For many, the OGE is the first serious test, but why is it necessary? The main state exam is needed to assess the student’s knowledge over the past nine years of study, this is clear to everyone. Good results in passing this exam are a guarantee for admission to a specialized tenth grade, technical school, college or other secondary specialized educational institution.

The system of passing such exams is no longer new, but the translation of OGE scores into conventional grades still raises many questions. The article will help you figure out what grades will allow you to successfully pass the exam and enter specialized institutions.

State certification

It is the introduction to educational OGE system and the Unified State Exam made it possible to abolish entrance exams to universities and technical schools. The entire system is based on a single scale for converting Unified State Examination points, thanks to which the final grade is obtained. But how do you figure it out?

Educational institutions set their own OGE passing score for admission to various areas of study. If the student’s score exceeds the passing level established by the institution, the applicant will be enrolled as a student.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation establishes certain gradations for applicants, therefore the Main State Exam is conducted in accordance with the established requirements.

A passing OGE score makes it possible to understand whether the student was able to pass the certification or failed the exam, whether the student has mastered the theoretical minimum of the school course or whether he will have to re-take the course in 9th grade. In turn, the passing threshold for the OGE, established by a secondary specialized educational institution, makes it possible to determine whether the applicant will be enrolled in the ranks of students of this institution.

A little history

Exams in the form of the Unified State Examination and the Unified State Examination have long become familiar to Russian schoolchildren. However, their form, rules and conditions are periodically changed and adjusted. Graduate students, in order not to inadvertently miss important innovations, have to constantly monitor information about updates in the system.

The exam in the form of the Unified State Exam was first held for eleventh grades in 2001. But at that time, the experiment was carried out only in five areas and only in eight disciplines. By 2008, exams in this form began to be held throughout the country and in almost all subjects.

Transition to tenth grade

To further continue your studies at school, you also need to pass the OGE. To move to tenth grade, a student will have to pass two compulsory subjects (Russian language and mathematics), and in addition to them, two additional ones to choose from. And if last year it was allowed to limit oneself to only two academic disciplines, then this year a ninth-grader must pass four exams.

To enter classes with one or another educational focus, you will need to prepare for certification in the main subject of the profile. For example, those entering the tenth grade with a legal background are forced to take an exam in social studies and history, with a linguistic background - a foreign language, and so on.

The modern education system gives every right to undergo certification in almost any discipline mastered during the period of study. By the way, deciding on a major for graduates is often difficult. This is where difficulties arise with choosing special items.

Admission to technical school

The passing OGE score for admission to a technical school is calculated in the same way. Two main subjects are required - Russian language and mathematics. In that academic year they added two more mandatory exams in disciplines that applicants can choose independently. Those entering technical schools for economic specialties additionally take social studies, and the medical field - chemistry and biology.

There is also the possibility of admission to technical schools for those who did not pass Unified State Examination after eleventh grade. In this case, enrollment is based on the results OGE exam and, as a rule, immediately into the second year of study.

Eleventh grade graduates upon admission to a technical school are usually accepted immediately into the second year, because the first year of secondary specialized education, as a rule, is devoted exclusively to school programs.

How are points calculated?

The main state exam is mandatory for everyone, but not everyone knows how to correctly calculate their results. The passing OGE score for admission is a certain criterion of knowledge and a guideline in the student’s aspirations.

The minimum criteria for passing the exam are approved for each year. Based on them, a system is established for converting points into the usual marks on a five-point scale. However, they play a role in deciding whether a student has passed the exam, but not in admission. To admit a student, the technical school admissions committee takes into account the passing or average passing grade.

How to calculate the OGE score?

Each educational institution sets its own lower grade thresholds for admitting students. As a rule, the arithmetic average of the certificate grades and (or) the total result of the OGE is taken as the basis. Depending on the maximum indicator approved in the current year, the minimum passing score for admission is set.

Converting OGE points into grades

The school converts the final indicator into a grade on an approved scale. The result obtained affects the grade in the student’s certificate. This translation is of a recommendatory nature. The following data was approved for 2017:

1. The minimum OGE score, that is, the maximum score for passing the Russian language exam, is 15, the maximum is 39.

A student will receive a mark of “two” if he scores only 14 points or less. “satisfactory” starts from 15, “good” - from 25 and “excellent” - from 34. Despite the fact that to get a B, you need to score at least 4 points for literacy and at least 6 to earn an A.

2. OGE in mathematics. The passing score for passing this exam is 8. To get a C in this discipline, you must score at least 3 points in algebra and 2 points in geometry and real mathematics.

The maximum possible score for this exam is 32 points, which includes 14, 11 and 7 points in Algebra, Geometry and Real Mathematics respectively.

Starting from the minimum passing threshold and up to 14 - the score is “three”, from 15 points scored and up to 21 - “four”, and 22-32 - “excellent”.

When entering specialized institutions, applicants whose score is at least 18 are considered.

3. In physics, you can score a maximum of 40 points. A well-deserved three is at least 10. To earn a four, you need to score at least 20, and for a five - from 31 points.

