On June 22, the results of the Unified State Exam 2017 in the Russian language according to passport data became known on the official website of the Unified State Exam.

An exciting time has come for graduates of the 11th grade - they are getting acquainted with the results of the USE 2017 in the main compulsory subject, which is the Russian language. It is known that schoolchildren, for whom school will soon be a thing of the past, took this exam on June 9th. It should be noted that about 628 thousand people applied for participation in it in the main period, and 5.4 thousand examination points were used to pass the exam both in the Russian Federation and abroad.

This year, Rosbrnadzor announced the results of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language 5 days earlier, that is, on June 22, as the head of the department, Sergey Kravtsov, announced on the eve of Monday at a press conference. Prior to this, it was planned that the results of the exam would be known on the 27th.

“There has never been such a thing in history,” Sergey Kravtsov noted.
In accordance with the data of the regions, the exam was held as usual. There were no leaks of control measuring materials to the Internet, the head of Rosobrnadzor said.

Rosobrnadzor reported that in 2017, 0.5% of USE participants in the Russian language did not overcome the minimum threshold for obtaining a certificate of 24 points.

“The Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science has summed up the preliminary results of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, which was held on the main exam date on June 9th. Almost 617,000 people took the exam. The minimum threshold for obtaining a certificate of 24 points was not overcome by 0.5% of the exam participants (in 2016, their number was 1%),” the agency said in a statement.

The press service also noted that the average score on the Unified State Examination in the Russian language this year is comparable to last year's result.

“This year, the trend of improving results in compulsory subjects continues. The share of graduates who were left without certificates has decreased by almost one and a half times, and this is without taking into account the results of the upcoming retakes. These results testify to the success of the project “I will pass the USE” and are the result of serious targeted work that was carried out with lagging schoolchildren in regions and municipalities where the results USE past years have revealed serious problems with the level of school education, ”said Sergey Kravtsov, head of Rosobrnadzor.

The fastest way to find out the results of the exam in 2017 is on the Internet. The exam results are posted on the official website of the Unified State Exam, which is located at ege.edu.ru. In order to find out the results of exams in the Russian language and other subjects, you need to enter the passport data of the graduate, the registration code for the exam, indicate the region and agree to the processing of the entered data.

You can apply for admission to 5 universities, each of which has no more than 3 faculties.
It is known that the completed main period of the USE 2017 continues to reserve days for passing all USE subjects, which will be held from June 20 to July 1. Graduates who graduated from schools last year and students who received an unsatisfactory result in one of the compulsory subjects will be able to pass the exams within this period.

Rosobrnadzor summed up the results of the main and additional stages of the USE in 2017. In general, the statistics show that this year's graduates coped with the exams more successfully than last year. About 620 thousand people took part in the exam.

The number of doubles has been halved. So, for example, it happened at the exam in history. In other subjects, the figures vary, but there are indeed fewer unsatisfactory works: in biology - by 0.3%, in chemistry - by 1.1%, in literature - by 1.5%, in physics - by 2%, in social science - by 4%, in foreign languages ​​- by 25%.

The number of participants who scored from 80 to 100 points on the USE in 2017 increased by 2%.

Rosobrnadzor does not lose sight of talented graduates who managed to score the highest score in three subjects at once. This year there were six such guys: two from Yekaterinburg and one each from St. Petersburg, Penza, Perm and Kurgan. In 2016, there were only three three hundred points: from Olenegorsk (Murmansk region), Kemerovo and Kirov.

The number of fraud-related violations has decreased by a quarter compared to the previous year. However, "gets" not only graduates, but also teachers. So, in Ingushetia, a school principal was fired for trying to help students in the Unified State Examination. In all regions, teachers are fired pointwise for accidentally ringing the phone during the exam, as well as for the fact that they "overlooked" the students who brought their phone to the exam. Such cases of demonstrative reprisals (even against honored teachers with twenty years of experience) sometimes cause bewilderment.

But as for the scandals, this year they did not occur at the time of passing the exam, but on appeal. All over the country, USE participants complain about gross non-compliance with the rules of appeal.

In some regions, the conflict commission made a decision to change the points even before the start of the procedure itself, and notified the graduates after the fact (without the right to appeal, since all the points had already been entered into the final document; naturally, there was no mention of the graduate's signature next to the final grade and speech did not work). In other cases, the organizers prevented both the filing of an appeal and the personal presence of the USE participant at the meeting (for example, by "forgetting" to name the date or deliberately preventing them from signing the documents necessary for attendance). Graduates also complained that their arguments were not taken into account, and the written justification for the appeal was refused to be filed with the case. The experts did their best to keep the original score, referring to non-existent evaluation criteria and finding fault with trifles that do not affect the scoring at all. All this caused a wave of indignation among the graduates and their families. Appeals to the USE hotline also did not bring results, because at the opposite end, upset parents were told that "the procedure for holding a meeting of the conflict commission will not be disputed."

The flagrant injustice towards the appellants, as well as the negligence in the initial verification of papers - this is what we will remember about the 2017 USE.

The Unified State Exam in Russian is a mandatory exam. Total mostly USE period in Russian in 2017, 616,590 people took part (in 2016 - 658,392 people; in 2015 - 672,407 people).

The results of the USE in the Russian language in 2017 are generally comparable with the results of the USE in previous years.

On the official website of FIPI in the section "Analytical and teaching materials"published" Guidelines for teachers, prepared on the basis of an analysis of typical mistakes of USE participants in 2017", it is here that you can find information about what was the average USE score in the Russian language in 2017.

The main reasons for the decrease in the share of such participants in the Russian language include the successful implementation of the system of measures of Rosobrnadzor to improve the quality of teaching the Russian language in the subjects Russian Federation. Data on the change in the number and share of 100-point students in 2015–2017 are given in table. 2.

Statistics on the performance of the work as a whole and of individual tasks makes it possible to identify the main problems in the preparation of examinees in the Russian language. As in previous years, the sections of the course related to the formation of communicative competence remain insufficiently learned. Insufficiently developed skills of analytical work with the word and text, the lack of sufficient practice in the analysis of linguistic phenomena also affect the quality of writing an essay-reasoning. Graduates experience the greatest difficulties when applying punctuation and spelling norms in written speech.
