Every graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare for the Unified State Exam 2018 and score the maximum possible points. 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 that there is:
- the minimum score giving the right to receive a certificate;
- the minimum score that allows you to apply to a university;
- the minimum score sufficient for actual admission to the budget in a specific specialty at a certain university in Russia.
Naturally, these figures differ significantly.
Minimum certification score
The minimum USE certification scores are established for compulsory subjects - Russian language and basic level mathematics and in 2018 are:
Having passed this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to submit documents to the university.
Minimum test score
The test minimum is a threshold value that gives the right to enter a university. In other words, persons who have passed the test threshold theoretically have the right to compete for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly ranked universities with minimal indicators.
In 2018, in all subjects except Russian language and basic mathematics, the minimum Unified State Exam test scores coincide with the certification scores and are:
Item | Minimum test score |
Russian language | |
Mathematics (basic level) | |
Mathematics (profile level) | |
Social science | |
Literature | |
Foreign language | |
Biology | |
Computer science | |
Geography |
The principle of calculating success in passing the unified state exam assumes that the test taker must demonstrate a high, average or sufficient level of knowledge, corresponding to grades “5”, “4” and “3” on the school scale.
In case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing with a score that the examinee considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to retake the Unified State 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 taking into account the points scored on the Unified State Exam.
In 2018, we can be guided by the fact that last season the average passing scores in all Unified State Exam subjects among applicants admitted to MGIMO and other highly ranked universities in the capital fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for most regional universities in the Russian Federation, 65-75 points can be considered a competitive result.
Converting the primary score to the resulting score
By completing the tasks proposed in the Unified State Examination ticket, the examinee gains so-called primary points, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When assessing the level of knowledge, such primary scores are converted into final scores, which are entered into the certificate and are the basis for admission.
Using an online calculator, you can compare primary and test scores in subjects of interest.
Just like last year, in 2018 the points scored while passing the Unified State Exam influence the certificate score and, although the official table for comparing test scores and traditional assessments has not been adopted, you can roughly compare your scores right now using a universal calculator.

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties at the same university may vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants admitted to the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a kind of guideline for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.
The minimum passing score is influenced by many factors, including:
- the total number of graduates who applied and the scores shown on their certificates;
- the number of applicants who provided original documents;
- number of beneficiaries.
So, seeing your name in 20th place in the list of a specialty that provides 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 set on another university and submitted documents for this specialty as a backup option .

Read the general information about the exam and start preparing. Compared to last year, the KIM version of the Unified State Exam 2019 is completely did not change.
Unified State Examination
The minimum passing score in biology in 2019 is 37; to overcome the threshold, you must correctly solve the first 18 tasks. Translate primary points to test ones, and then rate your level of knowledge of the subject according to the usual five-point system.
Structure of the Unified State Exam
In 2019, the Unified State Exam test in biology consists of two parts, including 40 tasks.
- Part 1: 33 tasks (1–33) with a short answer that is a number or a sequence of numbers.
- Part 2: 7 tasks (34–40) with a detailed answer, a detailed description of the entire progress of the task.
Preparation for the Unified State Exam
- Pass Unified State Exam tests online free without registration and SMS. The presented tests are identical in complexity and structure to real exams, carried out in the corresponding years.
- Download demo versions of the Unified State Exam in biology, which will allow you to better prepare for the exam and pass it easier. All proposed tests have been developed and approved for preparation for the Unified State Exam by the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). All official versions of the Unified State Exam are developed in the same FIPI.
The tasks that you will see most likely will not appear on the exam, but there will be tasks similar to the demo ones, on the same topic or simply with different numbers.
