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.

Changes in the exam occur every year, but most of them are not of fundamental importance. The order of tasks is changing, some of them become more complicated, some are simplified ... But the new criteria for assessing task No. 27 in the Russian language (essay on the text) put forward fundamentally new requirements for the preparation of graduates. And the composition is, by the way, 24 out of 58 primary points, or 41 out of 100 test!
How have writing requirements changed? Can you write it yourself with the new criteria in mind? Understanding!
Arguments are now optional
Any mother whose child has graduated from high school in the last few years knows how important "literary argument" is in writing. If you have not yet been interested in this topic, let us briefly retell the essence of the problem: writing is the most difficult and “expensive” USE task for 11-graders in the Russian language. It is written according to a small passage of text, which is given right there, in the text of the assignment.
” The essay was evaluated according to a number of criteria, among which one of the main ones was the ability to confirm or refute the author's point of view on the problem, using the so-called "literary argument" - an example from fiction, journalistic or even popular science literature.
Although the texts that will be used in the USE remained a secret until the very last moment, the main topics are known in advance and have not changed for several years. Therefore, tutors and preparation courses for the Unified State Examination (and schools, what is there) offered schoolchildren to memorize examples from the “bank of arguments”: love - “Eugene Onegin”, man and nature - “Farewell to Matyora”, the role of art in life - “Letters about the good and the beautiful ”by Dmitry Likhachev ... As a result, the essays of graduates, written in the most honest way, sometimes resembled each other like two drops of water. Without delving into the intricacies of the problems of the text under discussion, they pulled on it memorized "arguments from the bank" like an owl on a globe. It turned out, to put it mildly, not very well.
We decided to get acquainted with the “banks of arguments” popular on the Internet and, frankly, were horrified by their straightforward primitiveness.
Problem: the search for the meaning of life in the modern world. In the story of I.A. Bunin "The Gentleman from San Francisco", the American millionaire served the "golden calf". The main character believed that the meaning of life lies in the accumulation of wealth. When the Master died, it turned out that true happiness passed him by.
Problem: the inner beauty of a person. Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince" The wise thoughts of the Little Prince can teach even an adult a lot. Our hero said: “Only the heart is vigilant. You can’t see the most important thing with your eyes.” And we can say without a doubt that he is right. True beauty is inside a person, in his soul, in his right deeds.
Problem: respect for nature. The hero of the poem N.A. Nekrasov "Grandfather Mazai and Hares" during the spring flood saves drowning hares, collects them in a boat, cures two sick ones. The forest is a home for him, and Grandfather Mazay takes care of those who live in it, protects them. Such an attitude is a lesson in love for nature, careful and reasonable love.
In 2019, the position regarding the composition is fundamentally changing. The emphasis shifts to understanding the text under discussion. In 2018, it was necessary to find a problem in the submitted text; comment on it, giving at least two examples from the text. Now we need to explain why these fragments were chosen and show the relationship between them.
” If earlier for this action three primary points were supposed, now - as many as five.
In 2018, their attitude to the problem had to be supported by at least two arguments, and one of them had to be taken from fiction, journalistic or scientific literature. Now it does not matter how exactly the graduate will confirm his point of view, the main thing is persuasiveness.
” Previously, you could get three points for arguing your opinion, but now - only 1.
This does not mean that a graduate cannot appeal to the authority of literary classics, it is just that now it is not necessary.
Without arguments - good or bad?
Strictly speaking, the Russian language and literature are different subjects. Literary argumentation, of course, demonstrated such an important virtue of a student as being well-read. But an exam in Russian should reveal completely different qualities: the ability to understand the text, isolate its essence, formulate a problem and maintain a dialogue.
” If you think sensibly, these are the skills that are mandatory for any citizen, no matter what professional path he chooses (after all, the results of an exam in Russian, unlike mathematics, are taken into account when entering any university, for any specialty). And whether the future dentist or heat engineer Likhachev read, or did not read, this, by and large, is not a matter of principle.
If an exam in Russian had, like an exam in mathematics, two levels - basic and profile, many "techies" would probably prefer to pass the base. But, since such an option was not offered, and each point for Russian upon admission was on the account, “banks of arguments” and catalogs of essays were born.
