And this is not surprising - the first three places allow you to apply with benefits both to HSE itself and to other universities in the country.

But people come to competitions not only for the sake of victory. Participants love the Olympiad for interesting tasks and development of abilities.

New. In 2018, Financial Literacy and Business Fundamentals were added to the standard set of subjects. You can get an idea of ​​what these disciplines are from courses in social science, mathematics, and from the HSE website. Unfortunately, the first places in these Olympiads do not yet allow entering a university without exams. But the winners and runners up can get extra points to their own USE results upon admission to HSE. By the way, we already wrote about how else you can.

Participation

Registration. In October-November, everyone registers on the site and chooses profiles for which they want to complete tasks. You can choose several at once - the main thing is that the dates of the competitions do not coincide.

Qualifying stage. Held remotely in November-December. Participants do not need to go anywhere: on the appointed day they pass a special online test. The exception is for designers. Instead of a test, they post their creative work in their personal account.

The final stage. Passes or takes place internally in February and proceeds some days. Those who have received an invitation to the second stage participate in it - usually about 20% of those who took the online test. Then the participants choose the nearest regional site to them. They often go to other regions - in 2018, sites were opened in 42 cities.

Here the tasks are already more difficult and interesting. For example, on Journalism, it was necessary to write an essay and a news item based on a photograph. And in the "Financial Literacy" competition - to compare microloans and consumer loans.

Results. As a rule, the names of winners and prize-winners are announced in early April. The results are valid for four years, but some universities enroll only winners of 11 classes.

Also, universities themselves determine on what conditions to accept winners and prize-winners: without exams or at the maximum USE score. It depends on the prize place and the level of the Olympiad. There are only three levels: the higher it is, the more likely it is to enter a prestigious institution, bypassing the general competition.

For example, the winners of the "Highest standard" in mathematics (level I) are accepted to the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow State University, MEPhI, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and other universities. And the winners of the “Step into the Future” Olympiad in mathematics (III level) can be enrolled without exams only in a few universities, among which, however, are RUDN and PRUE. Plekhanov.

How to prepare

Materials. To prepare for the competition, look at the materials from last year's Olympiads. Understand the topics, the structure of tasks and solve everything that comes to hand. It is not known which of these will be useful on day X.

Also read the reviews of other participants or better ask them personally. "Been in Combat" can give you useful tips.

Time. You have to prepare not only for tasks, but also for the fact that you will have little time for them. In order not to panic and not to add answers in the last seconds, distribute your forces in advance:

🚀 Find out how much time is given to solve tasks. At the final stage, depending on the class and profile of the Olympiad, it is 120-240 minutes.

🚀 Take on immediately those tasks in which you feel confident.

🚀 Do not lean on the draft, but do only calculations and short notes in it, otherwise there will not be enough time for a clean draft. The exception is olympiads in mathematics, physics and design. There, a draft can be applied to work.

🚀 Still, take the last 15 minutes to copy the answers into a clean copy.

What gives victory and prizes

1. Great satisfaction and pride in the work done.

2. Benefits for admission to the HSE and other universities. But in order to confirm the Olympiad, you will have to pass the USE in a specialized subject with at least 75 points.

For 10th and 11th graders, benefits can be in the form of enrollment without entrance exams or 100 points on the exam. For the rest - invitations immediately to the final stage next year. Also, winners and prize-winners can count on a grant from the President of the Russian Federation.

Each university sets its own benefits. For example, here are the profiles of the "Highest standard" that allow the winners and prize-winners to enter the HSE in 2018:

Schedule of the second (final) stage of the Interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren "Highest standard"

Interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren "Highest standard"

This year, in the Interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren "Highest standard", registration for which will last until November 13 inclusive, three new profiles have appeared for students in grades 9-11 - biology, chemistry and cultural studies. 11th-graders who become winners or prize-winners of the Olympiad in these profiles will receive points for individual achievements upon admission to the HSE.

Biology

The appearance of biology in the list of profiles of the "Highest standard" is associated with the opening of a new faculty at HSE - biology and biotechnology. Recruitment to the undergraduate program of this faculty ( educational program"Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology") will be held for the first time in 2019.

