What score. Primary and test (secondary) USE scores: what is the difference? How and when you can find out the results of the exam

Each graduate who wants to become a student of one of the universities of the Russian Federation in 2018 faces a difficult task - to successfully pass the exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. The majority of 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed light on important points.

In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point system for grading final tests will still be relevant for graduates.

How is everything going?

In the course of checking the examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate receives the so-called “primary points”, which, upon completion of the work check, are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the USE certificate.

Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting primary and test USE scores into traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 final exams are not included in the certificate.

Checking work is done in two ways:

• automatically (with the help of special programs and technical means);
• manually (the correctness of detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).

It is quite difficult to challenge the result of an automatic check. If the basic rules were not followed when filling out the answer table, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself, who did not follow a number of mandatory rules, will be to blame for this.

If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.

When to expect results?

The following time limits apply by law:

• data processing (for compulsory subjects) at the RCSC should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
• for data processing (subjects of choice) RTsOI give 4 days;
• verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days;
• approval of the results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
• up to 3 days to send the results to the USE participants.

In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result, it can take from 8 to 14 days.

Converting USE scores to grade

Despite the fact that officially in 2018 the scale for converting points in USE subjects into a five-point grade is not used, many still want to interpret their result in a more familiar "school" system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

The second method is a little easier and more convenient than searching for the desired values ​​in the cells of a huge table. Simply select a subject (mathematics, Russian, chemistry, physics, history, English, social studies ... and other subjects), enter the data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.

We suggest trying how simple and convenient it is to use in practice the online calculators of the USE score and its conversion to a 5-point grade.

Internet systems for applicants

The academic year 2017-2018 is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for transferring primary scores showed that the USE result is in a fairly good range ... But, is this enough to enter the desired university?

Assess the real chances of entry, based on test scores and the minimum passing threshold set by the university.

Important! The minimum passing score is formed by the university itself. It will directly depend on the scores of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score will be.

Often, at the TOP faculties, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget. Only winners of the Olympiads, who give significant additional points, have a chance to see their last name in the lists of applicants for such areas.

In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the entrance score threshold for various specialties will be:

1. Ucheba.ru
2. Apply online
3. HSE calculator
4. Postyplenie.ru
5. Typical entrant

Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.

The 2018-2019 academic year will be the graduation year for many Russian schoolchildren who are already concerned about successfully passing the Unified State Exam and successfully entering a good university.

We will tell you how exam papers are checked in various subjects, how the scale for converting USE scores into grades works, and what innovations can be expected in 2019.

Principles for evaluating the work of the USE 2019

Over the past few years, the USE system in a number of subjects has undergone significant changes and has been brought to the optimal (according to the organizers) format, which allows to fully assess the amount of knowledge of a graduate in a particular subject.

No fundamental changes are expected in 2018-2019, and we can say with confidence that the same principles will be applied to evaluate the work of graduates as in 2017-2018:

1. automated verification of forms;
2. involvement of experts in checking tasks with detailed answers.

How does the computer evaluate?

The first part of the examination paper involves a short answer to the questions posed, which the USE participant must enter in a special answer form.

Important! Before starting the work, be sure to read the rules for filling out the form, as an incorrectly executed work will not pass an automated check.

It is quite difficult to challenge the result of a computer check. If the work was not counted due to the fault of the participant who incorrectly filled out the form, the result is equated to unsatisfactory.

How do experts evaluate?

In many subjects, in addition to the test part, there are tasks that require a full detailed answer. Since it is impossible to automate the process of checking such answers, experts are involved in the verification - experienced teachers with a long work experience.

When checking the exam, the teacher does not know (and even with a strong desire cannot find out) whose work lies in front of him and in which city (region) it was written. Verification is carried out on the basis of uniform assessment criteria developed specifically for each subject. Each work is checked by two experts. If the opinion of the experts coincides, the assessment is put on the form, but if independent appraisers disagree, then a third expert is involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.

That is why it is important to write legibly and accurately so that there is no ambiguous interpretation of words and phrases.

Primary and test scores

Based on the results of the test, the USE participant is awarded a certain number of primary points, which are then transferred to text (points for the entire test). In different subjects, a different maximum of primary points is provided, depending on the number of tasks. But after bringing the result according to the corresponding table, the USE participant receives the final test score, which is the official result of his final tests (maximum 100 points).

