Exam test scores. Primary and test (secondary) USE scores: what is the difference? USE score conversion scale: mathematics profile level
The 2018-2019 academic year will be the graduation year for many Russian schoolchildren who are already concerned about successfully passing the Unified State Exam and successfully entering a good university.
We will tell you how exam papers are checked in various subjects, how the scale for converting USE scores into grades works, and what innovations can be expected in 2019.
Principles for evaluating the work of the USE 2019
For several recent years USE system in a number of subjects has undergone significant changes and was brought to the optimal (according to the organizers) format, which allows to fully assess the amount of knowledge of the graduate in a particular subject.
No fundamental changes are expected in 2018-2019, and we can say with confidence that the same principles will be applied to evaluate the work of graduates as in 2017-2018:
- automated verification of forms;
- involvement of experts in checking tasks with detailed answers.
How does the computer evaluate?
The first part of the examination paper involves a short answer to the questions posed, which the USE participant must enter in a special answer form.
Important! Before starting the work, be sure to read the rules for filling out the form, as an incorrectly executed work will not pass an automated check.
It is quite difficult to challenge the result of a computer check. If the work was not counted due to the fault of the participant who incorrectly filled out the form, the result is equated to unsatisfactory.
How do experts evaluate?
In many subjects, in addition to the test part, there are tasks that require a full detailed answer. Since it is impossible to automate the process of checking such answers, experts are involved in the verification - experienced teachers with a long work experience.
Checking USE teacher does not know (and even with a strong desire cannot find out) whose work lies before him and in what city (region) it was written. Verification is carried out on the basis of uniform assessment criteria developed specifically for each subject. Each work is checked by two experts. If the opinion of the experts coincides, the assessment is put on the form, but if independent appraisers disagree, then a third expert is involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.
That is why it is important to write legibly and accurately so that there is no ambiguous interpretation of words and phrases.
Primary and test scores
Based on the results of the test, the USE participant is awarded a certain number of primary points, which are then transferred to text (points for the entire test). In different subjects, a different maximum of primary points is provided, depending on the number of tasks. But after bringing the result according to the corresponding table, the USE participant receives the final test score, which is the official result of his graduation tests (maximum 100 points).
So, in order to pass the exam, it is enough to score the established minimum threshold for the initial score:
Minimum points |
||
primary | test |
|
Russian language | ||
Mathematics (profile) | ||
Computer science | ||
Social science | ||
Foreign languages | ||
Biology | ||
Geography | ||
Literature |
Focusing on these numbers, you can accurately understand that the exam has been passed. But what kind of assessment? The online scale of 2018 will help you with this, designed specifically for converting primary USE scores into test ones, which will also be relevant for the results of 2019. A handy calculator can be found on the website 4ege.ru.
Announcement of official results
Graduates are always concerned about the question - how quickly you can find out what result was obtained when passing and what will be the scale for converting points scored on the exam into traditional grades in 2019.
Teachers are often taken to reassure students by working through the tasks of the USE tickets immediately after the exam and evaluating the quality of the work done by the pupils and the amount of primary points scored. Official results must be expected for 8-14 days, according to the established regulations for the USE-2019. On average, the organizers approve the following inspection schedules:
- 3 days to check the work;
- 5-6 days for information processing at the federal level;
- 1 working day to approve the results of the SEC;
- 3 days to post results online and transfer data to educational institutions.
In the event of unforeseen situations and technical problems, these terms may be revised.
You can find out the owl score:
- directly at your school;
- on the check.ege.edu.ru portal;
- on the gosuslugi.ru website.
Converting points to grade
Since 2009, the results of the USE have not been included in the graduate certificate. Therefore, today there is no official state system transferring the USE result into an assessment on a school 5-point scale. As part of the introductory campaign, the test score scored in the exam is always summed up and taken into account. But, many students are still interested to know how they passed the exam - 3 or 4, 4 or 5. For this, there is a special table that details the correspondence for each of the 100 points for each of the subjects.
Russian language | ||||
Mathematics | ||||
Computer science | ||||
Social science | ||||
Foreign languages | ||||
Biology | ||||
Geography | ||||
Literature |
Using such a table is quite inconvenient. It is much easier to find out how you passed the Russian language, mathematics or history using the 4ege.ru online calculator, which also contains the USE score conversion scale, which is relevant for 2019 graduates.
