The system for passing the Unified State Examination, which is both a graduation from a secondary educational institution and an assessment score when entering a university, was introduced gradually in the Russian Federation, being introduced and improved in several stages. Since 2001, the USE has been introduced in some regions of the country, the system became mandatory throughout Russia by 2009.
Now it is already impossible to imagine entering a university without passing the exam. But in life there are exceptional cases when a person, for whatever reason, wants to receive further education without passing the exam. And the question of where to go without the exam is asked annually by more than a dozen young people in our country.
Reasons for missing USE results
The results of the exam may be missing in the following cases:
- Citizens who have received secondary education in another state. So if a foreigner wonders where to go without the Unified State Examination in the Russian Federation, then the answer iswill be positive from almost any university. A foreign citizen only needs to submit to the selected institution a document confirming the completion of a secondary educational institution in the country from which he arrived. The Government of the Russian Federation provides for quotas for the number of foreign students.
- Citizens with disabilities or limited physical and mental capabilities. Such citizens are admitted to universities (not all) without the Unified State Examination, or they can take entrance exams within the university. However, for this category of citizens, almost every institution has a quota.
- Secondary educational institution was completed before the introduction of the Unified State Examination, or a lot of time has passed since the passing of the Unified State Exam.
- Unfortunately, the human factor can also play a cruel joke - people who are late, overslept or too busy can also miss the opportunity to pass the exam.
- Not enough scores for admission based on the results of the exam.
The lucky ones who don't have to take the USE
The lucky ones include:
- School students who successfully participated in the All-Russian Olympiads and became their winners. Such students will be admitted to any university without the Unified State Examination or other exams, but only on the basis of winning such Olympiads.
- Students who took part and won the Olympiad from the university. Trying to win such an Olympiad is real, having thoroughly prepared for it in advance and knowing the conditions.
- Those who wish to have a second higher education are also exempt from the mandatory presence of the Unified State Examination. Such citizens must present a diploma from the first university and pass a test or examination inside the new one.
- Students admitted to a university on the basis of a transfer from another educational institution or who have taken academic leave and wish to recover do not take the exam.
Where can I enter without the exam? Foreign universities, for example, accept Russian citizens even without the Unified State Examination. To do this, you need to clarify which exams you need to pass on the spot at the selected university. Sometimes you don't need to take exams at all.
Come back next year or two or three years later
There is, of course, the option of re-taking exams in a year, if you don’t feel sorry for the time and you are ready to carefully study textbooks and go to tutors for the sake of passing the exam during this year. And in the breaks between the textbook and the repeater, you can start working and get your first salary.
Another long-term option is to go to college or technical school, study there for two or three years and get a speci alty, and then apply to a university. In order not to lose precious years, you can go to college and on the basis of nine classes.
Where you can go after college without the exam, you decide. However, it should be remembered that the university will not require you to pass the exam and will offer an accelerated program if you want to study in the same profile as in college.
Where can I apply with a certificate without the exam?
What to do if the exams are passed, the certificate is received, but the passing score for the university is insufficient? No options hereso much. Do not forget the option of secondary vocational education. The doors of a technical school or college, where you can enter without the exam, are always open for you. After graduating from such educational institutions, you can enter a university.
If you still want to get a "tower" without wasting a year on secondary vocational education, you should consider universities where you can enter without the Unified State Examination in absentia or remotely. True, this option often involves paid education.
You can also consider the creative areas of professions. Fortunately, in the creative departments, little attention is paid to the number of points scored, and in order to enter them, you need to pass creative exams, you just need to show talent.
Mathematics is the queen of sciences
Mathematics is an important subject when passing the exam. Since 2015, it has also been divided into 2 levels - basic mathematics and profile. That is, if a student plans to enter a faculty where mathematics is a compulsory subject, then profile mathematics should be chosen. Basic mathematics is a little easier to pass, but it is not taken into account when entering a university and is required only when receiving a graduation certificate.
If you are the owner of a humanitarian mindset and the exact sciences are not quite for you, then in this case it is better to choose the basic level of mathematics. There are plenty of humanitarian universities where you can enter without the Unified State Examination in specialized mathematics in our country. However, it should be remembered that in some regions the university will count two exams, and upon admissionyou will need to pass an internal exam at the educational institution.
Universities where you can enter without the exam
Of course, such institutions are primarily all theatrical, vocal, artistic and humanitarian. Let's list those specializations for which admission is not required to take exams, or there is no USE at the profile level of mathematics:
- journalism;
- all medical areas (dentistry, pediatrics, general medicine, medical biochemistry, biophysics, etc.) - in this case, you should intensively prepare for biology, physics, chemistry;
- veterinary;
- acting;
- musical direction;
- art direction;
- customs;
- philology;
- psychology;
- jurisprudence;
- foreign languages;
- Faculty of Physical Education;
- social work;
- culturology;
- foreign relations;
- tourism and more.
You just need to familiarize yourself with the corresponding "List of areas and speci alties" that each university has.
Study, study and study again
In conclusion, it's really never too late to learn. Much depends on your life goals and your own desire to get this or that education.
Life circumstances may turn out so that any education (even three-monthcourses, not to mention higher education) can be very useful and subsequently become the main source of income. So study must be taken with all seriousness and responsibility and never neglect it.
