An exam, especially such an important one as the Unified State Examination, is always a strong stress for both the graduate himself and his relatives. Sometimes it happens that the result of the exam is unsatisfactory, and the reasons for such an unsuccessful delivery are not necessarily explained by insufficient preparation.

There is a possibility to retake.

In order to get a satisfactory result, the student must score a certain number of points in subjects that are considered mandatory for passing. So far, there have been two such subjects: Russian language and mathematics, there is every reason to believe that in the current academic year, an essay or, for students with disabilities, a presentation will be added to them.

The minimum score in mathematics for several years in a row was 24. But last year, the results of the exam were much worse than in previous years, and the minimum score was reduced to 20. In Russian, the minimum score is 36. Let's say there was a big trouble: the student could not score the minimum number of points on the results of one exam. He will have the opportunity to retake this subject in the same year in extra time.

So, who can retake the exam in extra time, but still in the current year?

1. A graduate who finishes school this year and has already passed the Unified State Examination, but did not score the minimum score required for a positive result in one of the mandatory exams.
2. A student who has missed one of the mandatory exams, but has good reasons, for which he has the appropriate documents to confirm. What reasons will be recognized as valid?



Student's illness, if there is a corresponding certificate from a medical institution;

Final exams in college or technical school;

Family circumstances, the presence of which is also evidenced by the documents;

Documented reasons of a religious nature;

Education abroad, and obtaining a complete secondary education outside the Russian Federation.



3. A student who was unable to complete the exam, but had a good reason for it, and can also document its presence.
4. A graduate whose examination results were canceled by the state examination commission in accordance with the provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

In order for these categories of students to be allowed to take the exam at extra time, but still in the current year, they must submit an application to the local education authority as soon as possible (usually before July 5, but a more accurate date needs to be clarified with the department of education). And attach to the application documents proving a good reason for the need to retake. Only then will the student be assigned another day to take the exam, from those indicated in the unified USE schedule.

In case of failure, you will have to come back in a year.

So, a student can retake one mandatory exam, but only once. It also happens that the minimum scores were not scored immediately in two compulsory subjects. Well, in this case, the student does not receive the right to retake the exam this year, and he will have to retake the exams only the next year, along with graduates who will graduate from school in a year. This student will not receive either a certificate or a certificate of passing the exam in the current year. All that will be given to him now is a certificate stating that he studied at school and listened to a number of school subjects ..

In addition to the compulsory subjects, there are those that the student takes of his own choice. What to do if, for some reason, a student does not score the required minimum number of points in the subject that he chose himself (not in Russian, and not in mathematics)? Unfortunately, the student will be able to retake this subject only the next year. And what will happen to the certificate in this case? He will receive a certificate of secondary education, like the rest.

Submitting an appeal

Immediately after the exam, the student may file an appeal if he/she believes that he/she did not do well enough in the exam due to a violation of the procedure. Usually the appeal is considered within two to three days, and then the result is sent to the school.

If the appeal is successful, the score will be cancelled. In this case, the student will have a chance to retake the exam on an additional day. The conflict committee may, with a favorable outcome, add no more than two points to the assessment. If the student does not agree with the conclusions of the commission, he can apply to a higher-level authority - to the city conflict commission. There, with a favorable decision, you can add no more than 8 points to the assessment, although the review time will be approximately 10 days. When filing an appeal, you need to keep in mind that it can both increase the assessment, and leave it unchanged, and even reduce it.

Alternatives

So, we have decided on the terms of the possible transfer. What to do next? Most importantly, don't panic. You can always find a way out. For example, you can go the other way and spend the whole year preparing.

How to prepare? There are a lot of options: you can study on your own, you can find a tutor who prepares specifically for passing the exam, or you can attend special training courses. Today, there are a number of organizations offering fast and high-quality training.

Many universities open preparatory courses, which focus on preparing for the exam. In addition, in the process of studying for them, teachers are trying to remove the difference between the program of a secondary school and an institute. Preparation in a regular school does not allow you to assimilate the material that is offered at the university in the first year. Preparatory courses successfully solve this problem.

