The mandatory state exam is not at all as scary as it is made out to be. On most subjects you can freely use authorized reference materials. Such “cheat sheets” help to quickly refresh your memory and complete tasks correctly, eliminating the need to keep a bunch of formulas and other necessary information in your head. Besides, it’s somehow calmer with them, right?
Do not neglect this right under any circumstances. It’s a shame to lose a few crucial points because you got excited and wrote a formula or a simple word incorrectly.
What is allowed for the OGE/GIA?
The list of reference materials for each discipline is different. It is approved by order of the Ministry of Education annually. They are included in the CMMs and are given to each subject before the start of the test.
Russian language
The only additional materials you will be provided with are a spelling dictionary.
Biology
Pencil, ruler, calculator.
Mathematics
Ruler, formulas for calculating the roots of a quadratic equation, the nth term of an arithmetic and geometric progression, a table of squares of two-digit numbers, as well as some geometric formulas.
Chemistry
Calculator, periodic table, solubility table for acids, salts and bases, activity series of metals.
Geography
A set of geographical atlases for grades 7-9, ruler, calculator.
Physics
Calculator, equipment for laboratory work.
Literature
You can use full versions of works of art and lyrics for analysis. Only school publications are provided, that is, without prefaces or comments.
Important nuances that everyone should know about
During the exam, you cannot use a calculator that allows you to store exam tasks in its memory or receive any information via wireless communication. Only those models that have only the following functions are allowed to be used:
- four basic arithmetic operations;
- square root extraction;
- trigonometric functions.
If the rules do not stipulate the use of a pencil on a given object, then you cannot take it with you. Drawings are made with a black helium pen. The presence of extraneous inscriptions on the ruler is not allowed.
The only food you can take with you is a chocolate bar in factory packaging without any signs of opening and a bottle of plain water without a label. In some cases, you are allowed to take medication with you if its need is confirmed by a doctor.
Why can you be removed from the exam?
All items that are not provided by KIMs are prohibited for use during the exam. These include:
- mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, communicators;
- "smart watch";
- any programmable computing devices;
- cameras, video cameras, voice recorders, headphones;
- off-list reference materials, notes, memos, etc.;
- sheets of paper;
- any storage media.
The passport must have no cover. If it is warm in the classroom, then long-sleeved clothing is returned to the cloakroom. All personal belongings are left in a special room and locked with a key.
During the exam, you cannot leave the place and violate the established working order on the table without the permission of the observer, talk, exchange notes and assignments.
If you break the rules, the observers have the right to remove you from the audience. The exam results are canceled and a corresponding entry is made in the protocol. You will have the opportunity to re-pass the state final certification in August of this year. Remember that observers are financially responsible for the correct conduct of the exam, so no one will cover up violations or meet you halfway.
Sooner or later, there comes a time in every student’s life when they have to start preparing for exams. And the very first serious exam in our country awaits students already in the 9th grade. OGE - general state exam, is a test to determine the student’s level of knowledge in each subject.
Also, the result obtained on the OGE (9th grade) affects the grade in the certificate, therefore it is very important to pass the certification well.
But not every student at the beginning of the year realizes which subjects are easier to pass on the OGE and which is better to give preference to. Let's look at this step by step.
Classification of all items
First of all, every student should know that all subjects can be divided into two groups: humanitarian and technical.
There are quite a few subjects that are classified as technical. However, these sciences are necessary in 90% of cases for admission to a technical college. Among them are mathematics, physics, computer science. It should be noted that physics is the only subject that is passed in 99% of cases for admission to a technical specialty. Computer science is also a common exam choice, but is required for programming-related careers.
The list includes a much larger number of school subjects. Among them:
- story;
- social science;
- literature;
- geography;
- biology;
- chemistry;
Although, of course, biology and chemistry are often classified as a separate group, it is generally accepted to include them in the list of humanitarian subjects that are taken for the OGE.
And you should not forget about the required subjects for passing the OGE. There are only two of them: Russian language and mathematics. Therefore, no matter what direction you choose, you must remember that preparation for these subjects is mandatory in order to successfully pass the OGE.
