To pass the final exams at school. It will need to be passed for admission to universities in the following areas: chemistry and chemical technology, medicine, construction, biotechnology and others. Against the general background, the exam is not very popular - only one student out of ten graduates chooses chemistry.
Read the general information about the exam and start preparing. The KIM USE 2019 version has some differences from last year: 1) a task of a high level of complexity with a detailed answer was added to part 2, 2) the level of complexity and the maximum primary score were revised for four questions (the maximum score did not change throughout the test), 3) for for a clearer distribution of tasks by thematic blocks, the developers slightly changed their order in Part 1.
Last year, in order to pass the exam in chemistry at least for the top three, it was enough to score 37 primary points. They were given, for example, for the correctly completed first 15 tasks of the test.
How it will be in 2019 is still not known for sure: you need to wait for an official order from Rosobrnadzor on the correspondence of primary and test scores. Most likely it will appear in December. Considering that the maximum primary score for the entire test has remained the same, the minimum score will most likely not change either. Let's take a look at these tables:
In 2019, the test consists of two parts, including 35 tasks.

How many points are given for each USE task in chemistry. Criteria for assessing the Unified State Examination in Chemistry 2020: scores and grades, a translation table, as well as the structure of the exam, the testing methodology and the main changes in the new year. In 2020, assignments for the USE in chemistry began to contain more mathematical elements, calculations of physical quantities, and the verification of the main theoretical course in chemistry became deeper. At the same time, the number of tasks has decreased, now instead of 40 questions, the student will have to solve 35 (34 according to other sources). Accordingly, the assessment scale has changed, for the Unified State Examination in Chemistry 2020, the primary score has become lower - by 4 units.
All tasks are evaluated differently, for difficult tasks you can earn up to 5 points. Therefore, for admission to specialized universities, it is necessary to study the subject as deeply as possible.
Table of criteria for evaluating USE 2020 assignments in chemistry, taking into account the new requirements:
Job number | Maximum score |
35 | 3 |
Tasks are evaluated according to the established methodology, while for complex tasks where logic is required, points are set using special analytical tables. If the answer meets the requirements of the analysis as closely as possible, you can get up to 5 points for it. If the student has developed the topic only partially, then the number of points is reduced. For a failed task, 0 points are awarded.
Complex tasks are checked by two experts. If there is a strong discrepancy in points, then a third specialist is involved. This ensures the most effective and objective assessment of graduates' knowledge.

The structure of the USE tasks in chemistry in 2020 includes 29 questions with a short answer, as well as 5 with a detailed one.
The duration of the exam is 210 minutes, according to the standard, it should take about 3 minutes for simple questions, up to 15 for complex ones. As for the minimum score for passing to specialized universities, each higher educational institution sets its own requirements. For example, to enter the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University, or the prestigious Moscow Medical University, you must score at least 50 points.
But usually the total passing score for prestigious universities is 400-470 (at least less for the Faculty of Chemistry, more for the Medical Faculty), and admission to the same Moscow State University does not depend on chemistry alone, so if there are not enough points, you can get in mathematics, biology, Russian and internal entrance exams.
Significant changes in the USE are also observed in other subjects.
For the successful delivery of chemistry, it is recommended to devote most of the time to solving problems and the equation. During the delivery, you can use a calculator, the periodic table and the solubility of salts. The electrochemical voltage series of metals is also allowed.
The criteria for assessing the USE in Chemistry 2020 are described quite clearly in the regulations, but each graduate has the right to file an appeal.
Graduates of the 9th grade have their own assessment criteria. According to all KIM and GIA, the maximum possible score is 34 points. But if a graduate wants to go to a medical college, a specialized class, or some other secondary specialized education related to chemistry, pharmaceuticals and medicine, he needs to score 23 points or more.

Despite the apparent simplicity, it is not so easy to score 9 points for the minimum passing grade. You need to be able to solve problems, navigate the formulas, at least have a minimal knowledge of theory. Those who passed for a deuce will remain for the second year if they fail the retake.

