III. Assessment of examination work

The correct answer, depending on the complexity of each task, is awarded one or more points. The points received for all completed tasks are summed up.

Each correct answer in the tasks of part 1 (A) brings 1 primary point. If two or more answers are indicated (including the correct one), an incorrect answer or no answer, 0 points are given.

For the correct answer to tasks B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, 1 point is given, for an incorrect answer or no answer - 0 points.

The results of parts 1 and 2 are processed automatically.
Part 3 assignment © is checked by two independent experts. If the experts disagree in their assessment of the work, a third expert is appointed.

The maximum number of primary points for the entire work is 64 (100 test points).

Ahead 2018-2019 academic year which will be a graduation for many Russian schoolchildren, who today are already concerned about the successful passage of the Unified State Exam and successful admission to a good university.

We will tell you how exam papers are checked in different subjects, how the scale for converting Unified State Exam points into grades works, and what innovations you can expect in 2019.

Principles for assessing work on the Unified State Exam 2019

Over the course of several recent years Unified State Exam system in a number of subjects has undergone significant changes and has been brought to an optimal (in the opinion of the organizers) format, which makes it possible to fully assess the volume of knowledge of a graduate in a particular subject.

In 2018-2019, no fundamental changes are expected and it is safe to say that the same principles as in 2017-2018 will be applied to evaluate the work of graduates:

  1. automated verification of forms;
  2. involving experts in checking tasks with detailed answers.

How does a computer evaluate?

The first part of the examination paper involves a short answer to the questions posed, which the Unified State Examination participant must enter on a special answer form.

Important! Before starting work, be sure to read the rules for filling out the form, as incorrectly completed work will not pass the automated check.

It is quite difficult to challenge the result of a computer check. If the work was not counted due to the fault of a participant who filled out the form incorrectly, the result is considered unsatisfactory.

How do experts rate it?

In many subjects, in addition to the test part, there are tasks that require a full, detailed answer. Since it is impossible to automate the process of checking such answers, experts are involved in the verification - experienced teachers with extensive work experience.

When checking the Unified State Exam, the teacher does not know (and even with a strong desire cannot find out) whose work is in front of him and in which city (region) it was written. Testing is carried out on the basis of uniform assessment criteria developed specifically for each subject. Each work is checked by two experts. If the experts’ opinions coincide, the assessment is put on the form, but if independent appraisers disagree, then a third expert is involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.

That is why it is important to write legibly and accurately so that there is no ambiguous interpretation of words and phrases.

Primary and test scores

Based on the test results, the Unified State Exam participant is awarded a certain number of primary points, which are then converted into text points (points for the entire test). Different subjects have different maximum primary points, depending on the number of tasks. But after giving the result according to the appropriate table, the Unified State Examination participant receives a final test score, which is the official result of his final tests (maximum 100 points).

So, in order to pass the exam, it is enough to achieve the established minimum threshold of the primary score:

Minimum scores

primary

test

Russian language

Mathematics (profile)

Computer science

Social science

Foreign languages

Biology

Geography

Literature

Based on these numbers, you can accurately understand that the exam has been passed. But what grade? The 2018 online scale will help you with this, designed specifically for converting primary Unified State Exam scores into test scores, which will also be relevant for the 2019 results. A convenient calculator can be found on the website 4ege.ru.

Announcement of official results

Graduates are always concerned with the question of how quickly they can find out what result was obtained during the test and what the scale for converting the points scored on the Unified State Exam into traditional grades will be in 2019.

Teachers often take it upon themselves to reassure students by working through the tasks of the Unified State Exam tickets immediately after the exam and assessing the quality of the students’ work and the amount of initial points scored. Official results must be waited for 8-14 days, according to the established regulations for the Unified State Exam 2019. On average, organizers approve the following inspection schedules:

  • 3 days to check the work;
  • 5-6 days for processing information at the federal level;
  • 1 working day for approval of the results of the State Examination;
  • 3 days to post results online and transfer data to educational institutions.

In the event of unforeseen situations and technical problems, these deadlines may be revised.

You can find out your owl score:

  • directly at your school;
  • on the portal check.ege.edu.ru;
  • on the website gosuslugi.ru.

