Instruction
Come up with a name for the survey. For example: "Applicant's Questionnaire", "Graduate Questionnaire" or "Applicant's Questionnaire".
Make a clear short instruction on how to fill it out and place it on the title page of the questionnaire. The text of the instruction might be something like this: “Carefully read the question and the suggested answers. Circle the option that matches your opinion (there may be more than one answer). The survey is anonymous, all data is used for scientific purposes only.”
Depending on the questions you have, formulate questions and answers to them. It is undesirable to include open-ended questions (without "tips"), because with a large sample size, it will be difficult to process them. Give preference to "closed" and "semi-closed" questions (including the answer option "other").
An example of a closed question: “Do you plan to apply to one or more? 01- to one university; 02- to two universities; 03- to three universities; 04 - to four universities; 05 - to five universities.
An example of a semi-closed question: “Why did you choose this university? 01 is a prestigious university; 02- to this university; 03 - on the advice of relatives or friends; 04- satisfied with the location of the university; 05- there is the one I need; 06 - other.
Develop a clearer questionnaire structure. At the beginning of the questionnaire, you should give fairly easy short questions that do not require much thought. Then you can include a block of more difficult questions. The questions at the end of the questionnaire should also be simple. In addition, one should decide where to place information about the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondent (sex, age, place of residence, parents, etc.). Sometimes it makes sense to put them at the beginning, sometimes at the end of the questionnaire. The number of questions should be reasonable and take into account the expected conditions of its completion. About 15-20 questions would be enough for a questionnaire on this topic.
Refine the wording of questions and answer options. Refer to the special sociological, which sets out the requirements for constructing questionnaire questions and their sequence. In particular, the question should not be ambiguous, the language of the questionnaire should be understandable to the respondents, the question should not cause a desire for an answer or fear of reprisals, the list of answer options should be complete, etc. Try to understand the difference between single and multiple choice questions, between direct and indirect, personal and impersonal questions. You may need filter questions that filter out some of the respondents to answer a question.
Carry out the so-called aerobatics of the questionnaire before launching it in "". In other words, test it on several applicants - boys and girls, townspeople and villagers. Check whether all the questions are clear to them, whether the list of answers to each question is complete enough, whether there are any annoying and provocative formulations. After that, make the necessary adjustments, replicate and proceed to the field stage of the study.
note
Make sure that all answer options for each question are printed on one page, without breaking. Otherwise, the respondent will choose an answer from an incomplete list of "prompts".
Helpful advice
To correctly determine the purpose and objectives of the survey of applicants, talk first with the customer of the study - for example, representatives of the administration of the university, school or education committee. Ask them to write a TOR (terms of reference) for the study, which would indicate its expected results.

Questioning is the main method of work of psychologists, sociologists, marketers and other researchers. But not only in these areas of activity, questionnaires can be used. Many people have to fill them out when entering an educational institution, when applying for a job, and in many other life situations. Compose questionnaire right is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.
Instruction
At the very beginning of the questionnaire, the questions should be easy. Further, they can be complex. At the end of the questionnaire, when the respondent is already tired, it is advisable to place a couple of questions that are interesting to him.
Questions included in any questionnaire should not be ambiguous. For example, the question "What is your income?" can mean both the income of the respondent and the income of his entire family. By the way, we can talk about both salary and additional earnings.
The questionnaire should be composed only of simple questions that do not contain complicated wording and terms unfamiliar to most people. Each question should be clear, concise, clearly formulated.
When compiling a questionnaire, one should not allow the respondent to be pushed to a certain answer to a question. Therefore, it is unacceptable to start the questions of the questionnaire with the words “Don’t you think that…?”, “Do you agree…?”, “Do you like…?”.
Should not be included in questionnaire questions beyond the memory capacity of the person answering them. For example, it is unlikely that a respondent will be able to quickly and accurately answer the question “How much money did you spend on buying toothpaste in the last year?”.
Compose questionnaire follows from such questions, the answers to which the respondent knows exactly, remembers and is ready to discuss them with a stranger.
One of the most important requirements for the questionnaire is respect for the respondent. That is why it should not include questions that can cause emotions, feelings of shame or embarrassment in a person.