You can not waste a whole year waiting for a retake, but get a secondary specialized education remotely by enrolling in a university under a college program. This alternative solution has the following advantages:

1. it is possible to enter a college remotely without presenting the results of the exam;
2. in the process of learning, you can get two diplomas at once: first, SPO, and then VPO;
3. after two years of study in college, you can enter the university, subject to good study results.

The most complete and objective information on the USE can be found on the Official Information Portal of the Unified State Exam http://www.ege.edu.ru, the Official Information Portal of the Main State Exam http://oge.rf/.

We are analyzing the situation when you failed the main / additional subjects of the Unified State Examination and still want to enter this year. Is it real?

Frequently asked question: what to do if you did not score a minimum score on the exam in the main subject. Below we will analyze all the situations that occur when you do not pass the exam in mathematics / Russian, or in a secondary subject. I will break the article into a question and answer.

I didn’t pass the exam in mathematics / Russian language, what should I do?

To live on. If you want to enroll in a full-time study, then you have no choice but to wait for the next year. Due to the fact that the acceptance of documents for full-time education ends about a month before the September deadline for retaking the main subjects. A more detailed calendar is here.

That is: if you failed mathematics (basic or profile), and when entering a specialty, mathematics, for example, is not needed, then you still will not be able to apply. Since a certificate of secondary general education is issued only after successfully passing the exam in 2 main subjects: mathematics and the Russian language. If you initially aspire to a specialty where mathematics is not needed, then it is better to take the basic one. Failing basic math is not very good.

After unsuccessfully passing the exam in the main subjects, you can still have time to enter the correspondence course.

Didn't pass Society, Physics, or other advanced subjects

The situation is simpler than with mathematics and Russian. All that you risk in case of not passing the add. Subjects - the inability to enter the specialty where they are required. For example, you take physics and social studies additionally. They didn’t pass physics, they passed social studies - you enter specialties where social science is needed and that’s it.

On May 28, the main stage of the Unified State Examination began in Russia. This is a unified state exam that is mandatory for all students in grade 11. Based on its results, a school leaving certificate is issued and enrolled in universities.

Ekaterina Miroshkina

following the exam

The exams are taken strictly according to the schedule. In one day, one exam for all graduates of all cities.

On May 28, they took geography and computer science, on June 14 they write social science, and the main stage will end on June 20 with literature and physics. Then there will be spare days. A few more days are reserved for those who could not come for a good reason.

We have analyzed the complex issues that concern graduates and their parents during the exam period.

Can I change elective exams? If one item was indicated in the application, and now they decided to hand over another?

Additional exams could be chosen until February 1st. You can’t just change the list of exams - only for a good reason, with the permission of the commission and if there are at least two weeks left before the exam.

A good reason in such cases is, for example, when the university suddenly includes a new subject in the list of entrance examinations. This is a violation on the part of the university, but it happens.

If you chose several exams in reserve in February, you can not come to the one that is not needed.

Extras can be left out

For example, if computer science, physics, history and social studies were indicated in the application, and after computer science it became clear that there were enough points, you might not come to history and social studies. There will be nothing for this.

If a graduate decided to enter another university and he does not have enough exams, he will have to wait for the next year. This also happens: it is unpleasant, but not fatal.

What happens if you don't show up for the exam you need to take?

If you do not come for a good reason - for example, because of illness - you can take the exam on reserve days. After the main stage ends, those who missed it will be allowed to take exams. A good reason must be documented. If there are no documents, they will not be allowed to take exams on a reserve day.

If you do not pass the Russian language and basic mathematics at all, you will not be issued a school leaving certificate. But these items will be allowed to retake this year.

Do not come to the mandatory - only for a good reason

A missed elective exam can only be taken after one year.

If you realize that you will not be able to come to the exam, be sure to call the class teacher and subject teacher. They will tell you what to do next, where to go, what documents to collect and when you can retake. You can even call teachers late in the evening or early in the morning: during the exam period, they are usually always in touch, because sometimes more graduates are worried. At least that's what all the teachers we talked to told us.