Converting points to grades

Since 2009, Unified State Examination results are not included in the graduate certificate. Therefore, today there is no official state system converting the Unified State Examination result into a grade on a school 5-point scale. As part of the entrance campaign, the test score obtained in the exam is always summed up and taken into account. But many students are still interested in finding out how they passed the exam - 3 or 4, 4 or 5. For this, there is a special table that details the correspondence for each of the 100 points in each subject.

Estimates Using such a table is quite inconvenient. It is much easier to find out how you passed the Russian language, mathematics or history by using the online calculator 4ege.ru, which also contains a scale for converting Unified State Exam scores, which is relevant for graduates of 2019.

Having received the Unified State Exam result, you should decide on a university as quickly as possible, comparing your capabilities with the real competition for the specialties you are interested in. Thus, the practice of past years shows that in some cases it is difficult to get into the most popular areas in the capital’s universities even with high scores, because not only holders of 100-point scores will compete for places Unified State Exam results, and also winners of the largest Olympiads of the 2018-2019 academic year.

There is no maximum number of words in an essay. If the essay contains less than 250 words (all words, including function words, are included in the calculation), then a “failure” is given for failure to fulfill requirement No. 1 and a “failure” for the work as a whole (such an essay is not checked against the evaluation criteria).


Requirement No. 2. “Independence in writing the final essay”

The final essay is completed independently. It is not allowed to copy an essay (fragments of an essay) from any source or reproduce someone else’s text from memory (the work of another participant, a text published in paper and (or) electronic form, etc.).

Direct or indirect quotation is allowed with a mandatory link to the source (the link is given in free form). The volume of citations should not exceed the volume own text participant.

If the essay is recognized as not independent, then a “failure” is given for failure to fulfill requirement No. 2 and a “failure” for the work as a whole (such an essay is not checked against the assessment criteria).

The final essay that meets the established requirements is assessed according to five criteria:

  1. “Relevance to the topic”;
  2. “Argumentation. Attracting literary material";
  3. “Composition and logic of reasoning”;
  4. “Quality of written speech”;
  5. "Literacy".


To receive a “pass” for the final essay, you must receive a “pass” for criteria No. 1 and No. 2 (giving a “fail” for one of these criteria automatically leads to a “failure” for the work as a whole), as well as an additional “pass” for one from other criteria.

Criterion No. 1 “Relevance to the topic”

This criterion aims to check the content of the essay.

The participant must reason on the proposed topic, choosing the way to reveal it (for example, answer the question posed in the topic, or reflect on the proposed problem, etc.).

“Fail” is given only if the essay does not correspond to the topic or does not show the specific purpose of the statement, that is, the communicative intent. In all other cases, a “credit” is given.

Criterion No. 2 “Argumentation. Attracting literary material"

This criterion aims to test the ability to use literary material ( works of art, diaries, memoirs, journalism, works of oral folk art (with the exception of small genres), other literary sources) to argue their position.

The participant must build an argument, using at least one work of domestic or world literature for argumentation, choosing his own path of using literary material; at the same time, it can show a different level of understanding of a literary text: from elements of semantic analysis (for example, themes, issues, plot, characters, etc.) to comprehensive analysis works in the unity of form and content and its interpretation in terms of the chosen topic.

“Fail” is given if the essay was written without the use of literary material or the content of the work is significantly distorted, or literary works are only mentioned in the work, without becoming a basis for argumentation. In all other cases, a “credit” is given.

Criterion No. 3 “Composition and logic of reasoning”

This criterion aims to test the ability to logically construct a reasoning on the proposed topic. The participant must maintain a balance between thesis and evidence.

A “failure” is given if gross logical violations interfere with understanding the meaning of what was said or if the thesis and evidence part is missing. In all other cases, a “credit” is given.

Criterion No. 4 “Quality of written speech”

This criterion aims to check the speech format of the text of the essay.

The participant must express thoughts accurately, using a variety of vocabulary and various grammatical structures, and, if necessary, use terms appropriately.

A “failure” is given if the low quality of speech (including speech errors) significantly complicates understanding the meaning of the essay. In all other cases, a “credit” is given.

Criterion No. 5 “Literacy”

This criterion allows you to assess the graduate’s literacy.

“Fail” is given if there are a total of more than five errors per 100 words: grammatical, spelling, punctuation.

The essay is assessed according to ten criteria and taking into account its volume and independence.

Criteria No. 1 and No. 2 are the main ones.

If, when checking an essay according to criterion No. 1 or No. 2, 0 points are given, then the essay is not checked further: 0 points are given for all other criteria.
