For some unknown reason, chemistry scares many schoolchildren no less than mathematics or physics. Like any exact science, it does not tolerate ambiguity (at least in theory), leaving room for useful discoveries in practice. Chemistry is simply necessary in medicine, engineering, geology, but not all universities require passing this exam. From this article you will learn what innovations are in store for everyone planning to take the Unified State Exam in Chemistry in 2018 and where it is better to start preparing.
Where to start?
Preparing for the unified state exam in chemistry, like any other subject, requires time and perseverance. Here is a rough plan of action:
- re-read your notes, remember which topics you missed, what remained unclear - this way you will identify gaps in knowledge;
- write down the questions that you have and try to get answers to them, you have several months to do this;
- if possible, sign up for preparatory courses - this way you are guaranteed to complete the entire program and gain confidence in the exam;
- Be sure to get a manual for preparing for the Unified State Exam in chemistry (preferably recommended by FIPI) and study every day, albeit little by little, and don’t skip a single exercise.
Will it be harder in 2018?
The exam itself still lasts 210 minutes. The compilers assure that conscientious schoolchildren will not experience any difficulties, but we will know this only in September next year, when all the results of the Unified State Exam in chemistry will become known. So far the following changes have been made:
- in the second part of the examination paper one task was added - now there are 6 of them; it is devoted to ion exchange and redox reactions;
- The difficulty level of some tasks has been revised, and therefore they are now assessed slightly differently: task 9, advanced level - 2 points; tasks 21 and 26 of the basic level - 1 point each; tasks 30 and 31, high level - 2 points each.
Actually, in order to pass the Unified State Exam in chemistry with a decent score, it is not enough to know this subject with a good B, you need to be a damn “young chemist”, love this subject, even see chemical reactions in your dreams. Because if you make the classic mistake and start studying this subject from the structure of the atom, chemistry will remain for you a world of incomprehensible formulas and symbols. If you pay attention to the tasks of the demo version of the exam, it should be noted that many topics are of practical importance, requiring basic knowledge of metallurgy, chemical production, laboratory rules, classifications, nomenclatures and much more. That is why, from the very beginning of studying or repeating chemistry, the relationship between formulas, reactions and substances, between theory and practice should be established. If you can do this, you will get the most out of the materials included with your exam paper:
- periodic system of elements by D. I. Mendeleev;
- electrochemical series of metal voltages;
- tables of solubility of alkaline bases, acids and salts in H2O.
Dare, try and you will succeed!
The Unified State Exam (USE) in chemistry is not included in the list of mandatory exams. It is worth taking chemistry only if your choice of future profession lies in the field of medicine, construction, chemical or biotechnology.
Schoolchildren often ask teachers the question: “Is it difficult to pass the Unified State Exam in chemistry?” It is definitely not easy to answer, but learning a little more about the examination process is worth it to everyone who has chosen this discipline.
The exam consists of 40 tasks, which are divided into three parts - A, B and C.
Tasks A1-A26 belong to the basic level, and the correct answer to each question brings the student one primary point. There are four possible answers, from which you need to choose the correct one.
Let's look at how to solve these types of tasks.
| Job type | Possible error | Action |
| Standard simple question | Hasty answer |
Read the entire question to the end, discard the obviously incorrect options and choose the correct answer |
| Question with denial | The answer to the question is exactly the opposite |
Don't forget about denial |
|
Group selection |
Focusing on the first thing in the group | All elements listed in the group must meet the task conditions |
|
Two judgments |
Ignorance of some exceptional properties of a particular thing |
Remember the exception rules in chemistry |
General recommendations:
- solve tasks in three stages: in the first stage, discard difficult questions and solve only obvious ones; on the second - think and remember the exception rules; and on the third, if there are still unsolved tasks, use your intuition and try to guess the correct answer;
- remember the cheat sheets: the periodic table, the solubility table and the voltage series;
- if it seems to you that there are several correct options in the list of answers, re-read them several times: perhaps you missed a denial or facts that are possible in principle, but are not used in practice;
- Remember the special properties of some substances and exceptions to the rules.
