How long does the Unified State Exam take for the Russian language? Distribution of time for the exam. How long will the Unified State Exam last and what can be taken for it?

What requirements are put forward for examinees, and what changes is the Ministry of Education and Science making to the unified exam in 2018? Let’s try to understand in more detail what you can expect from the Unified State Exam 2018 and what needs to be “pulled up” to successfully pass it.

The winter holidays have come to an end, and school graduates are actively preparing for one of the most important stages of their entire school education - passing the Unified State Exam.

In our country Unified State Exam has been a mandatory centralized test for schoolchildren since 2009. It serves as the final examination for obtaining a certificate and the entrance examination for admission to higher educational institutions of the country at the same time.

How will the Unified State Examination 2018 change?

During its existence, the procedure for passing the Unified State Exam "" has undergone many changes and the introduction of a variety of innovations. However, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who listens to the opinions of experts, the system is still not perfect, so it needs further measures aimed at eliminating existing shortcomings. However, he notes that the presence of a single standard provides the most objective assessment of effectiveness school education and provides opportunities for applicants from the regions.

According to the Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva, no significant changes are expected in the Unified State Examination this year. Schoolchildren will continue to take mandatory exams in the Russian language and mathematics. The introduction of an oral exam in the Russian language cannot be called a serious change, since this year it will be held only in some schools, as a test.

Let us note that the department considers rumors about the inclusion of a foreign language and history among the compulsory subjects for passing the Unified State Exam to be premature. According to available data, Russian history will be added to the list of compulsory subjects only in 2020, and students will take a foreign language starting in 2022.

This year the exam technology will change completely. Unlike previous years, forms and test materials will now be presented in digital format. Schoolchildren and graduates of previous years taking the exam will be able to personally see the process of printing assignments right in the classroom. Upon completion of work, their forms will be scanned and sent for verification using secure communication channels.

Certain changes will be made to exam tasks (both compulsory and elective subjects). It is noted that test questions and questions with one correct answer will be almost completely excluded from the tests. Some subjects, such as biology and physics, will have additional sets of questions, while others will have their maximum score revised.

Terms and conditions for submitting an application and procedure for taking exams

The Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science notes that everyone who wants to take exams in 2018 must submit a corresponding application indicating the disciplines before February 1. Questions regarding extension of the deadline for accepting documents are not currently being considered. But, as the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergei Kravtsov said, this possibility will be discussed as part of improving the system for the next academic year.

If everything is extremely clear with the Russian language and mathematics, then with elective subjects things are somewhat more complicated. Already now, each graduate must accurately determine which disciplines he will have to pass, based on his further specialty. The subjects considered as entrance examinations are indicated on the websites of the selected universities, but it is noted that the number of subjects that can be indicated in the application is unlimited.

Places of registration for the Unified State Exam for graduates of previous years who wish to apply are approved by regional educational authorities, and those graduating this year must register at their place of study.

Main stage Unified State Exam 2018 will take place from May 28 to July 2. For those participants who, for good reasons, cannot take the exams together with the main group and only by providing the relevant documents, there is the opportunity to take the tests ahead of schedule - from March 21 to April 11. Naturally, this is only possible if you successfully complete the school curriculum by the deadline.

The additional stage will take place in September, from the 4th to the 15th. During this period, as well as on the reserve days of the main stage, participants who scored low points will be allowed to retake the Russian language and mathematics. But in case of failure in elective subjects, a repeat exam can only be taken next year.

How to achieve high results?

The results of this year’s Unified State Examination can significantly affect graduates’ grades in the certificate, so you should think about how to increase the level of knowledge and achieve maximum results.

According to statistics, only half a percent of graduates show 100 percent results on Russian language exams, and another 25% receive high scores. Why such a low result? According to experts, this is due to the fact that:

Schoolchildren lack skills in writing argumentative essays, in which they most often make punctuation and spelling errors.
There are no phraseological units in the works of high school students that could bring them additional points.

Among the very common mistakes, experts also note the spelling of unstressed vowels at the root of the word, and although teachers repeat these rules to their students more than once, they still need to practice.

Things are even worse with mathematics. Despite the fact that 45% of examinees successfully pass the basic level, it is necessary to understand that it is much simpler than the profile level, the results of which are much lower than in the Russian language. Schoolchildren have big problems when solving problems in geometry, especially in the section of stereometry. Practice has shown that you can achieve high results in the exam if:

repeat the topic "Interest"
solve economic problems,
learn to determine the area of figures on squared paper.

History and social studies are very popular among elective subjects. However, the percentage of high-scoring students in these subjects leaves much to be desired. In the case of history Unified State Exam participants There are gaps in the chronology of events, and there are often problems with reading maps. And in social studies, many people are good at the topics “Law”, “Economics” and “Man and Society”. But they have a very vague idea about “Politics”.

