For any 11th-grader or his parent, preparing for the Unified State Exam is one of the most pressing 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 preparation for this important test begins in advance.
Some students prefer to prepare for upcoming exams on their own, while the parents of others rely more on the fruitful work of tutors or enroll their children in special preparatory courses. By and large, the stage of preparation for the Unified State Exam is a purely personal matter, so it is worth planning it taking into account your own capabilities and needs. The main drawback that brings fear to all students of the current 11th grade is considered to be the rules for passing exams, which, by the way, change almost monthly. Because of them, the final tests become even more difficult.
Exam date 2017
At the moment, the most pressing topic for future graduates continues to be the question of what date the Unified State Examination will take in 2017. According to the 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 11th graders was natural science, so a separate day was allocated specifically for it.
Reserve dates for conducting the Unified State Examination in some subjects are also provided. Additional time should also be allocated for conducting examinations in 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 language.

June 29 – foreign languages (oral).
June 30 – any subject.
How many compulsory subjects do you need to take to get a certificate?
Previously, students took only two subjects, but in 2017 the exams will undergo a number of changes. Simply put, another required subject is added to obtain a certificate. The first two are mathematics and the Russian language, and what the other one will be is not yet resolved. There is an assumption that it may be a foreign language, but education experts suggest other, no less important “candidates”.
Additional item
In addition to the main three subjects, students take one more on a voluntary basis by personal choice. This mainly depends on admission to the planned specialty in educational organizations of higher education. The full 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 number of subjects on the list decreased. Nevertheless, the total number of disciplines to be passed remains the same - 4 (3 main and 1 elective). 
The list of subjects to choose from for the 2017 Unified State Examination includes 12 options.
1. Literature.
2. History.
3. Biology.
4. Chemistry.
5. Physics.
6. Geography.
7. Social studies.
8. computer science and ICT
9. English language.
10. German language.
11. Spanish language.
12. French language.
You will have to take Unified State Exam subjects of your personal choice solely for future admission to universities. If no further study is planned, upcoming examinations are limited to the 3 core subjects.
If a current graduate receives an unsatisfactory Unified State Exam assessment, he has every right to retake it within the time limits established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. If the Unified State Examination participant does not score the required number of points in the announced subjects, a retake can take place only after a year.
Unified State Exam results
No changes are expected in the results of the 2017 exams. However, we should not forget that the time frame for checking the Unified State Exam results and their subsequent posting on the Internet may be shortened. When conducting the State Examination in the Unified State Exam 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 established.
When the verification is completed, the examination papers are reviewed by the chairman of the State Examination Committee for each subject. A decision regarding approval, modification or cancellation is then announced. Results should be available within 24 hours of being received for review. Next, the results of the Unified State Exam are transferred to local governments, educational organizations and founders, after which they are entered into the federal information system.
The influence of Unified State Exam scores on the grade in the certificate
When taking the Unified State Exam next year, a unified scale for assessing the results obtained by schoolchildren will appear. In simple words, the points earned during the exams will affect the final grade on the certificate.
It is important to announce the minimum scores that should be obtained in all subjects:
It only remains to note that the information announced is the best possible way to demonstrate to future graduates their upcoming difficulties on the path to a bright future. In order not to let the situation go until the last minute, it’s time to think now about exactly how future exams will be held.
Unified State Exam 2017 changes associated with this final exam are one of the most relevant for many topics. After all, you must agree that every year graduates of grades 9 and 11 are faced with some innovations and changes, and sometimes not for the better. Currently, it is officially known that the country is expecting various reforms that will be associated not only with the political and economic sectors, but also with the education system, and, to be more precise, with the Unified State Exam.
What should you expect?
It is no secret that in the very near future the country will face serious changes and transformations related to the education system.
First of all, this will touch upon and address the issue related to passing the exam.
These are the kinds of changes and innovations that we should expect in the very near future. But you must admit, like everywhere else, any transformations have their pros and cons. Let's look at the promising advantages, since there are already enough disadvantages and disadvantages in this direction.
