For several years in a row, school graduates have been taking a mandatory exam that can show the real level of their knowledge and help them enter the desired university. Schedule USE exams 2017 somewhat changed.
According to the decision of the government, in 2017, the guys will start taking the exam from February. If they can type , then the test is over. If the passing score is not "taken", then schoolchildren will be tested in April as well.
In order to properly prepare for this crucial moment and get the desired certificates, many future graduates are already looking for the necessary literature, hiring tutors, and looking for video lessons on the net. In many schools, just a few days before the exam, they begin to conduct preparatory classes, in order to slightly reduce the level of tension among the students and give them hope that it is quite possible to pass the exam for a high score.
It should be noted that only with the beginning school year Check out the full exam schedule for 2017. But at the same time, anyone can personally draw up a preliminary plan for passing examination papers, starting from the dates of last year.
In principle, one or two days of difference do not play a special role, but the student will be able to accurately plan his free time and set aside a few hours for preparation.
USE dates
Early Exam
If you want to pass the exams ahead of schedule and see what you are capable of, even before the start of the main part of the exam, then you can take the work in March. This approach allows students to significantly increase the scores of their certificates and increase the chances of entering a prestigious university.
If during the test your scores seemed unsatisfactory, then during the main part of the examination, you can radically change the picture. So the schedule early USE as follows.
Note that in 2016 the period from April 15 to April 23 was defined as a reserve period. In 2017, these will be the days:
- April 10 (Mon) reserve - geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT, foreign languages (oral), history;
- April 12 (Wed) reserve - foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology;
- April 14 (Fri) reserve - Russian language, mathematics B, P.
Main Period
Reserve period
Reserve dates for exams are intended for those students who did not have time to get into the main period for good reasons. It should be remembered that there are only a few reasons that exempt from taking the exam in the main period. First of all, this is poor health, documented (certificate from a doctor).
In addition, a retake is provided in the delivery of the exam. As a rule, it takes place in September of the new academic year.
In the same year, for the first time, "autumn" days for passing the exam and GVE:
- September 5 (Tue) - Russian
- September 8 (Fri) — mathematics B
- September 16 (Sat) reserve - mathematics B, Russian
Changes in the exam
Already in 2016, all students felt the burden of changes that took place in the USE system. Officials continue to radically change the procedure for conducting these works so that the process of checking knowledge is more accurate and transparent. The most important innovations are:
- The list of compulsory subjects has been increased to three. Recall that until 2016, graduates took only two subjects (Russian and mathematics). Now in the number of required subjects history will go down. It will have to be taken not only in a test form, where it is possible to put answers at random, but also orally. In addition, a foreign language may become a presumptive compulsory subject. True, while officials are skeptical about this decision and intend to introduce this test closer to 2020.
- In total, at least 4 subjects will need to be passed at the USE in 2017. Depending on which university the future applicant enters, the names of these subjects may change.
- Knowledge testing in the subject "Informatics" is planned to be carried out on computers. By 2017, the Ministry of Education must prepare appropriate programs for this.
- The points earned on the exam affect the final certificate of the graduate.
- Mathematics will be taken in two standards: basic and profile.
Do not forget that you should not delay preparing for exams. During the school year, it is more difficult to set aside a few hours to devote them to the exam. Therefore, future graduates should get acquainted with possible questions at the exam already in the summer. Considering that all tests can be easily found on the Internet, this task becomes quite feasible.
For any 11th grader or his parent, preparing for the exam is one of the most burning issues. After all, the opportunity to pass the unified state exam well, and then enter the desired university and get a prestigious profession is 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.
There are also reserve dates for the USE in some subjects. Additional time should also be allocated for exams in the 9th grade. 
Early stage 2017
March 14 - mathematics (basic and specialized).
March 16 - computer science, chemistry, history.
March 18 - foreign languages (oral stage).
March 20 - Russian.
March 22 - biology, physics, foreign languages (written stage).
March 24 - literature, social science, geography.
Reserve days
April 3 - chemistry, literature, computer science, history, foreign languages (oral stage).
April 5 - social science, physics, biology, foreign languages (written part).
April 7 - mathematics (basic and specialized), Russian.

June 22 - mathematics (profile).
June 28 - mathematics (basic).
June 29 - foreign languages (orally).
June 30 - any subject.
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 obtain 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 USE results transferred to 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.
More than 700,000 graduates of the 11th grade in 2017 will take the exam. Despite the spring days, it's hard to rejoice: exam dates are approaching at an alarming rate. On what days are the most terrible tests of the examination epic prepared for graduates? When will I have to take the mandatory USE in mathematics and the Russian language in 2017? What to expect and what to prepare for? Forewarned is forearmed! Or in Latin - prei monituse, prei minituse!