Doing Part B: Going Deep and Focusing
B1-B9 - this is how tasks of an increased level of complexity are marked, where you need to write down a short answer. Each completed task is scored from 1 to 2 points, and in total you can get 18 primary points for correctly completed tasks.
There is a gradation of tasks by type, and, accordingly, its own nuances of implementation.
| Job type | Possible error | Action |
|
Matching tasks |
The desire to apply every proposed answer | Carefully re-read each proposed answer option. Please note that the letters in the answer may be repeated, and some of the proposed options may not be applicable to solve the problem |
|
Group selection |
Getting confused in the names of compounds of each group due to the need to compare several parameters at once |
To answer correctly, it is necessary to take into account the interactions of things. This is where eliminating unnecessary options can help. |
|
Correspondences between substances and the coefficient of the ionic equation |
Forget about coefficient 1, which is not written. When moving from the full ionic equation to a reduced one, many people forget that coefficients can also be reduced if they can be divided by the same number. |
Remember the rules for solving ionic equations and reducing coefficients. Do not confuse the numbering of answer options with answer values |
| Multiple Choice Questions |
Use only one option or all at once. Recording selected options in a chaotic order |
Remember that there is a special field for preliminary calculations, and only after you have finally solved the task, write down the options in ascending order on the answer form. As a rule, in this type of task there are 3 correct answer options. |
| Calculation problems | Rounding errors | Use the calculation field and write down only the correct answer |
General tips for solving problems in Part B:
- do not rush to write down answers on the test form;
- If you are in doubt about a multiple choice task, it is better to write fewer answer options.
Part C: maximum attention
Tasks of the most difficult level of the Unified State Exam in chemistry - C1-C5. There are only five of them, for each you need to give a full, detailed answer. Problems are worth 3 or 4 points, and the maximum you can get for the entire part C is 18 points.
If you get stuck on the first two parts, you won’t have enough time to solve the third. Look at the main types of tasks in Part C and the mistakes that students most often make.
| Job type | Possible error | Action |
| Equations of redox reaction | Even when solving the equation correctly, many people forget to indicate the oxidizing agent. | Determine the missing reaction compounds and oxidation states, apply the standard electronic balance algorithm. Double-check the answer you provided. |
| Equations of possible reactions for a set of inorganic substances | Many people forget to double-check the recorded answer. | Write down only those equations in which you are 100% sure, because only the first 4 are counted |
| "Thought Experiment" | Some examinees skip this task because the answer is unclear. | 1) draw up a reaction scheme; 2) decipher the diagram, replacing the designations with specific formulas; 3) write the reaction equations, placing all the coefficients. Do at least one of the listed steps correctly and it will earn you a point |
| Chain of transformations of organic substances |
Do not indicate by-products in addition to the main products. Examinees do not take into account the reaction conditions and write equations without structural formulas |
Consider the sequence of reactions and write the formulas correctly. Remember about complex reactions (oxidation with permanganate, electrolysis of solutions of carboxylic acid salts, interaction of halogen derivatives with alcoholic and aqueous alkali solutions, etc.) |
| Combined task | Errors in nomenclature and reaction equations. Often examinees do not understand the difference between phosphate and phosphide, nitrite and nitride | Write down all the results of reactions at each stage of solving the problem and take them into account in subsequent calculations using the reaction equation |
| Determining the formula of a substance | In problems with combustion products, hydrogen is lost, which is part of the hydrogen halides | Test yourself to see if there are more molecules or atoms. Don't get carried away with excessive rounding. Remember to write down structural formulas |
- be sure to perform the calculation using the reaction equation in MOLES, otherwise the solution to the problem will not be counted;
- complete at least part of the task: in this case you have a chance to earn at least a few extra points;
- Write down your answers as legibly as possible to avoid losing points due to carelessness.
There is hardly a final exam more difficult than the OGE or the Unified State Exam in chemistry. This subject must be taken by future biologists, chemists, doctors, engineers and builders. Today we will talk about what you need to know in order to get high scores, and what benefits are best to use.