Having received the result of the exam, it is worth deciding on the university as soon as possible, comparing your capabilities with the real competition for the specialties of interest. Thus, the practice of past years shows that in some cases it is difficult to get into the most popular areas in the capital's universities even with high scores, because not only the winners of the 100-point USE results, but also the winners of the largest Olympiads of the 2018-2019 academic year will compete for places.
When passing the exam testing, students are asked to complete 24 basic tasks from the first part. They require graduates to provide a short answer, which is recorded in verbal or digital form. The second part of the exam testing contains only one task. Students are asked to write an essay.
How is the transfer of USE scores in the Russian language carried out and what is the minimum and maximum number of them that can be obtained? These issues are one of the most exciting for both high school students themselves, and for their parents and teachers. After checking the final test, a primary score is set: from 0 to 58. For each task, a certain number of them is provided: from 1 to 5. The more difficult it is, the more points the graduate receives. Evaluation of the results of writing an essay is carried out in a different way. For him, students can be awarded from 0 to 24 points.
Then the primary scores are converted into test scores. They are indicated in the certificate of the unified state examination. It is this result that is taken into account when entering universities.
How many points do you need to score to talk about successful delivery testing? It should be borne in mind that students who have received a certificate may not always qualify for admission to universities. Talk about the successful assimilation of the basic general educational program and the possibility of entering a university is possible only if the student scored 16 primary, or 36 test scores, respectively. will be taken into account in the student's rating in the list of applicants. The average passing score is at least 65-75. Graduates planning to enter leading universities in Moscow and other cities of our country should take into account the fact that in this case this figure will be higher.
Translation of USE scores in Russian is carried out using a special scale. It should be borne in mind that the algorithm is adjusted from year to year.

Correspondence between the primary scores of the Unified State Examination 2018 and test scores in all academic subjects according to the 100-point assessment system is determined by the documents of Rosobrnadzor.
Scale for transferring USE scores 2018 to 100 point system
To confirm the development of the educational program of secondary general education for each subject, except for the exam in mathematics basic level, the minimum number of USE points is set according to a 100-point grading system.
There is also a minimum number of points for each subject of the Unified State Examination required for admission to universities. Below this level, universities are not allowed to set their own minimum scores with which applicants will be accepted.
But above - they can. Therefore, these scores should be based on (and not guided by) if you decide to get higher education.
The difference in the minimum scores for obtaining a certificate and entering a university is only in the Russian language.
Validity of results - 4 years following the year of receipt of such results.
The desire to know your results immediately is quite understandable, but you should wait a bit. On average, papers are checked for one to two weeks, depending on the number of students taking the exam. For example, a large number of children take the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, on average, about 700 thousand people annually.
This is a big exam, so the results will be out in about two weeks. And the results in the literature can be obtained much faster. The deadlines for issuing results to participants are determined by Rosobrnadzor and published on the ege.edu.ru portal.
All 11th grade students who will take the USE in 2019 are interested in the question of how primary scores will be transferred to secondary ones and what will be the scale of conformity of results USE for school estimates.
We offer to delve into the issue of scoring for compulsory subjects final exams and find out what results can be considered sufficient for admission to a university in subjects of choice.
EGE assessment 2019
Important! There will be no cardinal changes in the system for assessing examination papers in 2019, and the scale for converting primary scores into test scores, developed for the previous USE season, will be relevant for most subjects.
An exception to the rule will be biology and social studies, for which some innovations in KIMs are provided, which entailed a slight change in the maximum primary score, namely:
As in 2018, checking final works will be done in two ways:
- using automated electronic systems, recognizing the standard form of answers to the Unified State Examination 2019;
- with the involvement of experts who will have to manually evaluate the detailed responses of increased and high level difficulties.
When checking the work, the graduate will be counted primary scores (hereinafter referred to as PB), and after that they will be transferred to a test score (hereinafter referred to as TB), which will be the resulting one, counted as the official result of the exam.
Score correspondence tables for compulsory subjects
Despite loud promises to expand the circle compulsory exams for graduates of the 11th grade, in this academic year Mathematics and Russian remain compulsory. The prospect of introducing history and in English actively discussed and studied by experts.
For each subject of the USE 2019, there is a correspondence table, according to which the transfer of primary scores will take place.