The official schedule of the exam in 2017
On the official website of the FIPI (Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements), the document with the approved USE schedule in 2017 has not yet appeared, but it has already become known that the dates for the state exams this year have been approved by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.
USE schedule in 2017
As in the previous year, in 2017 exams will be held in three stages: early, main and additional.
| the date | Subject |
| early period | |
| March 23 (Thu) | geography, informatics and ICT |
| March 27 (Fri) | Russian language |
| March 29 (Wed) | history, chemistry |
| March 31 (Fri) | math B, P |
| April 3 (Mon) | foreign languages (oral) |
| April 5 (Wed) | foreign languages, biology, physics |
| April 7 (Fri) | social science, literature |
| April 10 (Fri) | reserve: geography, chemistry, informatics and ICT, foreign languages (oral), history |
| April 12 (Wed) | reserve: foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology |

| June 22 (Thu) | reserve: biology, history foreign languages |
| June 23 (Fri) | reserve: foreign languages |
| June 28 (Wed) | reserve: mathematics (basic and specialized) |
| June 29 (Thu) | reserve: Russian |
| July 1 (Sat) | reserve: in all subjects |
| Additional period | |
| September 5 (Tue) | Russian language |
| September 8 (Fri) | mathematics (basic) |
| September 16 (Sat) | reserve: mathematics (basic), Russian language |
Thus, from March 23 to April 14, the early stage of passing the exam will be held, and from May 29 to July 1, the main stage of passing exams will be held. An additional stage will take place from 5 to 16 September.
Briefly and schematically, the standard USE schedule for a graduate will look like this:
- May 29 - geography and informatics and ICT;
- May 31 - basic level mathematics;
- June 2 - mathematics profile level;
- June 5 - social studies;
- June 7 - physics and literature;
- June 9 - Russian language;
- June 13 - foreign language (without speaking) and biology;
- June 15 - speaking in a foreign language;
- June 19 - chemistry and history.
By the way, the GVE for eleventh graders will be held according to a similar schedule. True, a foreign language will be held on one day - June 13th. As for the USE in mathematics at the profile level, it is not provided for within the GVE.
On a note! Ninth graders will also be subjected to examination tests. The main stage of the OGE for them has the following schedule:
- May 26-27 - foreign language;
- May 30 - Russian language;
- June 1 - history, biology, physics, literature;
- June 3 - physics, informatics and ICT;
- June 6 - mathematics;
- June 8 - social science, geography, chemistry, computer science and ICT.
Note that ninth-graders will take GVE according to a similar schedule.
Compulsory exams and electives
The list of disciplines that must be passed at all costs traditionally includes the Russian language and mathematics. Although from 2017, they are going to add one more mandatory subject to these subjects. True, it is not yet known what kind of object it is. There are several contenders for this role: a foreign language, social studies, physics and history.
Today it is known that you need to take only four exams: two mandatory and two optional. The graduate must determine the subjects of his choice, depending on what specialty he plans to enter at the university.
The list of USE exams for choice for 2017 consists of 12 subjects:
- literature;
- story;
- social science;
- biology;
- physics;
- chemistry;
- geography;
- informatics and ICT;
- English;
- Deutsch;
- French;
- Spanish.
Time of the exam in 2017
Exams in all subjects will begin as usual at 10 am local time. The time allotted for passing the examination tests also remained unchanged:
- social studies - 235 minutes;
- history - 235 minutes;
- Russian language - 210 minutes;
- literature - 235 minutes;
- profile level mathematics - 235 minutes;
- basic level mathematics - 180 minutes;
- chemistry - 210 minutes;
- physics - 235 minutes;
- informatics and ICT - 235 minutes;
- biology - 180 minutes;
- geography - 180 minutes;
- foreign languages - 180 minutes (plus 15 minutes for the "Speaking" section).
Attention! The time to pass the exam in biology has increased by 30 minutes compared to the previous year. And in 2017, the time for the biology exam will be 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Minimum scores for the exam in 2017
The minimum number of points according to the results of the Unified State Examinations is different for those graduates who just want to get a certificate, and for those who plan to enter a university.
Minimum USE scores for admission to a university
In Russian, you need to score 36 points.
The results of the USE at the profile level of mathematics will be needed for those who intend to enter the university, which is on the list entrance examinations takes out the subject "Mathematics".
- mathematics (profile) - 27 points;
- mathematics (basic) - 3 points (assessment).
Minimum USE scores for obtaining a certificate
- in Russian - 24 points;
- in mathematics of the profile level - 27 points;
- in mathematics of the basic level - 3 points (assessment);
- in physics - 36 points;
- in chemistry - 36 points;
- in computer science - 40 points;
- in biology - 36 points;
- in history - 32 points;
- in geography - 37 points;
- in social studies - 42 points;
- in literature - 32 points;
- on foreign languages- 22 points.
