abilities, he ceases to be a person and lives at the natural level, satisfying biological needs.

Thus, the fundamental basis of a person is his biological essence, and the core basis is his social essence. I fully agree with the opinion of the famous writer V. G. Belinsky that “nature creates a person, but develops and forms his society”.

“Progress is a movement in a circle, but faster and faster.” L. Levinson .

Humanity is in constant motion. Science, technology, the human mind are developing, and if we compare the primitive and our days, it is clear that human society is progressing. From the primitive herd we came to the state, from primitive tools to perfect technology, and if earlier a person could not explain such natural phenomena as a thunderstorm or a change of year, by now he has already mastered space. Based on these considerations, I cannot agree with L. Levinson's point of view on progress as a cyclical movement. In my opinion, such an understanding of history means marking time without moving forward, constant repetition.

Time will never turn back, no matter what factors contribute to the regression. Man will always solve any problem and will not allow his kind to die out.

Of course, there have always been ups and downs in history, and therefore I believe that the graph of human progress is an upward broken line, in which ups predominate in magnitude over downs, but not a straight line or a circle. This can be seen by recalling some historical or life facts.

In the first place, downturns in the progress graph create wars. For example, Russia began its history as a powerful state, able to outstrip any other in its development. But as a result of the Tatar-Mongol invasion, it lagged behind for many years, there was a decline in culture, the development of the country's life. But, despite everything, Russia stood up and continued to move forward.

Secondly, the progress of society is hindered by such a form of organization of power as a dictatorship. In the absence of freedom, society cannot progress; a person turns from a thinking being into a tool in the hands of a dictator. This can be seen in the example of fascist Germany: Hitler's regime of power slowed down political progress, the development of freedom and human rights, and democratic institutions of power for decades.

Thirdly, oddly enough, but sometimes recessions in the development of society occur through the fault of the person himself, i.e. associated with scientific and technological progress. Many people now prefer communication with machines to human communication. As a result, the level of humanity is falling. The invention of nuclear reactors is, of course, a great discovery that allows saving natural energy resources, but in addition to nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons were also created, which brought incalculable misfortunes to people and nature. An example of this is the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the explosion in Chernobyl. Nevertheless, humanity has come to its senses, realizing the real threat of such weapons: many countries now have a moratorium on the production of nuclear weapons.

Thus, the progress of the human mind and society as a whole and the predominance in history of the positive actions of people over their mistakes are obvious. It is also obvious that social progress is not an endless movement in a circle, which, in principle, cannot be considered progress, but a movement forward and only forward.

There are constant discussions in society about the exam. Some are convinced that the Unified State Examination should be abolished and a return to the Soviet system of examining students is needed. However, there is another point of view: the USE allows you to check the level of knowledge of students and give way to graduates from the provinces to enter prestigious metropolitan universities. To date, there are two mandatory exams - Russian language and mathematics. Next, the graduate selects from the school curriculum those subjects for which the results must be presented at the selected university. The Unified State Examination in Social Studies 2019 is interesting because it is integrated and allows graduates to feel like a lawyer, sociologist, economist, political scientist or lawyer.

Important documents

The preparation of students for the Unified State Exam in social studies should be based on several documents, which can be found on the FIPI website:

No. p / p	Document's name
1	specifier
2	Codifier
3	Demonstrative option

On the FIPI website, you can also find information about the date of the exam and solve the options for KIMs.

What can be learned from the Specification?

From this document you can find out that this exam consists of 29 tasks. 20 of them - in part 1, 9 - in the second.

In the first part, 20 tasks have a maximum primary score of 35. And the tasks in the second part -29.

Codifier

The Codifier has a short list of legal acts that you need to get acquainted with:

1. Constitution.
2. Civil Code (separate chapters).
3. Family Code (separate chapters).
4. Labor Code (separate chapters).
5. Code of Administrative Offenses.
6. Federal law on citizenship.
7. Law on military service and others.

Knowledge of these documents is necessary in order to successfully pass the exam in social studies and get high results.

Demonstrative option

A demo version of the Unified State Exam in social studies is needed in order to get acquainted with the approximate types of tasks that will be in the control and measuring materials directly at the exam.

Much attention should be paid here to the system of evaluation of examination papers. This is necessary so that the graduate clearly understands how exactly it is necessary to complete the tasks of the 2nd part, where there is a detailed answer.

If an eleventh grader sees two question marks in an assignment, then two answers must be given.

About the task structure

Tasks 1 - 3 (basic level) and task 20 are conceptual, checking the level of preparation of graduates.