When will the results of the exam be known?

Typically, reviews of all levels take a maximum of two weeks. Results may be published earlier, but no later than the scheduled date. The fastest way to check basic mathematics.

Who checks the work? How objective are the ratings?

Each work is checked by several people. The test part is checked by the computer. There is a clear instruction for verification, so subjectivity is almost excluded. There may be different interpretations for oral subjects or essay, but usually deviations are one or two points. If the inspectors have different grades, the result will be determined in favor of the graduate.

All forms are anonymous. Works for verification are distributed among experts automatically. No one knows that this particular student wrote a particular work. And the students do not know who will get their work, even if they try to leave some mark on the form.

After checking in their region, the work can be sent for cross-regional checking. And then, until March 1 of the next year, they are randomly checked again.

It's better not to deal with anyone.

Negotiating with the commission, looking for friends and paying money for a check is a huge risk. It's illegal. And yet no one can guarantee that everything will work out: the USE check is strictly controlled, including at the federal level. If something like this is discovered, everyone will be punished. And the results of the exam will not count at all, even if the work is really written well.

If you do not agree with the results, then what to do?

File an appeal. There are two working days for this after the results have become officially known.

The chance that it will be possible to win back one or two points is small. But if it is, it is better to use it: sometimes admission to a budget place depends on one point.

An appeal should be filed if you know for sure that, for example, the essay is written perfectly. You cannot appeal the test part based on the results of the answers. The maximum that you can count on is that during the check the signs were not so recognized, but there is little chance.

Sometimes, based on the results of the appeal, the number of points is reduced, although the graduate was counting on an increase. You need to think carefully before drawing attention to your work.

How to find out the answers to the exam in advance? They say they can be bought or found in other regions.

No. Leakage of USE results is excluded. If on some sites they offer to buy answers to tests, these are scammers. No one knows the content of the test materials before the students sit down at their desks and the exam officially begins.

Sometimes the teachers themselves say that they have learned what the options will be. Or one of the inspectors offers to buy them through an acquaintance. Don't trust anyone.

There are no answers to the exam. What they sell is not the answer

There have already been cases when parents paid 50 thousand rubles or even more, but there was not a single coincidence.

Teachers are not scammers, they want the best and they themselves can think that they got the right options. They sit and decide on the night before the exam, as if to help. And then at the exam it turns out that the tasks and answers are different.

There is only one benefit in such schemes: if you take any options somewhere and solve them yourself, this will help you better prepare for the exam.

Can I take my phone to the exam?

It is forbidden. Nothing can be taken to the exam, except for a passport and a pen. Some items are allowed to take a ruler, calculator or protractor. Where the exam is held, there are metal detectors at the entrance.

Even if you managed to carry the phone, it is still unlikely to be used. Here are some real situations where graduates tried to use the phone and failed.

Ivan put the phone in a pocket sewn to his shorts and said that the detector reacts to piercings. He carried the phone and left it in the toilet. I wanted to take time off during the exam and consult with the teacher through WhatsApp.

After the start of the exam, the inspectors inspected the toilets and removed all the stash with communication equipment from there. Going for the phone was a shame, and Ivan was left without a new Samsung. Until September, he was afraid that somehow it would be found out that it was his phone, and the exam results would be canceled.

Everything worked out: Ivan himself passed the exam and got a good score. If he had been caught, he would not have enrolled this year.

Anya carried the phone in her bra, safely hid it in the toilet, and no one found. During the exam, Anya took time off, took the phone, but could not use it. On the floor was a device to suppress the communication signal. The phone was useless.

At the Unified State Examination in mathematics, Anya relied on the phone: last year her friend succeeded. As a result, Anya missed five points and now her parents pay 80 thousand rubles a year.

Vitya carried the phone in a sneaker straight to the class where the exam is being held. I was afraid to leave it in the toilet, because they could find it. Vitya did not need a communication signal either: he was not going to write or call. He took a picture of the physics formulas with his phone in advance. I wanted to take time off and peep if a difficult task comes across.

