Very soon, 2018 graduates will start their first exams: computer science, ICT and geography. We want to help 11th grade students, so we conducted a survey among those who at one time successfully passed the Unified State Examination with 100 points and have already become students who entered key universities in Russia on a budget. Everyone participating in the survey talked about how they managed to achieve such success and, most importantly, whether there is still a chance to cheat on the exam.
Dmitry Kiselev (on the exam: mathematics and physics - 100 points each)
“I passed all the exams myself, without involving tutors to prepare or use cheat sheets. The fact is that the exam, in mathematics or physics, is not initially difficult, since they present tasks in which you just need to familiarize yourself with the condition, not make mistakes in the formula, and carefully arrange the work. And, for example, in Russian, I couldn’t get 100 points. All because of the loss of several primary points in part C, which refers to "the logic and coherence of the text." In this case, much depends on the inspector.
Are you interested in whether it is still possible to write off the exam? To be honest, I have not tried it myself, but some say that it is not difficult to do this. I don't know how true this is, but there's probably some chance. I am now moonlighting as a tutor, preparing schoolchildren for the Unified State Examination, and so one of my students decided that 60 points was enough for her in these subjects and stopped preparing, planning to write off. In principle, there are plenty of ways to outwit the system.
Once, acquaintances told a story: one dad, a well-known businessman, one might say the authority of the district, came to the principal of his daughter’s school before the exams, and left a tidy sum there with the words: “My daughter will write something, and add the rest of the correct answers yourself.” “. Everything went well for the school. The girl wrote that she knew, but they could not add anything to her. The money was returned to the father without any consequences and the implementation of threats on his part.
On English language- its subtleties. Our teachers, who watch the handover, say that the sound quality of the dictated text is disgusting, either because of the microphones, or because of something else. Therefore, the task can get so poorly written down that some words, or even a good half, are simply impossible to make out. It’s good that I didn’t need this subject for admission, so I, breathing a sigh of relief, did not take it.
A few years ago there was an unpleasant situation - everyone was completely filled up on one task. For what? Yes, just to reduce the total number of 100 points in the country. Of course, no one could prove anything to anyone.”
Daria Titova (USE in Literature: 100 points)
“There were only six months left before the exams, and I suddenly decided to take literature. One of the reasons, to be honest, was the fact that no one else in our school was going to take it. Of course, I wanted exclusivity, but apparently, the main reason, nevertheless, was a strong desire to devote myself to journalism. I must say, this surprised my medical family very much.
Having given vent to an irresistible desire to conquer literature as much as possible, I began to cram primary sources and re-read the mountain of criticism.
I was lucky that I found a tutor in time. She taught at the university and once herself was directly involved in the creation of tests in literature. It was then that my real preparation began, because she was able to direct me in the right direction, knowing the main pitfalls: how assessment works, what must be written in an essay, and what is not worth it. She helped to systematize all my knowledge on the subject, and get rid of unnecessary and distracting things. Only plans remained, according to which it is necessary to analyze the work and the final answers - without unnecessary elements. But luck was on my side: the ticket contained works that I knew very well.
I didn’t want to write off and didn’t want to try - it’s very distracting, besides, literature was my first exam, I had enough stress from all the severity of the situation.
Returning to the passing process, I think that passing absolutely all subjects with the highest scores is simply unrealistic. The system itself is designed to test not only knowledge, it most likely needs some kind of mechanical approach. Ideally, you need to at least a little decide in which direction to study further, then choose suitable subjects for delivery and purposefully prepare for them. In general, even 5–6 ideal 100-point results do not guarantee happy life further".
Alexey Kubarev (USE in mathematics: 100 points)
“I think that I got such a result thanks to personal abilities, and a little more genes. My parents graduated from the Mechanics and Mathematics Department of Moscow State University and I never had problems with mathematics, even while studying at one of the best Moscow physics and mathematics schools. Preparation for the exam I had only at school. The teacher who gave the tasks of the previous year to take home was very helpful, and the test exams also brought excellent experience.
