File an appeal against the results of the exam. How to appeal the exam? Appeal form for violation of the established procedure for conducting the exam
A few years ago, on appeal for USE scores it was better not to interfere. It was more than problematic to look at your own work properly; accompanying persons, even if they were the parents of the appellant, were mercilessly cut off from attending the commission.
And in order to finally discourage children from complaining about injustice, the appeal commissions were allowed not only to refuse to increase points, but these points lower. And in a number of cases they did just that, after which the movement of the appellants did not quite, according to Radishchev, “get into a stump”, but noticeably subsided for several years.
The new appeal rules are more comfortable for children. Now in Moscow, you can see your work in your personal account, analyze it, consult with the teacher and parents, and only then decide whether to appeal. In addition, for the second year now, public observers have been present at the appeal. However...
Writing an appeal for violations of the procedure is not difficult: the main thing to remember is that this can only be done immediately, without leaving the exam. This is exactly what, we note, during the current campaign, the guys who did not have enough additional forms for the exam in literature did. And their appeals were granted.
But with an attempt to increase the score, the situation is more complicated. Especially in the humanities, with their inevitable interpretative bias: “In the exact sciences,” the mathematics and physics, problems it doesn’t happen with the evaluation of works, including during appeals, because a number is a number, and a formula is a formula - either they are correct or they are not.”
The bulk of the appeals current year still ahead. However, a couple of typical situations can be considered using the example of last year.
This is a very nervous and unpleasant procedure: the children do not understand why they were lowered the score, and sob, and the members of the commission sit with stone faces, do not listen to explanations and insist on their own, - Olga, mother of a graduate of last year, told MK. - Parents they are sure that they have an unspoken order not to raise their grades: they say that in this case they are deprived of bonuses.
And this is very similar to the truth: my daughter, for example, was lowered her score for using not two quotes, but five in her mini-essay in the Russian language exam. And at the appeal they said: “You will download the rights, we will count one more quote and generally lower the score.” In general, they behaved very harshly. The baby started crying and we left.
I filed an appeal in the Russian language, - says a graduate of last year, an excellent student Liza. - I wrote samples for 100 points, but received only 82.
In particular, it seemed unfair to me to reduce the score for the turn of phrase “listen to persuasion” (it was about the dialogue between Lopakhin and Ranevskaya in The Cherry Orchard. - "MK"). But they didn’t add a single point to me: the members of the appeal commission said that they “didn’t hear such a turn of phrase,” although I consulted with the teachers, and they confirmed that it was quite possible. At the same time, there was not a single public observer at the appeal - only two members of the commission ...
Nikita's problem at last year's USE in the Russian language turned out to be typical. He, like many other graduates, had his grades lowered for incorrect, according to the inspectors, definition of the problem and topic of the texts they received.
So, in the case of Nikita, it was believed that the correct answer was "ecology of speech", and not just "ecology", as he wrote. True, the members of his appeal commission were polite and friendly. And they even recognized the reason in the reference of Nikita's mother to the phrase from the keys to the task, which allows interpreting the ecology, which was discussed, in the literal sense of the word. But the appeal was nevertheless rejected, advising to file a complaint with Rosobrnadzor. Mom did just that. And there the rating, although partially, was raised.
However, this happened only at the end of July, when Nikita, with his initial scores, was already forced to enter Moscow State University for paid education ...
Question 1. What documents govern the appeal procedure?
Firstly, the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated December 26, 2013 No. 1400 “On Approval of the Procedure for Conducting the State final certification on educational programs middle general education". See Section X, Reception and Processing of Appeals, paragraphs 76-89.
Secondly, Methodological recommendations on the work of the subject's conflict commission Russian Federation when conducting the state final certification for educational programs of secondary general education in 2018 (Appendix 6 to the letter of Rosobrnadzor dated December 27, 2017 N 10-870).
Question 2: What does an appeal look like? Is there any set form?
Yes, there is an approved form (1-AP). You can find it in the Collection of forms for conducting the GIA on educational programs of secondary general education in 2018. (Appendix 8 to the letter of Rosobrnadzor dated December 27, 2017 No. 10-870).
