Minimum test score.

In order to understand what chances a graduate has of entering the chosen university, it is worth distinguishing primary score And test score Unified State Examination results in English.

The primary score is the total number of points scored during the test (maximum 80 for both parts). Then the primary result is recalculated into a test result using a 100-point system. For this purpose, a specially established translation scale is used, which takes into account not only the number, but also the complexity of the questions to which the correct answer was given. Passing scores for admission to a higher educational institution are indicated on a 100-point scale, that is, in test scores, and they will also be reflected in the certificate issued to the student after the exam.

Oddly enough, the Unified State Exam in a foreign language has the lowest passing threshold. To receive a “satisfactory” grade in other disciplines, you must score minimum score 27 to 42, for a “C” in English, French, German or Spanish, only 22 points will be enough. Of course, this is not enough for admission to language universities and linguistic specialties, but there is no single table here; each educational institution has its own requirements for the required level of language proficiency. Passing scores on the English Unified State Examination will vary depending on the chosen specialty, but most likely, to enter most universities you will need to get at least a “B” or even an “A”.

Since 2015, the Unified State Examination in English and other languages ​​consists of five blocks, rather than four. The fifth part - Speaking - is not compulsory, but it accounts for 20% of the mark. If a student passes only four blocks, in the best case scenario he will maximum test score on the English Unified State Examination will be 80, while the “five” starts from 84 points.

Unified State Examination in English, points:

• "Great"— 84-100 points
• "Fine"— 59-83 points
• "Satisfactorily"— 22-58 points.
• If the examinee scores less than 22 points, the test is not counted.

Judging by the statistics, passing the exam is not as difficult as many graduates think. The results of the Unified State Exam in English become known only in June.

Every graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare for the Unified State Exam 2018 and score the maximum possible points. What does it mean to “pass the exam well” and how many points will be enough to compete for a budget place in a particular university? This will be discussed in this article.

We will cover the following important questions:

First of all, it is important to understand that there is:

• the minimum score giving the right to receive a certificate;
• the minimum score that allows you to apply to a university;
• the minimum score sufficient for actual admission to the budget in a specific specialty at a certain university in Russia.

Naturally, these figures differ significantly.

Minimum certification score

The minimum USE certification scores are established for compulsory subjects - Russian language and basic level mathematics and in 2018 are:

Having passed this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to submit documents to the university.

Minimum test score

The test minimum is a threshold value that gives the right to enter a university. In other words, persons who have passed the test threshold theoretically have the right to compete for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly ranked universities with minimal indicators.

In 2018, in all subjects except Russian language and basic mathematics, the minimum Unified State Exam test scores coincide with the certification scores and are:

The principle of calculating success in passing the unified state exam assumes that the test taker must demonstrate a high, average or sufficient level of knowledge, corresponding to grades “5”, “4” and “3” on the school scale.

In case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing with a score that the examinee considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to retake the Unified State Exam.

Minimum score for admission to the budget

Most universities announce the threshold score required for applicants for a budget place. This allows each applicant to realistically assess the prospects for admission and choose universities and specialties taking into account the points scored on the Unified State Exam.

In 2018, we can be guided by the fact that last season the average passing scores in all Unified State Exam subjects among applicants admitted to MGIMO and other highly ranked universities in the capital fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for most regional universities in the Russian Federation, 65-75 points can be considered a competitive result.

Converting the primary score to the resulting score

By completing the tasks proposed in the Unified State Examination ticket, the examinee gains so-called primary points, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When assessing the level of knowledge, such primary scores are converted into final scores, which are entered into the certificate and are the basis for admission.

Using an online calculator, you can compare primary and test scores in subjects of interest.

Just like last year, in 2018 the points scored while passing the Unified State Exam influence the certificate score and, although the official table for comparing test scores and traditional assessments has not been adopted, you can roughly compare your scores right now using a universal calculator.

Passing scores of the top 10 universities in Russia

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties at the same university may vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants admitted to the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a kind of guideline for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.

The minimum passing score is influenced by many factors, including:

1. the total number of graduates who applied and the scores shown on their certificates;
2. the number of applicants who provided original documents;
3. number of beneficiaries.

So, seeing your name in 20th place in the list of a specialty that provides 40 budget places, you can confidently consider yourself a student. But, even if you find yourself on this list of 45, there is no reason to be upset if among those standing in front of you there are 5-10 people who provided copies of documents, because most likely these people are set on another university and submitted documents for this specialty as a backup option .

The points received on the OGE and recalculated into a five-point system affect the grades in the certificate in the corresponding subject. The certificate contains the average between the mark received on the OGE and the annual mark in the subject. Rounding is carried out according to the rules of mathematics, that is, 3.5 is rounded to 4, and 4.5 to 5. In addition, the results of the OGE of students can be used for admission to specialized classes of secondary school.

Graduates can find out their grades for the exam at their school after the work has been checked and the results have been approved.

FIPI draws the attention of teachers and school leaders to the fact that the scales for converting primary scores into marks on a five-point scale for the OGE are of a RECOMMENDATIONAL NATURE.