9th grade is a difficult period. This year, everyone must determine the subjects that they want to take. But which subjects are easier to pass on the OGE?
Choosing directions
To make a choice, you first need to think about which sciences are easiest for you. It’s no secret that some people understand physics perfectly, others are able to solve difficult problems in chemistry, and still others are well versed in history.
Therefore, the student must understand that there is no list of easy subjects, because they are different for everyone.
To understand which subjects are easier for you to take at the OGE, first you should choose one direction out of two. Having decided, we can move on to further search.
Choosing a technical direction
If the choice fell on a technical direction, then, most likely, physics is not an overwhelming science for the student. But, alas, this is not always the case. Sometimes the desire to get a technical profession may not come true due to problems with the subjects required for passing. What to do in this case?
If you understand that physics is not the easiest subject, then you need to properly plan your preparation.
- Ask a tutor for help. If a student needs to score a considerable number of points, then it is very difficult to prepare well for the OGE on his own.
- In addition to classes with a specialist, the child must study independently, which means planning his work and strictly following the class schedule.
- In order to pass the physics exam successfully, you need to practice a lot. Constantly solving problems is the key to success on the OGE.
The same advice can be applied to other exact sciences, for example mathematics and computer science.
Humanitarian direction
With the humanitarian direction, everything is a little different. Of course, due to the large number of items, everyone can find the easiest one for themselves. But we can offer a list of the most popular subjects for passing the OGE, which suggests that they are relatively easy.
Social science
About 70% of students in 9th grade pass this subject. Such high popularity is due to the fact that the subject is easier to understand and remember. This science is not exact, and the student gains much of the knowledge in this course in the course of his life, because this subject is the science of society.
But we should not forget that easy subjects at the OGE will not be easy if you do not prepare for them. A student who regularly completes homework in social studies, prepares at home on his own at least a couple of times a week, and is interested in the subject in class will undoubtedly receive a high score on the OGE.
Story
In fact, it’s difficult to call this subject easy. But about 28% of 9th grade students pass history. What's the secret? The fact is that history is a science that needs to be taught and memorized. There are no complex puzzles or formulas, but there are a large number of dates and events that need to be remembered. If a child takes preparation responsibly, he will not need anything other than careful memorization. And that means the exam will not be so difficult for him.
Biology
And this list ends with biology. Biology is a very interesting science. In addition, it is necessary for admission to any medical college; without it it is unthinkable to obtain a medical education. Therefore, this subject is often chosen in 9th grade. But it is not too easy. In OGE tasks, a child can encounter not only test questions, but also problems that need to be solved. One good thing is that biology is not difficult to understand. With due effort, it will be possible to pass this subject.
OK it's all over Now. The student only needs to think carefully about his preferences and abilities, and he will be able to answer for himself the question of which subjects are easier to pass on the OGE. If he plans his preparation, the OGE will no longer seem so scary and difficult to him.
Also, the student must know how many subjects to take for the OGE. The changes that have occurred over a couple of years are unlikely to please future students. And they consist in the fact that if previously a student could only pass the compulsory subjects or choose the ones he needed, then today, in addition to the two compulsory subjects, everyone must determine two more subjects that he wants to pass.
This suggests that each student should prepare for at least 4 subjects, or even more. But you shouldn’t be afraid of this either. Don’t forget that if you take your studies responsibly, then you won’t have to think about which subjects are easier to pass on the OGE.

What can you use on the Unified State Exam? Let's figure it out.
You must take it with you to the Unified State Exam. passport!
You cannot use a mobile phone during the Unified State Examination. Mobile devices are handed in upon entering the classroom. If you are suddenly noticed at the Unified State Exam with a mobile phone (with a book, with a notebook...) - you will be removed from the exam. The results will be cancelled.
On the Unified State Exam mathematics you take with you pens (black gel) and a ruler. It turns out that many graduates do not know: you can use a ruler on the Unified State Examination in mathematics! But you can’t take a compass (logical: what if someone uses it as a bladed weapon?). And therefore, when preparing for the Unified State Exam in mathematics, learn to draw circles by hand. At first they will look like potatoes with shoots, but each time they will turn out better.