4-6 - these are tasks that are aimed at testing the formation of the skills of students in grade 11 in the topic "Man and Society", including knowledge and spiritual culture.

7-10 is Economics.

11-12 - "Social relations".

13-15 - tasks from the "Politics" area. Always in task No. 14, positions from the Codifier 4.14 and 4.1 are checked. (“State authorities of the Russian Federation” and “Federal structure of the Russian Federation”).

16-19 are assignments on the topic "Law". You can be sure that task 16 is always aimed at knowing the basics of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation. Each graduate of the school must be an active citizen of our state, understanding in which state he lives, knowing the foundations of his state, the rights and obligations guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

Part 2 (9 tasks) represents in aggregate the basic social sciences that form the entire course of the secondary school:

• Philosophy.
• Sociology.
• Political science.

Tasks 21 - 24 are combined into one composite task with a fragment of a popular science text, aimed at testing the ability to find the main thing from the text.

Tasks No. 21 and No. 22 strictly according to the text. You only need to find the sentence that contains the answer.

In task 23, an additional task is given for this text, for example:

• illustrate any provision in the text with an example;
• give an appropriate argument, etc.

The 24th task involves the use of text information, but knowledge of the course "Social Studies" as a whole is also required.

The 25th task tests the ability to reveal key social science concepts. The graduate must here show the semantic basis of the concept, highlight the main idea.

No. 26 tests the ability to concretize the studied theoretical positions and concepts with examples. Examples are an opportunity for experts to see how theoretical knowledge a graduate can apply in life.

Task 27 requires the analysis of the information presented, including statistical, graphic, explanation of the relationship of social objects.

The 28th task is a detailed answer on the topic. A student of the 11th grade must systematically show what he knows on the topic. In 2018, 1 point was added in the grading system to this task (4 points in total for the task). There should be three points of the plan, two of which are disclosed in subparagraphs.

The last task, No. 29, is an alternative one (presented in five options). This is a mini essay. It is necessary to choose one statement from the presented ones and reveal the meaning of the statement, present the theoretical content, identifying key concepts and illustrate with examples and facts. Here, since 2018, 1 point has been added, dedicated to the correctness of the use of theoretical concepts, provisions and reasoning.

Changes in the exam in society

In 2018, there were some changes in the social studies exam assessment system.

The maximum primary score that can be scored on the Unified State Exam in social studies is 64 points.

About 5 social science life hacks that will help you pass the exam, you can see here:

Russian language and mathematics. According to data from previous years, almost half of the graduates (49%) pass social studies. And this is not surprising, since the Unified State Examination in social studies is necessary for admission to all humanitarian specialties.

In fact, the subject "social science" includes information on various aspects of society, studied within the whole class of humanities: economics, law, philosophy, sociology, political science and, to some extent, history.

The version of the KIM Unified State Examination in social studies has undergone minor changes. The developers have revised the difficulty of tasks 28 and 29, due to which the maximum primary score for the entire test has increased from 62 to 64.

EGE assessment

Last year, in order to pass the Unified State Exam in social studies, at least for a three, it was enough to score 19 primary points. They were given, for example, correctly completed the first 13 tasks of the test.

How it will be in 2019 is still not known for sure: you need to wait for an official order from Rosobrnadzor on the correspondence of primary and test scores. It will most likely appear in December. Considering that the maximum primary score has increased from 62 to 64, it is very likely that the minimum score may also change slightly.

In the meantime, you can focus on these tables:

USE structure

In 2019, the USE test in social studies consists of two parts, including 29 tasks.

• Part 1: 20 tasks (No. 1–20) with a short answer (choose the correct answer from those offered, establish a correspondence between the elements of two sets, insert a missing word in the text);
• Part 2: 9 tasks (No. 21-29) with a detailed answer (answers to questions, mini-essays).

Preparation for the exam

• Pass USE tests online for free without registration and SMS. The presented tests are identical in their complexity and structure to the real exams held in the corresponding years.

• Download demo versions of the exam in social studies, which will allow you to better prepare for the exam and make it easier to pass it. All proposed tests were developed and approved for preparation for the Unified State Examination by the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). In the same FIPI, all official versions of the exam are being developed.

The tasks that you will see, most likely, will not be found on the exam, but there will be tasks similar to the demo ones on the same topic.

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 assessment 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?

During the examination of examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate receives the so-called “primary scores”, which, upon completion of the examination of the work, 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 scores 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:

1. Ucheba.ru
2. Apply online
3. HSE calculator
4. Postyplenie.ru
5. Typical entrant

Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.
