Note. The written part of the Unified State Exam in foreign languages ​​includes a “Listening” section, all tasks for which (instructions, texts, pauses) are completely recorded on audio media. The organizer must set up the playback of the recording in such a way that all participants in the Unified State Exam can hear it.

Receive drafts from the organizers, with the stamp of the educational organization at the base where the PPE is located (in the case of the Unified State Examination in foreign languages ​​with the “Speaking” section included, drafts are not issued).

• Compare the unique CMM number on the CMM sheets and the CMM number indicated on the control sheet;
• compare the digital value of the barcode on the registration form with the value indicated on the control sheet;
• make sure the values ​​in both pairs of numbers match. In case of a discrepancy, inform the organizers (who will replace the entire EV set);
• check the quality of the printed set (absence of white and dark stripes, the text is clearly readable and clearly printed, security marks located over the entire surface of the CMM sheet are clearly visible), and also check the correctness of the region code and PPE number in the response registration form. If any defect is detected, it is necessary to replace the entire EM set.

• Unified State Exam forms are sealed in return delivery packages.
• In the center of view, the CCTV camera announces the end of the exam and loudly announces all the protocol data.
• They go to the PES Headquarters and hand over all materials to the head of the PES.

The information is posted on the Rosobrnadzor website.

The duration of the Unified State Exam (USE) in English (except for the “Speaking” section) is 3 hours.

The time set for completing Unified State Examination tasks in English was determined on the basis of research and experiments as optimal, since the purpose of the exam is to differentiate graduates according to their level of mastery of the federal state educational standard. Documents defining the structure and content of control measuring materials (CMM) of the Unified State Exam in English, namely codifiers, specifications and demonstration versions of the Unified State Examination CMM, are posted on the official website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI).

Clocks must be prepared in the classrooms of the examination point for additional monitoring of the duration of examination work by Unified State Examination participants.

According to the Procedure for conducting state final certification for educational programs of secondary general education, 30 minutes and 5 minutes before the end of the exam, the organizers inform students and graduates of previous years about the imminent completion of the exam and remind them of the need to transfer answers from drafts and KIM to the exam paper.

The official website of FIPI (http://fipi.ru/) contains an Open Bank of Unified State Examination tasks, the tasks of which are used in the formation of variants of the Unified State Exam KIM in all academic subjects.

Also, at the end of the early stage of the Unified State Exam in 2018, the Unified State Exam KIMs for each academic subject, including English, are posted on the FIPI website. Advance familiarization with CMM tasks allows you to correctly adjust the time for preparing and completing tasks.

All exams, regardless of their form, are associated with anxiety and stress. The Unified State Exam, like any other exam, is no exception. The main task is to learn to cope with anxiety and show acquired skills in stressful situations.

How can I change the date of taking the Unified State Examination in English if the schedule includes two days for taking the exam?

When submitting an application to participate in the Unified State Examination, the period of completion or specific dates of participation in examinations in the relevant academic subjects are indicated.

Changing the timing of the Unified State Examination is not regulated by the Procedure. At the same time, the State Examination Commission of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (SEC) may decide to change the timing of the Unified State Examination if the applicant has valid reasons, supported by documents. To do this, you must submit an application to the State Examination Committee indicating the deadlines for participation in the Unified State Exam and the reasons for changing the previously stated deadlines. This application must be submitted no later than two weeks before the start of the exams.

The final decision for each participant is made individually by the State Examination Committee.

English is the most popular of the four languages ​​taken as part of the Unified State Exam. The current test is almost no different from testing in 2015, with the exception of some improvements in the wording of the oral part task and the fact that the passing score for the entire exam has increased to 22 points compared to last year’s 20. Passing English is no more difficult or easier than German, French or Spanish . The structure of the Unified State Exam in English is also no different from the Unified State Exam in other foreign languages.

Testing is spread over two days. On the first day, the student takes a mandatory written part, consisting of four sections:

1. listening;
2. reading;
3. grammar and vocabulary;
4. letter.

There are a total of 40 tasks in the written part, and 180 minutes are allotted for them. If they wish, students can come on the second day of the exam and take the oral part, which consists of four tasks (to test speaking skills). You have 15 minutes to complete the oral exam.

It is worth noting that only for the written part you can get no more than 80 points.

The conditions for taking the test in 2019 are no different from last year. But before you start taking practice tests and online tests, learn the general information about the exam.

Unified State Examination

To pass the exam, you need to correctly solve at least 17 tasks from section 3 or 2 and 3. Thus, you gain 17 primary points, which, when translated into test scores, give 22. Use our table to reflect your results in a convenient five-point score.

