How the Unified State Examination in Russian is conducted. Exam in Russian language

In 2017, all the main characteristics of the examination work as a whole will be preserved.


It is expected that the language material will be expanded to complete tasks 17, 22, 23.

Task 17 tests the ability of examinees to isolate constructions that are grammatically unrelated to a sentence. Punctuation in introductory constructions is traditionally difficult for examinees due to the need to distinguish between syntactically fundamentally different phenomena, while often being semantically similar (for example, “however” is an introductory word and a conjunction). The heterogeneity and large number of the group of introductory and inserted constructions, the variety of their typified meanings and shades prevent students from successfully mastering this punctuation topic. Having not mastered the composition of a large group of these words and the features of their semantics, and having not learned to distinguish introductory words and phrases from sentence members, students turn to the intonation features of such units: the only clue examinees consider is the intonational emphasis of potential introductory words, which is wrong, and not always the intonation structure may indicate the presence of an introductory construction in the sentence. The conclusion about the status of a unit as an input is correct only if it meets all the requirements for such linguistic phenomena. It is the “incompleteness” of grammatical and punctuation analysis that leads to errors in the qualification of introductory units and the placement of punctuation marks with them.

In 2017, it is planned to expand the language material of this assignment by adding separate appeals to this topic. It should be noted that both prose and poetic text can be used as the language material involved in the task. A participant in the 2017 exam, completing task 17, may encounter different language material. However, the wording of the task will remain the same.

The expansion of the language material in task 22, focused on testing the ability to conduct a lexical analysis of a word in context and allowing to assess such important skills of students as the ability to adequately understand the written speech of other people, the ability to relate a linguistic phenomenon with the meaning that it receives in the text, will consist of the fact that the specified phenomenon in the source text may not be presented in the singular. Thus, a request to write out a phraseological unit from the text does not mean that in the specified fragment there is only one phraseological unit, there may be several of them. The task is to write out only one. This change is dictated by the negative impact of the situation when an exam participant is focused on searching for only one answer.

As already noted, the exam results showed that the section related to the analysis of the structure of the text, clarifying the ways and means of connecting sentences remains insufficiently mastered, which manifests itself in part 2 of the work as a violation of the logic of thought development. Task 23 in 2017 requires both one and several answers. It is planned to change the wording of this task.

(20) For whole days he lay in the clearings and looked at the flowers and herbs with curiosity. (21) Berg collected rose hips and fragrant juniper, carefully examined the autumn leaves. (22) At sunset, flocks of cranes flew over the lake to the south, murmuring. (23) Berg for the first time felt a stupid insult: the cranes seemed to him traitors. (24) They abandoned without regret this deserted, forested and solemn region, full of nameless lakes and impassable thickets.

(25) It started raining in September. (26) Yartsev got ready to leave. (27) Berg got angry. (28) How was it possible to leave in the midst of this extraordinary autumn? (29) Berg now felt Yartsev’s departure the same way he once felt the departure of the cranes - it was betrayal. (30) To what? (31) Berg could hardly answer this question. (32) Betrayal of forests, lakes, autumn, and finally, the warm sky drizzling with frequent rain.

“(33) I’m staying,” Berg said sharply. - (34) I want to write this fall.

(35) Yartsev left. (36) The next day Berg woke up from the sun. (37) Light shadows of the branches trembled on the clean floor, and a quiet blue spread behind the door. (38) Berg encountered the word “radiance” only in the books of poets; he considered it pretentious and devoid of clear meaning. (39) But now he understood how accurately this word conveys that special light that comes from the September sky and sun.

The Unified State Examination in the Russian language is a mandatory exam. In total, 616,590 people took part in the main period of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2017 (in 2016 - 658,392 people; in 2015 - 672,407 people).

The results of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language in 2017 are generally comparable with the results of the Unified State Examination of previous years.

On the official website of FIPI, in the section “Analytical and methodological materials”, “Methodological recommendations for teachers, prepared on the basis of an analysis of typical mistakes of participants in the Unified State Exam 2017” have been published, this is where you can find information about What was the average Unified State Exam score in Russian in 2017?.

Average Unified State Examination score in Russian language 2015 - 2017

Year Average Test Score Test Score Range
0–20 21–40 41–60 61–80 81–100
2017 69,06 0,43% 2,62% 23,61% 48,30% 25,04%
2016 68,5 0,82% 3,40% 24,45% 45,75% 25,58%
2015 66,16 1,69% 4,79% 26,98% 46,75% 19,80%

The share of examinees who scored 100 points on the exam remained unchanged compared to 2016 – 0.5%. The share of high-scorers also remains stable: 25.5% in 2016 and 25% in 2017.