Advantages of new reforms.
- 1. All presented changes and innovations will be introduced into the school system not immediately, but gradually.
- 2. Based on the results of the reform, the vocational education system will receive good prospects for its further existence and development.
- 3.The certificate will depend entirely on the points the student scores on the Unified State Exam.
- 4. In the near future, compulsory subjects are expected to increase to 6, and, therefore, this gives students a greater opportunity for further enrollment and implementation of their plans.
- 5.Exams at each level of education, that is, after grades 4, 9 and 11, contribute to the development in students of such qualities as responsibility, discipline and order.
Duration of the Unified State Exam by subjects in 2017.
According to the regulations established and prescribed by law, each individual subject is prescribed and has its own specific time limit. It is worth saying that in some cases, the amount of time allotted for submitting items may differ by only 5-10 minutes. Although, at least 180 minutes should be allocated for each subject, but everything directly depends on the structure of the subject. For example, oral exams such as foreign languages, chemistry, biology, geography - no more than 3 hours are allocated and scheduled for passing them, but for mathematics, Russian language, physics, computer science, literature - no less than 4 hours. To date, there is no information yet regarding how long the exam will last, so there is a fairly high probability that the amount of time allotted will remain the same as it was last year. Namely: 
- 1. Mathematics – 235 minutes.
- 2. Russian language – 210 minutes.
- 3. Social studies – 210 minutes.
- 4.Physics – 235 minutes.
- 5. History – 210 minutes.
- 6.Biology – 180 minutes.
- 7. Chemistry – 180 minutes.
- 8.Informatics – 235 minutes.
- 9.Literature – 235 minutes.
- 10.Geography – 180 minutes.
- 11.Foreign languages – 180 minutes.
As can be seen from the table presented, the difference is actually not entirely significant.
Passing scores in subjects.
Just like the time allotted for the subject, each of the declared disciplines has its own passing score, a minimum threshold. It is worth saying that this item of the Unified State Exam undergoes various changes every year. What should we expect in the new year in the main and most popular and frequently taken subjects?
- Firstly, the Russian language. Here the minimum threshold is 36 points.
- Secondly, mathematics. Regarding the profile course, the passing level is 27 points, but the basic level is 36.
- Thirdly, social studies – 42 points.
- Fourthly, English – 22 points.
- Fifthly, history. Here the minimum passing threshold is 32 points.
I would like to believe that the 2017 Unified State Exam changes will only be beneficial and will have a positive impact on the entire exam, because an exam is always a big responsibility, and constant innovations sometimes simply lead to confusion, and sometimes even distract graduates from more thorough preparation, since they do not you know what to expect.
Unified State Exam schedule 2019 official FIPI - adjusted table for all subjects for high school students. The order of holding the Unified State Exam is determined by the main and reserve days. For school graduates who do not successfully pass the test, additional exams are also provided in the fall. The 2019 Unified State Exam schedule is adjusted by the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements in accordance with approved standards and methods, as a result of which the final and official final version of the schedule is formed. The latest changes to the USE-2019 FIPI schedule are published 2 months before the start of the exam.
If the days for the Unified State Exam coincide, the student must come to take the exam on the reserve day. Also, a reserve date is used in case of absence for a valid reason or illness. If violations were identified during the Unified State Exam, then you must submit a complaint directly to the commission at the delivery point. In this case, the results for a group of students may be canceled and the retake scheduled for a reserve day. If there is a repeated violation on a reserve day, the decision to retake the Unified State Exam is made by the regional center or postponed to September. So far, there have been no precedents for double violations.
