Evaluation criteria 27 exam assignments in computer science. When to expect results? How the computer evaluates

Every graduate who wants to become a student of one of the universities of the Russian Federation in 2018 has a difficult task - to successfully pass the Unified State Exam, as well as to choose the right educational institution and faculty for submitting documents. Most 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 some light on important points.

In 2017-2018, the basic rules for passing the exam will not be significantly changed. This means that for graduates, the 100-point grading system for final tests will also be relevant.

How is it going?

During the examination of the examination papers, for each correctly completed task, the graduate is credited with the so-called "primary points", which upon completion of the examination of the work are summed up and transferred to the "test score", which is indicated in the USE certificate.

Important! Since 2009, the scale of transferring the primary and test scores of the USE into the traditional school five-point grades has not been officially used, because in 2017 and 2018 the final exams are not included in the certificate.

Verification of work is carried out in two ways:

• automatically (using special programs and technical means);
• manually (the correctness of the detailed answers is checked by two independent experts).

It is quite difficult to dispute the result of an automatic check. If, when filling out the answer table, the basic rules were not followed, the computer may not protect the result, and only the graduate himself will be to blame for this, who has not followed a number of mandatory rules.

If controversial points arise during the expert review, a third specialist is involved, whose opinion will be decisive.

When to expect results?

The following time frames apply by law:

• data processing (on compulsory subjects) in the RSCI should not last longer than 6 calendar days;
• for data processing (optional subjects), the RCRO is given 4 days;
• verification at the Federal Testing Center should take no more than 5 business days;
• approval of the results by the State Examination Commission - 1 more day;
• up to 3 days for sending the results to the USE participants.

In practice, it can take from 8 to 14 days from the moment of passing the exam to receiving the official result.

Converting USE scores into grades

Despite the fact that officially in 2018 the scale for converting points in USE subjects into a five-point assessment 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 required values ​​in the cells of a huge table. It is enough just to 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 online calculators of the USE score and its translation into a 5-point grade.

Internet systems for applicants

The 2017-2018 academic year is over, the exam has been passed, the results are known, and even the interactive scale for translating primary points showed that the USE result was in a fairly good range ... But is this enough to enter the desired university?

Assess your real chances of joining based on test scores and the university's minimum passing threshold.

Important! The minimum passing score is formed by the university itself. It will directly depend on the points of applicants who apply in 2018. The more popular the specialty, the higher the passing score will be.

Often, even 100-point results are not enough for admission to the budget at TOP faculties. Chances to see their surname in the lists of those who entered such directions are only for the prize-winners of the Olympiads, who give significant additional points.

In 2018, the most popular services for selecting a university and monitoring the threshold of entrance points for various specialties will be:

1. Ucheba.ru
2. Apply online
3. Higher School of Economics calculator
4. Postyplenie.ru
5. Typical applicant

Finding these services is very easy. It is enough to enter their name into any search engine.

Information technologies are undergoing rapid qualitative changes at the present stage. This is due to the fact that informatization affects almost all spheres of life: education, medicine, technology, production, etc. Good specialists in this area are in great demand. Therefore, the training of specialists in the field of informatics plays a special role. And it begins even within the walls of secondary educational institutions, where every year some of the graduates choose to pass the exam in computer science. The 2019 school year will be no exception.

Features of the exam in computer science

The Unified State Exam in Informatics and Information and Communication Technologies is an optional exam. It is taken by those guys who need to present its results to the university. It is annually chosen by about 7% of eleventh graders from the total number of graduates.

The minimum test score in the Unified State Exam in computer science is 40 on a 100-point scale. If the student does not score this number of points, then the exam is considered unsuccessful.

For competitive admission to a university, you need to score from 60 points and above.

The duration of the exam in computer science is 3 hours 55 minutes.

Who Chooses Computer Science?

The number of those wishing to take computer science after grade 11 is quite stable. In recent years, this figure has fluctuated around 50 thousand people annually.

This exam is chosen by those students who are going to enter the areas of training related to IT specialties:

• programming;
• applied mathematics and computer science;
• information and computer science;
• computer technology and informatics.

That is, this is everything that is associated with the development, maintenance, deployment of software information systems of the most varied meaning.

Universities can choose a third exam, in addition to the two compulsory ones - mathematics and the Russian language. The third exam is usually physics or computer science.

About changes in the exam in informatics

Informatics is one of the most dynamically developing subjects, as updates in the information sphere occur continuously.

Is it possible to prepare for it in detail? Those guys who set out to storm its heights ask themselves such questions.

The examination model cannot change too often, since preparation for the exam takes more than one year, but the entire time of studying at school in this subject. So in 2019, there are no changes in the computer science exam, fortunately for the graduates of the current academic year.

You can get acquainted with computer science, specification and codifier on the FIPI website. In the section "Projects KIM USE, OGE and GVE 2019" posted these documents.

How to prepare for the exam?

The computer science course at school returns to theoretical computer science and programming, that is, to such things that are needed for further education at a university, for professional activity. Less attention is paid to user skills due to the fact that modern children are familiar with smartphones and tablets from childhood and are well versed in them as users.

Computer science requires a graduate to have knowledge of mathematics, so there are many tasks in KIMs related to mathematical issues of computer science:

• calculus system;
• coding;
• presentation of information.

So it will be difficult to pass computer science without mathematical preparation.

