Every student in our country must pass the unified state exams, which demonstrate the level of knowledge gained at school and become the basis for further development education - admission to a university. Such an important event requires a long preparation, and therefore every student strives to know in advance the schedule of the USE exams 2017.

Features of the USE 2017

Until 2017, tests were the main form of knowledge testing. In 2016, the form of test questions was recognized as obsolete, because even without knowing the correct answer, the student had the opportunity to guess it from the provided options. Since 2017, a decision has been made to return to the questionnaire form of passing exams, that is, most subjects will be taken in the same way as it was accepted in the "zero" - in the period up to 2009. In addition, the student is waiting for a number of innovations. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Firstly, a third is added to the two mandatory exams - it should be history. True, the name of the third subject has not yet been firmly established, but at the beginning school year this information will be made public. That is, you will have to take the Russian language, mathematics and, most likely, history - more precisely, it will be known by the date of the USE 2017.

Secondly, RAO (Russian Academy of Education) insists on the introduction of a point scale for grading essays. Until today, the essay was evaluated only according to two criteria - pass or fail. This, according to representatives of the Russian Academy of Education, negatively affects the knowledge of students and gives advantages to those students who are simply too lazy to learn literature - it is much easier to get a “test” in an essay than a five.

Thirdly, on USE results grades in the certificate will also affect. The higher the scores for school subjects, the higher the final grade for the state exam.

Fourth, if the points scored do not reach the threshold level, students will be given the opportunity to retake the exam twice more. It will also be possible to go for a retake if the student for some reason is not satisfied with the points scored.

So, at the exam, schoolchildren will have to take one of their choice. It will be possible to take them several times until the result seems satisfactory to the student.

Dates of the exam in 2017

The USE schedule in 2017 consists of two parts - early and main delivery.

Early period for passing the exam

• geography, informatics and ICT

• Russian language / compulsory subject

• history, chemistry

• mathematics / compulsory subject

• Geography, literature

• foreign languages ​​(oral exam)

• foreign languages, biology, physics

• social science, literature

So next week reserve time begins for all exams included in the USE list

• reserve: geography, chemistry, informatics and ICT, foreign languages ​​(oral), history

• reserve: foreign languages, literature, physics, social studies, biology

• reserve: Russian language, mathematics B, P

• Foreign language, history, social studies (reserve)

• Foreign language (oral), geography, physics, biology (reserve).

However, not every student is in a hurry to take advantage of the right to take the exam ahead of schedule. Therefore, most students will be interested in the second section of the USE 2017 schedule - the main period.

• geography, informatics and ICT

• math B

• mathematics P

• social science

• physics, literature

• Russian language

• foreign languages, biology

• foreign languages ​​(oral)

• foreign languages ​​(oral)

• chemistry, history

Reserve days of the Unified State Examination begin on Tuesday.

• reserve: geography, informatics and ICT

• reserve: literature, chemistry, physics, social studies

• reserve: biology, history foreign languages

• reserve: foreign languages

• reserve: math B, math P

• reserve: Russian

• reserve: in all subjects

Additional period (September)

Retaking the USE exams in 2017

In addition to the main and reserve days, the USE process itself provides for a third period - a retake. The right to retake is granted to every student - both those who have not reached the threshold minimum, and those who simply want to improve their own results and score more points. Indeed, in order to increase own level you will need remarkable confidence in your own abilities and knowledge.

Retaking the exam usually takes place in September, most often in the first half of the month. However, the schedule of a possible retake will be known only by August 2017.

Extra points

Additional points may be added for the points scored in the exams. So, 10 points can be added:

• for a certificate with one fives;
• for prize-winning places taken at Olympiads in school subjects;
• for achievements in sports.

Given the possible addition of points, it is worth thinking about passing the exam in advance: take part in olympiads and competitions in all subjects, and not just profile ones; increase the level of knowledge, striving for excellent grades; participate in school sports.

Recently, Rosobrnadzor published the dates and schedule of USE exams in 2016 for graduates. And thanks to these dates, graduates can navigate and choose the exams they want to take. Note that the exam is conducted in two stages. First - early exams, the second is the main stage. And they also have their own date. Let's take a closer look at all the dates.

And so, soon - on March 21, the early stage of passing exams in the Unified State Examination will begin.
And the main stage will begin on May 27th.