It's simple - came and wrote - no tutors. The difficulty of the assignments did not worry me much, I was only nervous because of the limited time, since I write slowly. Therefore, at the exam itself, first of all, I quickly evaluated the way to solve the problem and wrote it right away in a clean copy. I didn’t waste time on a draft, at most I did some calculations there.
Of course, I understand that no ability guarantees a 100-point result, but getting above 90 is a very real possibility. In my case, at least a little luck with two tasks from part C was important to me, the rest did not bother me.
For those who are just about to pass, I would advise: first of all, try to cope with the excitement not only at the exam itself, but also before it. It was easier for me in this regard - I have many years of stage experience. The night before the exam is especially important - you need to get a good night's sleep, and not catch up.
I’ll say this about cheating: I haven’t personally encountered this, but among my friends from other schools I heard that it’s quite possible to do this. As an option, they said that you can carry cheat sheets, fixing them to your clothes with small pins, the size of which deceives the metal detector and it does not react to them.
The cheating option is completely unsuitable for those who want 100 points: in this case, there is no time for these covert operations, here the tasks need to be solved, and not stirred up with cheat sheets.
I believe that it is quite realistic to get 100 points in all the exams, but it is quite difficult. The main factors are primarily:
- Good luck - without it in this business in any way. It's one thing when you're lucky on one subject, but when, for example, on three, it's already more noticeable.
- The human factor - if your work with the inspector is already one of the last, he is tired enough, and you, moreover, may have bad handwriting. As a result, a negative impression is created, and the chance of getting 100 is drastically reduced. In physics or mathematics, this factor does not affect as much as in literature or Russian - here you can easily lose points at some point. And then you can’t prove that you wrote this paragraph on maximum score.
The most important thing is to try to worry, have a good rest at night, and most importantly, do not drive yourself crazy after you write, for possible mistakes or something done.
Ekaterina Kartseva (USE in history: 100 points)
“Before I decided to take the story, I didn’t do it at all, and I didn’t really know. Therefore, I prepared for it, it can be considered, in a year, but at the same time I had to actually sacrifice the rest of the classes in the 11th grade. Since I was in good standing at school, they went to meet me. Several days a week from eleven to eight in the evening, I practically lived with a tutor. Seeing my unprecedented zeal, surprisingly, even little money was taken from me. It is clear that I dropped out of social life for this year, as I practically did not leave the house.
It is quite possible to master the preparation for the exam in a short time, you just have to prioritize and sacrifice not only time, but also other items that are not essential for admission, and also forget about hanging out with friends. Systematic training is also very important.
My preparation looked like this:
- daily outlined the textbook from MGIMO;
- studied the received abstract;
- solved at least 10 tests;
- I watched thematic publics in VK and with their help sorted out all possible errors. To do this, I started a separate notebook, which I re-read before going to bed;
- also in the evenings she asked her mother to check her knowledge of dates, on average at least 25 dates.
Already closer to the exam itself, I finished with textbooks and devoted time to solving a collection of tasks from part C. It is clear that all this took me almost the whole day.
I believe that it is possible to score 100 points in several subjects at once, but for this it is necessary not to postpone until the last minute, but to regularly fulfill the educational standard. Then in the 11th grade, all that remains is to practice on the tests, and luck is also important. But these conditions are practically impossible to fulfill in practice, since not only all teachers must be strong subjects, but the student himself must have stable motivation throughout high school.
I had to sacrifice math for the key subjects that are important for admission, so I scored only 49 points there. But in Russian, many can easily get the highest score - this is an easy subject. At our school, it was easy to write off: people carried phones and I also had cheat sheets with me.
Anna Landau (USE in Russian: 100 points)
“I started studying with a tutor immediately after the 9th grade, but I think I was lucky on the exam itself. I came across an intelligible text with a clear problem, to which I easily picked up arguments. I think that passing the exam in Russian for 100 points is real, you only need:
- memorize a clear set of rules;
- practice problem solving;
- pre-select a certain number of justifications on different topics;
- write at least a few dozen essays to practice.