Books and manuals for preparation
Unified State Examination and Unified State Examination experts recommend relying on specialized-level textbooks when preparing. The material in a standard basic textbook is not enough to successfully pass the exam. Practice shows that schoolchildren who have taken a specialized chemistry course feel quite confident during the exam. Several such textbooks have been written, but in terms of content and presentation they are approximately the same.
We recommend getting a collection of standard exam tasks - the official publication of FIPI (with a hologram) and a couple of books by other authors. They analyze tasks in detail, show ways to solve them, and provide algorithms and answers for self-control. The more options you solve, the greater your chances of passing the exam.
Repetition is the mother of learning
This is an important component of quality training. Chemistry is a complex science about matter; without knowing the basic topics of the initial course, you will not understand more complex ones. Of course, there may not be enough time to repeat the entire program, so it is better to pay more attention to precisely those issues that cause the most difficulty.
According to teachers at the Merlin Center, schoolchildren more often make mistakes in assignments related to the following topics:
- mechanisms of molecular bond formation;
- hydrogen bond;
- patterns of chemical reactions;
- physicochemical properties of solutions, electrolytic dissociation, reactions in electrolyte solutions;
- the effect of solution dilution on the degree of dissociation (Ostwald's dilution law);
- hydrolysis of salts;
- atmospheric compounds;
- main classes of compounds;
- industrial production and scope.
The same standard exam tasks and tests will help you identify gaps. Does not work? Ask your chemistry teacher for help or sign up for prep courses.
Conduct experiments
Chemistry is a science based on real experiments with substances. Experiments will help you better understand a particular topic. To do this, it is not necessary to buy a set of reagents and laboratory supplies. There are many interesting, well-produced videos on the Internet about chemical reactions. Don't be lazy to find them and look.
Be careful during the exam!
Most mistakes are made by children precisely because of inattention. Train yourself not to miss a single word when reading the task, pay attention to the wording and how many answers there should be.
- Read the question to the end, think about its meaning. There is often a little clue hidden in the wording.
- Start with easy questions where you have no doubt about the correctness of the answers, then move on to more complex tasks where you need to think.
- If a question is too difficult, skip it, don't waste time, you can come back to it later.
- The tasks are not related to each other, so focus only on the one you are doing at the moment.
- If you have difficulty, first try to eliminate obviously incorrect answers. It’s easier to choose an option from the remaining two or three than to get confused among five or six answers.
- Be sure to leave time to check your work so that you can quickly review assignments and correct any mistakes. An unfinished word or number may cost you a point.
Chemistry is a difficult subject, and it is best to prepare for the exam under the guidance of an experienced teacher; it is not recommended to count on the fact that you will cope with such an important task. Only a teacher can point out “inconspicuous” mistakes and help you fill in the gaps and explain complex material in simple, accessible language.
Just don't deceive yourself! “In principle, everything is fine with us,” parents often tell me in the first telephone conversation. “At school, the child got fours and even fives, but the test exam “accidentally” was written as two! I was probably worried.”
Friends! If a person really knows a subject with a B, he will not be able to pass the exam with a B, even if he is in an unconscious state. Don't flatter yourself! Chance is not a bad mark on a test exam, but a waterfall of fours and fives that befalls schoolchildren during their 11 years of study. Unfortunately, practice shows that 90% of school grades are fake! We will not talk now about the reasons for this phenomenon (you can read more about this Here), but rather, let’s think about how to give ourselves (or our offspring) an objective assessment.
I can offer several options:
- use tests in chemistry and mathematics on this site;
- buy a collection of Unified State Exam tests in the relevant subject and try to solve several options (only honestly, without cheating and without the help of friends!);
- Seek advice from a qualified tutor, ask him to assess your current level of knowledge and create a preparation program for the exam.
Set yourself a realistic goal. Consider time restrictions
If there are four months left before the Unified State Exam, at the moment you are barely able to solve 3-4 simple problems, and you are aiming for 90 points, I am afraid that you will be disappointed! To reach the level of 80 points in mathematics, even a very capable student will need 1.5 - 2 years of intensive work.
