Where do graduates of previous years retake the Unified State Exam? How to apply for the Unified State Exam for past graduates

The 2018-2019 school year has just begun, which means it’s time for eleventh-graders to find out how the most “terrible” test of their lives – the Unified State Exam – will take place. Let us remind you how the Unified State Examination will take place in 2019, what subjects are compulsory, how long the Unified State Exam results are valid, how to retake the Unified State Exam if the grade is bad, and how to pass the Unified State Exam for a graduate of previous years.

Required subjects for passing the Unified State Exam in 2019

In recent years, there have been constant rumors about expanding the list of compulsory subjects for passing the Unified State Exam, so it would be useful to remind you which subjects are mandatory in 2019 and which are not.

In fact, compared to many previous years, there will be no changes in 2019, and there are two mandatory subjects for the Unified State Exam:

• Russian language,
• mathematics.

The only change that came into force relatively recently is that the graduate needs to decide which exam in mathematics he will take - a basic level of difficulty or a specialized, more complex version.

The innovation, according to which mathematics was divided into two levels of complexity, is more than justified. Some graduates will have enough basic knowledge from the high school curriculum, and later in their studies a deep knowledge of mathematics will not be useful to them. At the same time, for others, mathematics is one of the foundations of their future specialty; deep knowledge is required at the university they have chosen, and the depth of knowledge for more serious requirements can be tested in a specialized exam.

By the way, a graduate has the right to take both versions of the mathematics exam if he so desires.

In principle, these two exams are enough to obtain a certificate of completion of eleven classes. All other exams are the choice of the student himself, and you can take any number of them. Let us remind you that in addition to the mandatory exams in 2019, you can take the Unified State Exam in the following elective subjects:

• biology,
• geography,
• foreign languages ​​(English, German, French and Spanish),
• computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT),
• story,
• literature,
• social science,
• physics,
• chemistry.

It is clear that eleventh-graders take a choice of exams, the results of which will be required for admission to the university of their choice for their chosen specialty.

Let us also remind you that admission to the Unified State Exam for current graduates will be the one that eleventh graders will write in the winter. The essay is assessed according to the credit system, that is, in fact, whether the student writes it as a C or as an A, it makes no difference - he will receive a pass and be admitted to the Unified State Examination.

How long are Unified State Exam results valid?

Unified State Examination results are valid for four years. Thus, those who take the Unified State Exam in 2019 will be able to manage their results until 2023. And, accordingly, in 2019 it will not be too late for those who took the Unified State Exam in 2015 or later to submit their results of the Unified State Examinations for admission to a university.

As for those who take the Unified State Exam in 2019 and receive a score below the minimum required, the retake deadline depends on which exam they failed. If this is one of the compulsory subjects, you will be able to retake the Unified State Exam in September 2019. If this is one of the optional exams, then no earlier than in 2020.

When will the Unified State Exam schedule be known in 2019?

The official Unified State Exam schedule for 2019 should appear at the beginning of the calendar year. Usually the order of the Ministry of Education and Science appears in early January. Let’s say in 2017 this order was issued on January 9 – the first working day of the year. Until this moment, work is underway on the Unified State Exam schedule, and it is also considered not entirely appropriate to publish the schedule, even if it is ready earlier.

By the way, even in January the Unified State Exam schedule is published with a note that it is preliminary and can be adjusted closer to the summer.

How to pass the Unified State Exam for a graduate of previous years in 2019

Those who passed the Unified State Exam before 2015 and whose results are invalid, those who want to get a higher score in a particular subject than they received in 2015 or later, as well as those who completely graduated from school before the era of unified state exams are allowed if necessary, take the Unified State Exam together with current year graduates.

In order to pass the Unified State Exam for a graduate of previous years in 2019, you must, first of all, prepare for the exam, and also notify the local education department of your desire. You will need to write an application, indicate those subjects for which you want to take the Unified State Exam, present a passport and a certificate of education.

Since a graduate from previous years already has a certificate of education, he does not need to write a final essay or take compulsory subjects. Except, of course, for those cases when the university where a person wants to enter requires valid Unified State Examination results in Russian or mathematics, and the result of the final essay is also important.

A graduate of previous years can take the Unified State Exam in any city; the deadline is either early or together with the main stream.

Graduates of previous years who plan to take the Unified State Exam in the early and main periods must submit an application before February 1st of each year. Graduates of previous years studying in educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education, foreign citizens submit applications and register to take the Unified State Exam in the municipal or regional education authority, depending on the scheme approved in the given region.

February 1st is the deadline for accepting applications to take the Unified State Exam in the early and main periods.

Schoolchildren do not have to worry, the school will send an application for them to select Unified State Exam subjects. Until this time, they had to finally decide on the subjects in which they plan to take the Unified State Exam.

But everyone else who wants to take the Unified State Exam - from among graduates of previous years, students of colleges and technical schools, receiving primary and secondary vocational education, as well as those who studied in foreign educational organizations must submit an application until February 1 at the application point on one's own.

The application is submitted by the participant personally on the basis of an identification document, or by his parents (legal representatives) on the basis of an identification document, or by authorized persons on the basis of an identification document and a power of attorney executed in the prescribed manner.

Graduates of previous years have the right to take the Unified State Exam even if they have valid Unified State Exam results from previous years.