4. The maximum result of the chemistry exam is 34. A grade of three is guaranteed for nine points scored, a grade of “four” for 18-26, and a grade of “five” for 27 and above.

23 points is the minimum for applicants to specialized institutions.

In addition, the chemistry exam includes a part with a real experiment, which is also scored. The maximum result in this part of the exam is 38, the passing threshold is 9. For an “excellent” mark, you need to score 29 points, and for a “B”, from 19 to 28 is enough. The acceptable minimum is 25 points.

5. When preparing to take biology, a student should know that the passing grade for a technical school is 33 points. A graduate who scores from 13 to 25 points on the relevant exam will receive a three, and a five - from 37 to 46.

6. The minimum for geography is 12 points, but this will not be enough for admission to specialized institutions. In this case, the passing score of the OGE must be at least 24. To pass with “excellent” means scoring from 27 to 32, and with “good” - from 20 to 26.

7. For the social studies exam, the following translation is used:

• 15-24 - “satisfactory”;
• 25-33 - “good”;
• 24-39 - “excellent”.

30 points is the minimum for those who have chosen to study in this area.

8. Prospective students who have chosen history as their major discipline must score 32 points for admission. For everyone else, the history grade is determined according to the following scheme:

• 13-23 - “three”;
• 24-34 - “four”;
• 35-44 - "five".

9. To get a C for a literature exam, it is enough to score from 7 to 13 points, 14-18 for a B and at least 19 for an “excellent” grade. Only applicants who score at least 15 are considered to continue their studies in the field.

10. The computer science exam is graded in the range from 5 to 22 points, where up to 11 inclusive is a three, up to 17 inclusive is a four, respectively 18-22 is a grade of five.

11. Foreign language exam (can be French, Spanish, English and German) - the most extensive. The maximum possible score for it is 70. The minimum threshold is 28. In addition:

• 29-45 - rating "three"
• 46-58 - rating "four"
• 59-70 - rating "five".

The minimum score for applicants in the field is 56.

How to calculate the passing score for the OGE?

Everything is simple here too. It is enough to know the approved standards for converting points into grades and your results.

Upon admission, as a rule, two indicators are formed from OGE scores and grades. The first is the average score of the certificate grades. It is calculated as an arithmetic mean, that is, the sum of all grades is divided by the number of items. The second indicator is the overall result of passing the state exam, that is, the sum of all points scored. More often it is given as a percentage, which is calculated from the total maximum result.

A reasonable question arises: does the OGE affect the grades on the certificate? Yes, it does. The grade obtained based on the exam results is summed with the annual grade received and divided by two. When rounding, elementary laws of mathematics apply. Thus, if the annual grade in the subject is “four”, and the exam is passed with “five”, then the arithmetic mean will be 4.5, which, in turn, should be rounded to five. The graduate's certificate will show "excellent".

Unified State Exam

How many points do you need to score on the Unified State Exam?

The evaluation system of the Unified State Exam does not differ from the evaluation system of the OGE. The minimum passing threshold is set by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and institutions themselves formulate selection criteria, including how many points you need to score on the Unified State Exam for admission. Consequently, whether there are enough points for a C grade is decided by the state, and whether it is enough for admission is decided by educational institutions.

Validity period for exam results

All exams have a period during which their results will be valid. For students taking the Unified State Exam in 2017, this period will be limited to four years. Thus, the points received are valid until May 2021.

If you do not have time to submit documents for the next four years, you will have to take the exam again to be admitted. The validity periods for the results of the Unified State Exam are the same as for the Unified State Exam. Good luck to everyone passing the exams!

After checking the USE tasks in mathematics, a primary score is assigned for their completion:

• For basic level in mathematics – from 0 to 20;
• For a specialized level in mathematics – from 0 to 30.

Each task is worth a certain number of points: the more difficult the task, the more points you can get for it. For correct completion of each task in the Unified State Examination in basic level mathematics, 1 point is given. For correct completion of tasks in the Unified State Examination in mathematics at a specialized level, 1 to 4 points are given depending on the complexity of the task.

After this, the primary score is converted into a test score, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate. This score is used for admission to higher education institutions. Transfer of Unified State Examination points carried out using a special point scale. The Unified State Exam score in basic level mathematics is not needed for admission, so it is not converted into a test score and is not indicated on the Unified State Exam certificate.

Also, based on the Unified State Exam score, you can determine the approximate grade on a five-point scale that a student would receive for completing tasks in the exam.

Below is scale for converting Unified State Exam scores in mathematics for basic and profile levels: raw scores, test scores and rough score.

Unified State Exam score conversion scale: basic level mathematics

The minimum test score for admission to higher education institutions is 27.

The scales for converting primary scores into marks on a five-point scale for conducting the OGE, developed by specialists of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "FIPI", are of a RECOMMENDATIONAL NATURE. Used in a specific subject Russian Federation the system for converting primary OGE scores into a five-point scale is adopted by the regional ministry/department/committee... of education.

Social science

How many points you need to score in social studies on the OGE in order to get a particular grade (passing score for specialized classes) can be found in the document provided from the FIPI website

Maximum score which an examinee can receive for completing the entire examination work is 39 points. With criteria OGE assessments in social studies can be found in a demo version published on the FIPI website.