In the version of the basic Unified State Exam in mathematics, you will have the necessary reference material. The main thing is to know in advance how to use it.
The version of the profile Unified State Examination in mathematics also contains “reference material” - in the form of 5 trigonometry formulas. Of course, this is not enough to solve problems! We hope that by the time you take the Unified State Exam you will have learned more than a measly 5 formulas!
Should I take cheat sheets for the Unified State Exam? Risky. Although one schoolchild from Kazakhstan made a cheat sheet 11 meters long and was even able to use it, after which he ended up in the Guinness Book of Records. But not everyone will be so lucky, and it is more likely not to get into the book of records, but to be removed from the Unified State Examination.
But it makes sense to make yourself the perfect cheat sheet before the exam. Place, for example, all the necessary geometry formulas on a sheet of paper. While you write them, design them, make drawings for them, you remember the material perfectly. First, check the textbook. Then - from memory. After that, you can safely leave this work of art at home, because you already remember everything.
On the Unified State Exam physics You can (and should) take a non-programmable calculator with you. This is a calculator “with functions” - allowing, in addition to arithmetic operations, to calculate sine, tangent, logarithm, square root and much more.
When are you preparing for the Unified State Exam? physics, use just such a calculator. No need to replace it with your mobile phone! Because you won’t take your mobile phone to the Unified State Examination.
On the Unified State Exam chemistry You can also bring a calculator. And they will also give you: the periodic table (it replaces a dozen crib sheets!), a solubility table, an electrochemical series of metal voltages. If you skillfully use this wealth, you can pass the Unified State Exam in chemistry.
On the Unified State Exam geography– You can take a calculator, a ruler and a protractor.
You don’t need to take anything for the Unified State Examination in subjects other than pens.
Can I take food with me? It turns out not. Do you know why the Unified State Exam lasts not 4 hours, but 3 hours and 55 minutes? Because it is believed that in 4 hours you will get hungry and you will need to be fed, that’s the rule. And you can live 3 hours and 55 minutes without eating. Therefore, you won’t be able to bring a sandwich, pizza, or nuts.
Please have breakfast at home before the exam! Just not cucumbers with milk! You don't need to drink a lot of coffee either. Coffee in excess can cause drowsiness and at the same time is a diuretic.
You can bring water to the Unified State Exam if there is no cooler or water bottles in the classroom where the Unified State Exam is being held.
You can take food with you to the GVE exam.
What else do schoolchildren take with them to the Unified State Exam? Why don’t they take it! But you don't need to do this. Once there was a news report that one girl took a snake with her to the Unified State Exam in Russian. During the exam, he crawled out, scared the applicants and observers, panic began, he was already crawling, everyone was screaming and trying to escape, then the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived. The reptile died. The girl explained her action by saying that the snake was bored alone at home. This is, of course, creative, but cruel to the snake and to your classmates.
Good luck on the Unified State Exam!
Tell your friends!
The main state exam is mandatory for all 9th graders. The future fate of the student depends on its results: whether he goes to the tenth grade, enters a secondary school, or perhaps looks for an available job with the prospect of continuing his studies in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to pass the OGE as successfully as possible. And it will be even more offensive if, despite excellent preparation for the exam, due to the discovery of unauthorized things on the student, the student is removed from the classroom and the results are cancelled.
You must bring your passport and a black gel pen to all exams.
Is there anything else I can use?
Mathematics
In mathematics you can use a ruler and compass. Reference materials with basic formulas (a table of squares of two-digit numbers, formulas for the roots of a quadratic equation, factorization of a quadratic trinomial, formulas for the nth term and the sum of the first n terms of arithmetic and geometric progressions) are given at the exam along with the work.
Russian language
During the Russian language exam, a spelling dictionary will be a lifesaver.
Physics
You can bring a non-programmable calculator to the OGE in Physics. Experimental equipment is also provided.
Geography
In the geography exam, in addition to a calculator, atlases for grades 7-9 and a ruler are also allowed.