Questionnaire, the questions of which the respondent answers within 20 minutes or even longer, indicate, as a rule, insufficient professional training of the organizers of the study.
A correctly drawn up questionnaire does not raise any questions from the respondents, and also does not require any additional explanations.

It is often difficult for children who have solid knowledge in individual subjects to pass the unified state exam due to emotional instability and unpreparedness for stressful situations. But you can bypass the educational system and enter a university without passing exams.
Instruction
Capable people are often too susceptible to critical situations. That's why most smart kids don't get the high score they can. Feelings about being successful surrender so overwhelmed that the child is not able to cope with emotions and gather at the right moment. But the educational system can be circumvented in the following way. First you need to decide on the subject in which you understand best.
Then get a brochure with a list of higher education institutions in your city or where you would like to study. Often, after a short introductory story about and about the faculties existing in it, the authors point to the opportunity to take part in various competitions on the basis of an educational institution. The winners in these Olympiads are given privileges for no exams as a prize.
You need to write a statement that you want to take part in the competition. Since it is conducted on a specific subject (for example, Russian, chemistry, etc.), it is desirable that your knowledge in this area be much wider than school knowledge, which may not be enough. Prepare thoroughly, because in case of victory (or if you take one of the three prizes) you will be enrolled in without prior surrender exams.
There is an alternative. Schools often hold olympiads on various topics. If you take one of the two places, you will be sent to the city competitions. Prepare well for them. Since this is just the second step in achieving the goal. In case of victory in the city, you will be sent to the region. Here already some school knowledge will be. Since there is a lot of time for preparation, do not be lazy. Get down to business. If you win at the regional Olympiad, you will be offered a list of educational institutions where, upon providing a certificate of victory, you can be enrolled in a free place without exams.
Summer for graduates of schools and technical schools is unusual. Instead of a long-awaited rest, important exams await them - admission to a Higher Educational Institution. In this turmoil, the main thing is not to get confused and take all the necessary documents.
For receipts in university the required documents or their copies are provided to the admission committee of the chosen faculty.

You probably want the results USE enter the university at the budget department. The budget competition at most prestigious universities starts over 75 test scores. Sometimes without special training it is almost impossible to achieve such results on USE in Russian language.
Instruction
You can use the following tools to prepare for USE in Russian language: use paper manuals, multimedia CDs containing a lot of information, like preparatory courses for university applicants, hire a tutor for one-on-one preparatory classes USE.
For self-preparation USE:
Be persistent, ambitious, and aim for the highest test score. Since no one will be able to teach you your will. Honestly answer yourself the question: what do you know well, what is average, and what do you not know at all. Buy textbooks, special
The school time is behind, and ahead are the anxious days of entering the university. For the applicant, this time is the most exciting. The first step is to fill out an application for admission to a higher educational institution.
For parents, the time of admission is no less exciting than for their children-applicants, and perhaps even more responsible. Mom and dad feel the obligation to educate their children, to provide them with a ticket to adulthood. Therefore, graduating from school means the beginning of new problems and new tasks, the achievement of new goals, the solution of new issues.
As a rule, the selection committee begins to work from the end of June - the beginning of July. As soon as the last calls have died down in all schools, and former schoolchildren have spent their graduation balls, a long red tape begins with documents for admission. Potential students at that time already know their scores for the Unified State Exam. Moreover, both for each subject separately, and their amount, which will be indicated when submitting documents to the selection committee. Accordingly, each applicant has more than once considered the direction of specialties for which he can apply, and now he can assess his chances of entering the desired institute at the desired faculty. Also, admission to a budget or commercial place depends on a number of criteria. These include the passing score, the number of budget places, the number of commercial places, the amount of tuition fees in commerce, the general plan for enrolling students in this specialty, the competition for this specialty (the number of applicants per place) and some other individual characteristics of a particular university. Upon admission to a higher educational institution, the applicant is invited to fill out a special questionnaire.
What is the application form? Of course, each higher education institution develops its own individual questionnaire. It includes exactly those questions, the answers to which the admissions committee needs to know in order to make a decision on enrolling students. Of course, it is unrealistic to predict the exact set of questions, but the main aspects of the questionnaire can still be assumed.
