For many, the OGE is the first serious test, but why is it necessary? The main state exam is needed to assess the student's knowledge over the past nine years of study, this is clear to everyone. Good results in passing this exam are a guarantee for admission to the profile tenth grade, technical school, college or other secondary specialized educational institution.
The system itself for passing such exams is no longer a novelty, but the conversion of OGE scores into familiar grades still raises many questions. The article will help you figure out what grades will allow you to successfully pass the exam and enter specialized institutions.
State certification
It was the introduction of the OGE and the Unified State Examination into the educational system that made it possible to abolish the entrance exams to universities and technical schools. The whole system is based on a single scale for transferring USE scores, thanks to which they receive the final grade. But how do you figure it out?
Educational institutions set their own OGE passing score for admission in various areas of study. In the event that the student's score exceeds the passing level,established by the institution, then the applicant will be enrolled in the ranks of students.
In addition, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation establishes certain gradations for applicants, so the Main State Exam is conducted in accordance with the established requirements.
The OGE passing score makes it possible to understand whether the student succeeded in passing the certification or the exam failed, whether the student has mastered the theoretical minimum of the school course or he will have to re-train in the 9th grade. In turn, the passing threshold of the OGE, set by a secondary specialized educational institution, allows you to determine whether the applicant will be enrolled in the ranks of students of this institution.
A bit of history
Examinations in the form of the Unified State Examination and the OGE have long become familiar to Russian schoolchildren. However, their form, rules and conditions are periodically changed and adjusted. Graduation students, in order not to inadvertently miss important innovations, have to constantly monitor information about updates in the system.
The exam in the form of the Unified State Examination was first held for the eleventh grade in 2001. But at that time, the experiment was carried out only in five areas and only in eight disciplines. Already by 2008, an exam in this form began to be held throughout the country and in almost all subjects.
Transition to tenth grade
To continue studying at school, it is also necessary to pass the OGE. To move to the tenth grade, the student will have to pass two compulsory subjects (Russian language and mathematics), andin addition to them - two additional ones to choose from. And if last year it was allowed to limit itself to only two academic disciplines, then this year a ninth-grader must pass four exams.
To enter classes with one or another educational bias, you will need to prepare for certification in the main subject of the profile. For example, those entering the tenth grade with a legal bias are forced to pass an exam in social science and history, with a linguistic one - a foreign language, and so on.
The modern education system gives the full right to be certified in almost any discipline mastered during the period of study. By the way, it is often difficult for graduates to decide on the choice of a profile direction. Hence the difficulty in choosing special items.
Admission to college
In a similar way, they consider the passing score of the OGE for admission to a technical school. Two main subjects are obligatory for delivery - Russian language and mathematics. This academic year, they added two more mandatory exams in disciplines that applicants can choose on their own. Those entering technical schools for economic speci alties additionally take social studies, and the medical direction - chemistry and biology.
There is also the possibility of entering technical schools for those who did not pass the exam after the eleventh grade. Enrollment in this case takes place on the basis of the results of the OGE exam and, as a rule, immediately for the second year of study.
Graduates of the eleventh grade withtechnical school admissions are usually accepted immediately into the second year, because the first year of secondary special education, as a rule, is devoted exclusively to school programs.
How are points calculated?
The main state exam is mandatory for everyone, but not everyone knows how to calculate their results correctly. The OGE passing score for admission is a certain criterion of knowledge and a guideline in the aspirations of the student.
Minimum criteria for passing the exam are approved for each year. Based on them, a system for transferring points to the usual marks on a five-point scale is established. However, they play a role in deciding whether a student has passed the exam, but not in admission. To accept a student, the admission committee of a technical school takes into account the passing or average passing score.
How to calculate the OGE score?
Each educational institution sets its own lower thresholds for the admission of students. As a rule, the arithmetic mean of the grades of the certificate and (or) the total result of the OGE is taken as the basis. Depending on the maximum indicator approved in the current year, the minimum passing score for admission is set.
Transferring OGE scores to grade
The school translates the final indicator into an assessment according to the approved scale. The result obtained affects the grade in the student's certificate. This translation is advisory in nature. The following data has been approved for 2017:
1. The minimum OGE score, that is, the extreme indicator for passing the exam inRussian - 15, maximum - 39.
A student will receive a mark of "two" if he scores only 14 points or less. "satisfactory" starts from 15, "good" - from 25 and "excellent" - from 34. Moreover, to get a four, you need to score at least 4 points for literacy and at least 6 to earn an five.