In 2017, the share of graduates who did not pass the minimum threshold (who did not receive the minimum (24) test score) decreased by 0.5%: from 0.99% (2016) to 0.54% (2017). The main reasons for the decrease in the share of such participants in the Russian language include the successful implementation of the Rosobrnadzor system of measures to improve the quality of teaching the Russian language in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Data on changes in the number and share of 100-point students in 2015–2017. are given in table. 2.

Statistics on the performance of work as a whole and individual tasks make it possible to identify the main problems in the preparation of examinees in the Russian language. As in previous years, sections of the course related to the formation of communicative competence remain insufficiently mastered. Insufficiently developed skills of analytical work with words and text, the lack of sufficient practice in analyzing linguistic phenomena also affect the quality of writing an argumentative essay. Graduates experience the greatest difficulties when applying punctuation and spelling standards in written speech.

(6) I am sure: both lists include the problem of interaction between man and machine, and in connection with it the problem of morality, morality, which organically follows from such interaction.

(7) The history of science fiction is the history of ideas that changed the world, but which were first ridiculed and rejected. (8) Let me explain this idea.

(9) If thirty years ago, in one of my stories, I wrote that we would soon be surrounded by polluted air, poisoned water, and deadly traffic, you would have exclaimed:

(10) - A vile fiction! (11) Pure fantasy!

(12) Now look around! (13) The time has come!

(14) If I wrote that the time will come and with the help of credit checks people will begin to borrow from “tomorrow” in order to live today, you would snort in indignation:

(15) - Nonsense and lies! (16) Never!

(17) If I wrote about a device that transmits an image through the air and thereby influences the mentality of mankind, I would be thrown out the door.

(20) They laughed in 1930, in 1940, in 1950. (21) They continued to laugh until the first artificial Earth satellite was launched in October 1957.

(24) Only when fascist tanks appeared in France did everyone believe it.

(25) Hitler's tanks and armored vehicles razed Western Europe to the ground in a few weeks. (26) And only devices described in science fiction literature and called airplanes, not yet invented in 1900, still primitive in 1939, helped England defend its airspace.

(27) This is only part of a list in which one can count a thousand items.

(28) Several decades ago, radio, television, cars, and the hydrogen bomb did not exist. (29) The air was clean.

(30) All the achievements of science and technology that have brought benefit or harm to humanity over the past fifty years were born in the head of a science fiction writer long before that.

(31) Serious times have come. (32) And science fiction is especially needed now because it makes attempts to study each new machine long before it appears and begins to destroy or rebuild us and the world around us.

(33) Now that we have almost completely reaped the harvest of technical innovations, we need to develop some norms for the relationship between man and technology so as not to be insolvent in the face of the future.

(34) Plato told us about his dream state. (35) Science fiction writers subsequently also imagined states of steel, electricity, and atomic energy that would make us different. (36) In this particular world of the solar system lost in space, we are beings who are trying to know and understand ourselves better, beings who are trying to create machines that have our minds, capable of seeing, hearing, feeling the world better than us and - God willing - more kind. (37) This would make it possible to extend the life of our planet by another two billion years if we achieve harmonious coexistence with the machines we have created.

(38) Can you name a greater goal than this?

(module Adaptive Adsense block at the end of the article)

The topic that perhaps most worried future school graduates was the possible introduction of a third compulsory subject on the Unified State Exam. A variety of subjects were mentioned as possible “candidates” - from history to physics.


However, all significant innovations in the Unified State Exam 2017 should have been announced on the official FIPI website before the start of the academic year and, of course, reflected in the draft exam schedule. But there is no official news about the “third compulsory” at the beginning of the school year. Therefore, eleventh graders can breathe a sigh of relief: the list of compulsory subjects for the Unified State Exam 2017 does not change, there are still two of them:



  • Russian language(the results of which are taken into account for admission to all universities in the country without exception);


  • mathematics – basic or specialized level to choose from.

Nevertheless, the issue of a third compulsory exam continues to be discussed - but, as representatives of the Ministry of Education assured, a decision will be made only after public discussion. And this will not happen “right now”.

Unified State Examination in Russian Language - 2017: changes in individual tasks

The structure of the Russian language task will remain unchanged: a block of tasks with short answers and an essay analyzing the problems posed in the journalistic or artistic text proposed to the examinee. There is no word yet on the appearance of the oral part of speech. In the future, “speaking” may appear in the Unified State Exam in Russian, but representatives of the Ministry of Education stipulated that this technology will be preliminary “tested” at the Unified State Exam in classes.


In 2017, changes to the Unified State Examination in the Russian language are planned for only three tasks, and they will not be very significant. In all cases, we are talking about expanding the language material:



  • in task No. 17(in sentences that include isolated constructions) not only introductory words will be presented, but also addresses;


  • in task No. 22(lexical in context) examinees previously had to find in a given fragment only one word or expression (for example, a phraseological phrase) that corresponded to the criteria of the task. Now the task becomes more complicated: from several “suitable” lexical units you will have to choose the one that most accurately meets the conditions of the task.