And now the situation has turned not 180 degrees, but, let's say, 90. At the heart of the essay is not erudition, but the accuracy of understanding the text and the persuasiveness of reasoning. Will the exam be easier? By no means! It is enough to study the methodological recommendations of the Federal Institute for Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI), prepared on the basis of an analysis of typical mistakes of USE participants in 2018, to understand: it was the comment on the main problem of the text that became a stumbling block for many graduates:
Statistics on the performance of the work as a whole and of individual tasks makes it possible to identify the main problems in the preparation of examinees in the Russian language. As in previous years, the sections of the course related to the formation of communicative competence remain insufficiently learned. Insufficiently developed skills of analytical work with the word and text, the lack of the necessary practice of analyzing linguistic phenomena also affect the quality of writing an essay-reasoning. The task with a detailed answer (26) demonstrated the most common errors associated with the information processing of the text and the presentation of one's own thoughts about what was read.
According to criterion K2 (commenting on the designated problem of the source text), only 47.5% of graduates received 3 points; 2 points 32%; 1 point 13.8%. The level of formation of the ability to conduct text analysis among graduates is still not high enough.
On the one hand, in essays, graduates substantiate the relevance of the problem, reveal its significance for the author of the text, and focus on textual details illustrating the problem. On the other hand, examinees often delve into their own reflections without relying on the source text or simply use it as a paraphrase. Many graduates do not consider it necessary to include two obligatory illustration examples in their essays, which are important for understanding the problem of the source text.
What should we ... write an essay!
Probably, many of our readers are now somewhat confused. Is it difficult to see the problem in the text? It seems to be quite easy, right? How about two supporting examples? And the relationship between them? Well, try your hand at the demo version of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language - 2019. An excerpt from the story "Scarecrow" by the writer Nikolai Leskov will be used as a text for discussion there. We put the text under the spoiler.
Text from the demo version of the USE-2019
My father and the police chief were amazed that we had to spend the night in the house of Selivan, whom everyone in the neighborhood considered a sorcerer and robber and who, as we thought, wanted to kill us and take advantage of our things and money ...
By the way, about money. At the mention of them, the aunt immediately exclaimed:
Oh my god! Where is my box?
Indeed, where is this box and the thousands lying in it? She, imagine that she was not! Yes, yes, she alone was not in the rooms between the things brought in, nor in the wagon - in a word, nowhere ... The casket, obviously, remained there, in the inn, and now - in the hands of Selivan ...
I'm jumping now, jumping there ... He must have already disappeared somewhere, but he won't leave me! - said the police officer. - Our happiness is that everyone knows that he is a thief, and everyone does not like him: no one will hide him ...
But as soon as the police officer girded himself with his saber, suddenly an unusual movement was heard in the hall between the people who were there, and through the threshold into the hall where we all were, breathing heavily, Selivan entered with aunt's casket in his hands.
Everyone jumped up from their seats and stopped in their tracks.
Forgotten, take it, - Selivan said dully.
He could not say anything more, because he was completely out of breath from the exorbitant rapid walk and, probably, from strong inner excitement.
He put the casket on the table, and, unbidden by anyone, he sat down on a chair and lowered his head and hands.
The box was in perfect condition. Auntie took the key from her neck, unlocked it, and exclaimed:
Everything, everything as it was!
Safely... - quietly said Selivan. - I kept running after you... I wanted to catch up... Forgive me for sitting in front of you... I suffocated.
His father approached him first, hugged him and kissed him on the head.
Selivan did not move.
Auntie took out two hundred-dollar bills from the box and began to give them to him.
Selivan continued to sit and watch, as if he did not understand anything.
Take what they give you,” said the police officer.
For what? No need!
For the fact that you honestly saved and brought the money you forgot.
But how? Should it be dishonest?
Well, you're... a good person... you didn't think to hide someone else's.
And he got up to go back to his defiled courtyard, but his father did not let him in: he took him to his office and locked himself in there with a key, and then an hour later ordered the sledge to be harnessed and taken home.
A day later, this incident was known in the city and in the district, and two days later the father and aunt went to Kromy and, stopping at Selivan, drank tea in his hut and left his wife a warm fur coat. On the way back, they again called on him and brought him more gifts: tea, sugar and flour.
He took everything politely, but reluctantly, and said:
For what? Now, for three days now, everyone has begun to come to me... Income has gone... They cooked cabbage soup... They are not afraid of us, as they used to be afraid.
