Each graduate is well aware that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to prepare well for the Unified State Exam-2018 and score the highest possible points.
Minimum USE scores for 2018
Depending on the specialty for which the graduate enters, the core subject may be mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, a foreign language or another subject that is the basis of education. Every year, the admission committee of the university sets the threshold value of this score. If a student cannot provide a certificate with a passing minimum, his documents are not considered even if he has high scores in other subjects.
Russian language - at least 34 points;
basic mathematics - at least 27 points;
profile mathematics - at least 27 points;

Is it possible to retake the exam to improve the result?
The exam can be retaken by choice only on next year. But the compulsory subjects - Russian language or mathematics - are allowed to retake this year, but only if the participant has not overcome the minimum threshold for one of these subjects. For example, if one of the exams is passed successfully, and the required minimum is not scored in the second. If the graduate has not passed both mandatory exams, he will be able to retake them in September. It happens that a student came to the exam, started writing a paper, but for some good reason could not complete it. In this case, the result is considered canceled, and you can retake the exam on the reserve day.
If the student does not agree with the points given, where and to whom should he go?
Within two working days after the official day of the announcement of the results, an appeal must be filed to where the application for the exam was written. Usually it's a school. She will immediately forward the appeal to the conflict commission. Each region has such commissions, and everyone has the right to prove their case.
Recently, the action "100 points for Victory" was held in Nalchik, when last year's hundred-pointers told current graduates how to successfully pass the exam. There was one girl who was given a 97 on the exam, but she was sure that she deserved an even higher mark. The work was reviewed, she was given 100 points.
Recently, the number of applications to conflict commissions has decreased. Those guys who filed an appeal just like that, at random, stopped applying: what if the examiners add points? Now all statements - in essence, as a rule, from those who are very confident in their abilities and knowledge.
Each graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to prepare well for the USE 2018 and score the highest possible scores. 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 what exists:
- the minimum score that gives the right to receive a certificate;
- the minimum score that allows you to apply to the university;
- the minimum score sufficient for real income to the budget in a particular specialty at a particular university in Russia.
Naturally, these figures differ significantly.
Minimum certification score
Minimum certification USE scores established for compulsory subjects - Russian language and mathematics basic level and in 2018 are:
Having overcome this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to apply to the university.
Minimum test score
The test minimum is the threshold value that gives the right to enter the university. In other words, persons who have overcome the test threshold theoretically have the right to join the fight for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly rated universities with minimal performance.
In 2018, in all subjects, except for the Russian language and basic mathematics, the test minimum USE scores coincide with the attestation ones and are:
Thing | Minimum test score |
Russian language | |
Mathematics (basic level) | |
Mathematics (profile level) | |
Social science | |
Literature | |
Foreign language | |
Biology | |
Informatics | |
Geography |
The principle of calculating the success of passing the unified state exam assumes that the subject must demonstrate a high, average or sufficient level of knowledge, corresponding to grades "5", "4" and "3" in the school scale.
In case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing a score that the examinee considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to retake the 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 based on the points scored in the USE.
In 2018, you can focus on the fact that last season the average passing scores in all subjects of the Unified State Examination among applicants who entered MGIMO and other highly rated universities in the capital fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for most regional universities of the Russian Federation, 65-75 points can already be considered a competitive result.
Converting the primary score to the resulting one
By completing the tasks proposed in the USE ticket, the examinee gains the so-called primary scores, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When evaluating the level of knowledge, such primary scores are converted into the resulting ones, which are entered in the certificate and are basic upon admission.
With the help of an online calculator, you can compare primary and test scores in subjects of interest.
Just like last year, in 2018 recruited with passing the exam scores affect the score of the certificate and, although the table for comparing the test score and traditional marks is not officially accepted, you can approximately compare your scores right now using the universal calculator.