  • in task 23(write down the numbers of sentences related to the previous ones in a certain way) now both one and several correct answers are possible. That is, the student needs to find all such sentences in the passage and enter either one or several numbers in the form.

Unified State Exam in Mathematics -2017: profile and basic exam without changes

The Unified State Exam in mathematics remains divided into two levels:


  • a relatively simple basic exam graded on a five-point scale, which mainly tests knowledge in the so-called “” field and the results of which are not accepted upon admission to a university and are needed only to obtain a certificate;


  • specialized - much more complex, aimed at those graduates who plan to enter technical universities, where mathematics is a compulsory subject for admission.

According to official data published on the FIPI website, no changes are planned in any of the exams compared to 2016. However, students who have chosen a specialized level, when preparing for the Unified State Exam in mathematics, should keep in mind that the authors of the exam have taken a course to counteract “training” in solving problems of a certain type. And tasks of increased complexity may turn out to be non-standard: not beyond the scope of the school course, but requiring “mathematical ingenuity.”


In 2016, the presence of problems in the versions that differed in the solution algorithm from the options presented in the demo versions came as a surprise to many and caused protests and demands to reconsider the results. However, the developers of the exam made their position quite clear: one of the main functions of the Unified State Exam is to differentiate students by level of knowledge, and schoolchildren who have perfectly mastered the full school mathematics course are more prepared to study the subject at the university level and should have advantages over those who have simply trained to solve problems. tasks of a given type. So, most likely, “non-standard” mathematics tasks in 2017 will also be included in KIMs.

Unified State Exam in Social Studies: minor changes in structure

The USE in social studies in 2017 will generally correspond to the 2016 model:


  • block of tasks with short answers;

  • a block of tasks with detailed answers;

  • An “alternative” task is to write an essay on the topic of one of the proposed statements.

However, minor changes are planned in the block of short answer tasks. The task that appeared in the 2016 KIMs under number 19 (differentiation of facts, opinions and value judgments) will be excluded from it. But there will be one more task in the “law” module: choosing the correct judgments from lists, which will be the seventeenth in a row.


The total number of tasks and the maximum primary score in the exam in the most popular elective subject will remain unchanged.

Unified State Exam in Physics 2017: significant changes, exclusion of the test part

The Unified State Exam in Physics in 2017 will be one of the three subjects that have undergone the most significant changes: and The test part is completely excluded from the exam structure, which involves choosing one correct answer from a list of options. Instead it will be significantly expanded set of tasks with short answers(in the form of a word, number or sequence of numbers). At the same time, the distribution of tasks across sections of the school course will remain approximately the same as in previous years. In total, the first block of the exam will have 21 questions:


  • 7 – in mechanics,

  • 5 – on thermodynamics and MCT,

  • 6 – on electrodynamics,

  • 3 – in quantum physics.

The second part of the examination paper (problems with detailed answers) will remain unchanged. The primary score on the Unified State Exam in Physics will also remain at the level of last year.


Unified State Examination in Literature -2017: structure unchanged, but more questions on knowledge of the text

By 2018, the Unified State Exam in Literature will undergo drastic changes: FIPI plans to completely eliminate the block of tasks with short answers, leaving only four mini-essays and one full-length one. But in 2017, the literature exam will be held according to the old, already familiar model:


  • the first semantic block is an excerpt from an epic or dramatic work, 7 questions with short answers and two mini-essays on it;

  • the second block is a lyrical work, 5 questions about it with short answers and two mini-essays;

  • the third is an extended essay (choice of three topics).

However, if in 2016 most questions with short answers were aimed primarily at testing knowledge of basic literary terms, then in 2017 these assignments will be aimed primarily at knowledge of the realities of the text. Thus, it will no longer be possible to “cross the threshold” only by knowing a small amount of theory.


You should pay attention to one more feature of the literature exam. In accordance with the rules, KIMs can include not only poems included in the school curriculum. If a poet is included in the codifier, any of his poems can be offered for analysis. And this is legitimate - since mini-essays on a poetic passage should demonstrate the examinee’s ability to analyze the text independently, and not remember the corresponding paragraph of the textbook. In 2016, “non-program” poems appeared in many versions of KIMs, and, most likely, this trend will continue in 2017.

Unified State Examination in Biology - radical changes in 2017, exclusion of the test part and increase in duration

The Unified State Exam model in biology will change fundamentally in 2017: from the assignment the “test” component will be completely eliminated(questions with the choice of one correct answer from four proposed options), but the number of tasks with short answers will be increased.


