Each graduate understands perfectly well that in order to successfully enter the specialty of interest, it is necessary to prepare well for the Unified State Exam 2018 and gain the maximum possible scores. 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 what exists:
- minimum score giving the right to obtain a certificate;
- the minimum score that allows you to apply to the university;
- the minimum score sufficient for real income to the budget in a particular specialty at a particular university in Russia.
Naturally, these figures differ significantly.
Minimum certification score
Minimum certification points USE set for compulsory subjects– Russian language and mathematics basic level and in 2018 are:
Having overcome this threshold, but not reaching the minimum test score, the examinee will receive a certificate, but will not be able to apply to the university.
Minimum test score
The test minimum is the threshold value that gives the right to enter the university. In other words, persons who have overcome the test threshold theoretically have the right to join the fight for budget places. Although, in practice, it is almost impossible to enter highly rated universities with minimal performance.
In 2018, in all subjects, except for the Russian language and basic mathematics, the test minimum USE scores coincide with the attestation ones and are:
Subject | Minimum test score |
Russian language | |
Mathematics (basic level) | |
Mathematics (profile level) | |
Social science | |
Literature | |
Foreign language | |
Biology | |
Informatics | |
Geography |
The principle of calculating the success of passing a single state exam assumes that the subject must demonstrate a high, average or sufficient level of knowledge, corresponding to the grades "5", "4" and "3" in the school scale.
In case of an unsatisfactory result, as well as when passing a score that the examinee considers insufficient for himself, graduates are given the right to retake the 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 based on the points scored in the USE.
In 2018, you can focus on the fact that last season the average passing scores for all USE subjects among applicants who entered MGIMO and other highly rated universities in the capital, fluctuated between the threshold value of 80-90. But, for most regional universities of the Russian Federation, 65-75 points can already be considered a competitive result.
Converting the primary score to the resulting one
By completing the tasks proposed in the USE ticket, the examinee gains the so-called primary scores, the maximum value of which varies depending on the subject. When evaluating the level of knowledge, such primary scores are converted into the resulting ones, which are entered in the certificate and are basic upon admission.
With the help of an online calculator, you can compare primary and test scores in subjects of interest.
Just like last year, in 2018, recruited during the passage USE scores affect the score of the certificate and, although the table for comparing the test score and traditional grades is not officially accepted, you can approximately compare your scores right now using the universal calculator.

Please note that the average passing scores for different specialties in the same university can vary significantly. This figure reflects the minimum score of applicants who entered the budget, and tends to change every year. The results of 2017 can only serve as a guideline for applicants in 2018, motivating them to achieve the highest possible results.
There are many factors that affect the minimum passing score, including:
- the total number of graduates who have applied and the scores indicated on their certificates;
- the number of applicants who provided original documents;
- the number of beneficiaries.
So, having seen your last name in 20th place in the list of a specialty that provides for 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 tuned to another university and applied for this specialty as a fallback .
The USE in Informatics is one of the elective exams for high school graduates. There are practically no changes compared to last year in the new version of KIM USE 2017.
It must be taken by those who plan to enter universities for the most promising specialties (information security, automation and control, nanotechnology, systems analysis and control, rocket systems and astronautics, nuclear physics and technology, and many others).
I present general information about the Unified State Examination in Informatics 2017.
Since there are practically no changes compared to last year in the new version of the KIM USE 2017, the materials of the last year can also be used for preparation.
USE score in computer science
The minimum passing score in computer science in 2017 is 40 test scores, in order to gain them, it is enough to correctly solve the first 6 tasks.
Duration and structure USE test in Informatics 2017
Computer Science is one of the longest exams, lasting 235 minutes.
In 2016, the test consists of two parts, including 27 tasks.
Part 1: 23 tasks (1-23) with a short answer, which is a number, a sequence of letters or numbers.
Part 2: 4 tasks (24–27) with a detailed answer, the complete solution of the tasks is recorded on the answer sheet 2.
All tasks are somehow connected with the computer, but during the exam it is not allowed to use it to write a program in the tasks of the second part. In addition, the tasks do not require complex mathematical calculations and the use of a calculator is also not allowed.
Minimum USE score in computer science by year
2009 — 36
2010 — 41
2011 — 40
2012 — 40
2013 — 40

On the establishment of a scale for transferring points from the unified state exam in informatics and information and communication technologies (ICT) to a five-point grading system used to mark marks in the certificate of secondary (complete) general education in 2008
In accordance with paragraphs 9 and 27 of the Regulations on the conduct of the unified state exam in 2008, approved by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science Russian Federation dated February 5, 2008 No. 36 (registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on February 29, 2008, registration No. 11251), and based on the decision of the Commission for scaling the results of the unified state exam in 2008, created by order of Rosobrnadzor dated May 15, 2008 No. 1002 ( protocol from no.):
1. Establish a scale for translating the points of the unified state exam (hereinafter referred to as the USE) in computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT) into a five-point assessment system used to mark marks in the certificate of secondary (complete) general education in 2008:
0 - 38 points - mark "2"
39 - 56 points - mark "3"
57 - 72 points - mark "4"
73 -100 points - mark "5"
2. Federal State Institution "Federal Testing Center" (S.S. Kravtsov) in the preparation of protocols on USE results be guided by paragraph 1 of this order.