In general, according to Ms., the ministry is continuously working to create a unified educational space, which will soon make it possible to improve the quality of education for children and provide the necessary basis for successfully passing the Unified State Exam. Innovations will await graduates next year, but for now it is necessary to accumulate all the energy to obtain the maximum result.

The Unified State Exam is a standardized form of final testing for students of secondary schools. A number of such exams, for example, Russian language and mathematics, are compulsory, while from other subjects the student can independently choose to take those that are familiar to him better than others.

Despite the generally standard form of the examination, the details of its organization vary somewhat from year to year. The review of these details is the responsibility of Rosobrnadzor, which analyzes the results of tests conducted in previous years and clarifies the procedure for conducting them next year in order to provide students with exam conditions that allow them to demonstrate the knowledge acquired over the years of study to the maximum. In each specific year, the rules for conducting the Unified State Examination, including the list of examination subjects, the time allotted for writing the exam for each of them, and other parameters, are approved by a special order.

Duration of the Unified State Exam

The total length of time allotted for completing the tasks of the unified state exam in a specific subject is also determined by Rosobrnadzor depending on several factors, for example, the complexity of the exam tasks, the total amount of material that the student needs to know in order to successfully pass the exam, and others. At the same time, the length of time for the Unified State Examination includes only the time spent working on tasks: preliminary instructions, opening envelopes with texts and other preparatory procedures are not taken into account in the total duration of the exam.

The time allocated for writing different exams may vary significantly. Thus, in 2014, the shortest period of time, amounting to only three hours, that is, 180 minutes, was allocated for completing Unified State Examination tasks in such subjects as biology, geography, chemistry and foreign languages. Thus, all subjects falling under this category were elective subjects taken by the students.

In 2014, 3.5 hours, that is, 210 minutes, were allocated for completing assignments in one of the compulsory subjects - the Russian language, as well as for writing exams in history and social studies. Moreover, in the category of the longest exams, the duration of which was 235 minutes, one of the compulsory subjects was also mathematics, and along with it - physics, computer science and literature. It is worth noting that previously the time allotted for completing assignments in these subjects was 240 minutes, but in 2012 Rosobrnadzor decided to reduce this period of time by 5 minutes due to sanitary standards and regulations.

Distribution of time for the Unified State Exam

You have been preparing for several months or a whole year for the final stage of school, and now

It's time to show the results of your preparation. You're worried, and that's normal!

The main thing is that excitement does not prevent you from showing all your knowledge.

Take yourself to the exam, in addition to your passport, pens, etc., take chocolate (preferably dark if you like) and water of your choice.

Exams last from 180 minutes to 235 minutes. For eleventh-graders, the brain works productively for about 60 minutes, which is explained by the length of the lessons (45 minutes and another 15-20 minutes from the reserve). Then brain activity declines, and most often it is no longer possible to recover to full working condition. Your brain is accustomed to working for 45-50 minutes, so work at this pace, a break of 5-8 minutes is enough to prevent your brain from “boiling.”

We will divide the entire exam into work-rest stages, the approximate time of one such cycle is 60 minutes.

Based on your strengths, determine how many points you are “going for.” I’ll give an example on the Unified State Exam in mathematics: if you want about 100 points, then you need to solve the entire part B in 40-50 minutes, otherwise you simply won’t have enough time for everything else (one task 19 most often has to be written out for one and a half pages, only the process recordings will take 20-30 minutes of your time).

If you want to get 60-70 points, then it is better to solve the tasks for which you prepared more carefully and attentively.

First cycle (work-rest)

The task is to complete 70-100% of part B. During the “rest”, be sure to drink water and eat chocolate - this wonderful dope will turn on the reserve forces in your brain. Sit down, walk around the recreation area, and don’t rush back to class.

Second cycle

The task is to finish solving part B, solve the tasks of part C for which you were preparing. If there is still time left, it is better to leave early to “rest.”

Third cycle

We remove all the sheets of paper on which we solved Part B and solve again (especially all calculations in a column, etc.), without looking at our first solution, then we check the answers and fill out answer form No. 1. For the remaining time, we check the tasks from C that we solved and write them down in answer form No. 2.

Fourth cycle

If you adhered to the work-rest system, your brain should be tired, but still working. Here the task is to get points at least somewhere: one letter in No. 16 or No. 19. If there is little time left, it is better to write all your thoughts on the form at once; points will not be reduced for dirt.

Another problem you may encounter is stuffy classrooms. Ask (demand) to open a window or door. If the room is poorly ventilated, after 2-3 hours from the start of the exam there will be a “steam room”.