It is very difficult to clearly formulate what it is realistic goal. There are too many variables to consider. The initial level of the student, his abilities, the level of motivation, and, of course, the amount of time play a role. An experienced tutor already after one or two lessons understands what one or another of his students can count on. A non-professional can very often greatly exaggerate or understate a child’s capabilities.
I will try to give just a few guidelines using typical situations as examples. So,
| Typical situation | Forecast |
| We are preparing for the Unified State Exam in mathematics, we have a year left, the current level is “below the baseboard”. | We can count on 60 points in the exam, maximum 65 if we work hard. |
| We are preparing for the Unified State Exam in mathematics, we have a year left, and at the moment we can solve about 50% of the tasks from the first part. | Realistic forecast: 70 - 75 points. |
| We are preparing for a math exam, we have two With a year left, we can currently solve about 50% of the tasks. | We can even go above 90 points. A level of 80 points during normal operation is practically guaranteed. |
| We are preparing for the Unified State Exam in Chemistry, we have a year left, the current level is “zero minus”. | We can count on 70 - 75 points on the real exam (with intensive work throughout the year). |
| We want to pass the Unified State Exam in chemistry, at school we got a “real” B, we have a year left. | 80 - 90 points is an achievable result. |
| We dream of getting 100 points on the Unified State Exam in chemistry, we have two years ahead and a great desire to work. We do all our homework and work regularly. | The dream of 100 points can come true. |
| Six months before the Unified State Exam in mathematics, we even know the multiplication tables with uncertainty. Is it possible to pass the exam with at least the minimum score? | Yes, you can. You need to find a professional tutor and start working seriously. |
| A similar question for chemistry. | Of course it is possible. |
| There are two to three months before the exam. Zero knowledge. Is there anything to hope for? | You can only count on passing the Unified State Exam with a minimum score, and even then only under the condition of intensive work under the guidance of a top-class tutor. |
Let me remind you once again that these are guidelines only. Naturally, there are no guarantees in such forecasts and cannot be!
Create a lesson program
So, by the beginning of June you plan to confidently solve, for example, ten problems in the test. Currently you are able to complete 2-3 tasks. Take a piece of paper, a pen and try to sketch out a rough work plan: December will be devoted to tasks B1 and B4, January - B2 and B5, etc. If you are preparing for the Unified State Exam with a tutor, the situation will be simplified: he will have to draw up a plan and monitor its implementation. If you are preparing on your own, show your plan to your school teacher; Perhaps something will need to be adjusted.
It is likely that some changes will be made to the plan during preparation. This is normal.
Give yourself some extra time
It is important to understand that life makes its own adjustments to any plan. You may get sick, the exam may be postponed to an earlier date, it turns out that a topic that seemed very easy to you will, in fact, require more effort, etc.
You must allow for time reserve. Let's say you already know that the Unified State Exam in mathematics will take place on June 10. But you must be fully prepared by May 15th. If any problems arise, you can solve them in the remaining time. If no problems arise, you can once again repeat the material covered, or even work on more complex examples.
Check yourself periodically
Any preparation is meaningless if you do not constantly monitor the implementation of your plan. After each lesson, organize a short test for yourself. Check all completed tasks using the answers (but do not adjust them to the answer!) Periodically arrange a trial Unified State Exam for yourself: you can use collections of exam tests or materials from the Internet. The main thing is that the exam be as objective as possible. Don't look at textbooks, solve problems in an "exam setting", ask friends or parents to test you.
Your results should gradually improve. If progress is not observed, it is necessary to change the preparation system: use a different textbook, devote more time to classes, seek the help of a tutor.
Prepare for the Unified State Exam every day
I understand that today is a friend’s birthday, and tomorrow is an important test at school, and the day after tomorrow is New Year. Yesterday I had a headache, and the day before yesterday they promised a collision between the Earth and an asteroid (and why bother preparing for the Unified State Exam then?). No, friends, it won’t work that way! If you plan to exercise occasionally, once a week or even less often, I have to disappoint you: the effectiveness of such work tends to zero.
Daily exercises of 20 minutes are much more beneficial than one two-hour lesson once a week. Regularity of work is the basis of success. Let friends, holidays, social networks, football, TV wait until summer!
