Mathematics is one of the main subjects of the school curriculum. Graduates of the 9th and 11th grades must have basic theoretical knowledge, as well as be able to solve problems from the field of algebra and geometry. The tickets offered to schoolchildren at the final tests are designed to test these competencies.

If you plan to enter college in 2018 or become a student of one of the most prestigious universities in the country, we offer you to find out how the OGE and the Unified State Examination in mathematics and the assessment of examination papers take place.

The main state exam (OGE) - form final certification 9th grade graduates.

For many years, the tasks for this exam were developed by the teachers themselves, taking into account the level of preparation of graduates and the profile of the school (gymnasium). But already in 2018, a set of tasks will be developed that will be the same for all graduates of the 9th grade educational institutions. Uniform assessment criteria will also be developed, which will put all ninth-graders on an equal footing.

Judging by the statements made by the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Olga Vasilyeva and her colleagues, no fundamental changes are expected in the assessment of examination papers in mathematics in 2018.

During the test, for each correct decision, the OGE participant will be awarded primary points, which will then be transferred to a five-point system according to the following correspondence table:

Important! In 2018, there will be no "Real Mathematics" block in the tickets, and in order to overcome the minimum threshold, graduates will need to score at least 4 points in the "Algebra" block and 4 points in the "Geometry" block.

Evaluation of work at the Unified State Examination 2018 in mathematics

When applying for the Unified State Examination in Mathematics, 11th grade graduates can choose the level:

• basic (it will be enough for applicants planning to enroll in philological areas or taking the exam to receive a document on the completion of grade 11);
• profile (a prerequisite for entry into technical and engineering specialties).

Evaluation of the work of the Unified State Examination in mathematics of the basic level

The basic level ticket consists of one block, which includes 20 tasks from the algebra and geometry course, the answers to which must be entered on a special form.

Important! When filling out the form, you must follow the basic rules. Automatic system checks will not count the answer if it is incorrectly entered in the answer table!

The minimum passing barrier of the basic USE in mathematics, corresponding to the grade "3" - 12 points, the maximum - 20 points. Thus, in order to receive a certificate, graduates must solve any 12 of the proposed 20 tasks.

Evaluation of the work of the Unified State Examination in mathematics of the profile level

The profile level is optional. This exam is chosen by graduates who wish to enter the university for technical and engineering specialties. Naturally, the requirements for those who pass the exam of increased complexity are higher.

The main differences of the profile level:

• the ticket consists of two blocks: basic and profile;
• there are tasks of a specialized level that require a detailed answer (recording of the entire course of the solution);
• tasks with a detailed answer are checked by experts;
• the minimum threshold for passing is 27 points.

Solutions to tasks of the profile level are checked by 2 experts. Here are the possible options:

• the opinions of the inspectors (given points) are the same - ideal;
• the scores differ, but not significantly - the arithmetic mean between the scores from different experts is counted;
• the opinions of the inspectors and the points given differ significantly. In this case, a third expert is involved.

In 2018, assessment will affect the certificate and USE results in mathematics will be interpreted according to the table:

%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%20%D0%9E%D0%93%D0%AD %20%D0%B8%20%D0%95%D0%93%D0%AD%20%D0%B2%202018%20%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%83

Since the assessment of knowledge in mathematics is mandatory for graduates of the 9th and 11th grades, low scores in the OGE and the USE will not allow you to get a certificate and continue your studies at a college or university in 2018.

The reasons for a poor result can be different, from poor physical or psychological condition to a banal lack of necessary knowledge. If a student fails to achieve the required passing score on the first attempt, they will receive a second chance. The retake of the OGE and the USE in mathematics will be held on reserve days according to the established schedule for the final tests 2017-2018 school year.

See also the interview in which Olga Vasilyeva told Izvestia about the USE in 2018:

Graduating from high school is not easy these days. In order to say goodbye to the school desk, you need to pass several important exams, and not simple ones, but the Unified State Examination. Good scores in the certificate decide the future fate of the graduate and give him a chance to enter a prestigious university. That is why students seriously prepare for this test, and conscious ones even begin to prepare for it from the beginning of the school year. What will be USE in mathematics 2017 and what changes await graduates in the delivery procedure, this article will tell.

It is worth noting that next year the number of compulsory subjects will not change. The guys, as before, must pass the Russian language and mathematics. The results are still evaluated on a 100-point scale, and in order to pass the exam, you must score at least the minimum number of points determined by the FIPI.

The mathematics exam will have a basic and profile direction.

Mathematics exam progress

It is not yet possible to say the exact date of the USE in mathematics, but based on past years, it is easy to guess that it will take place around the beginning of June. In order to fully cope with the task, the student will be given as much as 3 hours. This time is enough to solve all the tests and practical tasks. Note that just before the exam, almost all personal belongings are taken away from graduates, leaving only a pen, a ruler and a calculator.

During the exam, it is prohibited:

• change;
• get up;
• to talk with neighbors;
• exchange materials;
• use audio devices to listen to information;
• go out without permission.

Do not forget that independent observers will be present in the classes at all times, so students must comply with all their requests regarding correct behavior during the exam!

Future changes

Every graduate who has ever taken the exam will tell you that the most difficult is mathematics. As a rule, only a few understand this subject, and far from many can solve all the test tasks. Unfortunately, there are no special concessions in the content, although some pleasant moments in the passing of the exam in mathematics in 2017 can still be noted. This applies to re-in case of defeat. Moreover, it will be possible to do it 2 times during the next academic year. In addition, if a student wishes to increase their scores, they can also apply for a retake.