I believe that it is impossible to write off, because there is a fairly strict supervision and control at the entrance.
In general, in order to pass the exam with 100 points, you need mostly luck, not knowledge. It’s just that I personally know cases when those who wrote samples for 60 got more than 90 on the exam, but it also happened the other way around. So without luck and a suitable option - nowhere.
Natalya Kirasheva (USE in Russian language and geography: 100 points)
“I don’t even know how it happened that I passed the USE in two subjects: Russian and geography, with 100 points. Honestly, I didn't even expect it. Of course, I, like everyone else, aspired to a high result, but did not set myself such a goal. I had enough of the usual schoolwork and self-study- no tutors. Even free time remained - for dancing and friends. And my results are the merit of our wonderful teachers. They never scared us of the exam, they didn’t say that our whole life depends on its results, they just calmly taught lessons, giving the necessary knowledge.
I don’t remember being very worried, but about whether there was an opportunity to write off, I’ll say: if you wish, you can always, but is it worth it to worry and be afraid that you will be caught? Wouldn't it be better to calmly prepare and be confident in your knowledge.
To be honest, I had cheat sheets for almost all exams, but I didn’t even think of using them, it’s more for psychological confidence.
You can also pass the exam in Russian or mathematics with 100 points, but there are no such people among my friends.
Olga Zinchenko (USE in Russian language and social studies: 100 points)
“I studied with tutors in each of the subjects chosen for the Unified State Examination once a week, but in social studies and history I attended additional group classes. training courses in the Siberian federal university and HSE. And although my gymnasium also has quite strong teachers, I wanted the training to be multifaceted. Despite additional training in history, I still decided not to take it, as I became a winner All-Russian Olympiad in English, and this was enough for the universities in which I planned to enter. Although, according to the teacher, I would have easily passed the story to the highest score, but why should I need extra excitement.
The recipe for my success? I was able to achieve this result only through hard work. Every week I took 3-4 tests (for each of my subjects, with obligatory attention to part C), and for history I used audio books that I turned on while I went to courses or to tutors. I think that without tutors who know the subtleties USE assessment quite difficult to prepare. Even if you are absolutely literate, but did not write an essay according to a certain template, you can get points lower than expected.
I didn’t cheat on the exam in principle, but I personally saw how many people used phones. They took photos of assignments and sent them to tutors or someone else, and they, in turn, sent them answers. Now, probably, they have also provided for such an option and put telephone jammers. Although who knows? They scared us too."
At present USE time in literature was not included in the list of mandatory tests at the end of school. However, the results of this state exam are necessary in order to enter various specialties of Russian higher educational institutions. It can be philology or journalism, television, as well as vocal and acting art. Our article will tell you in detail what you need to know in order to pass literature (USE).
Exam features
In 2017, there were active rumors that the structure of the graduation test in literature would be significantly transformed. But in September of the same year, it became known that this testing had undergone a minimum number of changes. Nevertheless, in one of her interviews, Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva said that another, more promising model of the state exam, which was developed by leading specialists of the institute, will come into force next year. pedagogical measurements. Thus, from KIMs were excluded test tasks. Now for literature? Let's figure it out together.
Why were tests removed?
In the opinion of the developers, tasks with a choice of answers for students do not present any difficulty. They are just an extra element for evaluation. In such tasks, there is a huge share of the probability of guessing the correct answer, and the experts of the Institute of Pedagogical Measurements fundamentally disagree with this.
In addition, it became known that in the literature exam, graduates will no longer see questions and tasks of an open nature, where they must answer in the form of a single word or a sequence of numbers. Thus, graduates lose the opportunity to score points for knowledge of literary terms. Therefore, C students will not be able to get off with “little bloodshed” by passing one part of the exam. In 2018, graduates are expected to demonstrate their ability to beautifully and clearly express their own thoughts.
Test requirements. Compositions
It is known that at the exam in literature it is necessary to write several essays. Developers of control and measuring materials have increased the minimum volume of the "main" essay. In previous years, this volume was at least 200 words, but already in 2018, a graduate will be required to write a text 50 words more than in previous years.