Vitya almost succeeded. But at 10:30 the phone vibrated from the call of the grandmother, who was very worried about her grandson. Physics was not credited to him, he failed to enter a good technical university.

Some manage to carry the phone and use it. But this is a violation.

Can you carry cribs? Will they be able to use?

Theoretically, cheat sheets are easier to carry than a phone, but it’s better not to carry them in - this is also illegal. Evaluators are not allowed to ask a student to undress, feel them, or check their pockets. The metal detector does not react to cheat sheets, but they are found in the toilets and taken away even before the exam.

You will not be able to use cheat sheets or additional literature directly on the exam. Video cameras are installed in all rooms and broadcast on the Internet. It is monitored in real time and then selectively reviewed after the exam.

It also happens like this.

Zhenya wrote a list of words with the correct accent on masking tape and stuck it on her legs under her skirt.. Zhenya is an excellent student and knows Russian well, but all her friends did it, and she, too, just in case. The cheat sheet was not useful to her: she knew the words anyway.

Two hours later, Zhenya asked to go to the toilet and forgot about the adhesive tape. The cribs peeled off and slipped under the pantyhose to my knees. This was noticed by a member of the commission in the corridor. Zhenya was to be removed from the exam in disgrace. She miraculously and with tears managed to persuade the inspector not to report the violation. And although Zhenya was met halfway, she was so worried that she wrote the essay poorly and did not get enough points for the faculty of journalism. In fairness, almost all currently practicing journalists advise against going to journalism departments.

Vika and Liza made history cheat sheets for two. They also took the answers to the tests that were sold to them as real ones. So that they would not be caught, they divided it all in half. Classmates got into different audiences and agreed in advance to meet at 11 o'clock in the toilet.

They asked for leave, as agreed, at the same time, but did not take into account that they were being taken to different toilets - each was taken to the one that was closer. It was not possible to meet, and Lisa needed those cribs that Vika took with her.

Cheat sheets need to be written before the exam, only to better remember. Do not take them with you to the exam. There are no ideal options without risk, everything cannot be foreseen. Something can always go wrong, and not only the income to the budget, but also the school leaving certificate will be at risk.

Can I agree with the commission on the exam to help? Can they advise?

No, no one will tell you anything. You can ask a question only by filling out the form. It must be answered loudly and clearly. Calling a member of the commission to you and asking for help in a whisper will not work.

Such requests have no practical meaning. The commission is made up of teachers in other subjects or administrative workers.

Members of the commission are monitored by other members of the commission, public observers, Rosobrnadzor and the prosecutor's office. Everything is very strict. If someone helps a graduate, he will be fined.

If everything is correct on the draft, but there is an error on the form, what answer will be counted?

Always count the answer that is on the official letterhead. Drafts are not graded.

You need to properly allocate time to check the work and have time to rewrite everything without errors.

What if the exam becomes bad?

You need to contact a healthcare professional. He is always present in the audience. Then they will act according to the situation. If the work cannot be continued, it will be recorded, but the results will not be evaluated. It will be possible to hand over again on a reserve day.

If you need to take medication during the exam, it is allowed. If you need to drink juice, eat sweets or take an injection, you can do that too. You can bring water or a chocolate bar with you, but you won’t be able to use them as cheat sheets: everything will be checked. If they find the inscriptions, they will delete it without the right to retake it.

If this year there are not enough points, and there is no way to study for a fee, what then to do?

If you didn’t manage to score even a minimum in basic subjects, you won’t get a certificate. The main subjects will be offered to retake on a reserve day or in the fall.

If the scores are above the minimum, but still low, you can retake the exams in the desired subjects next year and choose the best result.

USE results are valid for four years. For example, if a graduate did well in Russian and biology, but got excited in mathematics and missed three points, you can retake mathematics in a year and apply to the university again.

Postponing admission just because there were not enough points in a prestigious university is unreasonable. Anything can happen in a year.