Minimum OGE score to obtain a satisfactory result in social studies - 15.

FIPI recommendations - tables for converting primary scores into grades in all subjects

A system for assessing the performance of individual tasks and the examination work as a whole.

Correctly completed work is scored 39 points.

Each correctly completed task 1–21, 23–25 is scored 1 point.

Task 22 is scored according to the following principle: 2 points – no errors; 1 point – one mistake was made; 0 points – two or more mistakes were made.

Part 2 tasks are graded depending on the completeness and correctness of the answer. For complete and correct completion of tasks 26–28, 30 and 31, 2 points are awarded. If the answer is incomplete – 1 point.

For complete and correct completion of task 29, 3 points are awarded. In case of incomplete completion, depending on the representation of the required components of the answer - 2 or 1 point.

Thus, for completing the tasks of Part 2 (correct and complete formulation of answers to all six questions), the examinee can receive a maximum of 13 points.

The Unified State Exam is a very serious and responsible test for all graduates. It is the results that directly determine whether an applicant can apply for a place at a university.

Due to the fact that the Unified State Examination system is relatively new, its conditions are constantly changing. One of the most important issues is the minimum scores.

They determine how much knowledge a student must have to obtain a certificate and further admission to a higher education institution.

Entering a university is one of the most important goals for teenagers. Therefore, most schoolchildren begin to prepare for the exam a long time in advance. Preparation includes a very serious process of repeating topics already studied and learning new ones.

However, in addition to this, you need to monitor changes in the conditions of the Unified State Examination and the requirements for applicants. Analysis of last year's exams will make it possible not only to understand how well you can pass a particular subject, but also to decide on the specialty and university where you can realistically enroll.

And one of the most important parameters that you need to know for successful admission is the minimum scores.

How many points do you need to get to get a certificate?

The Unified State Exam is a mandatory event, regardless of whether the student plans to enroll anywhere in the future. You must pass the exam at least in order to receive a certificate. The Ministry of Education and Science does not require high grades from students to obtain this document.

You just need to pass two - Russian language and basic mathematics. In Russian you need to score at least 24 points, in mathematics - 23.

With these scores, the teenager will officially receive secondary education. However, he shouldn’t count on more - no university will accept documents with such scores.

How many points do you need to get to enter a university?

This category of minimum scores already entitles the applicant to apply to higher educational institutions and participate in the competition for a place. How high a student’s rating will be depends on the number of his points and the competition in the chosen specialty.

From year to year these figures change only slightly, so the level of knowledge required of students remains approximately the same.

Thus, in 2018 the following standards apply:

• when taking the Russian language test, you need to score at least 36 points;
• upon passing the basic or specialized mathematics– 27 points;
• when passing physics – 36 points;
• when passing chemistry – 36 points;
• when passing social studies – 42 points;
• when passing literature – 32 points;
• when passing history – 29 points;
• when passing a foreign language, the minimum score will be 22;

• in geography you need to score at least 40 points;
• in biology – 36 points;
• in computer science – 40 points.

Having collected the required number of points in the selected subjects, the student can safely apply to universities for the chosen specialties. However, this is far from an indication that admission will be simple.

With minimal scores, the chance to enter a good educational institution or get a place in a sought-after specialty is a very difficult task. Due to competition, an applicant may simply not pass the competitive selection based on points.

It will also be difficult to enter on a budget. To do this, you will have to submit documents to the least rated universities, while choosing specialties that are not currently prestigious.

Therefore, it is necessary to balance your strengths with your ambitions. It is better to think through several options in advance, including in the list both a good university and a spare one, where it will be easier to enroll.

How many points do you need to score to be admitted to the budget?

The situation with budget revenues is not so clear. Firstly, a lot of the admissions process for each university is decided by competition.

Secondly, each higher education institution indicates the minimum points that must be scored in each subject to receive budget place in one specialty or another.

The minimum scores are determined by the specialty - each of them has its own specialized subject, which upon admission you need to know better than the others.

Naturally, prestigious educational institutions that are in great demand require very high Unified State Exam scores from applicants. To enter them on a budget, you need to have more than 80 points in relevant disciplines.

• In the Russian language you need to score around 45-70 points to qualify for the budget. Prestigious universities raise this bar and require 75 in some specialties.
• Mathematics must be passed with at least 45-65 points. In-demand educational institutions consider students with scores above 65 points.
• Biology must be passed with 45-75 points. In ranking universities you need to have at least 80 points.
• In social studies you need to score from 45 to 70 points. Ranking universities may require a score of 75 points or more.
• History must be passed with a score of 45 to 75 points. Educational institutions in the capital will consider documents with a score of 75 points or more.
• By foreign languages Universities expect results in the region of 55-80 points. Over 80 points may be the minimum for prestigious institutions.
• The following standards apply for physics: 45-65 for a regular university and from 65 for a prestigious one.
• Chemistry for a budget place must be passed with 45-80 points. To qualify for a rating institution, you need to earn at least 81 points.