Changes and innovations in the USE-2017
As mentioned above, it is planned to add one more to the two compulsory subjects for passing the exam, but which one is unknown.
A rather important change that affected the content of the examination tests is the cancellation of the test part for several subjects at once. Thus, tests have been canceled not only in the Russian language and mathematics, but also in “oral” subjects. The test part of the exam remained only in the Unified State Examination in a foreign language.
An innovation that speaks of the improvement of the USE and its attempt to keep up with the times is the passing of the USE in computer science and ICT on a computer.
For exams in foreign languages since 2017, an oral part has been introduced - "Speaking". Now foreign languages will need to be taken 15 minutes longer - this is how long the oral part lasts. In addition to foreign languages, there is also an idea to introduce an oral part into the Unified State Examination in history, literature and social science, but so far this is only a project. And in the test mode, the oral part of the Russian language exam will be tested. Thus, in some regions of Russia, the Russian language exam will include the oral part already in 2017.
Thus, there are no cardinal and unexpected changes in the USE in 2017. And those innovations that have been implemented are obviously aimed at improving the system of examination tests. The official USE schedule for 2017 has already been approved and is known. It remains only to prepare well and show a decent level of knowledge!
Good luck with exams!
Like last year, in 2017 there are two "streams" of the unified state exam - an early period (it takes place in the middle of spring) and the main one, traditionally starting at the end of the academic year, in the last days of May. The official draft schedule of the Unified State Examination “prescribes” all dates for passing exams in all subjects in both of these periods - including additional reserve days provided for those who, for a good reason (illness, coincidence of exam dates, etc.) could not pass the Unified State Examination within the specified time frame.
Schedule of the early period for passing the exam - 2017
In 2017, the early "wave" of the unified state exam starts earlier than usual. If last year the peak of the spring examination period fell on the last week of March, then this season the spring break period will be free from the exam.
Key dates early period– from 14 to 24 March. Thus, by the beginning of spring school holidays many "pre-scheduled" already have time to pass the test. And this may turn out to be convenient: among the graduates who have the right to take the Unified State Examination in an early wave are guys who in May will have to participate in Russian or international competitions and competitions, and in spring holidays they often go to sports camps, profile shifts to camps, etc. Shifting exams to an earlier date will allow them to use the latest "to the fullest."
Additional (reserve) days early period of the USE-2017 will be held from 3 to 7 April. At the same time, many people will probably have to write exams in reserve terms: if in the last year’s schedule no more than two subjects were taken on the same day, then in 2017 most elective exams are grouped “in triplets”.
Separate days are allocated for only three subjects: the Russian language exam, which is mandatory for graduates and all future applicants, as well as mathematics and the oral part of the exam in foreign languages. At the same time, “speaking” this year, “early students” will take it before the written part.
It is planned to distribute the March exams by dates as follows:
March 14th(Tuesday) - Mathematics exam (both basic and profile level);
March 16(Thursday) - chemistry, history, computer science;
March 18(Saturday) - USE in foreign languages (oral part of the exam);
20th of March(Monday) - Russian language exam;
March 22(Wednesday) - biology, physics, foreign languages (written exam);
March 24(Friday) - USE, literature and social science.
There is a nine-day pause between the main and reserve days of the early period. All additional tests for "reservists" will be held in three days:
April 3(Monday) - chemistry, literature, computer science, foreign (speaking);
April 5(Wednesday) - foreign (in writing), geography, physics, biology, social studies;
April 7(Friday) - Russian, basic and.
As a rule, the bulk of those who pass the USE ahead of schedule are graduates of previous years, as well as graduates of specialized secondary educational institutions(in colleges and professional lyceums the program high school usually "pass" in the first year of study). In addition, graduates of schools who during the main period of passing the exam will be absent for good reasons (for example, participate in Russian or international competitions or be treated in a sanatorium) or intend to continue their education outside Russia can “shoot back” with exams early.
Graduates of 2017 can also choose to take exams in those subjects in which the program has been completed in full. This is relevant primarily for those who plan - the school course on this subject is read up to grade 10, and early delivery one of the exams can reduce tension during the main USE period.
Schedule of the main period for passing the exam - 2017
The main period for passing the exam in 2017 starts on May 26, and by June 16, most graduates will have already completed the exam epic. For those who could not pass the exam on time for a good reason, or who chose subjects that coincided in terms of delivery, there are reserve exam days from June 19. Like last year, the last day of the USE period will become a “single reserve” – on June 30, it will be possible to take an exam in any subject.
At the same time, the schedule of exams for the main period of the Unified State Examination-2017 is much less dense in comparison with early exams, and most graduates will probably be able to avoid “overlapping” exam dates.
Separate examination days are allocated for passing compulsory subjects: Russian, mathematics at a basic and profile level (schoolchildren have the right to take one of these exams, or both at once, so they are traditionally spread over several days in the schedule of the main period).