It's better to go to university than to wait a year

There is no guarantee that next year you will succeed in passing the exams well, and the passing score will not be increased. It is better to choose a faculty or university simpler, and then look for options for a transfer or to do it again.

Ksyusha wanted to become a microbiologist or virologist. Of the additional subjects, she chose biology and chemistry, but she did not succeed in entering the medical academy for free. In order not to lose a year, Ksyusha submitted documents to the Institute of Food Production, where chemistry was also needed. She entered the budget and got a room in a hostel. The following year, she changed her mind about taking the exam again - she remained at her university. Now Ksyusha has already received her diploma, she works as a food technologist at an international enterprise and earns five times more than her parents, doctors.

If there are not enough points at all to enter the budget, there is an option not to enter, to prepare, and next year retake the exam.

Sergei also wanted to become a doctor, but he did not pass biology well and did not pass the budget. He had a deferment from the army, so in order not to lose a year, he entered the medical college in his city and was preparing to retake the exam. If it didn’t work out, Sergey would have stayed in college, trained as a paramedic and still worked in medicine, as he dreamed of.

But he succeeded. The following year, he retaken biology and with the same results in Russian and mathematics entered to study as a cardiologist. By that time, he had also managed to get a referral from their local cardiological dispensary, which also helped.

What are the ways to pass the exam well?

To pass the exam well, you need to prepare for it. It's best to start in tenth grade. You can prepare on your own or with a tutor.

Shortly before the exams, it is most effective to solve tests of previous years. Tasks in the exam are typical and very similar can come across in different years. If there is a tutor, he will select the correct method of preparation, taking into account the abilities of the student.

What is the best thing to do before an exam?

Graduates need to sleep. You can't sit all night on textbooks or look for answers for this year. Not getting enough sleep and getting nervous is the worst thing.

In the morning you need to have breakfast, dress comfortably and arrive where you are supposed to by 9 o'clock. The exam will start at 10 o'clock, but it is better to arrive early to look around and adjust.

You need to come to the exam rested and calm.

At the same time, you can submit the results of the exam to five universities. Each has three faculties. All information about specialties, documents, the number of budget places and passing points is published on the websites of universities.

If you can’t get into the budget, think about where to get money to pay for your studies. It is better to take care of this even before the exams, just in case. Find out at the institute how to transfer to the budget from the second year, if this is practiced. If you try hard, you can save a lot of money.

Experiment with faculties and universities. In one institute, there is a competition of 100 people per place, while in another there may be a shortage even for a similar specialty. The prestige of the university does not guarantee anything.

Invite the student to look for job opportunities. You can transfer to correspondence, work in shifts or remotely.

The system for passing the USE, which is both a graduation from a secondary educational institution and an assessment score when entering a university, was introduced in the Russian Federation gradually, being introduced and improved in several stages. Since 2001, the USE has been introduced in some regions of the country, the system became mandatory throughout Russia by 2009.

Now it is already impossible to imagine entering a university without passing the exam. But in life there are exceptional cases when a person, for whatever reason, wants to receive further education without passing the exam. And the question of where to go without the Unified State Examination is asked annually by more than a dozen young people in our country.

Reasons why there may be no exam result.

The results of the exam may be absent in the following cases:

1. Citizens who received secondary education in another state. So if a foreigner wonders where to go without the Unified State Examination in the Russian Federation, then the answer will be positive from almost any university. All that remains for a foreign citizen is to submit to the chosen institution a document on the completion of a secondary educational institution in the country from which he arrived. For the number of studying foreigners, the Government of the Russian Federation provides for quotas.
2. Citizens with disabilities or limited physical and mental capabilities. Such citizens are admitted to universities (not all) without the Unified State Examination, or they can take entrance exams within the university. However, for this category of citizens, almost every institution has a quota.
3. The secondary educational institution was completed before the introduction of the Unified State Examination, or a lot of time has passed since the passing of the Unified State Examination.
4. Unfortunately, the human factor can also play a cruel joke - people who are late, overslept or too busy can also miss the opportunity to pass the exam.
5. Not enough points for admission according to the results of the exam.

