Scattering by tasks
Below I will give the "cost" of each task performed.
For the correct completion of each task first part (except tasks 1, 7, 15 and 24) the examiner receives 1 point each. For an incorrect answer or its absence, 0 points are set.
For completing tasks 1 and 15, from 0 to 2 points can be set.
The answer is considered correct if it contains all the numbers from the standard and there are no other numbers.
Task 7 can be assigned from 0 to 5 points.
For each correctly indicated digit corresponding to the number from the list, the examinee receives 1 point (5 points: no errors; 4 points: one mistake was made; 3 points: two mistakes were made; 2 points: two numbers are correctly indicated; 1 point: correctly indicated only one number 0 points: completely wrong answer, i.e. wrong sequence of numbers or none.
Task 24 can be assigned from 0 to 4 points. The answer is considered correct if it contains all the numbers from the standard and there are no other numbers.
The maximum number of points that an examinee can receive if he correctly completed the task second part , is 24 points.
For the correct completion of all tasks of the examination paper, you can get the maximum 57 primary points .
At the end of May, 11th grade graduates will face a rather difficult test - USE in Russian language 2017. This exam is considered mandatory, the same as mathematics, so everyone will have to take it without exception. To date, the main task for eleventh graders is timely preparation for the test so that the certificate is not spoiled by a bad grade. In addition, a high score for the Unified State Examination in the Russian language opens the door to the most prestigious universities in the country for the future applicant.
Most students, assuming that tests in the Russian language are not as difficult as mathematics or physics, are completely unprepared for the subject and, as a result, receive insufficient high scores. It must be remembered that the exam covers not only materials for grade 11, but also topics from previous years of study. In addition, the exam includes such tasks that require extraordinary thinking. As you can see, the Russian language is not such an easy subject, and given the future, predicted for 2017, it will become even more difficult.
What should be prepared for?
The fact that tests in the Russian language are waiting for a number of innovations has been said more than once. For many years, scientists and teachers have been developing an optimal knowledge testing system that could reflect the real knowledge of students. In 2017, it is planned to introduce an oral part in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language. This has already been stated by Lyudmila Verbitskaya (head of the Russian Academy of Education).
At this stage, all the necessary transformations have already been developed. It remains only to understand how to rationally use them in this.
Until 2017, all students of general education schools took the Russian language in writing. The test form that was in the forms is, of course, a good thing, but it is not able to reflect the real knowledge of graduates, because they can simply guess the answer. But what about punctuation or spelling? Tests are not able to thoroughly show the literacy of the student.
The oral exam will help to identify gaps in knowledge, the ability to accurately express one's thoughts, put sentences out of words and lead a narrative that is understandable to examiners.
In our time, the correct staging of speech is extremely important, especially in sectors of the economy. Any leader should be able to formulate tasks for subordinates, be able to express thoughts and convey their ideas to others. Just for this, every student must learn spelling, as well as learn the basics of oratory.
The oral block is far from all the changes that await the Russian language exam. In the upcoming 2017, officials intend to introduce a grading system for a control essay. Recall that at the moment for the manifestation creativity and the ability to logically build their own thoughts, the student received simply “pass” or “fail”.
Lyudmila Verbitskaya considers this an unfair approach, especially for those students who can show the level of their knowledge through an essay. Only the introduction of a clear assessment scale will help to clearly recognize the level of preparedness of the student and form a clear objective view of the exam.
Dates
Early exams will begin on May 25, 2017. Just during this period, eleventh-graders will be able to pass the Russian language. The main tests are scheduled for May 30. Retake for those who “flunked” the subject or want to increase their grade, there will be an opportunity to take the second exam on June 27th. The reserve days are April 15 and September 24.
Conducting the exam in the Russian language
To cope with all the tasks, students are given an hour. In the allotted time, it is necessary to solve all two blocks, which include 24 questions. The first block consists of questions that must be answered numerically or verbally. On the second form, students must write an essay on a given topic.
Evaluation scale
Back in 2015, for this test, you could get a “pass / fail”. Since 2016, points have appeared, the amount of which depended on the number of correct answers. From the table below, you can find out the exact number of points that you can get for a particular question.
The second part of the exam requires the student to show creativity and fluency in Russian. Note that essays are evaluated in a special way, so the examiner will not be surprised by grammar alone.
For a correctly completed second part of the exam, the student can earn 25 points. In general, for two blocks, the graduate will earn 57 points, to which points are added according to other criteria. Given that the knowledge assessment system is 100 points, in order to understand what grade a student has earned, it is enough to refer to this scheme:
- 0 - 24 - "two"
- 25 - 57 - "troika"
- 58 - 71 - "four"
- from 72 - “five”
Note that the minimum number of points for admission to a university is only 36 points, but to obtain a certificate it is enough to score 24 points.
Materials for preparing for the exam in the Russian language
Now a mass of literature is published annually, which helps future graduates prepare for the exam. In addition, for general access on the official website of FIPI, a lot of additional materials, namely:
- Demo version of the exam
- Task forms
- Training compilations
- Video consultations
Among the most optimal literature for preparation, it is worth highlighting the manual from the author Tsybulko I.P.