Chemistry
You can bring a non-programmable calculator, D.I. Mendeleev’s periodic system of chemical elements, a table of solubility of salts, acids and bases and water, an electrochemical series of metal voltages.
Biology
For biology, you can take a pencil and a ruler.
Literature
In literature, texts of works of art and collections of poems will be faithful assistants.
When taking the exam in computer science and ITK, you only need to have a passport and a pen, but computers are provided, and in a foreign language - sound-reproducing and recording equipment for listening and recording the answer to an oral question.
For history, social studies and biology, no reference materials, additional materials or equipment are provided.
Mobile phones and other means of communication, calculators, except non-programmable ones, and then only for the exams listed above, and other types of electronic computer equipment are not allowed in the exam.
Reference materials not listed above should also be excluded, as should written notes.
Some exam tasks require a detailed answer. 9th graders and their parents are often concerned with the question: do they need to take blank sheets for this, which ones exactly and how many. No, you don't need to bring it with you. The examinee must contact the organizer, who is in the audience, with a request to provide him with answer forms. He can use an unlimited number of these forms.
Observers are present at the exam, and video surveillance is carried out of what is happening in the classrooms. Therefore, it is in the interests of schoolchildren to comply with the established rules for passing. If there is a suspicion of violating the rules of the exam, the examinee is removed from the exam without the right to retake this year.
It is also worth mentioning some other points that may cause the job to be cancelled. You should not tempt fate and try to talk to anyone present in the audience, pass anything on to someone, or get up from your seat without the organizer’s permission.
We remember that all exam materials, including drafts, must be submitted to the organizer!
If, in the opinion of the examinee, his rights were violated or some violations were committed during the test, he can file an appeal, but only immediately, until he leaves the examination site.
It is better to prepare everything you need to take with you in advance, in the evening, so that in a hurry you do not grab something extra, forbidden, or forget what is allowed.
Conducting the OGE
On the day of the exam, the OGE participant arrives at the examination point (PPE) at least 45 minutes before the start.
A participant in the OGE is included in the PES only if he has an identification document and if he is on the distribution lists for this PES. If the participant does not have an identification document, his identity is confirmed by an accompanying person from the educational organization through which he was admitted to the State Examination.
On the day of the exam, the OGE participant must have a helium, capillary or fountain pen with black ink.
During the Russian language exam, the OGE participant is allowed to use a spelling dictionary issued by the organizers in the classroom. Dictionaries are provided by an educational organization on the basis of which the PPE is organized, or by educational organizations whose students take the exam in the PPE. The use of personal spelling dictionaries by OGE participants is prohibited.
During the mathematics exam, the OGE participant is allowed to carry and use a ruler. Reference materials containing the basic formulas of the mathematics course of the educational program of basic general education (hereinafter referred to as reference materials) are received by the OGE participant along with the examination materials. The use of personal reference materials by OGE participants is prohibited.
During the chemistry exam, the OGE participant is allowed to carry and use a non-programmable calculator. The periodic system of chemical elements by D.I. Mendeleev, the table of solubility of salts, acids and bases in water and the electrochemical series of metal voltages, the necessary laboratory equipment, the OGE participant will receive along with the exam materials.
During the physics exam, the OGE participant is allowed to carry and use a non-programmable calculator. The OGE participant will receive the necessary laboratory equipment along with the exam materials.
During the geography exam, the OGE participant is allowed to carry and use a non-programmable calculator and ruler. Geographical atlases for grades 7, 8 and 9 are provided by the educational organization on the basis of which the PPE is organized, or by educational organizations whose students take the exam in the PPE. The use of personal geographic atlases by OGE participants is prohibited.
During the biology exam, the OGE participant is allowed to carry and use a ruler, pencil and non-programmable calculator.
During the literature exam, the OGE participant is allowed to use the texts of works of art and collections of lyrics.
On the day of the exam, the OGE participant is prohibited from carrying communications equipment, electronic computer equipment, photo, audio and video equipment, reference materials, written notes and other means of storing and transmitting information.