The specialists of the institute specified the requirements for mini-essays for the next year. They must be at least 50 words. Since 2018, such a requirement applies not only to the question of text analysis, but also to comparative tasks. Future graduates have a natural question: “What do you need to pass the literature (USE)?” Therefore, we are smoothly moving on to the recommendations.
How to pass the exam in literature?
In order to get the maximum on testing, firstly, you need to read all the literature that is required to pass the exam. Keep in mind that reading will take you a lot of time and effort. And what literature you need to read in order to pass the exam, we will tell a little later.
Secondly, there are a huge number of manuals on sale in bookstores that guarantee passing the exam without much knowledge or effort. You can buy all these compilations, but in fact, you should not expect real success. However, if you solve the problems in these books, then it will be much easier for you to answer questions on the exam.
Thirdly, there is an opinion that an interested and competent teacher is able to teach his ward everything necessary in order to pass the exam. Asking in advance how to pass the exam in literature, students hire tutors.
Fourthly, among schoolchildren and students there are a huge number of rituals and signs that allegedly help to pass exams. In fact, these rituals have nothing to do with the real world. But by doing them, perhaps you will feel more confident in the exam.
Alumni experience
We present to your attention the experience of students of the Faculty of Philology, who give recommendations and explain how to pass the exam in literature. As a rule, on September 1, eleventh graders go to book Shop and buy a huge number of collections on the subject. Current students are advised to buy collections of past years, since the structure of control and measuring materials does not actually change, and their price is much less. Many perform tasks with such frequency as some solve crossword puzzles. There are schoolchildren who do not have the theoretical base necessary for writing essays. But they make plans, where they write out abstracts. Over time, this becomes a habit that a person uses today, studying at the institute.
It should be noted that many universities often enroll for USE preparation courses in various subjects. Many recommend attending these classes. As a rule, you need to go to lectures once a week, which last about two hours. There is a lot of work before the exam: you need to constantly write and read in order to come to class already prepared. In addition, they often come to the rescue school teachers on literature. With graduates, teachers share theoretical materials, as well as the experience of specialists who check examination papers. Thus, many students pass the exam with a hundred points.
A few words about the list of fiction
As mentioned above, the list of literature to pass the exam in literature is rather big. It is pointless to publish this list, since it is in every collection for passing the exam. In any case, you need to know ancient Russian literature, as well as texts written in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Need to know and understand school works Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Fet, Nekrasov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Ostrovsky, Tyutchev, Chekhov, Bunin, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Gorky, Yesenin, Pasternak, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky, Blok, Sholokhov, Bulgakov, Tvardovsky, Solzhenitsyn and other writers , the texts of which are included in the list fiction studied in lessons from 5 to 11 grade.
conclusions
At the beginning of this article, there was a question about the difficulty of passing the exam. It is not easy to answer it, since the concept of complexity is relative. For some children it is difficult to write essays, for others it is difficult to analyze artistic text. In any case, the exam is a test for which you need to prepare in good faith in order to get the desired result.
Thanks to our article, now you know how to pass the exam in literature and what you need to do to get a good result. Remember that teachers who check essays expect graduates to have a conscious understanding of the problem and a clear vision of the author's position. Also, the person being certified must be oriented in genres and literary terms. We wish you success!
A year and a half ago, I decided that I would take the exam in literature. Six months ago, I finally realized that creating, parsing and analyzing texts is what I am really interested in, and most importantly, I am good at it. All this year I did not sit for benefits, did not go to tutors, did not delve into the intricacies of the historical and literary process. I just read books, wrote articles, notes, participated in various literary and journalistic competitions and olympiads. In a word, I did what was interesting to me and made it possible to express on paper my understanding of the world and everything that happens in it. Yes, I solved tests, reread works from the codifier, wrote essays, but I did all this not systematically, but on a whim.