Lucky people who do not need to take the exam

These lucky ones include:

1. Pupils of schools who successfully participated in the All-Russian Olympiads and became their winners. Such students will be admitted to any university without the Unified State Examination or other exams, but only on the basis of victory in such Olympiads.
2. Students who took part and won in the Olympiad from the university. Trying to win such an Olympiad is realistic, having thoroughly prepared for it in advance and knowing the conditions.
3. Those wishing to have a second higher education are also exempt from the mandatory presence of the Unified State Examination. Such citizens must present a diploma from the first university and pass a test or examination within the new one.
4. Students admitted to a university on the basis of a transfer from another, or who have taken an academic leave and wish to recover, do not take the USE.

Where can I go without the exam? Foreign universities, for example, accept Russian citizens even without the Unified State Examination. To do this, you need to clarify which exams you need to pass on the spot at the selected university. Sometimes you don't need to take exams at all.

Come back next year or two or three

There is, of course, the option of re-taking exams in a year, if you do not mind the time and you are ready to carefully study textbooks and go to tutors for the sake of passing the exam during this year. And in the breaks between the textbook and the repeater, you can start working and get your first salary.

Another long-term option is to go to college or technical school, study there for two or three years and get a specialty, and then apply to a university. In order not to lose precious years, you can go to college and on the basis of nine classes.

Where you can go after college without the exam, you decide. However, it should be remembered that the university will not require you to pass the exam and will offer an accelerated program if you want to study in the same profile as in college.

Where can I apply with a certificate without the exam?

What to do if the exams are passed, the certificate is received, but the passing score for the university is insufficient? There aren't many options here. Do not forget the option of secondary vocational education. The doors of a technical school or college, where you can enter without the exam, are always open for you. After graduation, you can enter the university.

If, nevertheless, you would like to get a “tower”, without wasting a year on secondary vocational education, it is worth considering universities where you can enter without the Unified State Examination in absentia or remotely. True, this option often involves paid education.

You can also consider the creative areas of professions. Fortunately, creative faculties pay little attention to the number of points scored, and in order to enter them, you need to pass creative exams, you just need to show talent.

Mathematics - the queen of sciences

Mathematics is an important subject when passing the exam. Since 2015, it has also been divided into 2 levels - basic mathematics and profile. That is, if a student plans to enter a faculty where mathematics is a compulsory subject, then profile mathematics should be chosen. Basic mathematics is a little easier to pass, but when entering a university, it is not taken into account and is required only when receiving a graduation certificate.

If you are the owner of a humanitarian mindset and the exact sciences are not entirely for you, then in this case it is better to choose the basic level of mathematics. There are plenty of liberal arts universities where you can enter without the Unified State Examination in specialized mathematics in our country. However, it should be remembered that in some regions the university will credit two exams, and upon admission, you will need to pass an internal exam at the educational institution.

Universities where you can enter without the exam

Of course, such institutions are primarily all theatrical, vocal, artistic and humanitarian. We list those specializations for which admission is not required to take exams, or there is no USE for the profile level of mathematics:

• journalism;
• all medical areas (dentistry, pediatrics, medical biochemistry, biophysics, etc.) - in this case, you should intensively prepare for biology, physics, chemistry;
• veterinary medicine;
• acting skills;
• Musical direction;
• artistic direction;
• customs business;
• philology;
• psychology;
• jurisprudence;
• foreign languages;
• faculty of physical culture;
• social work;
• cultural studies;
• international relationships;
• tourism and more.

You just need to familiarize yourself with the corresponding "List of areas and specialties", which each university has.

Study, study and study again

In conclusion, it is worth noting that, in fact, Much depends on your life goals and your own desire to receive this or that education.

Life circumstances can develop in such a way that any education (even three-month courses, not to mention higher education) can be very useful and subsequently become the main source of income. So, study must be taken with all seriousness and responsibility and never be neglected.