2. OGE in mathematics. The passing mark for passing this exam is 8. To get a triple in this discipline, you must score at least 3 points in algebra and 2 points each in geometry and real mathematics.
The maximum possible score for this exam is 32 which includes 14, 11 and 7 in algebra, geometry and real math respectively.
Starting from the minimum passing threshold and up to 14 - a score of "three", from 15 points to 21 - "four", and 22-32 - "excellent".
Applicants with a score of at least 18 are considered for admission to specialized institutions.
3. In physics, you can score a maximum of 40 points. A well-deserved three is at least 10. To earn a four, you need to score at least 20, and for a five - from 31 points.
For admission to specialized institutions, students are recommended whose exam result is at least 30.
4. The maximum result of the exam in chemistry is 34. A triple is guaranteed with nine points scored, a score of "four" - with 18-26, and "five" - with 27 and above.
23 points - the minimum for applicants to specialized institutions.
In addition, the chemistry exam includes a part with a real experiment, which is also scored. The maximum result in this part of the exam is 38, the passing threshold is 9. To mark "excellent" you need to score 29 points, and for a four it is enough from 19 to 28. The acceptable minimum is 25 points.
5. In preparing for the biology test, the student should know that the passing grade for the technical school is 33 points. A graduate who scored from 13 to 25 points in the corresponding exam will receive a three, and a five from 37 to 46.
6. The minimum for geography is 12 points, but this will not be enough for admission to specialized institutions. In this case, the passing score of the OGE must be at least 24. Passing for "excellent" means to score from 27 to 32, and for "good" - from 20 to 26.
7. For the social studies exam, the following translation applies:
- 15-24 - "satisfactory";
- 25-33 - "good";
- 24-39 - "excellent".
30 points is the minimum for those who have chosen to study in this direction.
8. Future students who have chosen the history of their core discipline must score 32 points for admission. For all others, the history score is determined according to the following scheme:
- 13-23 - "three";
- 24-34 - "four";
- 35-44 - "five".
9. To get a C for a literature exam, it is enough to score from 7 to 13 points, 14-18 for a B and at least 19 for a grade."Great". Only applicants who score at least 15 are considered to continue their education in the profile.
10. The computer science exam is assessed in the range from 5 to 22 points, where up to 11 inclusive is a three, up to 17 inclusive is a four, respectively, 18-22 is a mark of "five".
11. The foreign language exam (can be French, Spanish, English and German) is the most voluminous. The maximum possible score for it is 70. The minimum threshold is 28. In addition:
- 29-45 - score three
- 46-58 - score "four"
- 59-70 – grade five.
The minimum score for applicants in the direction is 56.
How to calculate the passing score of the OGE?
Here, too, everything is simple. It is enough to know the approved standards for converting points into grades and your results.
Upon admission, as a rule, two indicators are formed from the OGE scores and grades. The first is the average grade mark of the certificate. It is calculated as the arithmetic mean, that is, the sum of all grades is divided by the number of subjects. The second indicator is the overall result of passing the state exam, that is, the sum of all points scored. More often it leads to percentages that are calculated from the total maximum result.
A reasonable question arises as to whether the OGE affects the grades in the certificate? Yes, it does. The grade obtained by the results of passing the exam is summed up with the received annual grade and divided by two. When rounding, elementarylaws of mathematics. Thus, if the annual grade in the subject is "four", and the exam was passed with a "five", then the arithmetic mean will be 4.5, which, in turn, should be rounded up to five. In the certificate, the graduate will stand "excellent".
Unified state exam
And how many points do you need to score on the exam?
The assessment system of the Unified State Exam does not differ from the OGE assessment system. The minimum passing threshold is set by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and the institutions themselves form the selection criteria, including how many points you need to score on the USE for admission. Therefore, whether there are enough points for the triple, the state decides, and whether it is enough for admission - educational institutions.
Exam result expiry date
All exams have a period during which their results will be valid. For students taking the exam in 2017, this period will be limited to four years. Thus, the points received are valid until May 2021.
If you do not have time to submit documents for the next four years, then you will have to take the exam again for admission. The deadlines for the relevance of the results of the OGE are the same as for the USE. Good luck with your exams everyone!