Many schoolchildren, in order to be safe, begin to solve immediately with difficult tasks. If you solve them all without errors, you can immediately score 19 points, that is, for the "four". However, this implies a complete solution to the task, otherwise it will be rated at 1 point, or not at all.
The criteria for grading chemistry tests change every year, the rules become stricter, because there is an idea among the government about insufficient quality education. This, of course, has no basis, because schoolchildren study worse not because of the program, but mostly because of overload.
Why is this happening? Because no one checks this calculation later. Based on this, it is better to resolve the issue in advance with a chemistry teacher and a class teacher, usually in normal schools teachers try to meet the needs of graduates. If a child has a 4, but he pushed himself and passed the exam for 5, why not help him?
But! It must be remembered that no one needs grades in the certificate upon admission, and especially in chemistry. Today, in 99% of cases, they look only at the USE certificate. Tags:
Each graduate who wants to become a student of one of the universities of the Russian Federation in 2018 faces a difficult task - to successfully pass the exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. The majority of 11th graders and their parents are faced with the final exam grading system for the first time and often find it difficult to find answers to the questions that arise. Therefore, we decided to shed light on important points.
In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the exam will not be significantly changed. This means that the 100-point system for grading final tests will still be relevant for graduates.
In the course of checking the examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate receives the so-called “primary points”, which, upon completion of the work check, are summed up and converted into a “test score”, which is indicated in the USE certificate.
Important! Since 2009, the scale for converting primary and test USE scores into traditional five-point grades for schools has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 final exams are not included in the certificate.
Checking work is done in two ways:
It is quite difficult to challenge the result of an automatic check. If the basic rules were not followed when filling out the answer table, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself, who did not follow a number of mandatory rules, will be to blame for this.
If controversial issues arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.
The following time limits apply by law:
In practice, from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result, it can take from 8 to 14 days.
Despite the fact that officially in 2018 the scale for converting points in USE subjects into a five-point grade is not used, many still want to interpret their result in a more familiar "school" system. To do this, you can use special tables or online calculators.

The second method is a little easier and more convenient than searching for the desired values in the cells of a huge table. Simply select a subject (mathematics, Russian, chemistry, physics, history, English, social studies ... and other subjects), enter the data and get the desired result in a matter of seconds.
We suggest trying how simple and convenient it is to use in practice the online calculators of the USE score and its conversion to a 5-point grade.
Transfer of points from primary to test
Converting USE scores to grades
The academic year 2017-2018 is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for transferring primary scores showed that the USE result is in a fairly good range ... But, is this enough to enter the desired university?
Assess the real chances of entry, based on test scores and the minimum passing threshold set by the university.
Important! The minimum passing score is formed by the university itself. It will directly depend on the scores of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score will be.
Often, at the TOP faculties, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget. Only winners of the Olympiads, who give significant additional points, have a chance to see their last name in the lists of applicants for such areas.
In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the entrance score threshold for various specialties will be:
Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.
First, you should know that you must file an appeal within 2 days of the official announcement of the results. Due to the fact that the date of the official announcement of the results is never known in advance (only approximate dates are written on the official sites), you should carefully monitor when the results in chemistry appear in your personal account. Secondly, keep in mind that Saturday can also be considered a working day, so it is important not to miss the deadline for filing an appeal.
Graduates of the 11th grade file an appeal at the flagship school. This "crusade" must begin from your own school. It is at your school that you must report that you intend to protest the points received for the Unified State Examination in Chemistry. They must tell you where and how to do it. It is imperative to download all exam materials in your personal account and show them to the teacher before the appeal in order to understand how to behave during a dialogue with members of the Conflict Commission.
Step 1. Download all USE materials in chemistry from your personal account.
Step 2 Carefully compare the answer sheet to the test questions, which was filled in with your hand, with the so-called "read sheet". What should be checked here? You need to make sure that your answers are correctly interpreted by the computer everywhere, that is, all letters and numbers must match. Sometimes there are "computer" errors that deprive graduates of legitimate points, so such a technical overlay must be challenged on appeal.
Step 3 Carefully review Part II with an experienced teacher and compare the work with the scores received for this part of the work. The problem is that not a single USE participant sees either the tasks themselves or the correct answers to them. Part II in your personal account can be downloaded only in an unverified version. Where the experts found mistakes in you, for which they lowered the points - one can only guess. That is why it is very difficult to deal with this without an experienced mentor. By the way, at the appeal, you may also have points reduced if an unnoticed mistake is found. It is at this stage (after careful verification and analysis) that a detailed line of conduct on appeal to the Conflict Commission can be worked out. We even advise you to write down a plan of your claims with all the arguments in your favor.
Step 4 Be sure to go to the appeal with the teacher or tutor. If you manage to negotiate with your school teacher, then it will be wonderful. If it does not work out, then you can always resort to the paid help of professionals. If you have been studying with a tutor, it is better to take him with you too.
we are ready to provide support to everyone for appealing USE scores in many cities of Russia, since we have the largest network of branches in the country. To do this, you need to go to the main site, find your locality in the top location search bar and contact our employees by phone numbers listed on regional sites.
Attention! To accompany the USE participant to the appeal, it is necessary to issue a notarized power of attorney for the teacher.
2 days to prepare for the appeal is, of course, a very short time, but it will be enough if you are helped by a qualified and experienced teacher. Think for yourself how much money, effort and time was spent preparing for the exam, paying for one trip with you to appeal a teacher or tutor will seem like a drop in the ocean, because there are several primary exam scores at stake, which in terms of test scores can be quite impressive result. There is no need to remind that in the competition for budget places, each score is literally "worth its weight in gold."
In 2018, about 200 different programs were opened for graduates who successfully passed the Unified State Examination in Chemistry at more than 100 universities in the country. To select a university and faculty, we recommend using the USE calculators. Read about it in our material.