Like last year, a separate day is allocated for the most popular elective exam - social studies. And for passing the oral part of the exam in foreign languages, two separate days are allocated at once. In addition, a separate day is allocated for a subject that is not the most in demand at the USE - geography. Perhaps this was done in order to space out all subjects of the natural science profile in the schedule, reducing the number of coincidences.
Thus, two pairs and one "triple" of subjects remain in the USE schedule, the exams for which will be taken simultaneously:
- chemistry, history and informatics;
- foreign languages and biology,
- literature and physics.
Exams must be taken on the following dates:
26 of May(Friday) - geography,
May 29(Monday) - Russian,
May 31(Wednesday) - history, chemistry, informatics and ICT,
2 June(Friday) - profile mathematics,
June 5(Monday) - social studies;
June 7(Wednesday) - ,
the 9th of June(Friday) - written foreign language, biology,
June 13(Tuesday) - literature, physics,
June 15(Thursday) and June 16(Friday) - foreign oral.
Thus, the majority of schoolchildren will prepare for graduation parties “with a clear conscience”, having already passed all the planned exams and received results in most subjects. Those who fell ill during the main examination period, chose subjects that coincided in time, received a “fail” in Russian or mathematics, were removed from the exam, or encountered technical or organizational difficulties during the exam (for example, a lack of additional forms or a power outage), will take their exams on time.
Reserve days will be distributed as follows:
June 19(Monday) - computer science, history, chemistry and geography,
June 20(Tuesday) - physics, literature, biology, social studies, written foreign language,
21st of June(Wednesday) - Russian,
22nd of June(Thursday) - mathematics at a basic level,
June 28(Wednesday) - mathematics at the profile level,
June 29(Thursday) - oral foreign,
30 June(Friday) - all subjects.
Can there be changes in the exam schedule?
The draft official USE schedule is usually published at the beginning of the academic year, discussion is held, and the final approval of the exam schedule takes place in the spring. Therefore, changes are possible in the USE schedule for 2017.
However, for example, in 2016 the project was approved without any changes and the actual dates of the exams completely coincided with those announced in advance - both in the early and in the main wave. So the chances that the 2017 schedule will also be adopted without changes are quite high.
All students who intend to graduate from secondary education in 2017 will be required to pass the Unified State Exam - a unified state exam aimed at assessing the student's knowledge gained throughout school life. Passing the exam is always accompanied by stress not only on the part of the children themselves, but also their parents and even teachers who are worried about their pupils. Therefore, the question of how many USE in 2017 worries everyone interested long before the end of the next one.
Dates for the exam in 2017
It should be noted that the USE in 2017 will be held in two stages: early (trial) and, accordingly, the main one. According to the project of Rosobrnadzor, the trial stage of the USE-2017 will be held from March 14 to April 7 , and the main from May 26 to June 30, 2017 .
Trial and main stages
So, the USE-2017 will be held in two stages: early (preparatory) and main. An early stage is necessary in order to familiarize the student with the technique of passing the required subject at the Unified State Examination, to exclude the possibility of a "first fright" when a graduate may get lost from an unusual form of passing the exam. In addition, at this stage, students get acquainted with the form of asking questions, with the level of tasks and can independently and with the help of teachers assess their real level of preparation for passing the subject. The good news is that the trial level passes in advance, which gives the graduate time to improve knowledge and get a decent grade.
USE 2017 - exam schedule 
In this way, preparatory stage traditionally will be held from 14.03 to 7.04. In turn, the main stage of a single state exam It is planned to be held from 26.05 to 30.06. It is this stage that will become decisive in the struggle for a worthy certificate.
Required subjects in 2017
We immediately note that various USE changes 2017, do not touch the compulsory subjects, as before, in order for graduates to receive a certificate, they will need to pass the following compulsory subjects, such as: mathematics and Russian. According to Rosobrnadzor experts, in the coming years, it is not planned to add a new subject to the list of compulsory ones, only after 2022, the compulsory subjects of the Unified State Examination will be replenished with another compulsory subject - a foreign language.
All other subjects are optional, and for this reason, they are taken by graduates on a voluntary basis, based on their choice for entering universities of a certain direction.
USE-2017: changes, latest news
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation is talking about the abolition of the test mode for passing the exam. This idea arose due to the fact that some students who did not know how to solve a particular problem could simply choose an answer and guess it randomly. According to the latest data, since 2017, Rosobrnadzor plans to abandon tests, in almost all subjects of the Unified State Exam-2017, including: in biology, physics and chemistry.
Rosobrnadzor will begin to approve the methodology by which it will be calculated minimum score in 2017, according to the unified state exam.
Introduction oral form change. In order to pass the Russian language or history, students will need to pass an oral exam in order for their level of preparation to be assessed to the fullest.
