Secondary points. Minimum test score
Assessment of the Unified State Exam 2018 In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the Unified State Exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point assessment system for final tests will still be relevant for graduates. How is everything going? During the verification of examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is given so-called “primary points”, which upon completion of the verification of the work are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate.
Since 2009, the scale for converting primary and test scores of the Unified State Exam into the traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate. Verification of work is carried out in two ways: automatically (using 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 will be to blame for this, for not following a number of mandatory rules.
How to challenge the results of the Unified State Exam 2018
If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive. When can I expect results? According to the law, the following time frames apply: data processing (for compulsory subjects) in the RCIO should not last longer than 6 calendar days; RCIO is given 4 days to process data (elective subjects); verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days; approval of results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day; up to 3 days for distribution of results to Unified State Exam participants
Despite the fact that in 2018 the scale for converting points in Unified State Examination subjects into a five-point grade is not officially used, many still want to interpret their results in a more familiar “school” system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.
Therefore, we provide below a table from which you can compare the Unified State Exam scores with the standard school grade.

For the first time, a Moscow graduate scored 400 points, passing four Unified State Examinations - compulsory Russian language and mathematics and two optional ones - with the highest score. The head of Rosobrnadzor, Sergei Kravtsov, told reporters about this on Tuesday.
“A Moscow graduate, a student of a very good school, scored 400 points. He took the Russian language and specialized mathematics, chemistry and biology,” Kravtsov said. According to him, this is “nothing surprising.” “Such children will appear. It took us five years to achieve a stable and objective examination. Children understand this and study a lot and try,” said the head of Rosobrnadzor.

The Unified State Exam in social studies is traditionally the most popular exam. Lancman School Unified State Exam courses have prepared for you detailed information about everything related to the Unified State Exam in social studies in 2019.
The date of the Unified State Examination in social studies is June 10 (Monday)
Date of announcement of results – no later than June 25 (Tuesday)
The minimum Unified State Exam score in social studies for admission to a university in 2019 is 42 points.
How to file an appeal about disagreement with Unified State Exam scores
Firstly, you should know that you must file an appeal within 2 days of the official announcement of the results. Due to the fact that the date of the official announcement of results is never known in advance (only approximate dates are written on official websites), you must carefully monitor when social studies results appear in your personal account. Secondly, keep in mind that Saturday can also be considered a working day, so it is important not to miss the deadline for filing an appeal.
Where can I file an appeal?
Graduates of 11th grade file an appeal at the supporting school. You need to start this “crusade” from your home school. It is at your school that you must inform that you intend to protest the points received for the Unified State Exam in social studies. They must tell you where and how this can be done. It is imperative to download all materials for the exam in your personal account and show them to the teacher before the appeal in order to understand how to behave during a dialogue with members of the Conflict Commission.
How to properly prepare for an appeal
Step 1. Download all Unified State Exam materials in social studies from your personal account.
Step 2. Carefully check the sheet of answers to test questions, which was filled out in your own hand, with the so-called “reading sheet”. What should I check here? You need to make sure that your answers are correctly interpreted by the computer throughout, that is, all letters and numbers must match. Sometimes there are “computer” errors that deprive graduates of legitimate points, so such a technical glitch must be challenged on appeal.
Step 3. Carefully review Part II with an experienced teacher and check the work against the marks earned for this part of the work. The problem is that not a single USE participant sees either the tasks themselves or the correct answers to them. Part II in your personal account can only be downloaded in an unverified version. Where the experts found your mistakes and why they reduced your points - one can only guess. That is why it is very difficult to figure it out without an experienced mentor. By the way, during the appeal you may have your points reduced if an undetected error is discovered. It is at this stage (after careful verification and analysis) that it is possible to develop a detailed line of conduct for an appeal to the Conflict Commission. We advise you to even write down a plan of your claims with all the arguments in your favor.
Step 4. Be sure to go to the appeal with a teacher or tutor. If you manage to come to an agreement with your school teacher, that will be great. If it doesn’t work out, you can always resort to paid help from professionals. If you studied with a tutor, it is better to take him with you too.