Everything changed at the moment when I became the winner of the Literature Olympiad from the list of those that are taken into account for admission. I knew from the very beginning that the Unified State Examination in Literature is one of the most difficult exams. The most subjective. The most stingy on points. I bought a thick manual for preparing for the exam and at first I was afraid to even open it, because all my friends, who also handed over literature, were already in full swing with tutors and attended various courses. And I just always knew that I understood the subject and kept procrastinating with intensive preparation. It gave me motivation to get started. When you set clear goals for yourself, the path to them becomes clear. And I had one - to do literature every day for 4 months. No tutors prepared me for the exam.
I started solving tests of 15-20 options every day. Very soon I realized that I would not need half of the thick reference book I bought. This half dealt with literary-theoretical concepts and the literary-historical process. It turned out that the preparation for the Olympiads, participation in competitions made me savvy in these matters. This served as an excellent impetus for my further vigorous activity. I took writing seriously. I studied the assessment criteria and made it a rule to write three every day, continuing to solve dozens of tests. A couple of times a week I took my work to my literature teacher, we sorted it out, analyzed the mistakes. The main problem a month before the exam, the lyrics remained for me. For some reason, I always thought that I did not understand poetry and was not capable of understanding it. For analysis at the Olympiads, I always chose prose works. But as soon as I forced myself to sit down at a collection of poems by the first poet in the codifier, I realized that not everything was so bad. My understanding of the poems in most cases coincided with their analyzes in manuals. Gradually, by May 25, I repeated the work of all the poets whose works can be found on the exam.
I understood that I was objectively ready for any topic. I was not afraid that some unknown author or poem would come across to me. I was determined to analyze any text. However, I was not at all sure that I would receive high scores. The ultimate dream was still the cherished 74 points. All year I went to groups on VKontakte to prepare for the exam in literature, I saw the works of other guys, their ambitions and confidence in getting high scores. Against the background of all this, I felt like mediocrity, a strong middle peasant, and in the depths of my soul I hoped for my 74 points.
The first thing I said when I left the exam in literature was: “I have never written anything worse in my life.” It so happened that the last essay, the most "expensive" in terms of points, I wrote directly to the clean copy. I didn't have enough time and there was no other choice. For him, I dreamed of getting 10/14 points at best.
I was absolutely calm for nine days. On the tenth, June 3rd, I began to shake, I constantly updated the page where my result was supposed to appear, but it was not there. At night, one nightmare, where I get 69 points, replaced another, where I get 58. On May 4, I went to the Unified State Examination in mathematics, not getting enough sleep, twitchy and nervous. Before going to the PES, I refreshed the results page again, but the literature scores did not appear there. Needless to say, for 4 hours in mathematics, my head was not at all occupied with sines and cosines. After the exam, I went home, and then the bell rang ... “You have 100 points in literature,” I heard and did not believe, because this does not happen. It just couldn't be that I was one of 200 people who wrote excellently in the most subjective and stingy exam, but it was so.
I have updated the results page. In the graph test score – three-digit number. I updated this page regularly throughout the day. And today I will update before going to bed, because it is still difficult for me to get used to this thought. All my friends tell me that I deserve this result, they are happy for me. I am also happy, of course, but I know for sure that I could get 70, and 60, and 80 points. I could get any score. And I am terribly sad and insulting to read the stories of those who prepared for a year, two, three, but received not 100 points. There are many who, in my opinion, deserve it more than me.
On the one hand, the Unified State Examination is a lottery, on the other hand, those who are lucky are lucky. You can talk for a long time and a lot about the fact that the USE is not an indicator of knowledge. But the most important advice that I would give to those who plan to take literature in the future is to prepare, prepare and prepare again. Not for the sake of high scores, not for the sake of justifying someone's hopes, but for the sake of their dreams. Enjoy what you do, get high by creating original text and put your soul into every written word.
A high score on the exam in literature is the dream of many students who want to enter a prestigious university. IN last years this exam has become much more difficult, so the average scores for the literary exam among Russian schools remain very low. However, you should not despair. It is important to remember that the pledge successful delivery exam is a comprehensive preparation and persistent positive motivation.