So, in order to pass the exam, it is enough to score the established minimum threshold for the initial score:

Focusing on these numbers, you can accurately understand that the exam has been passed. But what kind of assessment? The online scale of 2018 will help you with this, designed specifically for converting primary USE scores into test ones, which will also be relevant for the results of 2019. A handy calculator can be found on the website 4ege.ru.

Announcement of official results

Graduates are always concerned about the question - how quickly you can find out what result was obtained when passing and what will be the scale for converting points scored on the exam into traditional grades in 2019.

Teachers are often taken to reassure students by working through the tasks of the USE tickets immediately after the exam and evaluating the quality of the work done by the pupils and the amount of primary points scored. Official results must be expected for 8-14 days, according to the established regulations for the USE-2019. On average, the organizers approve the following inspection schedules:

• 3 days to check the work;
• 5-6 days for information processing at the federal level;
• 1 working day to approve the results of the SEC;
• 3 days to post results online and transfer data to educational institutions.

In the event of unforeseen situations and technical problems, these terms may be revised.

You can find out the owl score:

• directly at your school;
• on the check.ege.edu.ru portal;
• on the gosuslugi.ru website.

Converting points to grade

Since 2009, the results of the USE have not been included in the graduate certificate. Therefore, today there is no official state system for translating the USE result into an assessment on a school 5-point scale. As part of the introductory campaign, the test score scored in the exam is always summed up and taken into account. But, many students are still interested to know how they passed the exam - 3 or 4, 4 or 5. For this, there is a special table that details the correspondence for each of the 100 points for each of the subjects.

Using such a table is quite inconvenient. It is much easier to find out how you passed the Russian language, mathematics or history using the 4ege.ru online calculator, which also contains the USE score conversion scale, which is relevant for 2019 graduates.

Having received the result of the exam, it is worth deciding on the university as soon as possible, comparing your capabilities with the real competition for the specialties of interest. Thus, the practice of past years shows that in a number of cases it is difficult to get into the most popular areas in metropolitan universities even with high scores, because not only holders of 100-point USE results, but also winners of the largest Olympiads of the 2018-2019 academic year will compete for places.

All 11th grade students who will take the USE in 2019 are interested in the question of how primary scores will be transferred to secondary ones and what will be the scale for matching USE results with school grades.

We offer to delve into the issue of scoring for compulsory subjects of final exams and find out what results can be considered sufficient for admission to a university in subjects of choice.

EGE assessment 2019

Important! There will be no cardinal changes in the system for assessing examination papers in 2019, and the scale for converting primary scores into test scores, developed for the previous USE season, will be relevant for most subjects.

An exception to the rule will be biology and social studies, for which some innovations in KIMs are provided, which entailed a slight change in the maximum primary score, namely:

As in 2018, final papers will be reviewed in two ways:

1. using automated electronic systems that recognize the standard USE 2019 answer form;
2. with the involvement of experts who will have to manually evaluate the detailed answers of an increased and high level of complexity.

When checking the work, the graduate will be counted primary scores (hereinafter referred to as PB), and after that they will be transferred to a test score (hereinafter referred to as TB), which will be the resulting one, counted as the official result of the exam.

Score correspondence tables for compulsory subjects

Despite loud promises to expand the range of compulsory exams for graduates of the 11th grade, mathematics and Russian remain compulsory this academic year. The prospect of introducing history and the English language is being actively discussed and studied by experts.

For each subject of the USE 2019, there is a correspondence table, according to which the transfer of primary scores will take place.

Russian language

The Russian language exam will be the main one in 2019 as well. The transfer of primary scores received by the examinee based on the results of checking parts I and II of the USE exam ticket 2019 into secondary (resulting, test) scores will be carried out according to the following correspondence table.

Thus, to obtain a document on education, it is enough for a graduate to score 10 PB (24 TB), but only those who score at least 16 PB (36 TB) will be able to join the fight for a budgetary place in one of the universities in Russia.

Maths

The results of the USE in mathematics at the basic level are not considered when entering a university, and in order to receive a certificate, those who pass this exam need only get 7 (out of 20 possible) primary points, which will correspond to a grade of "3".

