According to the law, a graduate of previous years can apply for testing in any region of Russia - regardless of where he is registered and where he completed his education. However, if you are in the same city where you are registered at your place of residence, you will most likely have to submit an application in accordance with your registration, even if you live or work on the other side of the city. However, options are possible: the exact regulations for the operation of registration points for graduates of previous years are established by regional educational authorities and in different regions Russia may vary slightly. That's why, if you plan to take exams outside your place of residence, it is best to call the hotline at Unified State Exam questions in your region and find out where you are eligible to submit documents.
Phones « hotline» can be found at official portal ege.edu.ru in the “information support” section. There you will also find links to regional websites dedicated to passing the Unified State Exam. It is on them that the “verified” official information about the addresses of points where you can apply to take the Unified State Exam - with contact numbers and opening hours. As a rule, applications are accepted on weekdays, two to three days a week at specially designated hours.
What documents are required to register for the Unified State Exam?
To submit an application you will need to present the following set of documents:
- document on complete secondary education (original);
- passport;
- if in the interval between finishing school and passing the exams you changed your last name or first name - a document confirming this fact (marriage certificate or change of first or last name),
- if secondary education was obtained in a foreign educational institution - a notarized translation of the certificate into Russian.
There is no need to make copies of documents: after the registration office employees enter the automated system all your data and originals will be returned to you.
What you need to know when applying for the Unified State Exam
By the time of your visit to the registration point for graduates of previous years, you must finally decide on a list of items that you plan to take - changing the “set” will be very difficult. While Russian language and mathematics are compulsory for school graduates, this rule does not apply to people who have already completed secondary education: you can only take those subjects that are required for admission to a university.
Decide will you write an essay. For eleventh-graders, obtaining a “credit” in an essay is an indispensable condition for admission to the exams, but graduates of previous years who take the Unified State Exam “according to at will”, are not required to do this - they receive “admission” automatically, based on the fact of having a certificate. Therefore, it is better to clarify the question about the essay in admissions committee the university you have chosen: is its presence mandatory, can it bring you additional points upon admission. If the answer to both questions is “no,” you can safely not include the essay in the list.
If you are planning to take the Unified State Exam foreign language – decide whether you will limit yourself to only the written part (which can bring up to 80 points), or whether you will also take the “speaking” part (an additional 20 points). The oral part of the exam is held on a different day, and if you are not faced with the task of gaining maximum points, you do not have to participate in it.
Select deadlines in which you want to take exams. Graduates of previous years have the opportunity to take exams either on the main dates (in May-June, simultaneously with schoolchildren) or in an early “wave” (March). Choose what is most convenient for you.
How to register for the Unified State Exam for graduates of previous years
The application process is quite simple, but you should not arrive at the registration point 10 minutes before the deadline, especially if you are submitting documents to last weeks before the deadline: it is possible that you will have to wait in line for a while.
Documents are submitted in person. To register for exams:
- you will have to fill out a consent to process personal data and enter it into the AIS (automatic identification system);
- registration point employees will check your documents and enter your personal and passport data, as well as passport data into the system;
- you will inform which subjects you plan to take and when, after which an application for taking the exam will be automatically generated indicating the subjects you have chosen and the dates of the exams;
- you will check the printed application and, making sure that all the data is correct, sign;
- employees at the registration point will give you a copy of the application with a note about acceptance of documents, a memo for the Unified State Exam participant and will instruct you how and when you will need to appear to receive a pass for the exam.
How much does it cost to take the Unified State Exam for past graduates?
The Unified State Exam is held for all categories of participants, including graduates of previous years, regardless of how many subjects you decide to take. Therefore, the procedure for accepting documents does not imply the presentation of receipts or payment for registration services.
At the same time, in most regions, graduates of previous years can take part in “trial”, training exams, which take place in conditions as close as possible to reality, are assessed according to Unified State Exam standards and allow participants to gain additional preparation experience. This is a paid additional service offered by educational authorities - and you can use it if you wish. However, participation in such “rehearsals” is completely voluntary.
2018-2019 has just begun academic year, which means that for eleventh-graders it’s time to find out how the most “terrible” test of their entire lives will be held - the Unified State Exam. Let us remind you how the Unified State Examination will take place in 2019, what subjects are mandatory, how long they are valid Unified State Exam results, how to retake the Unified State Exam with a bad grade 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 last years there are constantly rumors about expanding the list of required subjects for passing the Unified State Exam, so it would be useful to remind you which subjects are required in 2019 and which are not.
In fact, compared to many previous years There will be no changes in 2019, and there are two compulsory 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. It will be enough for some graduates basic knowledge according to the secondary school curriculum, and subsequently in their studies 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 evaluated 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 early 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.