Structure of the Unified State Exam written test

In 2019, the written part of the test consists of four sections, including 40 tasks.

• Section 1: Listening (1–9), answers to tasks are a number or a sequence of numbers.
• Section 2: Reading (10–18), the answers to the tasks are a number or a sequence of numbers.
• Section 3: Grammar and Vocabulary (19–38), the answer to the task is a number, a word or several words written without spaces or punctuation.
• Section 4: Writing (39–40), consists of two tasks - writing a personal letter and a statement with elements of reasoning.

Preparation for the Unified State Exam

• Take the Unified State Exam tests online for free without registration or SMS. The tests presented are identical in complexity and structure to the actual exams conducted in the corresponding years.

• Download demo versions of the Unified State Exam in English, which will allow you to better prepare for the exam and pass it easier. All proposed tests have been developed and approved for preparation for the Unified State Exam by the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). All official versions of the Unified State Exam are developed in the same FIPI.
  The tasks you will see most likely will not appear on the exam, but there will be tasks similar to the demo ones on the same topics.

General Unified State Examination figures

The Russian language is one of the compulsory subjects of the Unified State Exam. Without a positive exam result, the graduate simply will not receive a certificate of secondary education. What is the current version of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language? What should you consider when preparing?

All Unified State Examination tasks in the Russian language assume a good knowledge of the school curriculum and do not go beyond its scope. Nevertheless, the tasks are structured in such a way that they test a wide variety of students’ knowledge and their ability to work with text.

Testing and measuring materials (CMM) in Russian consist of two parts. The first part includes 24 tasks with a short answer or with a choice of the correct answer options. The second part involves writing an essay based on the text you read.

The second part of the exam paper asks you to write an essay based on the text you read. Let us immediately pay attention to the type of speech. Essay-reasoning. That is, your work should have a clear structure: thesis, arguments, conclusion. An essay on the Russian language is written according to a clear plan:

First, we indicate the problem of the text we read. There may be more than one problem in the text. You need to choose one.

Secondly, you need to comment on the formulated problem. Essentially, this is the answer to the question why the author started talking about this. The commentary is taken from the text. What the author saw in the life around him, what he heard, remembered, read, what he spoke about the specified problem.

Fourth, express your point of view. This will be your thesis. You can agree with the author, or you can disagree.

Fifth, choose two arguments to defend your point of view. Moreover, you will receive the highest possible score for this criterion only if one of the arguments is from fiction, scientific literature or journalism.

The second one could be from real life. You can, of course, give two arguments from life, but you will lose one point. Sixth, you need to draw a conclusion by summing up your thoughts. This is exactly the way we see the examination work being assessed when checking the work.

Duration of the Unified State Examination 2018 in Russian

The duration of the Unified State Exam in 2018 will remain unchanged in all subjects except biology. The time for passing the biology exam has been increased by half an hour.

Graduates will take the Unified State Exam in Russian on June 6

Like last year, graduates are given 3.5 hours to work. There will be 26 tasks in the test. One additional task was added this year - in it you will have to find lexical errors in the text. You will need to edit one sentence, eliminating from it an extra word that is not suitable or interferes with the meaning of the speech.

The maximum number of points remains the same - 58. In order to consider the exam passed, you need to score at least 24 points. For admission to a university - a minimum of 36 points. For admission to the budget - as much as possible, because your rating during the competition will depend on this.

The first tasks are test ones. Here you need to be able to use the rules of the Russian language. Moreover, you really need to know the rules, since intuition may not help you in solving tasks.

The test will also include a creative task - an essay on a given topic. It is worth preparing for this part quite seriously, because the examiners take into account both the style and the fulfillment of all the requirements of grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and the like.

How to find out the preliminary results of the Unified State Exam

From May 28 to July 2, 2018, the main stage of the state final certification (GCA) in school subjects takes place. A lot depends on the exam results, so the period ahead is exciting. We wish everyone good luck and the highest possible scores!

The Unified State Examination is conducted according to a unified schedule. All students will take an exam in a specific subject on the same day. For example, during the main stage, everyone takes the Russian language on June 6th.

They don't check the work right away. This takes several days, but the deadlines are regulated. The schedule for processing and publishing results is posted on the official Unified State Exam portal. For example, the results of the exam in basic level mathematics will be known before June 15, and in the Russian language - until June 25.

You can find out the results for each subject on the State Services portal or at the educational institution.