Success at the Olympiad will depend not only on how much the student knows, but on how he will be able to use his knowledge when answering questions, emphasizes Yulia Makarova, chairman of the Methodological Commission of the "Highest Standard" in biology.

To complete the tasks of the second (final) stage, you need to see different aspects of biological problems, offer ways to solve them, think outside the box and creatively. “This is exactly what the guys will need in the future to succeed in science,” Yulia Makarova believes. - Yes, and in life it is also useful. When looking for answers, the Internet will not help, you need a head! Answering the questions of the Olympiad, the guys will be able to offer different hypotheses, and the more complex the hypothesis, the rarer it is, the higher the score will be. Maximum points the one who offers the most reasonable explanations will be selected.

For those who perform best at the Olympiad, the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology plans to hold full-time schools where students can communicate with scientists, teachers and get to know each other better.

Schoolchildren who are passionate about biology can also take part in the research and design work"Aerobatics", which in the direction of "biology" is held in the format of the competition-conference "Intel-Vanguard".

Chemistry

The organizers are waiting for talented young people who study chemistry with enthusiasm and understand the beauty of this science, who are able to creatively comprehend the connections between physical laws, theoretical chemistry, chemical processes, properties of chemical compounds and materials.

“In the tasks of the first (selective) stage, we do not try to check the depth of erudition of schoolchildren, because in this case the answers can be quickly found on Google, sorting through the reference data,” says Igor Svitanko, chairman of the Methodological Commission on Chemistry. - Also, we do not offer participants to make mechanical long calculations. The main thing for us is to check how the guys think.

When preparing for the qualifying stage, Igor Svitanko recommends focusing on demo versions - "nothing will be more difficult." And the tasks of the second (final) stage will be developed later, taking into account the level of participants in the qualifying stage.

Schoolchildren who are passionate about chemistry can also take part in the Aerobatics research and design competition, which in the direction of chemistry is held in the format of the Intel Avangard competition-conference.

Culturology

The idea to hold the "Highest Test" in this subject came from the teachers of the School of Cultural Studies in order to identify motivated students who plan to connect their future with the study of modern cultural processes, institutions and practices. The Olympiad will be of interest to fans of series and computer games, attentive readers school classics and fans of the theater, enthusiastic travelers, connoisseurs of high and street art, believes Elena Karpenko, chairman of the methodological commission of the "Highest standard" on cultural studies.

The tasks are focused not so much on testing traditional art and literary knowledge (dates, names, titles of works, etc.), but on identifying abilities for analytical work with texts and visual materials from different cultural environments.

Students must understand the historical and social circumstances in which cultural products exist, be able to isolate cultural codes that preserve and transmit meaningful information. After all, culture is not only “great works of brilliant masters”, but also the circumstances of people's life together.

To demonstrate high results at the Olympiad, you need to master the material from school courses social science, world artistic culture, literature and history. However, participants should understand that cultural studies is an interdisciplinary field of research, so they need to be able to analyze information from the perspectives of different disciplines.

Social science

The organizers of the Olympiad "Highest Standard" remind that, in addition to the appearance of new subjects, this year the format of tasks for the final stage of the Olympiad in social science has changed.

If earlier the emphasis was on writing a large essay, which often turned into an essay, now the participant is required to possess not only writing, but also reading skills, the presence critical thinking, the ability to analyze a variety of data about society. In previous years, it was necessary to complete disparate tasks in five sections of social science, but now the Olympiad has become more interdisciplinary: you need to be able to apply knowledge from all sections of the science of society in a complex way. Detailed information can be found.

The history of Olympiads for schoolchildren is slightly less than the history of HSE itself. The university first opened its doors for holding intellectual competitions of students in 1998. Since 2010, the Olympiad has been held in close cooperation with the leading Russian universities. In 2012, the Olympiad received a new name - the Interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren "Highest standard". The words "highest standard" in the title refer, of course, to the winners and prize-winners of the Olympiad. The fact that we have them of the “highest standard” is evidenced by the data of the Interuniversity study “Achievement of first-year students of higher educational institutions in Russia”, conducted under the auspices of the Russian Council of School Olympiads. According to these data, the Higher School of Economics is annually included in the TOP-10 universities with the highest academic performance of the Olympiad diplomats.