Question 3. Do I need to justify in the appeal why I do not agree with the scores?
No, the appeal uses the general wording “I ask you to review the results of the USE given to me, as I believe that the answers to the tasks given by me were evaluated (processed) incorrectly.”
You will be able to comment on the assessment of your work directly during the consideration of the appeal, orally.
Question 4. Can a score be lowered as a result of an appeal?
Yes, the assessment can really change for the worse. Based on the results of the consideration of the appeal, a decision is made:
- on the rejection of the appeal and the preservation of the points given (the absence of technical and scoring errors examination work);
- about the satisfaction of the appeal and the change of points (the presence of technical errors and (or) errors in the assessment of the examination paper).
At the same time, if the appeal is satisfied, the number of points previously awarded may change both upwards and downwards in the number of points.
Question 5. How realistic is it to increase the score?
An increase in your score on appeal is always a statement of the fact that your work was not graded correctly on the first review. Of course, to USE experts and the members of the conflict commission have acknowledged the existence of a mistake, they need to present really convincing and weighty arguments. To do this, you must carefully prepare for the appeal, think over your position, and then confidently speak to the members of the conflict commission. In one case, this will give its result, in the other case, even such efforts will not be enough.
Sometimes you don’t need to do anything at all to “beat off” an extra point - you come and they tell you from the threshold that a decision has been made to satisfy the appeal. This is possible if the error made by the expert during the verification is quite obvious.
In general, if there are reasons, increasing the result by 1-3 primary scores is quite real. At the same time, it does not matter how many points you were given initially: the appeal can be satisfied even if you are a high scorer. Last year, two of my students had their scores raised from 71 to 77 and from 91 to 93 respectively. Improved result by 15-20 test scores is, of course, a much rarer story.
Question 6. I believe that my answer to the short answer task (part 1 of the Unified State Examination in History) was assessed incorrectly. Can I file an appeal about this?
The only option when, as a result of the appeal, the score for the task of Part 1 of the Unified State Examination in History can be increased, is if a technical error is found in the processing of the appellant's examination paper.
For example, the correct answer is “NIKOLIVTOROY”, you wrote “NIKOLIVTOROY”, but the computer recognized your entry as “MYKOLIVTOROY”, and therefore the point was not counted. This is a technical error that must be recorded and corrected when considering the appeal.
If you were able to solve the task correctly, but filled out the form incorrectly, you will not be able to increase the score on the appeal.
The conflict commission is not entitled to apply changes to answers to tasks with a short answer in the case when, when recording the answer, the appellant used the recording form (including symbols) that contradicts the instructions for the KIM task, as well as the Rules for filling out the USE forms (paragraph 14 of section 8 of the Guidelines for the work of the conflict commission).
Question 7. I mixed up and entered the wrong answer on the form, but everything was written correctly in my draft. Can I refer to the draft when considering an appeal?
There is an unambiguous answer to this: the conflict commission not considers drafts (as well as KIMs) of the USE participant as appeal materials (point 6 of section 4 of the Methodological recommendations on the work of the conflict commission).
Question 8: How long does it take to file an appeal?
The appeal is filed within two business days following the official day of the announcement of the exam results.
The official day of the announcement of the results of the Unified State Examination in the history of 2018 - June 20, 2018 (not later than the specified date). This follows from the 2018 USE History Appeals Processing Schedule published on the USE official website. Note that the wording " not later than the specified date". Theoretically, the official day of the announcement of the exam results could be earlier.
In this matter, I would be guided by the information of each specific region, or rather, the Regional Information Processing Center (RCIC).
Question 9: Can an appeal be withdrawn?
Yes, the USE participant has the right to withdraw the appeal of disagreement with the points given within one working day following the day of filing the specified appeal, but no later than the day of the meeting of the conflict commission.
To do this, you must write a statement of withdrawal of the appeal and submit it to your school.
More details - paragraph 4 of section 5 of the Methodological recommendations on the work of the conflict commission
Question 10: What happens if I don't show up on the scheduled date for the appeal hearing?