The examination program will include not only assignments for grade 11, but topics from previous years. Recall that the basic level differs from the profile level in the knowledge assessment system: the basic level is 20 point system, and profile - 100 each. As statistics show, on average, only half of the students score 65 points at the profile level. Despite the fact that this is a rather low score, it is quite enough to enter an institute or university.

In 2017, they plan to increase the number of independent observers, as well as issue new forms for questions and answers. The test form will remain only in the mathematical exam, and then the specialists intend to add more practical tasks. This will avoid mere guessing and will help to soberly assess the knowledge of students.

Passing score of the basic level of the Unified State Examination in mathematics

The results of the exam can be viewed on the official portal, just by entering your passport data. To obtain a certificate, it is enough to earn only 7 points, which is equivalent to the usual “troika”. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the table for the basic level:

Passing score of the profile level of the Unified State Examination in mathematics

As mentioned above, to pass this exam, it is enough to score 65 points. This result guarantees the graduate a calm celebration of graduation and admission to the desired university in the country. In order to easily decipher the results of your knowledge, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the points table for the profile level:

Exam Structure

Thanks to the demos that appear every year on the FIPI official website, the guys can take a trial exam and see who is what. The exact structure of the exam, identical to the real one, has been developed in a special file. Note that the student will need to remember the program of all past years: trigonometry, logarithms, geometry, probability theory and much more. In 2017, the structure of the USE in mathematics is as follows:

All these tasks were compiled on the basis of the program studied during the school years. If the student studied diligently, performed all the work assigned by the teacher, it will not be difficult for him to pass the exam as “excellent”. In addition, going to tutors can increase the chances of a good grade.

The exam in mathematics is a mandatory exam. There are two forms of this exam: basic and profile. Those entering non-math majors can take the core exam and devote more time to studying subjects that are important to them. And for those who enter engineering and economic specialties, preparation for the USE in mathematics at the profile level is simply necessary. Unified State Examination Mathematics 2019: profile level is a difficult exam. But this subject is needed to solve the problems that graduates will face in their future work.

What is the Unified State Examination in Mathematics at the profile level?

The profile exam in mathematics includes 19 tasks.

• Of these, 12 are simpler, and only the correct answer is counted in them. But these 12 tasks cover all the topics of the school curriculum. Getting them right takes practice. You must be able to carefully read the condition, quickly and correctly calculate without a calculator and check the answers from the point of view of common sense.
• The other 7 tasks of the profile exam in mathematics are complex, and you need to provide not only an answer, but also a correctly designed solution.

Part 1

In fact, the profile exam in mathematics is two exams in one.

• Part 1 - the first 12 tasks - is the final exam for the course high school. In the first 12 tasks, all the skills and abilities acquired in mathematics lessons are tested, starting from the third grade. And if a student has problems with arithmetic, then it is impossible to build anything on such a fragile foundation.
• Therefore, it is not necessary to start preparing for the exam in mathematics by solving typical USE options. Many students make this mistake. It is necessary to start preparing for the profile exam in mathematics by repeating the entire basic course of school mathematics.
• Note that in the first 12 USE tasks In mathematics, there is no “nearly correct” answer. He is either correct or not. The answer in these problems must be written as an integer or a final decimal fraction.

Each task of the first part is estimated at 1 primary point.

Part 2

The second part of the profile exam in mathematics includes 7 tasks. These are complex combined tasks that require creativity, logic and attention.

Here are the tasks included in the variant of the profile exam in mathematics:

• Problem 13 - Equations. In this problem, combined equations are given in which there are trigonometry, logarithms, and exponential functions. It is estimated at 2 primary points.
• Task 14 - Stereometry. Prisms, pyramids, cones and other three-dimensional bodies. Here there are tasks for finding angles between straight lines and planes, distances between straight lines, between parallel planes and from a point to a plane, calculation of areas and volumes. Assessed in only 2 primary points
• Problem 15 - Inequalities. Exponential, irrational and logarithmic inequalities, roots and modules, all kinds of solutions. This requires both knowledge and logic. Scored at 2 primary points
• Problem 16 - Geometry on a plane. Triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, circles and other shapes, as well as their various combinations. Scored at 3 primary points
• Task 17 - Economic. Here are tasks for optimization, for bank payments, deposits and loans. For tasks on loans, two schemes are considered - an annuity and a scheme with differentiated payments. This task requires a lot of calculations. Scored at 3 primary points
• Problem 18 is the most difficult algebra. Options. It is necessary to know by heart all the elementary functions, their graphs and transformations, to be able to define a circle, a half-plane, any complex curve by an equation or an inequality. Those who have mastered this task will easily pass the exam in calculus during the first session in the technical or economic university. Scored as much as 4 primary points.
• And, finally, problem 19 is non-standard. We can say that this is a problem in number theory, but this is not entirely true. If it looks like something, it is only like Olympiad problems. It requires complex, but very logical mathematical reasoning. To solve it, you need a high mathematical culture, developed intuition and logic, and, of course, knowledge of special techniques. This is an expensive task - it is worth 4 primary points.

In each of these seven tasks of the profile exam in mathematics, it is not enough just to write down the answer. It is necessary to correctly and clearly write down each step of the solution so that when checking your work, the USE expert can give the maximum score.

How to prepare for the exam?

No changes are expected in the structure and form of the exam in 2018-2019. Therefore, it is very important, in order to score a high score at the profile level, to think over the preparation strategy correctly.

1. First of all, you need to clearly know the criteria for evaluating each task, which can be read in the demo version of the exam.
2. Solve problems on the FIPI website, where available open banks assignments in mathematics.

The most common ways to prepare for a future exam are:

• help of a tutor;
• group classes within the walls of the school;
• running demos.

We remind you that you cannot use a calculator at the USE in mathematics at the profile level.