Preparing for the Unified State Exam is not just about solving tests
I would like to once again warn graduates against thoughtlessly using numerous “Collections of tests for preparing for the Unified State Exam.”
Firstly, the quality of most (if not most!) of these collections is not very high (this is putting it mildly!): there are a lot of factual errors, incorrect assignments, etc.
Secondly, even high-quality collections of this type do not replace textbooks, reference books, etc. These books, of course, have the right to exist, but only as an auxiliary element of teaching. You can use them to assess your initial level (see above), for periodic self-control during training.
The stupidest thing you can think of when preparing for the Unified State Exam is to simply “solve” (as some teachers like to say) an endless number of tests.
Preparing for the Unified State Exam (as well as for any other exam) means working on certain topics, on problems of certain types. Today you learn to solve quadratic equations, tomorrow you analyze equations with modules, the day after tomorrow you remember fractional rational equations, etc. You only need to move on to the next topic by fully mastering the previous one.
Obviously, collections of tests will not help you with such work. It is better to use regular school textbooks or specialized literature for those preparing for higher education.
The Unified State Exam is a centralized exam conducted in Russian educational institutions. Thanks to control measuring materials, it helps to assess the quality of students' preparation. In this article we will learn how to pass the Unified State Exam, which exams to take and how to get 100 points.
Since 2009, the Unified State Exam has been a form of final exams at a lyceum or school, as well as a form of entrance exams to universities. The list of compulsory disciplines is represented by mathematics and the Russian language. Other items are chosen at your discretion. This could be a foreign language, literature, computer science, physics, geography and others.
The number of optional subjects selected for delivery is not limited. When compiling a list of disciplines, students are guided by the requirements of the higher educational institution chosen for admission.
They take the Unified State Exam from May to June. The legislation provides for early and additional periods of delivery. The first occurs in April, and the second in July. Graduates of the current year who:
- Conscripted into the army;
- Going to a Russian or international Olympiad;
- Are sent for treatment abroad;
- They graduate from a Russian-language school in a country with a difficult climate.
The additional period provides for the passing of the Unified State Exam by foreign citizens, graduates of previous years, and graduates of primary vocational education.
On Russian territory, the conduct of the state exam is controlled by the Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Science and Education with the support of executive authorities of Russian constituent entities. If testing is carried out abroad, in addition to Rosobrnadzor, the founders of an educational institution that has passed state accreditation participate in the procedure.
The evaluation of the final certification results is based on a 100-point system. For each discipline, a minimum score level has been established, overcoming which confirms that the student has mastered the school educational program. Unified State Exam results are considered valid for 4 years following the year in which the student received them.
If the result of a participant in the final certification in a compulsory academic discipline does not reach the established minimum level, a retake is provided in an additional period. If the second pass was unsatisfactory, you are allowed to try your luck again, but in the fall. In the case of an elective subject, everything is more complicated. A certification participant who does not score the minimum number of points is forced to wait a year to retake the exam.
Important! State testing participants who are removed from the classroom for misconduct, cheating, or cell phone use are subject to severe penalties. Their results are canceled, as is the right to retake an additional period. Re-taking is allowed after a year. So there is no point in cheating in the exam.
How to pass the Unified State Exam if you don’t know anything
Pedagogical practice shows that schoolchildren, instead of preparing for exams, relax and chat with friends. In the old days, in the absence of knowledge, quickly made cheat sheets came to the rescue of lazy schoolchildren.
The introduction of the Unified State Exam has significantly complicated the procedure for passing state testing. Commission members closely monitor each student, and the use of cheat sheets and electronics is severely punished. How to successfully pass certification if during the preparatory period things did not come to study? I have some advice on this matter.
- If Judgment Day is still a few weeks away, start preparing. Use the services of a tutor and pay special attention to solving trial tasks. Learning the basics is the key to success if you don't know anything.
- If the test is in a few days and you don’t have time to study the material, skim the pages of the textbook. It is possible that at an important moment visual memory will come to the rescue. I talked about how to improve memory in one of the articles.