When I was taken to the boarding house after the holidays, I again had a parcel with Selivan, and I drank tea with him and kept looking at his face and thinking: “What a beautiful, kind face he has! Why did he seem like a scarecrow to me and others for so long?
This thought haunted me and did not leave me alone ... After all, this is the same person who seemed so terrible to everyone, whom everyone considered a sorcerer and a villain. Why did he suddenly become so good and pleasant?
In the later years of my life, I became close to Selivan and had the good fortune to see him become a beloved and revered person by everyone.
If you could not formulate the problem, here are some tips for you, or rather, the correct answers from FIPI. So, the following problems are posed in the text (under the spoiler).
Problems of the text from the demo USE-2019
- The problem of rejection of a person by society.
- The problem of creating a reputation, forming an opinion about a person.
- The problem of manifestation of the inner beauty of a person.
- The problem of trust in a person.
- The issue of honesty.
- The problem of gratitude.
Well, how did you define the problem? Now you need to find two illustration examples from the text for it, explain the importance of each example and indicate the relationship between them. Now that you have demonstrated understanding of the problem, you need to formulate the position of the author (narrator) in relation to it. And now you can express your position in relation to the position of the author (this is so intricately). So you've all done it. How many initial points will you receive?
- Definition and formulation of the problem (one of those that FIPI specialists saw in the text) - 1 point.
A little, but without it, nowhere. If you make a mistake here, then everything that follows will also be wrong.
They gave two examples from the text illustrating the problem and showed the relationship between them - the most expensive part of the answer, 5 points.
That's all, you can get another 16 points for the essay for style, punctuation and spelling.
Good luck passing the exam to all graduates and ... their mothers!
Prepared by Irina Ilyina
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.

Converting USE scores to grades
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:
- Ucheba.ru
- Apply online
- HSE calculator
- Postyplenie.ru
- Typical entrant
Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.
Below is a scale for translating the primary scores of the profile USE in mathematics in 2019:
- The primary score obtained is converted into a test score. Each task of the test part "costs" 1 point. Writing tasks - from 2 to 4 points
- To pass the threshold for the profile USE, you need to solve at least 6 tasks, that is, score 6 primary or 27 test points.
Moreover, you can see that the first part is very "expensive" in terms of points, for one task of the first part you can get 1 raw point, which is recoded into 5 or 6 test points!
- If you solve all the problems of the first part correctly, you can type 62 points.
- If you solve the entire first part, numbers 13, 15 and 17 (most often these numbers are solved by those who have a solid “5” at school), then you can dial 80 points.
Download the USE CHECKLIST in Mathematics for free! Preparation algorithm, literature, useful links, USE score scale.
- Further points can be taken on geometry (No. 14, 16), parameters (No. 18) or number theory (No. 19). If you decided, for example, No. 14, took a couple of points for No. 19, having decided a) and b) - this is already 88 points.
- So to dial above 80 points need to be able to solve problems on at least one of these topics or several:
- options,
— planimetry,
- stereometry,
For example, you solved 12 problems, but made a mistake in one, as a result you get 11 primary and 56 test points, and could get 62 points (!), if they had not made a mistake in some number, it could have even been the simplest number 1. If you make a mistake again, you will get 50 points for the first part. A score for the simplest task No. 1 "weighs" as much as one point for complex planimetry No. 16, the computer does not care where you scored it. The main strategy is to be attentive in the first part.
USE Examination Plan in Mathematics
The work is designed for 3 hours 55 minutes. If you plan to complete tasks of a high level of complexity under numbers 18-19, then the first part No. 1-12 should take you no more than 30 minutes.
Good luck to everyone on the exam!
On this page you will find a scale for converting exam scores into grades in all subjects. It is also possible to find out when the results of the exam will be known. In addition, you may be interested in who checks the exam forms and how.

USE Score Transfer Scale 2014
USE score conversion formula
The scale for converting primary USE scores into test scores is shown in the table. YOU can also calculate your score using the formula below.
where t is the USE test score on a 100-point system that goes into the USE certificate, 0 is the primary score of the person who passed the USE, 0 min is the score corresponding to one primary score, 0max is the score corresponding to the primary score, one less than the maximum possible. Round the result to an integer. Zero primary score corresponds to 0 points for the USE, and the maximum primary score corresponds to 100 points for the USE.