In the control and measuring materials will appear fundamentally new types of tasks for the Unified State Exam in biology, among which:


  • restoration of missing elements in tables or diagrams;

  • analysis of graphs, charts and tables;

  • searching for errors in the notation in the figure;

  • inferring the properties of a biological object from a “blind” image (without captions).

However, the developers of the exam believe that the updated Unified State Exam in biology will not cause significant difficulties for students: many types of tasks have already been tested on the Unified State Exam. The number of tasks with detailed answers will not change - there will still be seven of them, and the types of questions will correspond to the 2016 model.


Changing the structure of the exam will entail a number of changes in the procedure and grading scale:


  • the total number of tasks will decrease from 40 to 28;

  • the primary score is reduced to 59 (in 2017 it was 61);

  • The time to complete the work is increased by half an hour, the duration of the exam will be 210 minutes.

Unified State Examination in a foreign language – practically unchanged

The USE in foreign languages ​​in 2017 will be held almost the same as in 2016, with only one exception. Formulation of task No. 3 in the oral part of the exam (picture description) will be changed. As FIPI experts note, when describing images, examinees sometimes abuse “imaginary circumstances,” claiming, for example, that their relatives (including wives and children) or themselves are depicted here (“I’m an astronaut and I’m floating in zero gravity”). This conflicts with the purpose of this task, which tests the ability to fully and accurately describe a specific photograph.


Therefore, the task will be clarified. Thus, in the Unified State Examination in English in 2017, the word Imagine is excluded from the wording, and the word present is changed to describe. Similar changes will be made to KIMs for other foreign languages ​​- so that it is clear that we are talking specifically about describing a picture, and not a “story based on it”.

Unified State Exam in Chemistry 2017: significant changes, exclusion of the test part

The 2017 Unified State Exam model in chemistry will also undergo significant changes related to the exclusion of the test part - and increase in the number and types of tasks with short answers. Among them there will be, for example:


  • tasks with choosing two correct options from several proposed ones,

  • compliance questions,

  • calculation tasks.

Will change and structure of the first part exam: it will include several thematic blocks dedicated to one of the sections - and each block will contain tasks of both basic and advanced levels of complexity. The second part of the exam paper (tasks with detailed answers) will remain almost the same as in previous years.


Wherein:


  • the total number of tasks will decrease from 40 to 34;

  • the maximum primary score will decrease from 64 to 60;

  • tasks No. 9 and 17 (relationship of organic and inorganic substances) will no longer be assessed with one primary point, but with two.

Unified State Examination in History - minor changes in the assessment system

In 2017, the history exam will be almost completely identical to last year’s options. However, there will be changes in the assessment system: the “cost” of two tasks will increase from one initial point to two:



  • task number 3(choice of terms relating to a specific historical period);


  • task number 8(selecting missing expressions from the list of proposed options).

In addition, the wording and evaluation criteria for assignment No. 25 (an essay devoted to one of the historical periods) will be clarified.

Unified State Examination in computer science and ICT in 2017 – without computers, no changes

The structure and technology of conducting the Unified State Examination in computer science and ICT in 2017 will be fully consistent with the 2016 examination model. There is also no talk about the use of computers by examinees - although this idea (taking into account the specifics of the subject - absolutely logical) is actively discussed, this year’s graduates will again have to work with traditional forms.


When preparing for the exam, you should not lose sight of some features of the test materials:


  • task No. 27 is given in two versions, one of which is simpler and is worth 2 points, the second – 4;

  • To write the program in task 27, you can use any programming language of the examinee’s choice.

Unified State Exam in Geography: minor changes in the assessment system

No adjustments will be made to test materials in geography in 2017, but the “weight” of individual tasks will change: the maximum score for four tasks will be increased, and for another four it will be reduced.


Thus, the cost of tasks Nos. 3, 11, 14 and 15 will increase from one primary point to two (all - for identification and selection from a list of correct statements).


The following tasks were reduced from two points to one:



  • 9 (location of the population of Russia, working with a map),


  • 12 (distinguishing between true and false statements about urban and rural populations);


  • 13 (geography of transport, industries and agriculture of Russia);


  • 19 (export and international transport).

The maximum primary score remained unchanged – 47.

Official information about changes in the Unified State Examination 2017

All official documents related to passing the Unified State Exam are promptly published on the website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). There is also a summary table of changes, however, in order to get a complete impression of the “new trends” in the examination company, this is not enough - the information in the table is given very concisely and concerns only fundamental changes.


In order to be aware of all the details of passing the Unified State Exam in 2017 “first-hand”, you can also:



  • get acquainted with the KIM Unified State Exam projects current year and carefully study the structure of the examination paper;


  • study guidelines for teachers, compiled based on the results of 2016 - they analyze in detail the typical mistakes of last year’s graduates and “chew on” and justify the planned changes.