Is it possible to retake the Unified State Exam to improve the result?
The Unified State Exam can only be retaken next year. But compulsory subjects - Russian language or mathematics - are allowed to be retaken this year, but only if the participant has not overcome the minimum threshold in one of these subjects. For example, if one of the exams is passed successfully, but the required minimum is not achieved in the second. If a graduate does not pass both mandatory exams, he will be able to retake them in September. It happens that a student came to an exam, began to write a paper, but for some valid reason was unable to complete it. In this case, the result is considered cancelled, and you can retake the exam on a reserve day.
If a student does not agree with the points assigned, where and to whom should he go?
Within two working days after the official day of announcement of the results, you must submit an appeal to the place where the application for the Unified State Exam was written. Usually this is a school. She will immediately transfer the appeal to the conflict commission. Each region has such commissions, and everyone has the right to prove their case.
Recently, the “100 points for Victory” event was held in Nalchik, when last year’s 100-point students told current graduates how to successfully pass the Unified State Exam. There was one girl who was given 97 points on the exam, but she was sure that she deserved an even higher mark. The work was reviewed and given 100 points.
Recently, the number of applications to conflict commissions has decreased. Those guys who filed an appeal just like that, on the off chance: what if the examiners add points, stopped applying? Now all statements are essentially, as a rule, from those who are very confident in their abilities and knowledge.
Since 2001, many schoolchildren have become familiar with a new type of exam - the Unified State Examination (USE), despite the fact that its introduction into the school education system occurred smoothly, they did not become less afraid of it. Future graduates are interested in questions about the number of upcoming exams, but also about the scores they should receive.
Unified State Examination scores
There are three types of minimum points that students can receive based on the results of passing the Unified State Exam:
- The first type gives the right to receive a certificate;
- The second makes it possible to submit documents to higher educational institutions in the country;
- The third is sufficient for admission on a budgetary basis in a specific specialty at a specific university in the country.
It is not surprising that for many students, the Unified State Exam has become a rather strong emotional test; in fact, you shouldn’t stress yourself out too much before taking the exams, you need to prepare well and be confident in yourself. Despite all the rigor of the procedure, this is just an exam that can be retaken in case of failure. With proper training and approach, passing the Unified State Exam is not so difficult.
The Unified State Exam forms contain various tasks; they must be completed within a certain time; as they complete them, the student receives primary points; each subject has its own maximum values. When checking the level of knowledge, the primary scores are converted into final scores and they are entered into the certificate; they are the main ones for admission to a university.
Planned passing scores in 2018
There is still time before the exam, and many who wish can familiarize themselves with the passing scores in 2018, not only to know them, but also to be able to prepare for the Unified State Exam in advance.
| Item | Rating 5 | Score 4 | Score 3 | Did not pass |

Many universities announce in advance the score required for admission to a budget place, this allows you to realistically assess your chances of getting into your chosen educational institution, as well as select the most suitable options. In 2018, no major changes are expected when passing the Unified State Exam and entering a university; students can rely on the data from the previous year, so in 2017 for educational institutions in the capital the passing score was 80 - 90; for other cities the requirements are not so high and vary between 65 - 75 points.
Will there be changes in 2018?
At first glance, there is simply nothing to change in the education system, however, the level of education in our country is getting lower and lower every year, it is reasonable to conclude that it is time to change everything. It’s hard for everyone: students, their parents, and of course, teachers. The requirements are getting higher and higher every year; for many, the exam is stressful; some cannot cope with such pressure.
Today, mathematics and Russian are compulsory subjects, with plans to add more in 2018. Since 2009, compulsory exams have been held in subjects that are not only graduation from school, but also entrance to universities in our country. It is not surprising that there are plans to introduce history as another compulsory subject. It is planned to implement the plan in 2018 or 2019; in any case, the data will either be confirmed or refuted very soon.
Attitude to the Unified State Exam
Since 2001, the attitude towards the Unified State Exam is still relevant, some oppose its implementation, others defend it as progress in the education system, and there are those who do not emphasize it, continuing to study and teach.
