Since 2015, the Unified State Examination in mathematics has been divided into two levels: basic and specialized. The profile-level USE is intended for graduates planning to enter technical and economic universities and subsequently study higher mathematics.
If a graduate does not pass a specialized exam, passing the Unified State Exam at a basic level is mandatory! Without a positive grade for this exam, it is impossible to obtain a school certificate.
Naturally, the exam versions of the basic and specialized levels differ greatly both in the level of complexity of the proposed tasks and in their topics. The basic level assumes familiarity with the basic concepts of algebra, geometry, and arithmetic at the school “four” level. Among the profile-level tasks, there are serious tasks (for example, parametric ones) that require knowledge that goes beyond the scope of the school curriculum.
The basic level version of the Unified State Exam in mathematics includes 20 questions that require only a short numerical answer. The student is not required to provide a complete solution and is not required to justify the answer. For each correctly solved task you can get 1 primary point. Thus, the maximum primary the score is 20.
The scores obtained are converted to "traditional" grades according to the table below. So, for example, a graduate who scores 14 primary points receives a “good” grade.
Unified State Examination in mathematics (basic level). Scale for converting primary scores into grades
Please note: a student who scores less than 7 points receives an “unsatisfactory” grade for the exam. In this case, the Unified State Examination in mathematics will have to be taken again, otherwise the graduate risks being left without a certificate.
The table below was used in the 2015 Unified State Exam in Mathematics. The likelihood of any changes in 2016 is low, but the situation will finally become clear after the exam. It is too early to make any forecasts for 2017.
The video course “Get an A” includes all the topics necessary to successfully pass the Unified State Exam in mathematics with 60-65 points. Completely all tasks 1-13 of the Profile Unified State Exam in mathematics. Also suitable for passing the Basic Unified State Examination in mathematics. If you want to pass the Unified State Exam with 90-100 points, you need to solve part 1 in 30 minutes and without mistakes!
Preparation course for the Unified State Exam for grades 10-11, as well as for teachers. Everything you need to solve Part 1 of the Unified State Exam in mathematics (the first 12 problems) and Problem 13 (trigonometry). And this is more than 70 points on the Unified State Exam, and neither a 100-point student nor a humanities student can do without them.

A basis for solving complex problems of Part 2 of the Unified State Exam.
How many tasks do you need to complete to get a certain score on the Unified State Exam? This question can be answered using a special scales for converting primary scores into test scores.
The scale indicates the correspondence between the primary and test scores.
Primary points- This preliminary points before being transferred to a 100-point scale (for example, in the Russian language you can score 2 primary points for task No. 1, and 1 primary point for task No. 2). You can view the distribution of points for tasks in this article. Raw scores are converted to test scores.
Test scores- This final points after conversion to a 100-point scale, with which applicants enter the university. For one item you can get no more than 100 test points.

Computer Science and ICT – 35 (0)
;
Literature – 42 (0)
;
Geography – 47 (-4)
.
The change in primary scores compared to 2015 is indicated in parentheses.
If the number of primary points does not change, then the scale for transferring points remains unchanged. Therefore, we can say that the scale according to social studies, physics, biology, chemistry, foreign languages, computer science And literature for 2016 it is 100% accurate. The greatest ambiguity is the scale for mathematics, because in 2015 this year scale taken “out of thin air”, it defies any logic; It is unclear what the math scale will look like in 2016.
Scale for converting points into grades according to mathematics (basic level) is presented below:
The transfer of Unified State Examination points is made after the primary result is calculated; based on the approved scale, it is converted into test scores.
They play an important role when entering a university and are recorded in the exam certificate.
Those who are finishing 11th grade and preparing to enter a university are especially interested in learning how the Unified State Exam score is translated.
Hundreds of thousands of students undergo this procedure every year. To obtain a certificate, it is enough to pass only two subjects - mathematics and Russian language.
The remaining subjects - and there are 14 in total - are taken on a voluntary basis, depending on the chosen university.
In order for the results to be displayed in the certificate, the graduate must score more than the established minimum.
How are the Unified State Exam results assessed?
The exam results are assessed by a commission and translated into a 100-point system.
There is an algorithm for converting these amounts into more familiar estimates. This method has not been officially used since 2009.
But if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with the scale for converting Unified State Examination grades.
The results are assessed in two stages:
- Based on the number of tasks completed, the student is given a primary score. It consists of the sum for all tasks completed correctly;
- Next, the primary Unified State Exam scores are converted to test scores. This figure is recorded in the Unified State Examination certificate and plays an important role for admission to a university. Below is a translation table for the math exam.
Important: The scale was developed taking into account the complexity of the tasks.
Up-to-date information on the Unified State Exam can always be obtained on the portal http://ege.edu.ru/ru.
What is the minimum score?
To receive a Unified State Exam certificate, a student must score above the established minimum limit in Russian language and mathematics.
It is determined annually for each individual subject. In fact, the minimum grade is the equivalent of a C.
This result reflects that the student has satisfactorily mastered the curriculum.