The appeal will still be considered. Obviously, in this case, there will be less chances for an increase in points, because. the conflict committee will not even be able to hear your arguments - why you do not agree with the assessment.
Question 11: Who can come with me to the appeal hearing?
According to paragraph 80 of the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated December 26, 2013 No. 1400, if desired, the appellant and (or) his parents (legal representatives). Legal representatives are understood as adoptive parents, guardians, trustees, etc.
In official documents, I did not find a direct answer to the question of whether teacher or tutor. At the same time, I have heard stories more than once that students sometimes come to appeal with their teachers, having previously taken care of issuing a notarized power of attorney.
For power of attorney, see Articles 185 - 189 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation
Question 12. How long does it take to process an appeal?
The time recommended for consideration of one appeal (including explanations for evaluating detailed answers) is no more than 30 minutes. During the consideration of the appeal, the involved expert, if necessary, provides clarifications on the evaluation of detailed answers, this should take no more than 20 minutes (paragraphs 10 and 15 of section 8 of the Guidelines for the work of the conflict commission).
In practice, it is far from always that half an hour is allocated for each job. Be prepared for the whole process to take 10-20 minutes.

A list of the main points to pay attention to when filing an appeal.
The exam has begun and the first results will appear soon. Some of the graduates will breathe a sigh of relief when they see them, and someone will think that in fact he deserves more, and the grade given by the inspectors does not reflect his real level of knowledge. What to do in this case?
The answer lies on the surface - graduates who want to challenge the result of the exam can resort to an appeal - a procedure aimed at protecting the rights of the examinees. Whether it's worth it or not is ultimately up to each individual. On the one hand, this, of course, is additional stress and risk. But sometimes one or two extra points can be decisive when entering a university, and therefore there are always those who are ready to go all the way.
In what cases can an appeal be filed?
There are two such cases. The first is the contestation of the very procedure for conducting the exam, the violation of which led to the fact that you could not write the exam as successfully as possible.
The second option is to challenge the points obtained on the exam. Let's consider each of the above options in a little more detail.
Appeal for violation of procedure conducting the exam
In this case, the appeal must be filed immediately after the end of the exam, and before the student leaves the class. It is required to write an application in two copies - the first of them goes to the conflict commission, and the second remains with the graduate. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that a member of the examination committee puts a note on the application that the document has been accepted for consideration.
The application must also be registered in a special journal and considered within two days after submission. The date, place and time of the procedure must be communicated to the student and his parents or legal representatives.
As a result, the commission may satisfy the requirements of the student, or, on the contrary, decide that they are groundless. A positive decision of the commission means that the result of the work will be canceled, and the student will be able to rewrite the exam - special days are allocated for this in the schedule. If the decision is negative, the exam result remains unchanged.
Appeal in case of disagreement with the results of the exam
In this case, the appeal must be filed within two working days from the date of announcement of the results of the exam in the subject. As in the previous case, you will need to write two copies of the application, sending one of them to the conflict commission, and keeping the second for yourself. The application must be marked that it is drawn up in the form and accepted for consideration.
The decision to hold an appeal must be made no later than 4 working days after the receipt of such an application by the conflict commission. Each application goes through a registration process, and information regarding the date, time and place of the appeal is communicated to the student (his parents or legal representatives).
At the appeal, the student must be shown a package of his documents and a written conclusion of the commission on the subject. At this stage, you need to be especially careful: the student will have to sign that, for example, the scanned work with answers belongs to him. Members of the Appeal Panel must be clear about why certain scores were awarded. The procedure usually takes no more than 20 minutes per student. Based on its results, the commission can make the following decisions:
- reject the student's requirements and keep the points given if no technical or other errors were found in the assessment process;
- satisfy the appeal and change the scores if errors were found. At the same time, it should be remembered that the scores can be revised both in one direction and the other (increased or reduced).
What is important to do before the appeal?
First of all, it is necessary to refresh your work in memory to the maximum in order to have arguments for defending your own point of view.
