Passing scores in subjects. Passing score. Minimum certification score

Future graduates, not to mention their worried parents, follow all the changes that the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation generously shower every year with the Unified State Exam. Schoolchildren naturally think about the difficult, but eternal question- what to become? - and, for the most part, they already know the direction in which they will step on the path to the desired profession.

This is extremely important, because, focusing on specialized subjects (future doctors should focus on chemistry and biology, dreaming of becoming translators - on foreign language etc.), boys and girls will be able to get a higher overall score.

When passing the exam, a special place is given to the threshold of knowledge in points of the Unified state examination... It is on the basis of overcoming the minimum score that the USE certificate is issued. We can say that these are USE scores in compulsory subjects that correspond to the mark "satisfactory".

If a student receives a score less than the threshold in subjects to choose from, nothing is added to the certificate. At the moment, every future graduate is interested in minimum USE scores 2017 in all subjects.

Some changes in the Unified State Exam in 2017

Changes in the holding and the USE 2017 itself are almost the most pressing topic for many. Every year, eleventh grade graduates are expected to receive news about some innovations, innovations and corrections of the USE, sometimes not in a positive way.

So, in 2017, a third will be added to the two required exams. In addition to mathematics and Russian, eleventh graders will need to take one more compulsory exam... So far, there is no final decision on what will be the subject chosen for the exam, however, according to unconfirmed reports, it is most likely that it will be history.

According to education officials, and due to the fact that it is in this discipline that students show low knowledge, making history compulsory for delivery would be the best option. Students are expected to take on the basics of this science a little harder.

In addition, even the form of the history exam (if this subject is included in the list of mandatory for the annual assessment of the knowledge of graduates) will be changed: the oral part will become much larger, while the test part of the exam is planned to be significantly reduced.

An oral block will be added to the Russian language exam. This is done to test the communication skills of graduates. Also, changes will affect essays - if earlier a student could get a "pass" or "no pass" for a written essay, then when passing the USE in the Russian language in 2017, they plan to give grades for the final essay.

Provided that the third compulsory subject is history, the students will be offered the following disciplines to choose from, and they will only need to choose one:

• Computer science;
• Chemistry;
• Physics;
• Geography;
• Biology;
• Social Studies;
• Literature;
• Foreign language (English, Spanish, German or French).

Minimum passing USE scores in 2017

Upon admission to the university, all graduates high school are obliged to provide in admissions committee, in addition to the certificate, there is also a certificate with the results of the exam. According to the latest data, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation does not intend to change the USE threshold scores yet.

The minimum scores of the Unified State Exam in all disciplines in 2017 were formed as follows:

• Russian language - 24 points;
• Mathematics, profile level - 27 points (this result is accepted in universities);
• Mathematics basic level - 3 points (this result gives the right to receive a certificate, but is not accepted in universities);
• Physics - 36 points;
• Social studies - 42 points;
• Biology - 36 points;
• Geography - 37 points;
• Chemistry - 36 points;
• Informatics - 40 points;
• Foreign language - 22 points;
• Literature - 32 points.

It is gratifying that the results that a graduate will receive on the exam can be used within three years.

Upon admission, an applicant can be added an additional 10 points for an excellent certificate, special academic achievements (scientific competitions, olympiads, etc.), as well as for high achievements in the field of sports.

It may be interesting for graduates to get acquainted with the statistics of the passing USE scores in all disciplines over the past years.

In case of an unsatisfactory result of the exam, the student has the right to retake the exam twice. Even in the case of overcoming the threshold score, a graduate can take the opportunity to improve his grade in order to gain the required score for admission to the chosen university.

Constantly changing. In 2017, applicants will be faced with several innovations at once. Among them is a special methodology for calculating threshold points for admission. The reform was initiated by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation. In the summer of 2016, the department turned to the Ministry of Education and Science with a proposal to instruct Rosobrnadzor to develop a new scheme for calculating the USE threshold score. Today it does not exist as such, and the minimum points for admission are set based on the results of graduates of the previous year.