The OGE participant approaches the information stand (or is directed by the organizer), where the distribution lists for audiences are posted, and determines the audience where he is assigned to the exam. The organizers provide assistance to OGE participants in accommodation in the classrooms in which the exam will be held.
At the entrance to the PES, law enforcement officers and (or) employees of internal affairs bodies (police), together with the organizers, check the presence of the specified documents on students, establish the correspondence of their identity with the submitted documents, and check the presence of the indicated persons on the distribution lists in this PES.
When entering the classroom, the OGE participant leaves personal belongings in a specially designated place in the classroom, except those permitted for use during the exam.
The OGE participant takes a workplace in the audience in accordance with the distribution. Changing the workplace is not allowed.
Before the start of the exam, the OGE participant undergoes instructions and listens to information about the procedure for conducting the exam, the rules for preparing the examination paper, the duration of the exam, the procedure for filing appeals about violation of the established procedure for conducting the OGE and about disagreement with the assigned points, about cases of removal from the exam, as well as the time and the place where you can get acquainted with the results of the OGE.The organizers inform students that entries on the KIM for the OGE, texts, topics, assignments, tickets for the GVE and drafts are not processed or checked.
The organizer in the audience gives the participants the OGEexamination materials (CMM, answer sheets, drafts, permitted reference materials, laboratory equipment (if necessary)). The OGE participant checks the completeness and quality of printing of examination materials. If an OGE participant discovers that exam materials are defective or incomplete, he contacts the organizer to obtain a new set of exam materials.
At the direction of the organizer, the OGE participant fills out the registration fields of the forms. The organizers check that students have filled out the registration fields of the examination paper correctly. After this (upon completion of filling out the registration fields of the examination work by all students), the organizer announces the beginning of the exam and records its start time on the board (stand), then the OGE participant begins to perform the examination work.
If there is not enough space on the answer form for tasks with a detailed answer, the OGE participant requests an additional form from the organizer. An additional form is issued to the OGE participant provided that the main form is filled out on both sides. In this case, the organizer indicates the number of the additional form in the previous answer form for tasks with a detailed answer. The OGE participant can use drafts when performing work and make notes in the CMM.
During the exam, on the OGE participant’s desktop, in addition to exam materials, there may only be:
pen;
identification document;
tools approved for use in the exam in some subjects;
medications and nutrition (if necessary);
special technical means (for students with disabilities, disabled children, people with disabilities).
Students leave other things in a specially designated place in the classroom for personal belongings of students.
During the exam, OGE participants do not have the right to communicate with each other, move freely around the audience and PPE. During the exam, an OGE participant is allowed to leave the audience with the permission of the organizer, and move around the PES - accompanied by one of the organizers. When leaving the classroom, the OGE participant leaves exam materials and drafts on the desktop. It is prohibited to take examination materials out of classrooms and PPE or to photograph them.
Participants in the OGE who violate the established procedure for conducting the State Examination are removed from the exam. To do this, organizers or public observers invite an authorized representative of the State Examination Committee, who draws up an act of removal from the exam and removes persons who violated the established procedure for conducting the State Examination from the PES. The specified act is sent to the State Examination Office on the same day for recording when processing examination papers. If the violation of the exam procedure by the OGE participant is confirmed, the State Examination Committee makes a decision to cancel the results of the OGE participant in the relevant academic subject.
If a participant in the OGE cannot complete the examination work for health reasons or other objective reasons, he may leave the classroom. In this case, the organizers invite a medical worker and an authorized representative of the State Examination Committee, who draws up a report on the early completion of the exam for objective reasons. In the future, the OGE participant, if desired, will be able to take the exam in this subject on reserve days provided for by the schedule.
30 minutes and 5 minutes before the end of the exam, the organizers inform the OGE participants about the imminent completion of the exam and remind them of the need to transfer answers from drafts to sheets (forms).
After the exam time has expired, the organizers announce the end of the exam and collect the exam materials.
OGE participants who have completed the examination work before the announcement of the end of the exam have the right to hand it over to the organizers and leave the PET.