What a student needs to know to pass the exam
The theoretical part is the main block of knowledge that is necessary for recruiting maximum number points. Literature knowledge includes:
- terminology, which contains a wide list of definitions of literary genres, styles and trends, varieties of literary works;
- biographical information about famous writers, poets and other authors.
Students need to know:
- historical periods during which writers were engaged in creative activity;
- basic facts from the life of the authors, the history of the creation of works;
- the content of literary works included in the USE codifier;
- basic theoretical concepts from the school course.
In addition to the main content of the works, it is necessary to remember the character traits of the main characters of the stories, to know the ideas and problems considered by the authors in their books. It is necessary to learn how to analyze works, to be able to identify controversial points in the works of writers. Reading critical articles is also welcome.
The benefits of practical training
On the Internet, any student can find portals with demo versions exam testing or use open bank on the FIPI website. By regularly completing test tasks, the student will gradually memorize literary terms and find out the answers to tricky questions in the exam.
A student who is accustomed to working with tests will be able to quickly navigate the exam. The solution of such problems contributes to the development of analytical thinking. In addition, the student will learn how typical exam questions are formed and how to enter answers to them.
Useful tips when preparing for testing in the framework of the exam
Anyone who wants to get the maximum score on the results of examination tests must adhere to the following recommendations:
- It is important to be able to concentrate on studying the material. If you are constantly distracted by the Internet and TV, then your studies will not be fruitful enough. During the study and repetition of materials for the exam, you must fully focus on the material being studied;
- for ease of perception and memorization of information, it should be ordered. This can be done using various tables, graphs and figures. The complex construction of terms can be broken down into a number of simple features;
- a brief summary of the studied materials will help to consolidate the information in memory;
- you should constantly repeat the studied information before starting to read new material;
- you need to regularly deal with solving tests and writing essays on literary works, which can be included in the assignment for the exam.
And most importantly, start preparing for the exam in advance. Remember that it is better to work out large amounts of information gradually, and after reading the work and writing a written work on it, at least two days should pass. Good luck on your exam!
This week, schoolchildren will write their first exams - in literature and geography. Gazeta.Ru decided to help 11th graders and conducted a survey among students who passed the USE with 100 points and entered the leading Russian universities on the budget. Survey participants shared their recipe for success and whether it is possible to cheat on an exam.
Dmitry Kiselev (100 points for the Unified State Examination in mathematics and physics)
I passed the exam myself, without tutors and any kind of cheating. The exam in physics and mathematics cannot be difficult, there are all tasks in the style of “read the condition and do not make a mistake in one formula”, but in the Russian language it was not possible to pass 100 points. I lost a couple of primary points somewhere in the area of \u200b\u200b"the logic and coherence of the text" in part C. Here it already depends on the inspector, that is, if in physics or mathematics you can get 100 points, guided by one formula (again, read the condition and not be mistaken, and, of course, to arrange carefully), then in Russian half of the success of part C depends on the inspector.
Write off for the exam? I don't know, haven't tried it. They say it's pretty easy. I don't know if this is true, but it's probably possible. One of my students (I tutor here a little) stopped preparing altogether, she says she doesn’t need more than 60 points, and for 60 she will write off something. Yes, there are so many ways to deceive a theoretically honest system.
I heard from friends that their friend’s dad, a stern businessman, a thunderstorm of the district, came to the director of the school where his daughter was supposed to take the exam, put a large amount on the table and said: “She will write what she knows, and let yours add the correct answers there ".
Thank God, everything ended relatively well: she wrote what she knew, but they could not finish it. The money was returned to my father, he did not inflict any consequences on anyone, but the fact is obvious: whoever wants to write it off.
English is still more fun. Familiar teachers, appointed by the guards, say that the quality of the microphones on which the text must be dictated, frankly, is not very good. That is, the record may turn out to be so clumsy that it will be impossible to make out half of the words. I don’t know if it’s an accident or not, but I didn’t want to take it myself, since I didn’t need it for admission. I'm not talking about the situation of past years, when everyone was cut off on one task in order to reduce the number of 100 points in the country. No one was able to prove anything later, although people swore that they had written the problem perfectly.
