Translation of primary scores in biology exam. Translation of USE scores: A detailed description of the assessment system. How are the results of the exam evaluated

In 2015 USE year in mathematics for the first time passed at two levels - basic and specialized. According to the results of the exam, it was noted that schoolchildren cope worse with tasks that require a detailed answer than with tasks with short answers, which is understandable - after all, apart from right decision in these tasks it is also necessary to show the ability to correctly formulate thoughts and state the course of the solution, which requires additional training from the student. Despite the fact that with planimetric tasks, schoolchildren this year at the exam profile level coped a little better than in the previous one, yet the geometric component of student training remains at a lower level than the algebraic one, which causes difficulties in solving practical stereometric problems. Also, many difficulties are caused by tasks for mathematical analysis, as in previous years.

In general, some improvement in the results of the exam was achieved due to the fact that there was a separation of students with different levels of mathematical training and motivation, and weaknesses and knowledge gaps were found in those who have a good level of knowledge in mathematics. This will allow teachers to pay more attention to these points when preparing for next year's exam.

After analyzing the received USE results, the developers of KIMs excluded two tasks with short answers from the USE tasks in 2016 - a task of a practical orientation and a task for stereometry. At the same time, the time for completing assignments remained the same, which will allow more time to be devoted to solving complex problems with a detailed answer, because in the 2015 exam, many students did not have enough time for these particular tasks, successful execution which have a much greater impact on exam results.

Below is a scale for the conversion of primary USE scores in mathematics 2015 at the profile level. On its basis, an approximate scale for the transfer of primary USE scores in mathematics 2016 was compiled, which you can focus on when preparing for the upcoming exam, while not forgetting that it is only approximate and may differ from the scale by which the results will actually be evaluated.

The minimum threshold for admission to universities and obtaining a certificate:
the minimum primary score is 6, the minimum test score - 27.

The transfer of USE scores 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 certificate of passing the exam.

Those who finish the 11th grade and are preparing to enter a university are especially interested in learning how the transfer is carried out scoring USE.

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.

The rest of the subjects - and a total of 14 of them - are taken on a voluntary basis, depending on the chosen university.

In order for the results to be displayed in the certificate, the graduate needs to score more than the established minimum points.

How are the results of the exam evaluated

The results of the exam are evaluated by the commission and translated into a 100-point system.

There is an algorithm for converting these amounts into more familiar estimates. Officially, this method has not been used since 2009.

But if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with the scale for transferring USE marks.

The evaluation of the results is carried out in two stages:

  • by the number of completed tasks, the student is given a primary score. It consists of the sum for all tasks performed correctly;
  • then the primary USE scores are translated into test scores. This number is fixed in USE certificate and plays an important role in university admissions. Below is a translation table for the math exam.

Important: the scale is designed taking into account the complexity of the tasks.

Up-to-date information on the exam can always be obtained on the portal http://ege.edu.ru/ru.

What is the minimum score

To receive a USE certificate, a student needs to score more than the established minimum limit in Russian and mathematics.

It is determined annually for each individual subject. In fact, the minimum score is the equivalent of a three.

This result reflects that the student has satisfactorily mastered the curriculum.

Minimum score:

  1. Determines the issuance of a certificate of passing the exam.
  2. It is set for each subject annually after passing the exam and before the results are published.

At the end of 2016, in order 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 profile level - 27.

The difference between primary scores and test scores

When evaluating the results of passing the exam, the primary amount is first set. Then these USE 2017 scores are transferred to test scores.

They are determined on a 100-point scale. This score will be in the USE certificate if it is above the minimum.

When calculating points, the algorithm is as follows:

  1. For each correctly completed task, one or more points are awarded.
  2. At the end, the sum for the entire work is calculated.
  3. The primary USE 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 border is 80.

The assessment of the task depends on its complexity. For the tasks of 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.

USE scores and grades

Although there is an approximate scale for converting USE scores into grades familiar to all students, since 2009 this system has not been applied.

The refusal to transfer to grades is due to the fact that the amount of points does not affect the indicator in the certificate. It is fixed in a separate certificate.

In the event that a student scored less than the minimum result in one of the compulsory subjects, neither a certificate nor a high school diploma will be issued to him.

If this is a subject from those that are surrendered on a voluntary basis, the result simply will not be counted anywhere.

If an unsatisfactory grade was obtained according to the results of the exam, what should I do? It all depends on what subject.

  1. 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.
  2. When an unsatisfactory grade is obtained immediately in both subjects, retake is possible only for the next year.
  3. If you fail to score enough points for 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 pass this exam at all.

Depending on the subject, a retake is possible either in the same year on reserve days, or in the next.

Thus, if a student fails math at basic level, he can use the reserve days.

And if a low score was obtained based on the results of the profile level, retake will be possible only after a year.

What to do if the graduate does not agree with the assessment

If the graduate is sure that his work deserves a higher rating, he has the right to file an appeal.

In such a situation, the work will be re-considered by the conflict commission.

There are two possible outcomes. When a score seems low, the student can either be given points or points taken down.

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.

The reason for this may be illegible handwriting and similar circumstances.

If it appears that the grade is low, students file an appeal.

What is the exam

The general text of the task consists of three parts.

  1. Part A is in the form of a test. Of the four proposed answers, the graduate must choose one correct one.
  2. In part B, the following types of tasks are possible: writing a one-word answer, choosing several correct options, or establishing correspondence.
  3. In part C, the student is asked to give a detailed answer to the question.

Depending on the type of task, the verification process is different. The first two parts are checked automatically. Responses 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 evaluated by two independent experts. If the results match, this total is set.

If a slight discrepancy is found after evaluation, the average result is displayed.

With a 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 fixed in the database.

From there they are sent to the schools where the exam was taken.

How do USE scores affect college admissions?

In order to apply for admission to a university, graduates need to take the 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 handed over personally or sent by mail.

If the second option is selected, you will need to issue a registered letter with a description of the attachment, as well as a notification of receipt.

To find out if 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 who apply for enrollment is laid out there. Their results of passing the exam are also given there.

Enrollment takes place in two waves.

  1. When the first list is published, a few days are allotted for applicants to provide the originals of their documents (in most cases they send copies).
  2. If the deadline for submitting documents has expired, but there are still vacancies, a second list is prepared.

To enter the university, you will need the following package of documents:

  • an application for admission;
  • certified copies of the certificate and identity document;
  • a form with a list of points scored according to the results of the exam;
  • photographs (their size and number are established by the rules of the university).

Other documents may be requested from the applicant. For getting detailed information You need to apply to the university of interest.

The transfer of USE scores in 2017 is carried out according to the same system as in previous years.

To pass the exam, you must score at least minimal amount points, which is set for each subject annually.

To get a certificate and a certificate with the results of the Unified State Examination, you need to exceed this limit in compulsory subjects.
