Every graduate who wants to become a student at one of the Russian universities in 2018 faces the difficult task of successfully passing the Unified State Exam, as well as choosing the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. Most 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed light on important points.
In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the Unified State Exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point assessment system for final tests will still be relevant for graduates.
How is everything going?
During the verification of examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is given so-called “primary points”, which upon completion of the verification of the work are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the Unified State Examination certificate.
Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting primary and test scores of the Unified State Examination into traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate.
Work verification is performed in two ways:
- automatically (using special programs and technical means);
- manually (the correctness of detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).
It is quite difficult to challenge the result of an automatic check. If the basic rules were not followed when filling out the answer table, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself will be to blame for this, for not following a number of mandatory rules.
If controversial issues arise during peer review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.
When can I expect results?
The following time frames apply by law:
- data processing (by compulsory subjects) in RCIO should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
- RCIO is given 4 days to process data (elective subjects);
- verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 working days;
- approval of results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
- up to 3 days for distribution of results to Unified State Exam participants.
In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving it in your hands official result may take from 8 to 14 days.
Converting Unified State Examination points into grades
Despite the fact that in 2018 the scale for converting points in Unified State Examination subjects into a five-point grade is not officially used, many still want to interpret their results in a more familiar “school” system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

Unified State Examination score conversion scale 2014
Formula for converting Unified State Exam points
The scale for converting primary Unified State Exam scores into test scores is shown in the table. YOU can also calculate your score using the formula below.
where t is the Unified State Exam test score according to a 100-point system, which goes into the Unified State Exam certificate, 0 is the primary score of the person taking the Unified State Exam, 0 min is the score corresponding to one primary score, 0max is the score corresponding to the primary score, one less than the maximum possible. Round the result to the nearest whole number. A zero primary score corresponds to 0 points for the Unified State Exam, and a maximum primary score corresponds to 100 points for the Unified State Exam.

When passing the Unified State Exam (USE), a special place is occupied by the minimum USE score. This is the minimum threshold of knowledge in Unified State Examination scores, upon exceeding which a Unified State Examination certificate is issued in compulsory subjects. Or in other words, this is the Unified State Examination score corresponding to a satisfactory mark. If you receive a score less than the minimum in elective subjects, nothing is added to the certificate. The minimum Unified State Exam score in all subjects is set annually after passing the Unified State Exam and before the results are announced.

However, each university has the right to set the minimum Unified State Exam score higher than those recommended by Rosobrnadzor. The difference can reach 20-40 points or even more. For example, to enter the St. Petersburg National Research Academic University in 2018, you will need to score at least 65 points on the Unified State Exam in Russian and at least 75 points on the Unified State Exam in mathematics and physics. At the same time, in universities subordinate to the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the minimum Unified State Exam scores in one subject may differ depending on the specialty and the location of the university (region): the minimum threshold for universities located in Moscow, the Moscow region and St. Petersburg, as a rule, is slightly higher.
Scale for converting Unified State Exam scores 2018 in all subjects
In order to convert primary scores into test scores, a special table developed by Rosobrnadzor is required (Appendix No. 2 to the order of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science dated April 26, 2017 No. 920-10). It is called “Correspondence between raw scores and test scores for all academic subjects according to a hundred-point assessment system.”
Meanwhile, in any rule there is an exception, and it was found here. This is the Unified State Examination in mathematics. basic level. The results of this exam are given in primary scores and translated into a five-point grading system.
Converting Unified State Exam test scores into school grades
Officially, the scale for converting points in Unified State Examination subjects into a five-point assessment has not been used for a long time (namely, since 2008). However, many still want to interpret their result in a more familiar “school” system. To do this, you can use the table below or online calculators.
| Item | "2" (unsuccessful) | "3" (satisfied) | "4" (good) | "5" (excellent) |

Is it possible to retake the Unified State Exam in compulsory subjects in 2018?
Yes, graduates of 2018 can retake the Unified State Exam in a compulsory subject. Exams in Russian language and mathematics are mandatory. But the procedure for conducting state final certification in Russia does not allow anyone who wishes to retake the Unified State Exam to improve their results.
The order is strict, and it looks like this:
- You can retake the Unified State Exam in only one of the two compulsory subjects,
- The Unified State Exam can be retaken only if the grade is unsatisfactory.
Thus, if a graduate fails both mandatory exam: both Russian language and mathematics, retaking the reserve dates at the end of June will not be possible for him. If unsatisfactory grades are received in both compulsory subjects, the student will be able to go to retake only in September, when the autumn wave of retaking the compulsory Unified State Examination will take place.
Graduating from school and entering a university is accompanied by passing the Unified State Exam. When passing it, graduates wonder how the initial score is converted into a one hundred percent scale.
Converting Unified State Exam points into grades is aimed at determining what indicator a future student can count on.

