Correlation of points and USE grades. Transfer of Unified State Exam points: Detailed description of the assessment system
The assessment system for the Unified State Exam in mathematics at the profile level is much more complicated. Firstly, exam tasks have different “prices”. The tasks from the first part (with a short answer) are the cheapest; the most “expensive” are the last two problems (an equation or inequality with a parameter and a problem in number theory).
In 2016, the ideal solution to all nineteen tasks can bring 32 primary scores. The maximum number of points has decreased by two compared to 2015, since the first part now offers 12 tasks instead of 14.
Primary scores are converted to test scores. The conversion scale varies slightly from year to year. Below is the table that was used at the Unified State Examination in mathematics in 2015. Please note that the corresponding function is very different from linear: rapid growth in the area of low scores gives way to a smoother one in the middle of the scale.

To enter a university you must earn a minimum 27 points(i.e., solve 6 simple tasks from the first part). Naturally, admission to serious educational institutions requires significantly higher results.
I would like to emphasize once again: the table above is just a guide! When assigning a test score, not only the number of primary points is taken into account, but also the relative complexity of the problems solved, as well as the number of students who completed a particular task. Thus, the final “formula” for transferring points will be known only after passing the Unified State Examination - 2016 in mathematics by all graduates.
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.

A basis for solving complex problems of Part 2 of the Unified State Exam.
Every graduate who wants to become a student at one of the Russian universities in 2018 faces a difficult task - to successfully pass the Unified State Exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. Most 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed light on important points.
In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the Unified State Exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point assessment system for final tests will still be relevant for graduates.
How is everything going?
During the verification of examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is given so-called “primary points”, which upon completion of the verification of the work are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate.
Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting the primary and test scores of the Unified State Exam into the traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate.
Work verification is performed in two ways:
- automatically (using special programs and technical means);
- manually (the correctness of detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).
Dispute the result automatic check It's hard enough. If the basic rules were not followed when filling out the answer table, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself will be to blame for this, for not following a number of mandatory rules.
If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.
When can I expect results?
The following time frames apply by law:
- data processing (for compulsory subjects) in the RCIO should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
- RCIO is given 4 days to process data (elective subjects);
- verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days;
- approval of results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
- up to 3 days for distribution of results to Unified State Exam participants.
In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result, it can take from 8 to 14 days.
Converting Unified State Examination points into grades
Despite the fact that in 2018 the scale for converting points in Unified State Examination subjects into a five-point grade is not officially used, many still want to interpret their results in a more familiar “school” system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

The second method is a little simpler and more convenient than searching for the required values in the cells of a huge table. You just need to choose a subject (mathematics, Russian language, chemistry, physics, history, English language, social studies... and other subjects), enter data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.
We invite you to try how simple and convenient it is to use online calculators for the Unified State Exam score and its conversion into a 5-point score in practice.

Internet systems for applicants
The 2017-2018 academic year has been completed, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for converting primary scores showed that Unified State Exam result located in a fairly good range... But is this enough to enter the desired university?
Assess the real chances of admission based on test scores and the minimum passing threshold set by the university.
Important! The minimum passing score is determined by the university itself. It will directly depend on the scores of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score.
Often at TOP faculties, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget. Only Olympiad winners who provide significant additional points have a chance to see their name on the list of applicants for such majors.
In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the entrance score threshold for various specialties will be:
- Ucheba.ru
- Apply online
- Higher School of Economics calculator
- Postyplenie.ru
- Typical applicant
These services are very easy to find. Just enter their name into any search engine.
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 positive assessment It is not possible to obtain a school certificate for this exam.
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 bring complete solution, 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.

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.