Unified State Exam after college

Receiving secondary vocational education on the basis of 9 grades is carried out with the simultaneous receipt of secondary general education. While studying at college, students simultaneously master the school curriculum and after completing the school curriculum, they have the right to take the Unified State Exam. Not all colleges have accreditation for the educational program of secondary general education.

If the college is accredited, then the application to take the Unified State Exam must be submitted to the college itself. If the college or technical school does not have such accreditation, the application must be submitted together with graduates of previous years - to application points determined by regional authorities.

To be admitted to the Unified State Exam, you must obtain and submit a certificate from the college confirming the completion of educational programs of secondary general education or the completion of educational programs of secondary general education in the current year.

It is worth keeping in mind that students have different options for passing the Unified State Exam and entering a university:

• they can take the Unified State Exam after completing their school curriculum (while continuing to study in college),
• they can also take the Unified State Exam after graduating from college and receiving a diploma of primary or secondary vocational education (together with other graduates of previous years),
• After graduating from some colleges, you can enter a university without the Unified State Exam. We are talking about colleges at universities and colleges that have appropriate agreements with universities. As a rule, the possibility of admission without the Unified State Exam is determined by the university itself and this decision is reviewed annually, as is the list of colleges and other conditions for admission.

Foreign citizens

Graduates of foreign educational organizations must present original educational documents. The education document must be recognized in the Russian Federation as equivalent to secondary general education. More about .

Students of foreign educational organizations must submit a certificate confirming completion of educational programs of secondary general education in the current year.

Original documents drawn up in a foreign language are presented with a duly certified translation into Russian.

What to do if the application deadline is missed?

Everything is decided by the State Examination Committee, but only if there are good reasons.

After February 1, an application for participation in the Unified State Examination of students, graduates of previous years, persons studying in educational programs of secondary vocational education, as well as students receiving secondary general education in foreign educational organizations, is accepted by decision of the State Examination Committee only if the applicant has valid reasons (illness or other documented circumstances) no later than two weeks before the start of the exams.

Applications for early passing of the Unified State Exam in 2017 were accepted until February 1 (inclusive), and schoolchildren and graduates of previous years passed the first exam on March 23. This is two months earlier than the main stage. In order not to be late next year, the site talks about the deadlines, required documents and ways to obtain USE results.

Why before others?

Most often, graduates of previous years take the Unified State Exam early. They need an exam to enter a university. Currently, all Russian higher education institutions, when enrolling, are asked to provide Unified State Examination results, which are considered valid for four years following the year of passing the exam. In order to become one of those lucky ones who take exams earlier than others and enjoy the results a couple of months earlier, it is enough not to miss the application deadlines and collect all the necessary documents. But first things first.

I want to be one of the first! Can?

In order for everyone to take the exam, it was divided into three stages: early, main and additional.

Early delivery is designed mainly for graduates of previous years - those who want to improve their Unified State Exam results or those who graduated from school before the introduction of the Unified State Exam. This year's graduates can also take the exams ahead of schedule, but to do this, the school's pedagogical council must grant permission. You can get it if you have no academic debt and complete completion of the curriculum.

During the additional examination period from September 5 to 16, graduates who failed to score the minimum required points, that is, cross the threshold, in May - June can take the Unified State Exam in mathematics (basic level) or Russian language.

The main requirement that must not be forgotten is that the exam is taken once a year. The exception is current year graduates who have not passed the Unified State Exam in Russian language and mathematics (basic level). If you do not achieve the minimum scores in one of these subjects, you can retake it in an additional period. In the remaining subjects, if you fail, you will be able to try your hand only next year.

The main thing is not to forget your passport

To pass early, schoolchildren submit an application to participate in the Unified State Exam to their school. Graduates of previous years must submit an application to participate in the Unified State Exam at the offices of the Moscow Regional Information Processing Center (RTSC). Documents you will need are a passport and an original education document.

The application must list the subjects in which you plan to take exams. For current year graduates, exams in Russian language and mathematics (at any of the two levels) are mandatory, the rest can be chosen independently (most often depending on the profile of the university).

A passport will be needed not only when submitting an application, but also for admission to the exam itself - the data will be checked against the list of participants, which is printed from the regional information system.

Regardless of when you take the exam, the application deadline is the same. This year, early Unified State Exams began on March 23 and will end on April 14. Applications had to be submitted before February 1, 2017 inclusive. After this date, only applications from those with valid reasons, such as illness, were considered. Applications close two weeks before the start of exams.

The Unified State Exam is available to everyone

For having extra items on the table you can be kicked out of the PPE

Find out your results

Each region independently sets the deadlines and methods for notifying the results of the Unified State Examination. However, the time frame for checking and processing the results should not be longer than the schedule approved by Rosobrnadzor. For example: checking and processing of Unified State Examination results in mathematics and Russian language must be completed no later than six days after passing. For other subjects - in four days.

You can find out your results from local education authorities (on the website or a special stand) or at the points where you registered. You can also use a special service where you need to enter your registration number (indicated on the coupon, which you need to save) or passport number.

The certificate is not issued in person. All results are entered into an electronic database. Their validity period is 4 years (the year of delivery does not count). If you do not agree with the points awarded, then within two working days from the date of official publication of the results you have the right to file a written appeal at the place of registration of the Unified State Examination. You will only be able to retake the exams next year.