Scale for converting Unified State Exam points into grades
While studying at school, children receive grades on a five-point scale, and in fact even on a four-point scale, since one is given extremely rarely.
When taking exams in the ninth and eleventh grades, students are faced with such concepts as primary scores for assignments, as well as a hundred-point scale.
The basic verification procedure is based on computer analysis and expert examination. The test part is subject to automated calculation; it is problematic to challenge the data. But the part that experts check can be subjected to additional analysis.
All points are also converted into grades. Despite the fact that this indicator does not have a significant impact, many students are interested in what grades are given by certain primary items.
Mathematics
For the last few years, two types of exams have been conducted in mathematics:
- basic, which is needed to obtain a certificate;
- profile level – required for admission to technical universities.
In the first case, the maximum possible primary score is twenty; for an A, seventeen points are required; for a four, twelve points; and for a three, only seven points.
As for the profile, an excellent score is given to those who score between thirteen and thirty points. A four is given to those who received points ranging from ten to twelve points, and a three is given from six primary points.
Russian language
The maximum initial score in Russian is thirty-nine; to get an A, it is permissible to miss five points. Four starts from twenty-five points, and three from fifteen. If the number is less than fourteen, the exam is considered failed.
Foreign languages
The highest primary score of all exams is for foreign languages- seventy.
To obtain an excellent grade, you must score a minimum of fifty-nine points.
As for the four, forty-six points are quite enough, and for the three – twenty-nine.
If a graduate scores less than twenty-eight, then he will not be given credit for passing the exam.
Geography
To be an excellent student in geography, you must solve tasks for twenty-seven points, the maximum bar is thirty-two. Four - from twenty to twenty-six, and for three only twelve points are enough.
Biology
For a biology exam, you can accumulate forty-six points, and the lower bar for an A is thirty-seven points.
Three starts with thirteen, and four starts with twenty-six points.
A test with less than twelve points is considered a failure.
Literature
If you successfully pass the literature within the Unified State Exam, you can get up to thirty-three points, while the five starts counting from twenty-seven. For a four, twenty points is enough, and for a three, twelve.
Chemistry
For chemistry, you are allowed to score thirty-four points, of which twenty-seven is enough for an excellent grade. A four starts at nineteen, and for a three, nine points is enough.
Story
Forty-four points are accumulated for the history exam.
A lack of even nine points will give the graduate an excellent grade.
The one who solves the test with twenty-four points will become good in history. A satisfactory score starts at thirteen points.
Informatics
The smallest initial score for the computer science exam is twenty-two. However, in order to get a mark of five, let’s say there is only a shortfall of four points. Three starts with five points, and three starts with twelve.
Social science
To get an A in social studies, you need to score from thirty-four to thirty-five points. Twenty-five will be enough for good students, and fifteen will be enough for those who are satisfied with a satisfactory mark.
Preparation for the Unified State Exam
The GDZ online service, which presents solution books from various authors, including Vilenkin’s 6th grade mathematics, has many advantages compared to using solution books in paper format:
- the service is free;
- you can download textbooks;
- the service is available at any time of the day, any day of the week;
- You can use the service from anywhere with Internet access;
- The service presents solution books compiled by highly qualified specialists, which eliminates the possibility of receiving unreliable or low-quality information.
Important advantages of the online GDZ service are the ability to access from any computer device, regardless of the operating system installed on the device.
A wide selection of solution books presented on the site allows you to find an answer to almost any question that interests a student. So now learning has become easier.
What does the primary score mean in the Unified State Exam?
Basic concepts:
- Primary – the sum of points that can be scored for solved tasks; Depending on the complexity of the tasks, a certain number of points is assigned.
- Test – points for solved tasks transferred into a system of one hundred points.
This system was invented to simplify the calculation of results, since admission to a university is based on the sum of points for several exams, and the maximum primary indicator for subjects is different.
The fact is that each task in the topics is assessed separately and there is a special counter for distributing points.
How to convert primary scores to secondary scores