New in passing the exam in 2016:
- Finally, our officials singled out an exam in social science on a separate day. After all, according to statistics, only 1 student out of 5 does not pass it. Therefore, such an exam simply needs to be taken out on one day. And now, years later, it happened!
- if you received a deuce for an exam in mathematics or the Russian language, then reserve days will be announced for retaking. They are scheduled for September 2016. The exact dates are not yet known.
- in 2016 it will be possible to pass the exam in the Chinese language. True, not all schools will accept such an exam. Therefore, you need to check with your school principal.
- in 2016, graduates of grade 10 can try their hand at passing the exam. His assessments will not affect absolutely anything. It's just a test a year before the main exam.

And now look at the table with the schedule of all the dates of the USE exams in Russia.

Every New Year brings innovation to the final test for high school graduates. The academic year that has begun will continue the modernization of the Unified State Examination. What awaits school graduates in 2017?

Schedule (project) of exams

Rosobrnadzor published a calendar for the implementation of the final test in 2017. Next year, it is proposed to hold a unified state exam in three stages: in the spring - a preliminary stage and in the summer - the main stage. The early period for taking the Unified State Examination will start on March 14 and continue until April 7.

There are additional days (April 15-16, April 21-23) for retaking the final work in all subjects. The main period will begin on May 29 and will last until June 30. An additional opportunity to pass the exam will be provided on June 22-24, 27-28.30.

Both stages are united by the fact that the items for delivery on the same day are grouped in the same way. But the sequence of their implementation is completely different. The spring stage will begin with mathematics basic level(21 March). A day later (March 23) they take the baton of history with computer science and ICT. On the twenty-fifth of March, all graduates take the Russian language.

Mathematics at the profile level will be passed by students on March 28. On March 30, everyone who chooses this subject will test their knowledge of social studies. The first day of April is allocated for geography with literature, the second of April - for physics and chemistry. The oral part of a foreign language can be taken on April 8, and the written assignments the next day. On the same day, the examiners will take biology.

Reserve days for early delivery and for the main stream do not coincide in the conduct of the exam in subjects combined on the same day. High school students taking exams in the spring will be able to take advantage of an additional chance on April 15 to retake the Russian language, the next day - for mathematics. Informatics and ICT, chemistry, literature are united for a second chance on April 21st.

Subjects of the humanitarian cycle (social science, history, foreign language) can be retaken on April 22. The rest of the subjects have been postponed to April 23 - oral foreign language, physics, biology and geography.

Reserve days for the main stage will begin on June 22, 2016 with a retake of geography and chemistry, a foreign language and social studies, computer science and ICT. The oral part of a foreign language can be passed on June 23. The next day was allocated by the organizers of the exam for another opportunity to pass physics and history, literature and biology.

Two days next week (June 27 and 28) are designated for an additional attempt to pass the Russian language and both levels of mathematics. On June 30, everyone can take the exam in any subject, if for some reason it was not possible to get the desired score in the subject in regular time.

The peculiarity of the schedule of the final exams for graduates in 2016 draws attention: a special day is allocated for the exam in social studies. This is due to the fact that many graduates choose this subject of the exam. After the Russian language and mathematics, social science is in first place among all exams chosen by students.

In 2016, a third (additional) term appears for passing the exam. The reserve stage will be held in September. It is intended for testing in traditionally compulsory disciplines: mathematics (September 10) and the Russian language (September 17). The last opportunity to get the desired score in these subjects is on September 24th.

What innovations will bring

The calendar for the implementation of the unified state exam of the Unified State Examination in 2016 allows graduates to use the attempt to pass the exam in a separate subject three times. This is good news. Of the three attempts to pass the exam in the subject, the one that will give the maximum score for the exam will be selected. Therefore, those who did not reach the required minimum (the so-called threshold) can also try to retake. And those who believe that they just got too worried during the exam and know the subject for a higher score.

Psychologists say that the ability to repeat failed attempt passing the exam will lead to a decrease in the level of anxiety in the graduate. The absence of nervousness will allow the child to be liberated and show his knowledge to the maximum.

Along with the pluses, the changes will bring minuses. Graduates of 2016 will not find test items in KIMah in four more subjects. If in 2015 test questions disappeared in mathematics, literature, Russian language. Now it will not be possible to choose one correct answer out of the four offered in computer science and ICT, geography, history, social science.

In the future it is expected completely remove test questions from KIMs in all subjects. It will not be possible to guess the answer without knowing the material of the studied topic.

The passing score for obtaining the status of a student of a higher educational institution will again be determined in advance. Compared to 2015, there will be an increase. The ability to retake the exam three times gives hope to still gain the required amount to pass through the competition and enter a university.

Admission to the exam

In December 2014, I passed a trial version of admission to the Unified State Examination. It was a literary essay. Today's eleventh graders will definitely have to write such an essay. The deadline for the final essay on literature is determined - December 2. Suggested themes are also known. There are five of them:

• year of literature;
• time;
• Love;
• path.