This is approximately how you should solve problems in time if you “go” for 70 – 100 points.

The table was taken from the website “I will solve the Unified State Exam”

Conclusion: eleven years at school taught your brain to work for 45 minutes with short rest breaks - take advantage of it. Nothing good will happen if you decide to go all out, because when the brain “overheats”, resting for 5-10 minutes will not be enough. Dose your work, manage your time and don’t be afraid to ask to leave; no one has the right to refuse you. Think positively, remember that if there is a difficult task, then there will be an easy one later - all options are balanced, good luck in the exam!

The developers of exam tasks answered the most frequently asked questions from graduates

One of two compulsory exams (the other is mathematics) that all students take. This year, graduates will take the Russian language exam on A.S. Pushkin’s birthday, June 6. If the result is too low, you can try to retake the exam on a reserve day - June 26, or in an additional period - 4 September. What do you need to know about the exam to pass it with the maximum score the first time?

1. How many points can you get on the Unified State Exam in Russian?

For correct completion of all tasks of the examination paper, you can receive a maximum of 58 primary points. For a well-written essay you can get 24 points.

To receive a high school diploma, you must score a minimum of 24 points. And if an eleventh-grader plans to enter a university, no matter what specialty, the exam must be passed with at least 36 points.

2. How much time is given to complete all tasks?

210 minutes, or 3.5 hours, are allotted to complete the examination work in the Russian language.

3. What knowledge will be tested at the Unified State Exam in the Russian language?

The tasks of the examination work in the Russian language test knowledge of the norms of text construction, lexical, spelling, punctuation, grammatical norms of the modern Russian literary language, and the ability to create a text based on what has been read.

4. What tasks does the exam version consist of?

Each version of the Unified State Examination paper in the Russian language consists of two parts and includes 26 tasks that differ in form and level of difficulty.

Part 1 contains 25 short-answer tasks (open-type tasks for recording a self-formulated correct answer and tasks for choosing and recording one correct answer from the proposed list of answers).

The tasks of the first part test the examination participants' mastery of educational material at both basic and high levels of complexity: the latter type includes tasks that test mastery of grammatical norms (task 7), the ability to find means of connecting sentences in the text (task 24) and those used in the text linguistic means of expression (task 25).

Part 2 contains one task (task 26) - based on the text read. In completing this task, the examinee must demonstrate the ability to analyze the content and issues of the text read, comment on the problem of the source text, determine the position of the author of the text, express and argue his own opinion, consistently and logically express thoughts, use a variety of grammatical forms and lexical richness of the language in speech, formulate statements in accordance with the spelling, punctuation, grammatical and speech norms of the modern Russian literary language.

The essay can be written by the examinee at any level of complexity (basic, advanced, high).

5. This year a new task No. 20 appeared. What does it check?

Task No. 20 will test your knowledge of the lexical norms of the Russian literary language. The assignment will be worth 1 point.

The task will be given in two versions:

as an exception, that is, it will be necessary to remove the extra word;
in the form of a replacement, that is, the word will need to be replaced.

Execution algorithm: first you need to find a semantic (semantic) contradiction in the sentence, isolate the error and complete the task, correcting this error.

6. What is the difficulty of completing task No. 7?

The task sounds like this: “Make a correspondence between grammatical errors and the sentences in which they were made.”

There are three types, but only morphological and syntactic errors will need to be identified in the exam.

Morphological errors:

incorrect use of the case form of a noun with a preposition;
incorrect use of a numeral.

Syntax errors:

disruption of the connection between subject and predicate;
violation of aspect-temporal correlation of verb forms;
error in constructing a sentence with homogeneous members;
incorrect construction of sentences with participles;
violation in the construction of sentences with a participial phrase;
violation in the construction of a sentence with an inconsistent application;
incorrect construction of sentences with indirect speech;
error in constructing a complex sentence.

Before starting the task, the authors of the exam tasks advise you to carefully read all the sentences.

7. What is different about the essay in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language (task No. 26)?

To successfully write an essay based on the text you read, the developers advise adhering to the following plan:

formulate one of the problems posed by the author of the text;
write a commentary on this problem, including two illustrative examples from the text read, which are important for understanding and arguing the problem;
indicate the author's position;
express your personal attitude to what you read, supporting your opinion with two literary arguments.

But it is not necessary to strictly follow this plan. In a good essay, thoughtful composition is important. You can limit yourself to three basic parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. You can also include other parts with their own micro-themes in each.

Tips from the developers:

You need to think through the composition only after the problem raised by the author in the text has been identified. It is important not to confuse the topic and problem of the text.
It is advisable to use works from .
You can use modern and foreign literature as arguments.
You can rely on non-classical genres of literature (detective or thriller), but the chosen argument must be presented precisely as an argument.
A reference to a feature film is not a literary argument, even if it is a film adaptation.
Popular science articles and books can be used as a literary argument.