Schoolchildren of 7-11 grades from Russia and neighboring countries are invited to participate in the Olympiad. IN Last year 82713 participants tried their hand at the Olympiad "Highest standard". Participants represent more than 83 subjects of Russia. A wide geographical coverage - from Kamchatka to Kaliningrad - allows us to rightfully call the Olympiad of our university interregional. Along with Russian schoolchildren, almost 4,000 schoolchildren from the CIS and Baltic countries “fight” for victory in the Olympiad competitions.

The list of Olympiad competition subjects is constantly growing - this year new profiles have been added: biology, chemistry and cultural studies.

Participation in the Olympiad is free. The Olympiad is held in two stages. In order to take part, schoolchildren must complete the online registration procedure on the website within the established time limits. The qualifying round takes place in behind full-time in online testing mode. You can participate in it from any computer with Internet access. The final stage is held in person in more than 30 cities of the Russian Federation, CIS and Baltic countries.

Almost all subjects of the Olympiad "Highest standard" are included in the List of School Olympiads for the 2018/19 academic year, approved by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. School graduates who became winners and prize-winners in the year of graduation receive benefits when entering higher educational establishments Russia:

• enrollment without entrance exams for training programs corresponding to the profile subject of the Olympiad;
• maximum USE score in the subject corresponding to the profile of the Olympiad.

Winners and prize-winners from non-graduation classes in the next academic year are entitled to take part immediately in the final stage.

The university occupies the top lines in the ranking of universities in terms of the number of winners and prize-winners of the Olympiads admitted to the first year. Every year, about a thousand capable and talented students who successfully compete at Olympiads become students of various HSE faculties.

In both paragraphs, we state the same things: the boys fed the iguana, a gift from their parents. However, in the first case there is a dry presentation, and in the second - lively. This is achieved by mentioning that they fed the iguana fresh salad, that she loved it very much, that they had to go to the local market for it, that they did it together, because they were used to sharing everything.

Details set the mood and are extremely important for the short story format. However, they should not be abused either. If there is too much detail, then you risk going beyond the vocabulary limit, as well as tiring the reader and turning an interesting narrative into a boring one. In general, it is not necessary to describe everything in detail. Instead, you should choose only the brightest and most eye-catching.

If possible, in the process of writing we try to show off the vocabulary. Ideal if lexicon will be on the topic that we have chosen. In this case, it's a hobby.

(picture K) We did lots of things together: biking, playing computer games, swimming, skiing, to mention just a few. I keep some photos in my album which remind me of those happy days when we were free to do whatever we wanted. It was then that we promised each other that every year we would spend a holiday together, no matter what. And we kept this promise.

Having listed what the heroes of the story did, we demonstrate the vocabulary corresponding to the topic. As with details, there is no need to overdo it. Even if you know three dozen names of different hobbies, this is not a reason to write them all. Choose the most, in your opinion, advanced.

Introduction and conclusion

So, we have made four paragraphs that are attached to the pictures. But that is not all. First, on behalf of us introduction and conclusion required. Secondly, the story itself has not yet acquired completeness. IN this moment he consistently describes someone's memories. It is difficult to imagine that this can arouse the interest of the reader. To attract attention, you need to make the plot livelier. Let's use the introduction to do this.

"Come on, Jake, hold it!" he cried. I stretched my arm as far as I could, but the rope escaped me. I didn't dare look down, where the abyss was patiently waiting for my arrival. Mountaineering, this latest hobby of ours, had all the chances of being my last.

With this introduction, we kill two birds with one stone: we arouse the interest of the reader (who now wants to know whether the hero will fall or hold on) and mention the topic of the story (hobby).

The conclusion remains. In it, we must tell the reader, who has patiently mastered the previous four paragraphs, how the matter ended.

In a frantic, desperate move I grasped the end of the rope, and soon I was back to the top of the rock from where I had slipped. "You know what, Luke" I said, trying to catch my breath, "I"m kind of tired of climbing. Why don't we make a nice snowman instead?