- When test day arrives, stay confident, grab your pass, passport, some pens and pencils, a ruler and eraser, and go. Also make sure that you have a bottle of mineral water and a chocolate bar in your backpack.
- Once in the classroom, choose a seat you like, sit comfortably at the table and take a few deep breaths. Don't worry. You attended classes throughout the year and probably something remained in your memory.
- After receiving the package with forms and assignments, slowly fill out the registration information. When the teachers give the go-ahead, get down to business. You have 4 hours at your disposal.
- Start with what you know. Having completed easy tasks, switch to more complex tasks. Even if there are difficulties with the decision, do not rush to leave the audience. Sit until the last minute. There are often cases when the correct answer comes at the last moment.
People who are well acquainted with the procedure for passing the final certification claim that many schoolchildren greatly exaggerate the complexity of the situation and lower their level of knowledge in their thoughts. It's all due to severe stress. If you strive to achieve a goal, curb your panic, calm down and get ready to work. This is the secret of success.
What Unified State Examinations are taken in 11th grade in 2019?
According to available information, to obtain a certificate in 2019, passing tests in 11th grade in mathematics and the Russian language is not enough. Now you need to pass an additional optional exam.
If you do not plan to study at university, opt for a simple school discipline.
The full list of subjects available for choice is presented in literature, chemistry, physics, history, geography, social studies, computer science and foreign languages.
Among the innovations in 2019 is the absence of a test part, with the exception of foreign languages. Therefore, prepare responsibly as the written exam is more difficult than the multiple choice test.
Rumors have appeared that in 2019, grades for the Unified State Exam will affect the marks on the certificate, either down or up. There are also plans to make the Russian language exam more difficult. This year, graduates will face more challenging assignments. As for the essay and its evaluation criteria, there are no changes provided.
The list of the most popular exams in universities is represented by the exact sciences, including computer science, chemistry and physics. This is due to a shortage of qualified engineers in the country and a surplus of economists and financiers.
Periodically visit the portal of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements. Documents related to passing the Unified State Exam are regularly published here. There is also a table of changes that will help you get a complete impression of the innovations.
Which Unified State Exams do you need to take for admission to universities?
It is impossible to enter an institute or university without a certificate of passing the Unified State Exam. It is important that a graduate planning to become a student at one of the universities must pass exams to enroll. In this part of the material I will consider several popular areas and help in choosing school subjects to take. And remember that mathematics and Russian are compulsory.
- If you are planning to enter a medical school, prepare to take the Unified State Exam in chemistry and biology. Dentists need to pass a physics exam. Some universities require a foreign language test.
- Those who want to study to become a psychologist need to pass an exam in biology, which is considered a major subject. Depending on the chosen direction, sometimes you need Unified State Examination results in a foreign language. It all depends on the university.
- If you see yourself as a teacher, prepare to take the relevant subject. In particular, to enroll in physics and mathematics, in addition to the main exams, you need physics. For a chemist-biologist, there is a test in chemistry and biology, and so on.
- There are many faculties available to graduates who want to study at Moscow State University. For example, if you choose the department of “Recreational Geography and Tourism”, take the Unified State Exam in Geography, and the department of “Philosophy” will require natural science.
- MIPT also has requirements. To enter this university you need computer science or physics. It all depends on the direction chosen by the graduate.
- Educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have special requirements for applicants. They give preference to graduates who have passed the Unified State Exam in social studies, history, physics or biology, depending on the field. Each graduate will also have to pass sports standards.
- For those who want to become a student at the Military Space Academy, I recommend concentrating on preparing to take the Unified State Exam in physics. Without this major subject, as well as without sports standards, the university will not accept you.
In conclusion, I would like to add that each educational institution has its own requirements for the Unified State Examination results. If you have already decided on the university and faculty, contact the admissions committee for detailed information. This will protect you from a life-changing mistake.
What you need to know to pass the Unified State Exam with 100 points
Graduates seeking to enter the university prepare to take the Unified State Exam with all responsibility. Many aim to achieve 100 marks in all subjects. It is not surprising, because the maximum score indicates that the graduate has knowledge from the school curriculum at the highest level. Such results open the way to any of the universities.