Russian language
The Russian language exam will be the main one in 2019 as well. Translation of the primary scores received by the examinee based on the results of the test of Parts I and II examination card USE 2019 in secondary (resulting, test) scores will be carried out according to the following correspondence table.
Thus, to obtain a document on education, it is enough for a graduate to score 10 PB (24 TB), but only those who score at least 16 PB (36 TB) will be able to join the fight for a budgetary place in one of the universities in Russia.
Mathematics
The results of the USE in mathematics at the basic level are not considered when entering a university, and in order to receive a certificate, those who pass this exam need only get 7 (out of 20 possible) primary points, which will correspond to a grade of "3".
Graduates who pass mathematics at the profile level in 2019, having calculated the primary score, can independently determine the result by transferring from primary scores to secondary (test) ones according to the following table:
Score correspondence tables for elective subjects
The difference between the interpretation of the results in the subjects of mathematics and Russian, as well as other disciplines of the Unified State Examination 2019, is that for compulsory subjects, when translating primary points, they distinguish separately the minimum threshold for obtaining a certificate and separately the lower limit of the result that allows you to apply to the university. For all items of choice, these two lower bounds are the same.
Biology
The minimum passing grade for Biology in 2019 will be 16 PB, which is equivalent to 32 TB.
Story
Those who have overcome the minimum threshold in history for the USE in 2019 will be considered the guys who scored 9 PB, which the translation of primary points set in the table interprets as 32 out of 100 possible TB.
Computer science
The maximum primary score in computer science is 35, and to overcome minimum threshold it is enough to get only 6 points, which, according to the table below, corresponds to 40 TB out of 100 possible.
Social science
In order to gain the desired 100 TB for many at the upcoming Unified State Examination in Social Studies 2019, the participant final certification you will need to get the maximum possible 64 primary points. In this case, the minimum threshold for the subject will be 21 PB or 42 TB.
Chemistry
A maximum of 60 primary points can be obtained for a perfectly executed job. At the same time, the minimum result that allows you to receive documents on education and try to continue your education will be a threshold of 13 PB or 36 TB.
Physics
The discipline is rightfully considered one of the most difficult among USE subjects optionally. Although the minimum threshold is only 10 PB (33 TB) points, not everyone can overcome it. But, having received a high result, a graduate can confidently enter the struggle for a budgetary place in the best technical universities countries.
Geography
Today, the subject does not belong today to the popular disciplines of the Unified State Examination, because only a few universities that provide training with a narrow specialization require this certificate. If you are determined to take this particular subject, it will not be so difficult to overcome the lower bar of 10 PB (respectively, 34 TB). If you need a certificate with close to the maximum result, you should pay as much attention to preparation as possible.
Literature
An exam that is often chosen by guys who want to connect their lives with journalism or other creative professions. The minimum threshold for literature in 2019 will be 14 PB = 30 TB, and the maximum score of 100 points can be obtained by earning 58 out of 58 possible starting points.
Foreign languages
Calculation of points for foreign languages the simplest, because for this group of subjects of the USE 2019 there is a direct transfer of primary scores to test scores according to the one-to-one system.
1 PB = 1 TB
As a minimum threshold for 2019, a result of 22 points was adopted.
Conclusion
The minimum scores indicated in the tables give a hypothetical opportunity to participate in the struggle for a budget place. In practice, passing scores to the university are much higher. This indicator varies from year to year and depends on the number of applicants applying for a particular specialty and the results of their USE certificates.
Find out what was the passing score for the specialty you are interested in, as well as what certificates are required to participate in the competition for budget places, you can on the website of the university to which you plan to apply.
If you are interested in what grade the received test score corresponds to, use the unofficial table for interpreting the results of the USE 2019:
On this page you will find the translation scale exam points grades in all subjects. It is also possible to find out when the results of the exam will be known. In addition, you may be interested in who checks the exam forms and how.

USE Score Transfer Scale 2014
USE score conversion formula
The scale for converting primary USE scores into test scores is shown in the table. YOU can also calculate your score using the formula below.
where t is the USE test score on a 100-point system, which goes to the USE certificate, 0 is the primary score of the person who passed the USE, 0 min is the score corresponding to one primary score, 0max - score corresponding to the primary score, one less than the maximum possible. Round the result to an integer. Zero primary score corresponds to 0 points for the USE, and the maximum primary score corresponds to 100 points for the USE.
The scale for converting USE scores 2014 into grades is Russian.