Minimum score:
- Determines the issuance of a certificate of passing the Unified State Exam.
- It is established for each subject annually after passing the exam and before the results are published.
At the end of 2016, to obtain a certificate it was necessary to obtain at least 36 test points in the Russian language.
In mathematics this limit is 3, and in the specialized level - 27.
The difference between primary scores and test scores
When assessing the results of passing the exam, the primary amount is first set. Then these USE 2017 scores are converted into test scores.
They are determined on a 100-point scale. This score will appear on the Unified State Examination certificate if it is higher than the minimum.
When calculating points, the algorithm is as follows:
- For each correctly completed task, one or more points are awarded.
- At the end, the amount for all the work is calculated.
- The primary Unified State Exam scores are being translated.
Regarding test scores, they are calculated on a 100-point system. But the amount of primary may differ for different items.
For example, in mathematics you can get 30 primary points, and for foreign languages this limit is 80.
The assessment of the task depends on its complexity. For tasks in Part B, one primary point is awarded for the correct answer.
For part C, there are several options: for tasks 1 and 2, 2 primary points are awarded; the correct answer to question 3 and 4 immediately gives 3, and tasks 5 and 6 will add 4 points to the student’s result.
Unified State Exam scores and grades
Although there is an approximate scale for converting Unified State Exam scores into grades that are familiar to all students, starting from 2009 this system has not been used.
The refusal to convert to grades is due to the fact that the sum of points does not affect the indicator in the certificate. It is recorded in a separate certificate.
If a student scores less than the minimum in one of the required subjects, he will not be issued a certificate or certificate.
If this is a subject that is taken on a voluntary basis, the result simply will not be counted anywhere.
If the exam results result in an unsatisfactory grade, what should I do? It all depends on what subject.
- If the number of points scored is below the minimum in mathematics or in the Russian language, you can retake the exam in the same year on one of the reserve days.
- When an unsatisfactory grade is received in both subjects at once, a retake is possible only the next year.
- If you fail to score enough points in an optional subject, you can only retake the exam next year. An unsatisfactory result will not be reflected in any document. In fact, everything will look as if the graduate did not take this exam at all.
Depending on the subject, retaking is possible either in the same year on reserve days or in the next year.
Thus, if a student fails Basic Level Mathematics, he or she can take advantage of reserve days.
And if a low grade was obtained based on the results of a profile level, a retake will be possible only after a year.
What to do if a graduate does not agree with the assessment
If a graduate is confident that his work deserves a higher grade, he has the right to appeal.
In such a situation, the work will be reconsidered by the conflict commission.
There are two possible outcomes. When a grade appears to be too low, the student can either have points added or deducted.
Important: According to the results of the Unified State Examination in 2010, of all the appeals filed, the third part was satisfied.
The first two parts of the exam are tested without human intervention. The possibility of errors cannot be ruled out.
This may be due to illegible handwriting and similar circumstances.
If it appears that the grade is too low, students will appeal.
What does the exam consist of?
The general text of the task consists of three parts.
- Part A is designed as a test. Of the four proposed answer options, the graduate must choose one correct one.
- In Part B, the following types of tasks are possible: writing a one-word answer, choosing several correct options, or establishing correspondences.
- In Part C, the student is asked to give a detailed answer to the question.
Depending on the type of task, the verification process differs. The first two parts are checked automatically. Answers are scanned by the system and scored.
This process takes place without human intervention. Upon completion of the test, the results are sent to the testing center located in Moscow.
Part C is assessed by two independent experts. If the results coincide, this total is displayed.
If a minor discrepancy is found after evaluation, the average result is displayed.
If there is noticeable inconsistency, a third specialist is appointed.
After the verification is completed, all data is sent to a single testing center. There they are processed and recorded in the database.
From there they are sent to schools where the exam was held.
How Unified State Exam results affect university admission
In order to apply for admission to a university, graduates need to pass the Unified State Exam.
In total, you can apply to 5 universities, in each of them no more than three specialties.
The application is prepared in writing and delivered in person or sent by mail.
If the second option is chosen, you will need to issue a registered letter with a list of the attachments, as well as a receipt.
To find out whether the application was approved, you need to go to the official website of the university.
When the acceptance of documents is completed, a list of those applying for enrollment is posted there. Their results of passing the Unified State Exam are also given there.
Enrollment takes place in two waves.
- When the first list is published, several days are allotted for applicants to provide the originals of their documents (in most cases they send copies).
- If the deadline for submitting documents has expired, but there are still free places, a second list is prepared.
To enroll in a university, you will need the following package of documents:
- application requesting admission;
- certified copies of the certificate and identity document;
- a form with a list of points scored based on the Unified State Examination results;
- photographs (their size and number are established by the university rules).
Other documents may also be required from the applicant. For detailed information, please contact the university of interest.
The transfer of Unified State Exam points in 2017 is carried out according to the same system as in previous years.
To pass the exam, you must score at least the minimum number of points, which is established for each subject annually.
To receive a certificate and a certificate with the results of the Unified State Exam, you need to exceed this limit in compulsory subjects.