Many people believe that it is impossible to pass the Unified State Exam with 100 points. In reality this is not the case. With timely and proper preparation, any student has the opportunity to pass tests and get the highest score.
Let's look at the nuances of pre-exam preparation. This set of simple recommendations will help you pass the Unified State Exam with 100 points in the following subjects: social studies, biology, history, Russian and foreign languages, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Let's get started.
- Stock up on textbooks for the subjects you have chosen to take from sixth to eleventh grade. During preparation, pay special attention to the topics that cause the most difficulty.
- Study the exam questions to get an idea of the questions you will face in the exam. Keep a diary, make a preparation schedule. For each item of your plan, allocate enough time to study the material in depth.
- Take notes. When reading textbooks, write down basic concepts and terms. Drawings and diagrams will increase the efficiency of memorization. Between the outlined topics, leave free space to record new or additional information on important issues.
- Teachers like it when students talk. Learn to give detailed answers, give arguments, give explanations, use terms. Meaningful answers will increase your chances of receiving the highest score.
- Visualize new information. As practice shows, cramming is a pointless waste of time. Delve into the topic you are studying, take advantage of associative memory, and imagine images.
- Get a test guide for your chosen subjects and spend a lot of time working on them. Self-study will help you master the material and hone your skills in solving standard problems.
- Start preparing early. Regardless of the subject you choose, you will have to study a huge amount of information. It takes time to master such a volume. Start preparing at least a year in advance. To improve the quality of knowledge, I advise you to use the services of a tutor or sign up for thematic courses.
- Harness time. A certain amount of time is allocated for testing in school subjects. Complete all tasks if you take into account the time frame. At the same time, in pursuit of 100 points, you will have to solve problems quickly and correctly. To improve your skills, I recommend using the demo version of the Unified State Exam on the department’s website.
If you have set a goal of 100 points in all subjects, be prepared for labor-intensive and lengthy preparation. The recommendations outlined will make your life easier and will be a good help.
Answers on questions
Do I need to take the Unified State Exam after college or technical school?
At the initial stage of its introduction, the Unified State Exam evoked a lot of different emotions among college and technical school graduates. This is justified by state testing receiving the status of entrance exams to Russian higher educational institutions. What does it mean?
Having a certificate of passing the final certification opens the way to any university if the test results meet the requirements established by the university. People who graduated from school before 2009 do not have such a document. And if they continued their studies at a college or technical school, after graduation they are interested in whether they need to pass the Unified State Exam to enter a university? The further development of the situation has two scenarios.
- A graduate of a college or technical school who wishes to continue studying at a university in accordance with the specialty received will not have to pass the state exam. To enroll in a university, it is enough to pass a specialized exam.
- If a student received one specialty in college or technical school, and at the university wants to master another profession, there are two ways to solve the problem. The first involves passing the Unified State Exam, and the second involves passing entrance exams, as was the case before.
The introduction of new rules deprived graduates of technical schools and colleges of some advantages that help them to be guaranteed admission to university. But having a diploma from a secondary educational institution still gives the student more confidence.
How to pass the Unified State Exam for a graduate of previous years
There are often cases when a desire to undergo state certification arises from a graduate who graduated from school in previous years. This is good, because it is never too late to get a higher education diploma. In this part of the material we will talk about the intricacies of passing the Unified State Exam by graduates of previous years.
Passing the Unified State Exam for a former graduate has a peculiarity - you do not have to take compulsory subjects, except in cases where mathematics and Russian are needed for enrollment in the chosen specialty.
Graduates of previous years take the Unified State Exam ahead of schedule or along with the main wave. To do this, an application to take the exam is submitted in advance to the municipal education authority, indicating the main and additional disciplines, a passport and a certificate.
In addition to personal information, if you have studied for a long time, the application indicates the name of the completed educational institution, details, form of study and date of receipt of the diploma. Graduates from other countries who wish to continue their studies at a Russian university must present a foreign passport, the original document of education with a certified translation from a foreign language.