Graduates who pass mathematics at the profile level in 2019, having calculated the primary score, can independently determine the result by transferring from primary scores to secondary (test) ones according to the following table:

Score correspondence tables for elective subjects

The difference between the interpretation of the results in the subjects of mathematics and Russian, as well as other disciplines of the Unified State Examination 2019, is that for compulsory subjects, when translating primary points, they distinguish separately the minimum threshold for obtaining a certificate and separately the lower limit of the result that allows you to apply to the university. For all items of choice, these two lower bounds are the same.

Biology

The minimum passing grade for Biology in 2019 will be 16 PB, which is equivalent to 32 TB.

Story

Those who have overcome the minimum threshold in history for the USE in 2019 will be considered the guys who scored 9 PB, which the translation of primary points set in the table interprets as 32 out of 100 possible TB.

Informatics

The maximum primary score in computer science is 35, and to overcome the minimum threshold, it is enough to get only 6 points, which, according to the table below, corresponds to 40 TB out of 100 possible.

Social science

In order to gain the desired 100 TB for many at the upcoming Unified State Examination in Social Studies 2019, the final assessment participant will need to get the maximum possible 64 primary points. In this case, the minimum threshold for the subject will be 21 PB or 42 TB.

Chemistry

A maximum of 60 primary points can be obtained for a perfectly executed job. At the same time, the minimum result that allows you to receive documents on education and try to continue your education will be a threshold of 13 PB or 36 TB.

Physics

The discipline is rightfully considered one of the most difficult among the elective subjects of the Unified State Examination. Although the minimum threshold is only 10 PB (33 TB) points, not everyone can overcome it. But, having received a high result, a graduate can confidently enter the struggle for a budgetary place in the best technical universities in the country.

Geography

Today, the subject does not belong today to the popular disciplines of the Unified State Examination, because only a few universities that provide training with a narrow specialization require this certificate. If you are determined to take this particular subject, it will not be so difficult to overcome the lower bar of 10 PB (respectively, 34 TB). If you need a certificate with close to the maximum result, you should pay as much attention to preparation as possible.

Literature

An exam that is often chosen by guys who want to connect their lives with journalism or other creative professions. The minimum threshold for literature in 2019 will be 14 PB = 30 TB, and the maximum score of 100 points can be obtained by earning 58 out of 58 possible starting points.

Foreign languages

The calculation of scores in foreign languages ​​is the simplest, because for this group of subjects of the USE 2019 there is a direct transfer of primary scores into test scores according to the one-to-one system.

1 PB = 1 TB

As a minimum threshold for 2019, a result of 22 points was adopted.

Conclusion

The minimum scores indicated in the tables give a hypothetical opportunity to participate in the struggle for a budget place. In practice, passing scores to the university are much higher. This indicator varies from year to year and depends on the number of applicants applying for a particular specialty and the results of their USE certificates.

You can find out what the passing score was for the specialty you are interested in, as well as what certificates are needed to participate in the competition for budget places, on the website of the university where you plan to apply.

If you are interested in what grade the received test score corresponds to, use the unofficial table for interpreting the results of the USE 2019:

When passing the exam testing, students are asked to complete 24 basic tasks from the first part. They require graduates to provide a short answer, which is recorded in verbal or digital form. The second part of the exam testing contains only one task. Students are asked to write an essay.

How is the transfer of USE scores in the Russian language carried out and what is the minimum and maximum number of them that can be obtained? These issues are one of the most exciting for both high school students themselves, and for their parents and teachers. After checking the final test, a primary score is set: from 0 to 58. For each task, a certain number of them is provided: from 1 to 5. The more difficult it is, the more points the graduate receives. Evaluation of the results of writing an essay is carried out in a different way. For him, students can be awarded from 0 to 24 points.

Then the primary scores are converted into test scores. They are indicated in the certificate of the unified state examination. It is this result that is taken into account when entering universities.

How many points do you need to score to talk about passing the test? It should be borne in mind that students who have received a certificate may not always qualify for admission to universities. It is possible to talk about the successful assimilation of the main general education program and the possibility of entering a university only if the student scored 16 primary, or 36 test points, respectively. will be taken into account in the student's rating in the list of applicants. The average passing score is at least 65-75. Graduates planning to enter leading universities in Moscow and other cities of our country should take into account the fact that in this case this figure will be higher.

Translation of USE scores in Russian is carried out using a special scale. It should be borne in mind that the algorithm is adjusted from year to year.