You should also carefully read the scoring criteria to understand how objective you think the commission's decision on each item is;
approach the subject teacher or tutor with whom you were preparing for the exam - they will help you sort out the ambiguous points and give recommendations on how to behave and explain your opinion.
It is also important that for each item with which you do not agree, it is necessary to formulate an exact question to the commission in advance so that the conversation is substantive, and you could explain why you did it this way and not in another way. Argumentation supported by concrete facts always looks more compelling.
How to behave on appeal?
Here you can advise the following:
First, go to your appeal with a parent or other adult who can represent you. Yesterday's schoolboy, most likely, will be confused in the face of the conflict commission. In addition, he may be given an answer devoid of specifics. Mom, dad or another close person will help you feel much more confident, and their opinion and arguments can play a decisive role in the dispute.
Second: insist that the work be rechecked in your presence. Quite often, the graduate is told that the work has already been rechecked, and the commission decided to leave the result unchanged. Remember that this state of affairs grossly violates your rights - an absentee appeal is possible only if the student and his representatives simply did not appear for the procedure. The final decision on the work must be made in the presence of the appellant, and the members of the commission must explain each deducted point.
Third: do not leave the venue of the appeal until an exhaustive explanation of the work and decision of the commission has been given. All low scores must meet the criteria put forward for evaluating the work, so do not accept as an answer the general wording that the scores for the solved CMM are already high enough. Until you are satisfied with the explanation for each deducted point, do not sign the appeal documents.
Fourth: don't give up halfway. If you have already decided to appeal, then, by and large, there is nothing to lose.
Fifth: don't be afraid to appeal. Be calm and confident. Think of this procedure as an opportunity to defend your interests. Remember that a significant part of the students who are not satisfied with their results are simply afraid to go to the appeal so as not to lose their points. Of course, if a member of the commission finds additional errors during the check, the points may be revised downward. However, general statistics show that points are usually raised more often than they are lowered.
In order to protect the rights of exam participants during the GIA, a conflict commission (hereinafter referred to as the CC) is created, which is designed to resolve controversial issues not only in assessing the examination work, but also in compliance with the requirements of the GIA procedure.
The GIA participant has the right to appeal to the CC in writing:
- on violation of the established procedure for conducting the exam in the relevant subject;
- about disagreement with the points.
The Conflict Commission does not consider appeals on:
The student submits an appeal about violation of the established procedure for conducting the GIA on the day of the exam in the relevant academic subject to an authorized representative of the SEC, without leaving the PES.
In order to verify the information contained in the appeal about the violation of the established procedure for conducting the GIA, an authorized representative of the SEC organizes an audit with the participation of the organizers, technical specialists in working with the software, specialists in briefing and providing laboratory work not involved in the classroom in which the student took the exam, public observers, law enforcement officers, medical workers, as well as assistants providing the necessary technical assistance to students with handicapped health.
The results of the audit are drawn up in the form of a conclusion. The appeal and the conclusion on the results of the audit are transmitted on the same day by the authorized representative of the SEC to the conflict commission.
When considering an appeal on a violation of the established procedure for conducting a GIA, the conflict commission considers the appeal, a conclusion on the results of the audit and makes one of the following decisions:
- to dismiss the appeal;
- on the appeal.
If the appeal is satisfied, the result of the exam, according to which the students filed an appeal, is canceled and the student is given the opportunity to take the exam in the corresponding academic subject on another day, provided for by the GIA schedule.
An appeal of disagreement with the points given, including the results of rechecking the examination work, is submitted by the participants of the State Examination Examination or their parents (legal representatives) on the basis of identification documents, within two working days following the official day of the announcement of the results of the State Examination in the corresponding academic subject , directly to the conflict commission or to the educational organization in which they were admitted to the GIA. The head of the educational organization, who accepted the appeal, sends it to the conflict commission within one working day after receiving it.
Students and their parents (legal representatives) are informed in advance about the time and place of consideration of appeals.
When considering an appeal of disagreement with the points given, the conflict commission requests to the RCOI printed images of the examination paper, electronic media containing files with digital audio recordings of the student's oral answers, copies of the protocols for checking the examination paper by the subject committee and examination materials performed by the student who filed the appeal.