3. K the control over the execution of this order shall be entrusted to the Department for Control and Evaluation of the Quality of Education (V.N. Shaulina).
Note: AT 2007 In 1999, the translation scale for the subject of Computer Science was usually not mentioned anywhere in the lists of disciplines. There was only one document on the Internet that regulated the rules for converting USE scores in computer science into grades.)
DEPARTMENT OF CONTROL AND ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION
22.06.2007 № 08-826/12
In connection with the conduct of a unified state exam in informatics on the territory of your subject, we are sending the following recommendations for use in work on establishing a scale for converting points into grades in a general education subject - Informatics:
0 - 24 points - mark "2";
25 - 46 points - mark "3";
47 - 65 points - mark "4";
66 or more points - mark "5".
In 2019 USE year in physics will take about 100,000 graduates. Apparently, many are haunted by the laurels of Mark Zuckerberg and Pavel Durov. However, the final exam in computer science can hardly be called easy.
The minimum USE score in informatics and ICT for admission to a university in 2019 is 40 points
How to file an appeal for disagreement with USE scores
First, you should know that you must file an appeal within 2 days of the official announcement of the results. Due to the fact that the date of the official announcement of the results is never known in advance (only approximate dates are written on the official sites), you should carefully monitor when the results in computer science appear in your personal account. Secondly, keep in mind that Saturday can also be considered a working day, so it is important not to miss the deadline for filing an appeal.
Where can you file an appeal?
Graduates of the 11th grade file an appeal at the flagship school. This "crusade" must begin from your own school. It is at your school that you must report that you intend to protest the points received for the Unified State Examination in Informatics and ICT. They must tell you where and how to do it. It is imperative to download all exam materials in your personal account and show them to the teacher before the appeal in order to understand how to behave during a dialogue with members Conflict Commission.
How to prepare for an appeal
Step 1. Download all USE materials in informatics and ICT from your personal account.
Step 2 Carefully compare the answer sheet to the test questions, which was filled in with your hand, with the so-called "read sheet". What should be checked here? You need to make sure that your answers are correctly interpreted by the computer everywhere, that is, all letters and numbers must match. Sometimes there are "computer" errors that deprive graduates of legitimate points, so such a technical overlay must be challenged on appeal.
Step 3 Carefully review Part II with an experienced teacher and compare the work with the scores received for this part of the work. The problem is that not a single USE participant sees either the tasks themselves or the correct answers to them. Part II in your personal account can be downloaded only in an unverified version. Where the experts found mistakes in you, for which they lowered the points - one can only guess. That is why it is very difficult to deal with this without an experienced mentor. By the way, at the appeal, you may also have points reduced if an unnoticed mistake is found. It is at this stage (after careful verification and analysis) that a detailed line of conduct on appeal to the Conflict Commission can be worked out. We even advise you to write down a plan of your claims with all the arguments in your favor.
Step 4 Be sure to go to the appeal with the teacher or tutor. If you manage to negotiate with your school teacher, then it will be wonderful. If it does not work out, then you can always resort to the paid help of professionals. If you have been studying with a tutor, it is better to take him with you too.
we are ready to provide support to everyone for appealing USE scores in many cities of Russia, since we have the largest network of branches in the country. To do this, you need to go to the main website, find your locality in the top location search bar and contact our employees by phone numbers listed on regional sites.
Attention! To accompany the USE participant to the appeal, it is necessary to issue a notarized power of attorney for the teacher.
2 days to prepare for the appeal is, of course, a very short time, but it will be enough if you are helped by a qualified and experienced teacher. Think for yourself how much money, effort and time was spent preparing for the exam, paying for one trip with you to appeal a teacher or tutor will seem like a drop in the ocean, because there are several primary points Unified State Examination, which, in terms of tests, can turn out to be quite an impressive result. There is no need to remind that in the competition for budget places, each score is literally "worth its weight in gold."
Which university can I enter with points for the Unified State Examination in Informatics
In 2019, about 400 different programs are open for graduates who have successfully passed the Unified State Examination in Informatics and ICT in more than 150 universities of the country. To select a university and faculty, we recommend using the USE calculators. Read about it in our article:
