As the Minister of Education stated, in 2017 the system of the Unified State Examination is expected to undergo big changes. What new rules passing the exam in 2017, representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science speak, 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.
Maths
The division into two levels in the mathematics exam is still preserved. For those who decide to tie their future profession with humanitarian disciplines, it will be enough to pass only the basic exam, but those who aspire to enroll in engineering universities will have to take a more complex profile part. And in this part, small changes are possible: tasks increased complexity may turn out to be really "elevated", that is, requiring a non-standard approach to the solution.
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. Passing the exam will also require 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 remain practically unchanged. foreign language, geography. All these items, according to officials from the Ministry of Education, will not cause any problems for schoolchildren.
Applications for early passing the exam in 2017 were accepted until February 1 (inclusive), and the first exam was passed by schoolchildren and graduates of previous years already on March 23. This is two months before the main stage. In order not to be late next year, the site talks about the deadlines, required documents and ways to get the results of the exam.
Why before others?
Most often, the USE is passed ahead of schedule by graduates of previous years. They need an exam to enter the university. At present, all Russian higher educational establishments upon enrollment, they are asked to provide USE results, which are considered valid for four years following the year in which the exam was taken. In order to become one of those lucky ones who pass exams earlier than others and enjoy the results a couple of months earlier, it is enough not to miss the application deadlines and collect all the necessary documents. But first things first.
I want to be one of the first! Can?
In order for everyone to pass the exam, it was divided into three stages: early, main and additional.
Early delivery is designed mainly for graduates of past years - those who want to improve their USE results or those who graduated from school before the introduction of the Unified State Exam. Graduates of this year can also take exams ahead of schedule, but for this pedagogical council schools must give permission. You can get it in the absence of academic debt and the full implementation of the curriculum.
In the additional examination period from September 5 to September 16, graduates who failed to score the minimum required scores, that is, to cross the threshold, in May - June, can take the exam in mathematics (basic level) or the Russian language.
The main requirement that should not be forgotten is that the exam is taken once a year. The exception is graduates of the current year who did not pass the USE in Russian language and mathematics (basic level). If you didn't score minimum scores in one of these subjects, you can retake it in an additional period. In other subjects, in case of failure, it will be possible to try your hand only next year. .jpg)
The main thing is not to forget your passport
For early delivery, students apply for participation in the exam at their school. Graduates of previous years must apply for participation in the Unified State Examination at the offices of the Regional Information Processing Center of Moscow (RTsOI). From the documents you will need a passport and an original document on education.
The application must list the subjects in which you plan to take the exams. For graduates of the current year, exams in the Russian language and mathematics (for any of the two levels) are mandatory, the rest can be chosen independently (most often, depending on the profile of the university).
A passport will be needed not only when applying, but also for admission to the exam itself - the data will be checked against the list of participants, which is printed out from the regional information system.
Regardless of when you have an exam, there is one application deadline. This year, early exams began on March 23 and will end on April 14. Applications had to be submitted by February 1, 2017 inclusive. After this date, only applications from those who had good reasons, such as illness, were considered. Applications close two weeks before the start of the exams. .jpg)
The exam is available to everyone
People with handicapped health (HIA) can take part in the exam, including early. To create special conditions for passing the exam, you must provide a copy of the recommendation of the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
For recent 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 academic year has already begun, and is now already eating a list of subjects, a full schedule of exams for the next 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, a 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 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.

The main part of the USE subjects can be taken from May 29 to June 19. Early delivery of the exam will be held from March 23 to April 7. At the same time, you can take exams in subjects that have been completed earlier.
For persons re-admitted this year to take exams in the relevant academic subjects, and graduates of previous years, additional deadlines for passing the exam are provided - April 10-14, June 20-29, July 1 and September 16.
Like last year, the exam in all subjects starts at 10.00 local time.
The duration of the USE in individual subjects has been preserved. Yes, math profile level, physics, literature, computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT), social science, history is 3 hours 55 minutes (235 minutes), in Russian, chemistry, biology - 3 hours 30 minutes (210 minutes), in basic mathematics, geography, foreign languages (English, French, German, Spanish) (except for the section "Speaking") - 3 hours (180 minutes), foreign languages (English, French, German, Spanish) (section "Speaking") - 15 minutes.
The list of teaching aids used in the exam remained the same. At the exam in mathematics, it is allowed to use a ruler; in physics - a ruler and a non-programmable calculator; in chemistry - a non-programmable calculator; in geography - a ruler, a protractor, a non-programmable calculator.
May 29, 2017 - an official assessment is held in literature or geography to choose from;

For any 11th grader or his parent, preparing for the exam is one of the most burning issues. After all, the opportunity to pass a single State exam, and then enter the desired university and get a prestigious profession - a very serious task. It becomes clear why the preparation for this crucial test begins in advance.
Some students prefer to prepare for the upcoming exams on their own, while the parents of others rely more on the fruitful work of tutors or enroll their children in special training courses. By and large, the stage of preparation for the exam is a purely personal matter, so it is worth planning it taking into account your own capabilities and needs. The main drawback that instills fear in all students of the current 11th grade is the rules for passing exams, which, by the way, change almost every month. Because of them, the final tests become even more difficult.
Date of the exam in 2017
At the moment, the most burning topic for future graduates continues to be the question of how many exams in 2017. According to an official source, the announced testing will take place in two stages: early and main. The first will begin in March 2017, while the second will have to wait until the end of May. The most chosen subject by the 11th graders was natural science, so a separate day was specially allocated for it.
Reserve periods are also provided conducting the exam on some subjects. Additional time should also be allocated for exams in the 9th grade.

How many compulsory subjects do you need to pass to get a certificate?
Previously, students took only two subjects, but in 2017, the exams will undergo a number of changes. Simply put, another mandatory subject is added to receive a certificate. The first two are mathematics and the Russian language, and what will be the next one until the question is resolved. There is an assumption that it may turn out to be a foreign language, but education experts offer other, no less important "candidates".
Additional Item
In addition to the main three subjects, students take one more subject on a voluntary basis of their own choice. It mainly depends on admission to the planned specialty in educational organizations higher education. A complete list of entrance exams for each area of training will be determined in accordance with the order of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.
In 2017, there were more compulsory disciplines, while the list of nomenclature subjects decreased. Nonetheless total disciplines subject to delivery remained the same - 4 (3 core and 1 optional). 
The list of subjects to choose from the USE 2017 includes 12 options.
1. Literature.
2. History.
3. Biology.
4. Chemistry.
5. Physics.
6. Geography.
7. Social science.
8. informatics and ICT
9. English.
10. German language.
11. Spanish.
12. French.
You will have to take USE subjects of your own choice only for future admission to universities. If a further education not planned, upcoming exams are limited to 3 core subjects.
If the current graduate receives an unsatisfactory USE assessment, he has the full right to retake it within the time limits established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. If the USE participant does not score required amount points in the announced subjects, retake can take place only after a year.
USE results
No changes are expected in the results of the 2017 exams. True, we should not forget that the terms for checking the results of the exam with their subsequent placement on the network may be shortened. When conducting the GIA in the USE format, the usual 100-point system will be used. For each of the announced subjects, the minimum number of points required to successfully pass the exam is set.
When the test is completed, the examination papers are reviewed by the chairman of the SEC for each of the subjects. After that, the decision regarding approval, modification or cancellation is announced. The results should become available within 24 hours after they are received for verification. Further, the results of the exam are transferred to the authorities local government, educational organizations and founders, after which they are entered into the federal information system.
The influence of USE scores on the grade in the certificate
When passing the exam next year, a single scale for evaluating the results obtained by schoolchildren will appear. In simple words points earned during the exams will affect the final grade in the certificate.
It is important to announce the minimum scores that should be obtained in all subjects:
It remains only to note that the announced information perfectly demonstrates to future graduates their upcoming difficulties on the way to a brighter future. In order not to run the situation to the last, it's time to think now about how exactly the future exams will be held.