Early passing of the Unified State Exam in 2019 is provided for those who:
- Conscripted into the army;

How to successfully pass the Unified State Exam 2019:Tip #1: Develop logic! You won't even be able to pass chemistry with the latest changes by simply cramming - you need to be able to think outside the box. And this can only be achieved by solving a large number of problems. Tip #2: Fill in the gaps! The tasks for the Unified State Exam now cover the entire school course, so if there are gaps in knowledge, they need to be filled. Old books on preparing for oral and written exams for grades 9 and 11 like “1000 questions and answers” are very convenient, where you can find out what is and how to solve a problem in physics with the distribution of forces. Tip #3: Hire a tutor, or better yet two! A tutor is much more effective than courses, and two teachers are 99% likely to be able to prepare you well for the Unified State Exam. But this is subject to regular independent study. Tip #4: Don't worry! In fact, with the current system and the possibility of retaking the exam, the Unified State Exam is not such a terrible test. If the main certification is at least completed with C marks, then there should be no problems with the exam. Tip #5: Exercise daily! You need to study daily, devoting a certain time to each subject. Even with short breaks, the brain can forget important logical chains. |
The Unified State Exam 2019 schedule from FIPI shows that it is necessary to begin intensive preparation already in January.
The schedule of the Unified State Exam (USE) for 2019 was approved by joint orders of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. Download the order.
The Unified State Exam in 2019 for grade 11 will traditionally be held in three stages:
The early and main periods of the Unified State Examination will begin with exams in geography and literature. Reserve periods are provided for each examination period.
Graduates of previous years can take the Unified State Exam during the early period and reserve periods of the main period of the Unified State Exam, graduates of the current year - during the main periods of the main period. Graduates who have the same exam dates in individual academic subjects can also take them on reserve dates. You can take part in the Unified State Exam at other times only if there are valid reasons (illness or other circumstances), documented and confirmed by a corresponding decision of the state examination commission.
Early period of the Unified State Exam 2019 (State Examination Grade 11)
Graduates who received unsatisfactory results in the Russian language and mathematics, or who repeatedly received an unsatisfactory result in one of these academic subjects on a reserve day, can participate in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language and mathematics at the basic level in the additional (September) period.
Additional period (September terms)
The same orders approved the duration of examinations and a list of additional training aids that can be carried with you during examinations in various subjects. They remained unchanged compared to last year.
The Unified State Examination in all academic subjects begins at 10.00 local time.
Duration of the Unified State Exam in profile-level mathematics, physics, literature, computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT), social studies, history is 3 hours 55 minutes (235 minutes); in Russian language, chemistry, biology - 3 hours 30 minutes (210 minutes); in basic level mathematics, geography, foreign languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese) (except for the “Speaking” section) - 3 hours (180 minutes); in foreign languages (English, French, German, Spanish) (section “Speaking”) - 15 minutes; in Chinese (section “Speaking”) - 12 minutes.
Exam participants use teaching and educational tools to complete tasks of control measuring materials of the Unified State Examination in the classrooms of the examination point.
Exam participants are allowed to use the following teaching and educational tools in relevant academic subjects:
In mathematics - a ruler that does not contain reference information (hereinafter referred to as a ruler), for constructing drawings and drawings;
In physics - a ruler for drawing graphs, optical and electrical circuits; a non-programmable calculator that performs arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, root extraction) and the calculation of trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tg, ctg, arctg, arccos, arcsin), and also does not perform the functions of a communication device or database storage and does not have access to data networks (including the Internet) (hereinafter referred to as a non-programmable calculator);
In chemistry - non-programmable calculator; periodic table of chemical elements D.I. Mendeleev, table of solubility of salts, acids and bases in water, electrochemical series of metal voltages;
In geography - a ruler for measuring distances on a topographic map; a protractor that does not contain reference information for determining azimuths from a topographic map; non-programmable calculator;
For foreign languages - technical means that provide playback of audio recordings contained on electronic media to complete tasks in the “Listening” section of the KIM Unified State Examination; computer equipment that does not have access to the Internet, an audio headset for completing tasks in the “Speaking” section of the KIM Unified State Examination.
In connection with all the changes in the country, it was expected that changes would necessarily affect the education system. In particular, this is due to passing the Unified State Exam in 2017. It is planned to add both to the main subjects and to additional ones. The system for passing the Unified State Exam will also change.