In 2017, they will finally develop a methodology for calculating threshold points

Passing points for the exam-2017 on admission

If we trace how the numbers have changed over the entire existence of the Unified State Exam, we can come to the conclusion: the requirements for graduates are becoming stricter from year to year. But officials believe that low scores eleventh graders talk about their inadequate level of knowledge. The head of Rosobrnadzor promised to develop a new assessment methodology by 2017. For now, graduates can only focus on the 2016 standards. To apply for a bachelor's or specialist's degree, you need to score the following points:

• Russian language - 36
• Math - 27
• Informatics - 40
• Biology - 36
• History - 32
• Chemistry - 36
• Foreign languages ​​- 22
• Physics - 36
• Social Studies - 42
• Literature - 32
• Geography - 37

Moreover, each university can set its own threshold points. The more prestigious the establishment, the higher the requirements. So, the average score for admission to a university with high competition is from 70 points for each subject. If your goal is to get a certificate of secondary education, then it is enough to pass the Russian language for 24 points and mathematics of the profile level - for 27 points. Each student can retake the USE twice, even if his score is above the threshold.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about passing score

1. What is a passing grade?

A passing score is the minimum sufficient total score that a entrance examinations the last enrolled applicant. In other words, if there is, for example, 10 budget places for which 20 people apply, who timely submitted the originals of documents to the selection committee, then the passing score will be the total score of the tenth applicant.

2. When will the passing score become known?

The passing score becomes known only after the end of admission to this specialty and the publication of the corresponding orders for admission. In most cases, this is the middle of August. At the same time, if all budget places are filled by applicants before the end of the second wave of enrollment, it will be possible to find out the passing score earlier.

3. Who sets the passing score and can you know about it in advance?

No, you can't, because the passing score is not set by the university's admissions committee or someone else. It is determined by the results of a competitive selection and depends on the total number of points scored by each of the applicants applying for admission.

4. What is the passing score made up of?

In most cases, from the results of 3 USEs, corresponding to the list of entrance examinations for the chosen specialty. Upon admission to some specialties, the results of the 4th Unified State Exam and / or additional exams, which are conducted by the university itself, may also be added to them.

5. Could the passing score be exactly the same as last year?

Yes maybe. Moreover, passing scores of previous years give a fairly objective picture of the level of knowledge of applicants entering a particular specialty. At the same time, the passing score of the current year may differ from those that were before. Moreover, both in one and the other direction.

6. What is the difference between the minimum passing score and the minimum?

The minimum score, in contrast to the passing one, is set by each of the universities independently, and in advance, before the start of recruitment. In fact, minimum score is the cut-off line, overcoming which, the applicant has the right to submit documents to the selection committee of the university of his choice. Naturally, the minimum score is lower than the passing one.

7. Is the passing score of the budgetary form of education different from the paid one?

Yes, it is different. The passing score for the budgetary form of education, as a rule, is significantly higher. Therefore, applicants who did not manage to score the required number of points, in most cases, have a real chance of enrolling in a contractual form of study.

8. What determines the value of the passing score?

By and large, from many factors. Here are just a few of them:
- the level of training of applicants and marks for the exam,
- the popularity of the university,
- the popularity of the specialty,
- the number of budget places and the degree of competition between applicants,
- the number of applicants applying based on the results of the Olympiads, etc.
So it is very difficult to predict the passing score in advance, but it is quite logical to use the passing scores of the past years as a reasonable guide.

Each graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to prepare qualitatively for the Unified State Exam 2018 and score the maximum possible points. What does it mean to “pass the exam well” and how many points will be enough to compete for a budget place in a particular university? This will be discussed in this article.

We will touch on such important issues:

First of all, it is important to understand that there is:

• the minimum score that gives the right to receive a certificate;
• the minimum score that allows you to submit documents to the university;
• the minimum score sufficient for real admission to the budget for a specific specialty at a certain university in Russia.

Naturally, these figures differ significantly.

Minimum certification score

The minimum USE certification scores are set for compulsory subjects- Russian language and mathematics of the basic level and in 2018 are:

Having overcome this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to apply to the university.

Minimum test score

The test minimum is a threshold value that gives the right to enter the university. In other words, persons who have passed the test threshold theoretically have the right to join the struggle for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly ranked universities with minimal indicators.

In 2018, in all subjects, except for the Russian language and basic mathematics test minimum USE scores coincide with certification and are:

The principle of calculating the success of the unified state examination assumes that the subject must demonstrate a high, medium or sufficient level of knowledge corresponding to the marks "5", "4" and "3" in the school scale.

In the case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing for a point that the examinee himself considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to transfer passing the exam.

Minimum score for admission to the budget

Most universities announce the threshold score required for applicants for a budget place. This allows each applicant to realistically assess the prospects for admission and choose universities and specialties, taking into account the points scored on the exam.

In 2018, you can be guided by the fact that last season the average passing scores for all subjects of the exam among applicants admitted to MGIMO and other highly ranked universities in the capital, fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for the majority of regional universities of the Russian Federation, a competitive result can already be considered 65-75 points.

Converting the primary score to the resulting score

By completing the tasks offered in the exam ticket, the examinee gains the so-called primary points, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When assessing the level of knowledge, such primary points are converted into resulting ones, which are recorded in the certificate and are basic upon admission.