No grades or points will be given for the written masterpiece. All assessment comes down to two results: “pass” or “fail”. "Certificate" admits the student to the exam in all other subjects. If you received a “failure”, you can try to rewrite the final essay. The dates of the possible retake are known: February 3 or May 4.

An attempt to rewrite the final essay is given once. The second time an attempt to write it and get admission to the exam will be allowed only after a year. It is planned to write the final essay in conditions that are extremely close to the conditions for the implementation of the unified state exam. This is considered psychological preparation each student to a crucial moment.

To obtain a certificate, it is necessary to cross the minimum threshold in two compulsory academic disciplines: the Russian language and mathematics. A profile exam in mathematics is necessary for those students who want to enter an educational institution where scores in this subject are taken into account. A graduate who has not passed profile mathematics is closed to the university.

The principle of building a schedule this year has changed a bit. As in previous years, the schedule for passing the exam in 2016 provides for the main dates for passing tests and a reserve period when those who, according to good reason couldn't make it on the main dates. At the same time, a fairly large proportion of "reservists" are usually schoolchildren who did not have time to pass the certification in the main terms due to the coincidence of exam dates.

However, the latter in 2016 will be less than usual: the schedulers analyzed the statistics and came to the conclusion that the social studies exam is very popular among graduates. Therefore, this subject was given a separate day in the schedule.

As a result, four pairs of “coincident” exam dates remained in the USE-2016 schedule:

• physics and chemistry;


• history and informatics;


• geography and literature;


• biology and foreign language (written part).

Most of the "parallel" subjects belong to different profiles and are rarely required for admission at the same time (except perhaps physics and chemistry). It is expected that this innovation will help the majority of eleventh graders complete the exam epic by June 20 and come to school. prom, already saying goodbye to textbooks.

Schedule of the early period for passing the exam in 2016

Far from all eleventh graders can take the exam in March-April - school course in most subjects, by March, it is considered not yet completed, and a good reason is needed to participate in the early period. The exceptions are subjects that are no longer taught in grade 11 (for example, geography, which is completed in grade 10) - all students can take them as part of the early period, and this can be a good way to “unload” the main examination period.

Among those who can apply for participation in the “spring wave” in other subjects are boys and girls who will take part in all-Russian and international competitions or competitions in June; graduates of evening schools going to serve on conscription; as well as schoolchildren who at the beginning of summer will be in sanatoriums or other medical institutions. They will be joined by those who will soon go to live and study in other countries. In addition, graduates of previous years can take the exam in March-April; students of technical schools and lyceums; school graduates from other countries.

The exam marathon will begin on March 21, the first in the USE-2016 schedule will be an exam in mathematics at the basic level.

The main stage of passing the exam-2016: exam schedule

Most of the eleventh-graders pass the exam in the main period. Compulsory for all graduates, as in the past year, are exams in the Russian language and in mathematics (basic or profile level, if desired, an eleventh grader can take both options at once).

In order to be admitted to the exams, students need to get a "pass" by writing. His eleventh-graders wrote on December 2, and for those who did not cope with this task the first time, two days are provided for a retake - February 3 or May 4. There are not so many graduates who will have to write an essay again - according to statistics in different regions of Russia, the number of students who received a "failure" varies from 1 to 3%.

Schoolchildren who have chosen geography or literature as additional subjects will be the first to pass the USE-2016 - they will take them on May 27. From June 30 to June 6, the period for passing the mandatory USE, from 8 to 20, exams in other disciplines will be held. From the 20th to the 28th are reserve days, and for Russian and mathematics they are “dedicated” (June 27 and 28, respectively).

In addition, the USE-2016 schedule provides for a “single reserve day”, on which it will be possible to finish any of the subjects - June 30th.

Dates of the additional period of the Unified State Exam-2016

Students who have not passed the threshold in Russian or mathematics can now retake the exam without waiting for the next school year. In addition to them, those who missed the main deadlines or could not finish the work for good reasons will also be able to take the exam in September.

In September, exams are held only in compulsory subjects:

• basic or specialized mathematics can be retaken on September 10;


• an additional exam in the Russian language will be held on September 17;


• September 24 will be the single reserve day of the “autumn wave”.

All autumn exams will be held on Saturdays. This can be regarded as a "trial balloon". Indeed, in the future it is planned to organize the passing of the Unified State Examination for "losers" and graduates of previous years throughout the academic year, while it is planned that the exams will be held on weekends.