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties in the same university can vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants who entered the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a guideline for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.
There are many factors that affect the minimum passing score, including:
- the total number of graduates who have applied and the scores indicated on their certificates;
- the number of applicants who provided original documents;
- the number of beneficiaries.
So, having seen your last name in 20th place in the list of a specialty that provides for 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 tuned to another university and applied for this specialty as a fallback .
Correspondence between the primary scores of the USE 2018 and test scores for all academic subjects according to a 100-point grading system, the documents of Rosobrnadzor are determined.
Scale for transferring USE scores 2018 to 100 point system
To confirm mastery educational program middle general education for each academic subject, except for the USE in mathematics at the basic level, a minimum number of USE points is established according to a 100-point grading system.
There is also a minimum number of points for each subject of the Unified State Examination required for admission to universities. Below this level, universities do not have the right to set their own minimum scores with which they will accept applicants.
But above - they can. Therefore, these scores should be based on (and not guided by) if you decide to get higher education.
difference in minimum points to obtain a certificate and enter a university, there is only in Russian.
Validity of results - 4 years following the year of receipt of such results.
The desire to know your results immediately is quite understandable, but you should wait a bit. On average, papers are checked for one to two weeks, depending on the number of students taking the exam. For example, a large number of children take the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, on average, about 700 thousand people annually.
This is a big exam, so the results will be out in about two weeks. And the results in the literature can be obtained much faster. The deadlines for issuing results to participants are determined by Rosobrnadzor and published on the ege.edu.ru portal.
At school, our knowledge was assessed on a five-point system. With the advent of the USE, everything changed. Now the success of the final exams is determined on a 100-point scale, while there are primary and test scores. From the first time to understand this system is not easy.
Upon completion of the final exams in various general education subjects, schoolchildren do not immediately know their USE result. Checking their work, the examination committee first assigns the so-called primary points.
Primary USE scores are calculated for each subject separately, depending on the structure of the exam and the complexity of the tasks performed. After defining primary points the commission translates them into test ones - those that are subsequently entered into the database and reflected in the USE certificate.
To convert primary scores into test scores, the so-called score conversion table is used. Correspondence between primary and test scores is annually established by the order of Rosobrnadzor. For each subject, this correspondence is different. For example, 10 primary scores correspond to 10 scores in foreign languages, 23 - in social science, 38 - in physics, 50 - in mathematics at the profile level.
A reasonable question arises: why use primary scores if you can immediately calculate test scores? In fact, it is very difficult to evaluate the work in all subjects on a 100-point scale - given the structure, the complexity of the tasks (and it can change) - it is very difficult. It is also necessary to take into account the level of preparation of students: in different educational institutions it varies greatly.
For each subject, the minimum and maximum primary scores are set: PB1 and PB2. The minimum primary score indicates that the exam participant has mastered the basic concepts of the subject. The maximum primary score is assigned to a student who has demonstrated a high degree of mastery of a particular subject. If the exam (its complexity, structure, and so on) has not changed compared to the previous year, PB1 and PB2 remain the same.
According to the system USE scores, each task is evaluated on a scale from 1 to 24. The maximum number of primary points for all tasks in different subjects is from 32 to 100. There is also a minimum number of test points that an exam participant can score. The methodology and the table for transferring points are posted on the official website of the exam.
For a general understanding, you can translate the number of USE scores into the usual school grade. For example, 72 points scored in the Russian language correspond to an assessment of 5 (“excellent”), 58–71 - “four”, 36–57 - “troika”. 0-35 points scored - this is the school "failed". These data are calculated using a special online calculator.
However, high school students who have already decided on the choice of a university are guided by the USE data - the passing scores set by universities, as well as last year's passing score for the competition for a budget place (if any). It is worth noting that the passing score set by the university and the passing score for a state-funded place can differ significantly (at least twice).

Many Russian schoolchildren have already felt like a mountain has fallen off their shoulders: they have passed state exams, and now, based on their results, they are going to apply for admission to selected higher educational institutions.
As it became clear from the reviews on the forums and in social networks, not all the guys are happy with their scores, however, since the period for re-taking the exam has already been left behind, graduates will have to build on what they have for now.
Many people are also interested in what marks they received in exams, if they translate their scores into school grades. Considering that for many years in a row the scores for the state exam have not affected the grades in the subjects in the certificate, in principle, it makes no sense to convert them into grades, according to Therussiantimes. But this is still interesting to many, therefore we draw a table below, which is a clear example of the transfer of points earned on the exam into school grades.
How a Moscow student set a record for the Unified State Examination
It became known that an ordinary Moscow student managed to impress the commission on the Unified State Examination and all teachers, having passed not only two compulsory subjects - Russian language and mathematics, but also two more elective exams with a hundred points.
True, the head of Rosobnadzor Kravtsov noted that this student studied at a "very good school." His elective subjects are chemistry and biology. Kravtsov himself is sure that this is not the last case of such a distinctive passing of exams, since in five years he finally managed to achieve a correct and objective system for testing the knowledge of graduates.
The name of this "genius of modernity" is Ruslan Salimgareev, and he claims that he was preparing for the Unified State Examination in the classroom at school number one hundred and seventy-nine. The student also took part in various olympiads, which gave him a good base for passing state exams. True, for a brilliant passing of the exam in biology, the guy still visited a tutor for some time.
It goes without saying that future profession graduate will be connected with those subjects that he took "by choice": Ruslan will enter the Moscow University at the Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics. However, he himself was very surprised at his record, and at first he did not even believe his eyes, deciding that the public services website had simply failed.
Teachers will take the exam
Not only graduates have to pass a difficult and exciting USE exam: those teachers who want to work in Moscow, but are not residents of the capital themselves, will also be forced to pass the test.
The fact is that in this way, as explained in the department, it will be much easier to hold a competition among applicants for a teacher's position in any of Moscow's schools. By USE results the director of an educational institution will already be able to choose which specialist to choose.
In addition, by passing the exam not below the average level, the teacher will show that he has good knowledge in the chosen subject.