Using an online calculator, you can compare primary and test scores for subjects of interest.

Just like last year, in 2018, the recruited USE scores affect the score of the certificate and, although the table of comparison of the test score and traditional grades is not officially accepted, you can roughly compare your scores right now using a universal calculator.

Passing points of the top 10 universities in Russia

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties at the same university may vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants admitted to the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a kind of benchmark for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.

The minimum passing score is influenced by many factors, including:

1. the total number of graduates who submitted applications and the points indicated on their certificates;
2. the number of applicants who submitted original documents;
3. the number of beneficiaries.

So, having seen your surname at the 20th place in the list of specialties, which provides for 40 budget places, you can confidently consider yourself a student. But, even if you find yourself on this list of 45, there is no reason to be upset if there are 5-10 people among those standing in front of you who have provided copies of documents, because most likely these people are tuned in to another university and have applied for this specialty as a fallback ...

Budgeting in 2018 is another challenge. There is a lot of information on the Internet on this issue, it is located on the websites of universities and other official sources. To help you figure it out, we have collected all the data in one article. In front of you step-by-step instruction, which will help you assess your chances of free training.

In Russia, the state pays for about 50% of places in universities

Step 1. Examining how many free places there are

Each state university is obliged to allocate places for budgetary basis... The number of places in a free department depends on the popularity of the faculty and specialty. And get budget higher education it is possible not only in Moscow universities. In some, the number of free places reaches 1.5-2 thousand. For example, in Belgorod, Voronezh, Volgograd, Kirov, Rostov-on-Don, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk and other Russian cities.

Step 2. Understanding in terms

Consider the concepts, without which it is difficult to assess your chances of admission:

• the minimum threshold for USE scores;
• the minimum number of points for admission;
• passing score to universities.

What is a threshold score?

To get a certificate, you need to score a certain number of points in each subject. This is how it was in 2017:

• Russian language - 36 points;
• mathematics - 27 points;
• social studies - 42 points;
• informatics - 40 points;
• foreign language - 22 points.

For example, you have chosen to surrender USE foreign language, then you need to score 36 points in Russian, 27 in mathematics and 22 in a foreign language - only 85 points. In theory, this is enough to apply to the university. But in practice, this is very little to enter the free department.

What is the minimum score?

Each university sets its own minimum USE score for admission. Many technical educational establishments not ready to accept those who scored less than 50 points in mathematics. Humanities - put forward increased requirements for languages.

What is a passing score

The passing score depends on the results of the USE applicants were enrolled in last year. Especially important is the result of the last lucky person who entered the budget with the minimum number of points.

Example. 200 people wanted to enter, but there were 50 budget places. The student's score with the lowest result is considered to be the pass. For example, with 150 points, while the rest had a higher score.

Average USE score in 2017 - 68.2

Step 3. Choosing a university according to the passing score

If you can estimate how much you will get on the exam, then it's time to select a suitable university. By the way, mock exams help you assess your chances well.

All universities with free places, they are also called budgetary institutions higher education, for convenience, we will divide into three categories:

• the most demanded, or top ones;
• medium;
• unpopular.

Usually top universities put forward higher requirements, while others lower the bar in order to attract applicants. Let's take a look at the passing scores of universities in all three categories in 2017.

If your GPA is above 85: passing scores in high-demand universities

Output... For admission to top universities, the average USE score must be above 80-85. It’s difficult to be among such excellent students, don’t you agree? If you are unsure of good results, consider a less demanding institution.

If your GPA is between 65 and 80: passing scores at secondary universities

Output... With an average USE score of 65-80 in 2017, it was possible to enroll in budgetary and leading regional universities.

If your GPA is 55-65: passing scores at unpopular universities

Output.If you get less than 65 points, don't panic. Passing scores in many regional universities are below this level. And today you can get a good higher education not only in the capitals.

Step 4. Assess your chances by the number of points

280-300 points- the best universities in the country, any specialty.

200-250 points- popular universities, specialties: linguistics, foreign language, law, economics, management, healthcare, mathematics, physics.

200 credits- secondary universities, specialties: informatics and computer technology, pedagogy, chemistry and biotechnology, automation and control, electrical engineering, energy. Or leading regional universities, any specialty.

150-200 points- secondary universities, specialties: geology, ecology, vehicles, agriculture and fisheries. Or unpopular universities, any specialties.

Less than 150 points- unpopular universities, some specialties.

Sometimes, even with a high score, you can not get into the cherished twenty, but with a low one, by a lucky chance, you can enter the desired university. The main thing is to take every chance and do not forget about fallbacks.