In order to transfer primary points to secondary ones, you need to use a special scale, which is presented on the official websites of FIPI, as well as a number of third-party sources.
It is problematic to make calculations on your own; to do this you need to know exactly the principle of enumeration.
The article presents a calculator for translating information. The criteria that are considered are based on the performance of the exam.
Minimum scores for the Unified State Exam
The amount of minimum points is approved annually as the basis that is required to obtain a school diploma and become eligible to apply.
In accordance with current legislation, in order to graduate from school with an official document of education, it is necessary to pass two subjects:
- Russian – twenty-four;
- mathematics - twenty-seven.
All other subjects are taken for admission to the university. This means that the student has the right not to choose anything, with the exception of the Russian language and mathematics, or to take at least all the subjects from the table.
As for the entry points, the higher education institution independently determines the threshold for each subject, but this parameter cannot be lower than that established at the state level.
The indicators look like this:
- Russian language, chemistry, biology and physics – thirty-six.
- Mathematics - twenty-seven.
- Computer Science – forty.
- History and literature – thirty-two.
- Foreign languages – twenty-two.
- Social studies – forty-two.
- Geography - thirty-seven.
This list contains secondary points, that is, the points have already been converted to a hundred-point system. It is important to take into account that a particular university has the right to set excessive scoring requirements; this is not prohibited by law.
Maximum score on the Unified State Exam
The maximum score on the unified state exam in each subject is one hundred in the secondary system.
In order to determine the maximum number of acceptable points in a discipline, you should refer to either the conversion table from primary to secondary points, or the codifier for the subjects presented in each average test trial.
How to score 100 points on the Unified State Exam
To score the maximum number of points on the Unified State Exam, you need not only a good understanding of the topic, but also the ability to competently solve standard test tasks.
When preparing, you should be guided by the following:
- For several years, study the material every day in the subjects that you plan to take after leaving school.
- Do a lot of test-type tasks, this will help you get better and repeat all the topics more than once.
- When solving problems in the written part, you should contact experts who will help with the analysis and suggest formatting rules.
- During the exam itself, behave calmly; if the graduate is well versed in the topic, then there will be no problems with solutions.
Converting Unified State Exam points into grades is a formality that allows you to evaluate the results using a more familiar method. But the calculation from primary to secondary is an important stage. Higher educational institutions They set standards and passing standards based on a 100-point scale.
Rating system Unified State Exam results not easy: instead of the usual “fours” and “fives” you will encounter primary and test scores. It is not difficult to understand what the primary and test scores are. It is much more difficult to understand exactly how the primary scores are converted into test scores.
Primary and test score of the Unified State Exam: definitions
Primary score- This preliminary USE score. The primary score is obtained by summing the scores for correctly completed tasks. For example, a correctly completed assignment of Part A or Part B is scored 1 point, Part C - up to 6 points. Maximum quantity primary points for all tasks of control measuring materials (CMM) for different subjects ranges from 39 to 80 points.
Test score- This final USE score. It is obtained from the primary one using a special table. Every year, each subject has its own special table.
Example: in 2013, a graduate received a primary score of 35 on the Unified State Exam in History. According to the table, his test score will be 58/ And his neighbor on the desk, taking the same history, received one primary score more - 36. His test score according to the table will be 60.
The number of test scores you need to strive for must be higher than the minimum established for a given subject. But, as a rule, graduates who are going to receive higher education, they know in advance how many test points they need to score to enter a university for their chosen specialty, since universities publish this information.
Converting primary scores to test scores
As we have already said, there are tables for converting primary scores into test scores. System Unified State Examination scores is such that even knowing his primary score, a graduate will not be able to independently accurately determine his test score, since new tables are compiled every year. It takes 6-8 days to convert primary scores into test scores.
However, in fairness, it is worth noting that the tables of different years are not very different: in some subjects the number of test points remains the same, in others it changes by 2-3.