As a rule, a typical applicant's questionnaire is a regular form-document in which standard questions are already printed, and the applicant must answer them in writing. The title of the document can be different: “Application form for admission to the university”, “Applicant application form”, “Applicant application form”, etc.
Most likely, before the questions of the questionnaire, instructions will be given on how to fill it out. For example, a way to choose an answer among those offered (circle, underline, put a cross or checkmark), the number of possible answers, etc.
Then comes a list of questions: first the easier ones, then the harder ones. Of course, such a questionnaire, most likely, will not be anonymous, because it is designed to obtain specific information about a particular applicant for the purpose of his possible enrollment in the ranks of freshmen. Therefore, the first question is the full name. Then the standard questions are: gender, date of birth, place of birth, age (full years), address of registration and residence, passport details, number of the school that the applicant recently graduated from.
The next block of questions may relate directly to the previous place of study, namely the school. The following questions are possible: favorite subject at school, the number of fives and fours in the certificate, the type of certificate (regular or with honors), the presence of a medal for academic achievement and its type (gold or silver), the presence of certificates and diplomas of a participant or winner of competitions at the level schools, cities, regions (sports competitions, intellectual olympiads, reports at scientific research conferences, etc.), the name of the subjects for which the applicant passed the Unified State Exam, indicating the scores for each exam, etc.
Further, the applicant's questionnaire may include a block of questions regarding the future plans of the applicant. For example, which faculty he plans to enter, which specialty, and it is advisable to indicate several faculties (specialties) at once, and mark the priority for each in the number of points (for example, from 1 to 3) .
There may also be a question about how the applicant found out about this institution of higher education and why he decided to enter here. What attracted a graduate to this university, what he considers fundamental in the educational process, what goals does he set for himself for the next 4-5 years, is the applicant going to work in the specialty after graduation, does the applicant plan to stay in this city after graduating from a higher educational institution or move to another city, and if so, to which city and for what reasons.
Then, as a rule, comes the final block of questions. They may be psychologically oriented. That is, 4-5 questions about the character and hobbies of the applicant, for example, “Your favorite sport”, “Your type of temperament”, “Bad habits”, “How sociable are you (on a scale of 1 to 10)”, “How responsible are you ( on a scale from 1 to 10) ", etc.
In addition to such a questionnaire, you may need a certificate from a doctor following the results of a mandatory traditional medical examination. It will need to be attached to the application form.
No matter how worried the applicants and their parents, during this period it is important to control yourself and maintain composure. You always have to believe in the best, that the graduate will go where he wanted, and preferably in a state-funded place. Although the number of budget places is reduced every year, the competition increases accordingly, and the amount of tuition fees increases due to inflation and other economic processes. But, of course, faith alone will not help.
For successful enrollment in the lists of students, it is also necessary to have high scores in the Unified State Exam. In turn, the total score on the exam depends on the personal efforts and diligence of the former student. That is why it is very important from the very elementary school to guide the student to achieve high results in educational activities, to teach him to find a common language with classmates, as well as with teachers. As you know, in any university, students have to enter into relationships with classmates and teachers, and the level of interpersonal relations at the institute already differs sharply from the school one. Students are treated like adults there. And no one has yet canceled the personal likes and dislikes of teachers. Accordingly, the student must not only learn the subject well in order to pass it successfully, but also find an individual approach to each teacher. Thus, the institute can be safely called a "school of life", where the student not only gains knowledge and acquires the necessary skills, but also gains experience in communicating with the team.
As you know, all people are different. Teachers are no exception. Each teacher has his own requirements or, as they say, "cockroaches in the head." Therefore, the student must take this into account and quickly navigate the situation. But despite these difficulties, the student years will still remain in the student's memory as the best in his life. It is during this period that the final formation of a person as a person takes place, and the entire future life of a person depends on how successfully this stage is completed.
Here's another thing for which applicants' questionnaires are needed. So that the selection committee has an idea of who they will have to deal with in the next 4-5 years. Namely, the survey will allow in a short time to get complete and at the same time brief answers to all the main questions of the selection committee.
Thus, the questionnaire for applicants to universities aims to obtain all the necessary information about the applicant in short concise answers. The Admissions Committee will examine the materials received and make a decision on the enrollment of the applicant.
