Getting ready for the Unified State Exam 2017
Tested in English language exam communicative competence graduates. What does it mean? To put it simply, it revealed their ability to understand foreign speech by ear and sight, be able to communicate, read and write. Everything is within general education program, no more.
The written work consisted of 46 tasks: 15 – “Listening” section, 9 – “Reading”, 20 – “Grammar and vocabulary”, 2 – “Writing”. 28 tasks required choosing one answer from several proposed ones, 16 required a short answer or choosing a match, 2 required a detailed answer.
The oral part consisted of four tasks: reading a text and (based on a verbal situation and a picture or photograph) dialogue-questioning, monologue statement. The most difficult task for the students was to compare the situations depicted in two photographs.
The exam results indicate an increase in the language competence of graduates compared to last year. The percentage of children who passed with high scores (81-100) increased - 35.79 (in 2015 - 27.98). The number of victims of surrender fiasco has almost halved: from 3.38% to 1.65%.
The most difficult section is traditionally “Grammar and Vocabulary”. It’s not easy for the guys correct usage types of tense forms of verbs, as well as accurately compose interrogative sentences.
For all examinees who scored less than 60 points, the “Writing” section was difficult to pass.
To successfully pass the exam, you must be able to identify the main idea of the text and formulate it. You don't have to understand every word to do this. Unfamiliar vocabulary appears in every text; you need to learn to navigate keywords and phrases, connect linguistic intuition, try to understand the main idea.
More needs to be done in preparation practical work with text (both oral and written). Graduates should also develop their vocabulary and pay attention to the spelling of words - the guys make a lot of mistakes. Practice choosing synonyms and antonyms for different words. Learn to accurately answer exactly the questions posed in the task.
IN written assignment, which requires them to formulate their opinion and give reasons for it, graduates often forget to express it, get confused and give arguments both for and against at the same time.
The oral part of the exam is characterized by errors in word pronunciation, stress, logical intonation in a sentence.
The question still arises: where do schoolchildren come from who cannot step over the minimum threshold points? After all, the Unified State Exam foreign language choose independently. This is not mathematics and the Russian language, which are mandatory for passing, and like it or not, you can or you can’t, you understand or you don’t understand, but go and demonstrate what you have learned in these subjects during your time at school.
Most likely, those who did not pass the exam are people who chose the Unified State Exam in a foreign language just like that, just in case: what if I’m lucky and pass, I’ve been studying for so many years, so I’ll write and say something. But if you manage to pass, the circle will expand significantly educational institutions, which you can try to enroll in after school. That’s why we didn’t prepare much.
It seems that everything has been done to ensure that the exam is passed successfully: on the FIPI website, by opening the codifier, you can see a detailed list of content elements being tested. There is also a specification and demo Unified State Exam version. You just need to take your time, read these documents, delve into their contents, try to run the demo version and exam papers previous years. And after that, tell yourself honestly whether it’s worth the risk by choosing such an exam.
And then it won’t turn out that guys who don’t know how to form the simplest come to the exam grammatical forms. How can a graduate who does not know basic things, such as comparative and comparative forms, count on success? superlatives adjectives “good” and “bad”, simple past tense of irregular verbs?
If you prepare qualitatively, responsibly, take into account weak spots, revealed when passing the exam in previous years, then a high score is quite possible!
Foreign language examinations are in great demand among children who plan to further study at universities in this particular field.
There are no fundamental changes planned in the state exam in foreign languages next year. It is planned to break down all questions into written part and questions requiring oral answers
Some new points will appear in the procedure for passing the state exam. The student will be given three attempts to pass the examination.
Unified State Examination in English 2016 About 9% of graduates try. Changes in the examination affected only the structure of the tasks. The oral part was introduced and the form of several questions was modified. In general, the exam remained the same as in previous years.
Unified State Examination in German 2016 was changed in the first part, where test tasks were replaced by oral questions.
Unified State Examination in French 2016 is particularly unpopular among teenagers, however, even so, the number low ratings, quite small. A number of changes affected the structure and form of the tasks themselves. Some questions for which it was necessary to choose the correct answer from the proposed options were replaced with tasks in the form of a search for correspondence.
Unified State Examination in Spanish 2016 is also not popular, which is due to low quality teaching in schools. However, there are surprisingly few negative marks in this foreign language. There are no changes in the state exam, with the exception of structural changes.
A number of innovations affected the organization of the state exam in a foreign language. The delivery scheme for CMMs and their storage conditions will change radically. Until the examination period, materials will be stored in special warehouses, under guard and local authorities will not have access to them.
It is worth noting that CMMs will be developed not only on the basis of codifiers, but also taking into account the time difference between regions.
Structure of Unified State Exam 2016 tasks in foreign languages
For each foreign language, its own KIMs have been compiled. The number of questions in tasks for each language is 46.
The questions are divided into two groups. The first group consists of test tasks, and the second group in 2016 began to be oral in nature.
The first 14 questions relate to the text you listened to, are basic and require choosing an answer from those proposed. The next 7 questions require answers from a written text.
A number of other questions concern grammatical and lexical norms language and a one-word answer. When passing the test, you are required to compose a letter to a friend. TO last task refers to an essay on a chosen topic. In general, the questions are the same in all languages.
Letter to the Unified State Examination in Foreign Languages 2016
As a task for the Unified State Exam in a foreign language, it was proposed to compose a personal letter to a foreign language friend. According to the requirements, the volume of the answer should not exceed 100-140 words. In general, the task is not difficult, however, it must be completed quickly and in compliance with certain rules.
The rules for design and content are usually as follows:
- the recipient's address and the date of the letter are indicated in the upper right corner;
- The letter should begin with an informal greeting indicating the name of the recipient;
- It is very important to remember that after the address there is a comma;
- the text is divided into a number of logical paragraphs;
- the first paragraph consists of thanking the friend for the message, the second is devoted to all the issues that need to be addressed according to the rules of the task itself, the last part indicates the reason why it is necessary to complete the letter and future contacts.
Before the exam test, the teenager should draw up an approximate letter template so that during the exam he does not waste time on its formulation and composition.
Essay in the Unified State Examination in Foreign Languages 2016
Another task in the state exam in a foreign language was writing an essay.
Perhaps this task can be considered one of the most difficult tests in the exam. This is explained by the fact that writing a paper requires high-quality content and clear structuring of the text.
It is considered a big mistake of graduates that they do not complete the task in the form in which it is required, namely, instead of an essay with elements of reasoning, they simply complete an essay. This does not allow us to fully disclose the topic being voiced.
It is necessary to use an exclusively formal style when writing an essay and not use abbreviations. Also, you should not use water words in your work.
The success of the work lies in clearly structuring the essay. The essay plan should be as follows:
- The first paragraph states the main problem that will be discussed later in the text.
- The second paragraph should contain your point of view regarding the problem and the reasons why other opinions are not acceptable.
- At the end, the results of the argument are summarized.
Very important point, which is worth remembering is that the amount of work should not be more than at least 200-250 words. IN otherwise, the task will not be counted.

The explanatory note from the Ministry says that the student is free to decide independently whether he will take the “speaking” test, but it is quite natural that without this component one cannot count on the maximum number of points. Written and oral tests in English are taken over two days.