Also, a student passing computer science must be proficient in a foreign language, English. He is very much needed in professional activities.

There are quite a few programming courses on the Internet that offer quality exam preparation. Therefore, you can prepare yourself both independently and with the help of a teacher.

What is tested on the exam?

The Unified State Exam in Informatics consists of 27 tasks.

The option consists of two parts:

Thus, practically all sections of the school computer science course are checked.

Programming is widely represented.

• In part 1 in five tasks, you need to check what a particular program prints, that is, to understand it. But this is not only programming, you need to understand the algorithm that this fragment implements.
• In part 2, there are two tasks where you need to write a fragment of the program. There is also a task in which you need to find an error in the program.

Consequently, about 30% of USE assignments (from basic to advanced) contain programming elements.

The computer science exam is designed for a specialized level of education. It is assumed that at the specialized level, computer science should be taught at school 4 times a week.

If the school implements specialized training in computer science, then this is quite enough without any additional independent studies.

If the school does not have specialized training in computer science, then you need to prepare yourself or look for a teacher-tutor in the subject.

The problem that schools face is the lack of modern computers and good Internet, especially in small towns and villages, as well as high-level specialists who can prepare for the Unified State Exam in computer science.

1. Don't be afraid of the computer science exam. In fact, it is not very difficult (for the trained). It is easier than a physics or chemistry exam.
2. Clearly know the assessment criteria in order to develop a strategy for preparing for the computer science exam.
3. Prepare regularly, replenishing the piggy bank with new knowledge.

Here you can watch a video on how to independently prepare for the exam in computer science and what to do on the exam:

Ahead is the 2018-2019 academic year, which will be the graduation year for many Russian schoolchildren who are already concerned about the successful completion of the Unified State Exam and successful admission to a good university.

We will tell you how the examination papers are checked in different subjects, how the scale for converting USE scores into grades works, and what innovations can be expected in 2019.

Principles for evaluating the work of the Unified State Examination in 2019

Over the past few years, the USE system in a number of subjects has undergone significant changes and has been brought to the optimal (according to the organizers) format, which makes it possible to fully assess the amount of knowledge of a graduate in a particular subject.

In 2018-2019, no cardinal changes are expected, and it is safe to say that the same principles will be applied to assessing the work of graduates as in 2017-2018:

1. automated check of forms;
2. involvement of experts in checking tasks with detailed answers.

How does a computer evaluate?

The first part of the examination work involves a short answer to the questions posed, which the USE participant must enter in a special answer form.

Important! Before starting the work, be sure to read the rules for filling out the form, since an incorrectly executed work will not pass an automated check.

It is quite difficult to dispute the result of a computer check. If the work was not counted due to the fault of the participant who incorrectly filled out the form, the result is considered unsatisfactory.

How do the experts assess?

In many subjects, in addition to the test part, there are tasks for which it is necessary to give a full detailed answer. Since it is impossible to automate the process of checking such answers, experts are involved in checking - experienced teachers with extensive work experience.

When checking the exam, the teacher does not know (and even with a great desire cannot find out) whose work lies before him and in which city (region) it was written. The check is carried out on the basis of uniform assessment criteria developed specifically for each subject. Each work is checked by two experts. If the opinion of the experts coincides, the assessment is put on the form, but if the independent appraisers disagree, then a third expert is involved in the verification, whose opinion will be decisive.

That is why it is important to write legibly and accurately so that there is no ambiguous interpretation of words and phrases.

Primary and test scores

Based on the results of the test, the USE participant is awarded a certain number of primary points, which are then converted into text (points for the entire test). Different subjects provide for different maximum primary points, depending on the number of tasks. But after bringing the result according to the corresponding table, the USE participant receives a final test score, which is the official result of his final tests (maximum 100 points).

So, in order to pass the exam, it is enough to collect the established minimum threshold for the primary score:

Based on these numbers, you can understand for sure that the exam has been passed. But what is the grade? The online scale of 2018 will help you with this, designed specifically for transferring primary USE scores into test ones, which will also be relevant for the results of 2019. A handy calculator can be found at 4ege.ru.

Announcement of official results

Graduates are always worried about the question - how quickly can you find out what result was obtained upon passing and what the scale will be in 2019 for translating the points scored on the exam into traditional grades.

Teachers often undertake to reassure the students, working out the tasks of the USE tickets immediately after the exam and assessing the quality of the work done by the students and the amount of primary points scored. The official results must be waited for 8-14 days, in accordance with the established regulations for the USE-2019. On average, the organizers approve the following inspection schedules:

• 3 days to check the work;
• 5-6 days to process information at the federal level;
• 1 working day for the approval of the results of the GEC;
• 3 days for posting results on the network and transferring data to educational institutions.

In the event of unforeseen situations and technical problems, these terms may be revised.

You can find out the owl score:

• directly at your school;
• on the check.ege.edu.ru portal;
• on the website gosuslugi.ru.

Converting scores to grades

Since 2009, the results of the USE are not included in the graduate certificate. Therefore, today there is no official state system for translating the USE result into an assessment on a school 5-point scale. Within the framework of the introductory campaign, it is the test score gained on the exam that is always summed up and taken into account. But, many students are still interested to know how they passed the exam - for 3 or 4, 4 or 5. For this, there is a special table in which the correspondences for each of the 100 points in each of the subjects are detailed.