These materials are presented to the student (with his participation in the consideration of the appeal).
The student (for students under the age of 14, in the presence of parents (legal representatives) confirms in writing that he has been presented with images of the examination paper he completed, files with a digital audio recording of his oral answer (in case of his participation in the consideration of the appeal).
Based on the results of the consideration of the appeal of disagreement with the scores, the conflict commission decides to reject the appeal and retain the scores, or to satisfy the appeal and change the scores. At the same time, if the appeal is satisfied, the number of points previously awarded may change both upwards and downwards in the number of points. Consideration of an appeal of disagreement with the points assigned is carried out within four working days following the day of its receipt by the conflict commission.
In case of detection of errors in the processing and (or) verification of the examination paper, the conflict committee transmits the relevant information to the RCSC in order to recalculate the results of the State Examination.
After approval, the results of the GIA are transferred to educational organizations, local governments, foreign institutions and founders to familiarize students with the results they have received.
The biggest fear of graduates is to get USE scores lower than planned. But a wrong answer is far from the only reason for a low score. We figure out in which cases it is worth filing an appeal and how to defend your points in 2018.
There are only two official reasons to file an appeal
Firstly, this is a violation of the procedure for conducting the exam - for example, if there were not enough draft sheets for everyone in the audience, or repairmen were noisy with might and main in the corridor. In such cases, the appeal must be filed on the same day, without leaving the school where the exam was held.
Secondly, it is a disagreement with the points given. For example, if the computer incorrectly recognized the words and letters in the test part of the answer, or if the experts, in your opinion, underestimated the written part or essay. Here you need to apply for an appeal within 2 working days after the official publication of the results in the subject. That is, you don’t have to wait until the school posts the lists with scores on the bulletin board (it can do this even a week later), but check the results yourself in your personal account on the official portal of the Unified State Exam.
Deadline for filing a complaint with the conflict commission
If a controversial situation arose during the exam, and the graduate is not satisfied with the grade, it is possible to solve this problem with the participation of a special conflict commission.
For submission of an application by the GIA participant, certain deadlines. On the day of the exam, immediately after passing the exam form, you can file a complaint about the violation of the GIA in the subject
Within two working days, after receiving the results of the exam, you can dispute the score obtained as a result of the assessment.
The commission does not deal with issues related to the content of examination tasks. Does not consider complaints in case of a short answer from the graduate, if the graduate violates the current procedure, or if the design of the work does not meet the requirements for the USE. As arguments for the appeal, students' draft work is not taken into account.
The procedure for appealing the results of the USE 2018
- Within 2 working days after I officially got acquainted with the results, receive from the responsible secretary of the conflict commission (for graduates of the current year - from the head of their educational institution) a form in 2 copies, according to which the appeal is drawn up (it is possible to draw up an appeal in any form).
- Make an appeal in 2 copies.
- Transfer both copies to the above persons (who are required to accept and certify them with their signature, give one copy to the USE participant, and transfer the other to the conflict commission).
- Get information about the time and place of the appeal hearing.
- Come to the procedure for considering appeals to the conflict commission, having a passport and a stamped pass with you.
- Confirm on the appeal record that you have been shown copies of your forms and that your answers on the forms are correct.
- Participate in the appeal.
- Sign the minutes of the appeal.
What should be done before the day of the appeal?
It is quite clear that the passage of such an exciting procedure as an appeal will require a certain moral and psychological preparation. Here are a few helpful tips to help you:
Refresh your work. After the announcement of the scores, the work of schoolchildren is exhibited in their personal accounts. Carefully read the scoring criteria to understand how objective you think the commission's decision on each item is;
approach the subject teacher or tutor with whom you were preparing for the exam - they will help you sort out the ambiguous points and give recommendations on how to behave and explain your opinion. In some cases, teachers can prove to you that there is no mistake, so you should not waste time and nerves on appeal procedures;
for each point with which you disagree, formulate an exact question to the commission in advance so that the conversation is substantive, and you can explain why you used this or that argument, quote, analogy or characterization.
Argumentation supported by concrete facts looks more weighty.