8. How does the difficulty level of a task affect the final score?

Among the tasks of the basic level of complexity there are tasks with a low percentage of completion - you should pay special attention to them. These are tasks testing the spelling of -Н- and -НН- in various parts of speech (task 14), punctuation marks in a complex sentence with different types of connections (task 19), knowledge of functional and semantic types of speech (task 22).

9. What must be taken into account to get the maximum score?

In general, all the necessary advice and explanations are given in the instructions for performing the work before the CMM option. Therefore, you should carefully read the instructions for the option and the specific task. Following these tips will allow you to organize your exam work more efficiently. In addition to general instructions, each part of the work provides recommendations on how to write down the answer to tasks of one type or another. Before completing tasks, you should carefully read the instructions for each type of task.

10. How to fill out the exam form correctly?

Practice has shown that it is better to enter the answers first into the KIM, and then carefully transfer them to answer form No. 1 to the right of the number of the corresponding task, starting from the first cell, without spaces, commas and other additional characters. Answers to assignments are written without unnecessary additions (a term, concept, keyword or combination of words from the text is written, etc.).

It is better to first write down the answer to task 26 on a draft, and then rewrite it on form No. 2. The essay should be written clearly, in legible handwriting. Entries in drafts are not taken into account when processing and checking work.

Video consultation on the Unified State Exam in Russian from the exam developers:

Author of the article: Anna Malkova.
This article does not replace preparing for the Unified State Exam with or with a tutor. But you will learn how to properly allocate time on the specialized Unified State Examination in mathematics in order to get maximum scores.

You, of course, have seen in the collections for preparing for the Unified State Exam (USE) recommendations to start with the simplest tasks and then move on to complex ones. And if the task does not work out, then skip it and move on to the next one. Previously, such a recommendation was also in the demo version of the profile Unified State Examination in mathematics. Now it has been removed. Why?

If you came to the Unified State Exam without knowing anything at all, then yes, you need to choose from the option the simplest tasks where you can do at least something. But then it’s better to immediately choose the basic Unified State Exam in mathematics and not suffer.

What if you want to pass specialized mathematics with 100 points? Or at least 80-90?

Let's remember: if you are going for a high score, you need to solve the first 12 tasks of the profile Unified State Exam in mathematics in half an hour. Correct and without errors. And have time to transfer the answers to the Unified State Examination form. This can only be achieved through training.

We check the answers and transfer them to the Unified State Exam form immediately, so as not to return to them 100 times.

And after 12 problems with short answers are solved, we move on to complex problems of the profile Unified State Examination in mathematics. And these are problems from 13 to 19.

Strategy is important here. If you spent the entire 11th grade (or better yet, tenth grade) taking Unified State Exam courses or with a tutor, you can easily solve three more problems:

No. 13 - equation,
No. 15 – inequality.
and No. 17 - economic.
This is algebra. It works for everyone. If there are 2 months before the Unified State Examination, you want to pass the specialized Unified State Examination in mathematics with a high score, but are unable to solve these problems - urgently take express preparation courses for the Unified State Examination! Because tutors are unlikely to have free time for you 2 months before the Unified State Exam.

It takes an hour to solve these three algebra problems. During this time, you need to have time to solve them, check them (for example, substitute the found roots into the equation), and draw up the solution in a clean copy.

Now you have about two and a half hours and 4 challenging problems. And if you have already solved all the previous ones correctly, you have scored about 70-75 points. Great! Now comes the fun part!

Let's look at 4 difficult problems of the profile Unified State Examination in mathematics.

This is Problem 14 – Stereometry.

Problem 16 – Geometry on a plane.

We talked in detail about each of these tasks when we wrote about the structure of the profile Unified State Examination in mathematics.

What to do during the exam?
You need to look at these 4 complex problems - Stereometry, Geometry, Parameters and Non-standard - with an experienced eye. If you have been studying in Unified State Exam courses all year or with a good tutor, then one of these tasks will definitely seem familiar and simple to you. You remember exactly how to solve it! Let's take it and do it. We decide, check, draw up a clean draft. Then the next one. We keep an eye on the time: two and a half hours for 4 complex tasks is quite enough. It is important not to get stuck! If you don’t have any ideas for a solution for 10 minutes, move on to the next one.

The most “expensive” of these tasks are numbers 18 and 19. They are valued at 4 primary points each, and these 4 primary ones are converted into 8-9 test points. So if you solved three out of four difficult problems on the specialized Unified State Examination in mathematics, you are a champion!

Good luck on the Unified State Examination in mathematics!