If we look at all the pros and cons of this examination system, the Unified State Exam in itself is the most successful option for preventing corruption and independently assessing students’ knowledge.
Required subjects
Already, students and teachers are waiting for the latest news about which subjects will be included in the 2017 Unified State Examination, as well as which of them will be mandatory.
Currently, the following are considered compulsory subjects for the Unified State Exam 2017:
- Russian language,
- mathematics.
The Russian language exam paper has always included two parts, which will also be used for the Unified State Exam 2017. They are taken in the form of an essay on a given topic and written exercises. After finishing 11th grade, writing a “presidential essay” is mandatory, which is accepted on a pass/fail system.
If a graduate fails to write the essay the first time, he gets another chance to retake the essay. But if the student fails to pass the essay successfully on the second attempt, the exams for that particular graduate will be postponed until next year.
In 2017, it is planned to leave everything as it is, supplementing the Russian language test with an oral block. Thus, the emphasis is on ensuring that students are able to demonstrate their communication skills. Rosobnadzor is puzzled by the development of such a technology for passing the Russian language exam, but it needs to be tested in order to make a final decision on the introduction of such a form.
As for mathematics, schoolchildren will take it at two levels to choose from:
- Base
A suitable option for those who do not intend to enter universities in the future with an entrance exam in mathematics. The first level will be taken by those for whom universities in the social, humanities and natural sciences are preferred. This basic level will be graded on a scale of one to five.
- Profile
It will be chosen by those schoolchildren who are going to enter universities with an entrance exam in mathematics. The profile level will be assessed according to a hundred-point system.
Mathematics and the Russian language are the main and quite complex subjects of the Unified State Examination.
Officials of the Ministry of Education plan to add one more subject to the mandatory Unified State Examination exams in 2017, and the same addition is planned for 2018. The result will be that the compulsory Unified State Examination subjects in 2017 will need to be taken not only by grades 9 and 11, but also by primary school students after completing grade 4.
Rumors about adding a compulsory third subject were confirmed by officials. But exactly what subject will be included in the compulsory list is currently unknown. Many are sure that this will be the Unified State Examination in History in 2017. This subject can be included in the list of compulsory ones so that modern youth begins to fully study history, and not treat it superficially.
Additional items
Another question that worries everyone is how many subjects will need to be taken at the Unified State Exam 2017? Last year's set of subjects, in addition to the main ones, did not change in the Unified State Examination in 2017. Just like a year ago, students can choose the following subjects to take the Unified State Exam:
- Physics
- Geography
- Chemistry
- Foreign languages
- Literature
- Social science
- Story
- Computer science
Officials are seriously thinking about including other items on this list. This idea arose due to the fact that, thanks to the experience of past years, a sufficient number of students failed the Unified State Exam.
Advantages and changes of the Unified State Exam
Innovations and new rules indicate that there will be heavy workloads for those taking the Unified State Exam, but even in this case, the changes are positive.
If in 2016 the points received did not in any way affect the certificate score, then in 2017 the points received on the Unified State Exam will influence the overall picture of grades. It is planned that in 2019, to pass the Unified State Exam, it will be necessary to take six subjects, which in turn provides a good selection of disciplines that can serve as a start to higher education. Primary school assessments will also be increased.
Innovations will make it possible to systematically evaluate the knowledge of graduates, and will also teach students order and responsibility. Since it was found that the majority of graduates simply guessed the correct answer options in the test part, in the Unified State Exam 2017 it will be completely excluded and replaced with a survey form used until 2009.
Before releasing these innovations to the masses, the Ministry of Education assured that surveys and rehearsals will first be conducted to understand how much these changes will improve the situation in passing the Unified State Examination.
In any case, the 2017 Unified State Exam is still a long way off, and it is unknown what changes will be finally made. But the most important thing is that graduates can now begin to prepare for exam tests in the Russian language and mathematics. There are definitely no changes planned for these items.
