Almost 700,000 people are taking the Unified State Exam this year. The most popular elective subjects are social studies, physics, history and biology. Who will be allowed to retake the exam this year? What has changed in the rules for filling out forms? Why are students less likely to file appeals? These and other questions were answered by the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergey Kravtsov.

"I am a graduate of this year, I chose three subjects, but I found out that the university where I will enter also needs physics. Can I now write an application for the Unified State Examination?", Julia, St. Petersburg.
Sergey Kravtsov: All universities were required to place on their websites by October 1, 2016 the subjects that are needed for admission to a particular specialty. If it turns out now that the university has changed the exams, this is a violation. You need to write an application to the State Examination Commission of your region (SEC) about including the physics exam in the list of subjects for passing, which will decide whether or not to allow you to take this exam. But in any case, this must be done no later than two weeks before the exam. The exam in physics will be held on June 7, so you are unlikely to have time to pass the exam on this day. But on reserve days (June 21 or July 1) - it is possible.
"Is it possible to retake the exam to improve the result?", Sergey, Saratov region.
Sergey Kravtsov: The exam can be retaken only for the 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.
"Will the one who was kicked out of the exam be allowed to retake it?", Graduate's mother, Voronezh region.
Sergey Kravtsov: It's better not to bring this up. If they were removed for a cheat sheet or a mobile phone, then the graduate will no longer be allowed to retake this year.
"What if a person did not come to the exam due to illness?", Olga, Tambov region.
Sergey Kravtsov: You need to contact the place where the person wrote the application for the exam. Usually it's a school. She, together with the state examination committee of your region, makes a decision and provides an opportunity to take the exam on a reserve day. There are also force majeure circumstances. Last year, during the Unified State Examination, there were blackouts and floods in some regions. I want to reassure all exam participants and their parents in advance so that they do not worry. If there were any technical failures or failures related to natural disasters, then each participant who could not pass the exam for these reasons will pass the exam on reserve days. By the way, there are countries where no force majeure circumstances are considered. Couldn't come to the exam? Come back in a year.
"Can the organizers of the exams answer the questions of schoolchildren about filling in the forms?", Petr Sergeevich, teacher, Krasnoyarsk Territory.
Sergey Kravtsov: Of course, the organizer must give clarifications on the rules for filling out the forms. And even during the exam. But he has no right to suggest. Otherwise, the work will be canceled, and the organizer will be punished - up to and including dismissal. There have been such cases. As for filling out the forms, this year the "gender" column has disappeared, the number of fields for replacing erroneous answers has been reduced, and a field has appeared where the organizer must indicate how many replacements of erroneous answers were made by the exam participant.
Disagree with the USE score? An appeal can be filed within two working days after the official announcement of the results.
"This year I pass both levels of mathematics - both basic and profile. If I pass the base, but do not get the minimum score on the profile, will they be allowed to retake it?", Graduate, Torzhok, Tver Region.
Sergey Kravtsov: If one of these two exams is passed, then the other will not be allowed to retake.

"If a student does not agree with the points given, where and to whom should he go?", Nina Petrovna, Kaluga region.
Sergey Kravtsov: Within two working days after the official day of the announcement of the results, it is necessary to file an appeal to the place 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, we held the "100 points for Victory" campaign in Nalchik, when last year's 100 points students tell 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, and 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.
"Who should have the pass that the USE participant receives? Should he take it somewhere during the exam?", Polina, Smolensk.
Sergey Kravtsov: The USE participants are not issued a pass, but a notification that says where and when to come to the USE. This paper does not need to be handed over anywhere, it is generally not necessary to bring it to the exam. And the participants are allowed to take the exam according to their passports and distribution lists at the examination point.
"Who and how checks the work of USE participants?", Sergei Mikhailovich, father of a graduate.
Sergey Kravtsov: The first part is checked by the computer. Tasks with a detailed answer are checked by regional subject commissions. Moreover, each work is checked by two experts. If they do not agree on the assessment, then a third expert is involved.