Daria Titova (100 points for the exam in literature)
“Six months before the exams, I suddenly decided that I definitely need to take the literature. Partly because, to be honest, no one else rented it, and I wanted to stand out.
And also because I firmly decided to enter the faculty of journalism, which surprised my family of doctors very much.
On this crazy desire, at first I myself crammed primary sources and read criticism.
But my real preparation began at the moment when I found a tutor - a university teacher who was once directly involved in the development of literature tests. She knew the kitchen itself: how what is assessed, what is and is not worth writing in essays. With her, my absolutely unsystematized knowledge of the subject was completely washed away from unnecessary tinsel and feelings - there were clear plans for analyzing the works and the final answer. Nothing extra.
It was not without luck: in my ticket I knew all the works well.
I didn’t even try to write off: there wasn’t enough time to think about it, plus it was the first exam, and I was frightened by the strict environment.
Remembering this whole process now, I think that it is impossible to pass all the subjects for 100 points. This exam does not test knowledge, well, or not only knowledge. Such a system requires a mechanical approach. It is worth at least a little to decide on further studies, choose the exams that you will take, and focus on them. Five or six 100-point exams do not give any guarantees for a further happy life.
Alexey Kubarev (100 points for the USE in mathematics)
“I passed the exam with 100 points simply because of my abilities (both parents graduated from the Moscow State University, there were no problems with mathematics even in one of the best physics and mathematics schools in Moscow). I prepared for the Unified State Examination only at school at the test exams, and I was also helped by a teacher who sometimes gave home tasks from the former part of C. I didn’t have any tutors - I just came and wrote. I didn’t worry about complexity, I only worried about a small amount of time (besides, I write slowly), so during the exam I tried to quickly evaluate how the problems were solved, and write the solutions right away in a clean copy.
I wrote practically nothing on the draft, except for some calculations.
Naturally, no matter how capable you are, you cannot guarantee writing the exam for 100 points, but you can guarantee 90+. Personally, when I went to the exam, I hoped that I would be lucky with two tasks from part C, I was sure about the rest.
I can advise today's 11th graders to worry less at the exam itself and before it. Personally, I performed a lot on stage, so I lost the habit of excitement. Also, in no case should you study all night long, especially before the exam. At least a couple of days before it, you need to start going to bed on time: it is absolutely necessary to have enough sleep during the exam.
Regarding cheating: I have not encountered this, but I heard from friends from other schools that, in principle, cheating is real.
For example, they say that people carried cribs, pinning them to their clothes with pins: the pins are too small for a metal detector to feel them.
But this, of course, is not at all for those who aim for 100 points: they simply have no time to write off from somewhere, just have time to solve problems.
It is quite possible to write all the exams for 100 points, although it is difficult. First, of course, nothing will come of it without luck, and luck in three exams is not the same as in one. Secondly, we must not forget about the human factor. Here is the inspector sitting, he has your hundredth work, he is already tired, and you have, say, bad handwriting. Naturally, he has a negative impression, and the probability of getting a hundred drops greatly. In mathematics, this is not so scary, but, say, in Russian, you can easily get a decrease in a score in an essay on some item like “expressiveness of speech”. And then go and prove that you should have the maximum score for this item!
In general, I advise you to worry less, get enough sleep before the exam, and also not to tear your hair out after writing for errors or unfinished assignments.
Spoil your nerves (and your hair), but don’t raise the score. ”
Ekaterina Kartseva (100 points for the exam in history)
“I prepared for the Unified State Examination in a year, before that I didn’t study history at all, I only knew the date of the Battle of Kulikovo. But it helped that I was treated well at school, and in the 11th grade I, one might say, did not attend school. Instead, from eleven to eight in the evening, I hung out several days a week with a tutor who, seeing my zeal, took surprisingly little money from me. Social contacts, of course, suffered during the year, because I did not leave the house.
It’s realistic to prepare well for the exam in a short time, you just need to sacrifice something (time, parties, other items). Well, the system is important.
I prepared like this: every day I started by taking notes from a gigantic textbook, then I studied the notes. Then I solved +10 tests, scrolled through public pages in VK, sorted out all the mistakes and wrote them out in separate notebooks, which I reread before going to bed. In the evening, she asked her mother to check the dates (in both directions), somewhere around 25 each. Closer to the exam, she already refused textbooks, and rewrote and reread the collection of tasks of part C more (for a year she collected a large Word file). In general, the whole thing usually took almost the whole day.
In my opinion, you can get 100 points in several subjects if you completed the educational standard at school, and in the 11th grade you pulled yourself into tests, plus you were lucky in the exam. But for this, all teachers must be strong subject teachers, and the student must have stable motivation throughout the entire high school. In general, in practice it is almost unrealizable, I think. She herself sacrificed mathematics for the sake of subjects that were needed for admission (49 points, it seemed). But in Russian you can always get 100 points, the subject is easy.
It was possible to cheat on exams, people got their phones, I had cheat sheets with me.
Anna Landau (100 points for the Unified State Examination in the Russian language)
I studied for two years with a tutor, but I was pretty lucky at the Unified State Examination. I got a good text with a clear problem, and it was easy enough to pick up the arguments. I believe that it is quite possible to pass the exam in Russian with 100 points, you just need to memorize a certain set of rules, solve tasks, pick up a sufficient number of arguments for different topics and write several dozen essays - so to speak, fill your hand.
It was impossible to write off, as for me, because there was strict supervision and control at the entrance.
From my point of view, in order to pass the exam with 100 points, you need luck rather than knowledge. When I was there, there were also cases when a person who wrote samplers for 60 points scored 90+ on the exam itself and vice versa. So the result, rather, depends on luck and on which option comes across.
Natalya Kirasheva (100 points for the Unified State Examination in Geography and Russian)
“It so happened that I passed two exams - in Russian language and geography - with 100 points. To be honest, I didn't expect it. Like everyone else, she strived for high results, but the number 100 was never cherished. I did not study with tutors: schoolwork and self-preparation were quite enough. There was still time left for dancing, friends and hiking. I believe that high results This is the merit of the teachers. They were wonderful for me: they didn’t scare me with “this exam, on which all life depends,” but calmly, lesson after lesson, they put knowledge into our heads.
Was it difficult? To be honest, I don't remember much excitement. Regarding the opportunity to cheat: the most cunning, perhaps, will always find one, but for me it’s easier to prepare and be confident in your knowledge than to worry and be afraid that you will be “spotted”.
Although I had cheat sheets in almost all exams - not for cheating, but solely for confidence.
I think that it is possible to pass the Unified State Examination both in Russian and in mathematics with 100 points, for sure there are such guys. Although I don't think I've seen them."
Olga Zinchenko (100 points for the Unified State Examination in social studies and in the Russian language)
“I got 100 points for social studies and Russian. I studied with tutors (I don’t remember exactly, but, in my opinion, every time a week), in social science and history I also went to group courses (at the Siberian Federal University and preparatory HSE courses). At the gymnasium, we had very strong teachers, so, in fact, the preparation was multifaceted, so to speak. Additionally, I studied history, but at the last moment I did not take it (because I became the All-Russian winner in English, which was enough for the universities where I wanted to), although, according to the teacher, I could pass 100 points (this, of course, already from the category of the subjunctive mood, but still).
As for the recipe for success, I can say that I reached this milestone only through hard work. I completed three or four tests a week (for each subject, including part C), I also listened to audio books on history (on the way to courses / to tutors). Without tutors, it would be difficult, since the exam is still a certain format, you can be amazingly literate, but if you didn’t write an essay according to a certain template, then the points will be reduced.
I basically didn’t cheat on the exam, but I know that many were sitting with their phones.
Some took pictures of assignments and sent them, and then tutors / older friends or someone else sent answers to them. Now, probably, such a system will not work, I heard that jammers are being installed, although they also scared us with them.
