Scale for converting primary scores of the OGE 2016

As in previous years, the OGE-2016 (GIA-9) is conducted in 14 academic subjects. Graduates of 9th grade take two compulsory exams in the Russian language and mathematics, as well as two exams in any elective subject. Let us remind you that last year students could limit themselves to only two compulsory subjects, and take the rest on a voluntary basis.

Primary scores for completing the OGE examination work are converted to a mark on a 5-point scale. In this regard, the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) published “Recommendations for the use and interpretation of the results of examination papers for the main state exam (OGE) in 2016.” Regional commissions are given the right to change the scale of transferring points up or down in compulsory subjects.

The points received on the OGE and recalculated into a five-point system affect the grades in the certificate in the corresponding subject. The certificate contains the average between the mark received on the OGE and the annual mark in the subject. Rounding is carried out according to the rules of mathematics, that is, 3.5 is rounded to 4, and 4.5 to 5. In addition, the results of the OGE of students can be used for admission to specialized classes of secondary school.

Graduates can find out their grades for the exam at their school after the work has been checked and the results have been approved.

FIPI draws the attention of teachers and school leaders to the fact that the scales for converting primary scores into marks on a five-point scale for the OGE are of a RECOMMENDATIONAL NATURE.

The main state exams in Russia have begun. For schoolchildren who have completed 9th grade, the time has come for diligent preparatory studies and, of course, stress. No one wants to score fewer points than they should.

In this article, you will find a table for converting OGE points using a five-point system. Based on it, you will know what minimum you need to score for a “three”, “four” and “five” in each subject in 2017.

Scale for converting OGE points to grades

Russian language

The mandatory exam in this subject consists of 3 parts:

1. Presentation
2. Testing
3. The task consists of writing a complete and detailed answer

Mathematics

The second compulsory subject that you will have to pass in order to advance to 10th grade. Those wishing to continue their studies in the faculties of physics and mathematics are recommended to score the maximum score, which in 2017 ranges from 22 to 32.

The examination paper in mathematics, as well as in the Russian language, consists of 3 parts:

• Algebra (11 tasks), tasks are divided into basic and advanced levels of difficulty
• Geometry (8 tasks)
• Real mathematics (7 tasks)

The recommended passing score is 30. In order to get a “C”, you will need to score at least 8 points (5 in algebra and 3 in geometry). The results will be available on June 16, 2017.

If you have completed 11 grades, then our next publication will be useful to you, in which we posted and also told you how you can find out the results by full name and document number!

Physics

The exam in this subject includes:

1. 4 tasks that require a complete answer, as well as a practical task using special equipment.

For “3” you will need to score 10. If you want to continue your studies in college in technical specialties, then the recommended number is 30 points. The results will be announced (June 13 - 14).

Chemistry

Work on this subject can be entirely your choice. The exam is carried out in 2 stages:

• The test includes 19 tasks that require a short answer.
• 4 tasks (with meaningful answer), laboratory work

Based on a five-point system, to get a “5” you will need to score from 27 to 34. For a “3” it is enough to score 9 points (or 9 to complete 9 tasks correctly). You will be able to find out the results on June 16, 2017.

Biology

The maximum score for this subject is from 36 to 46, which means that you need to correctly answer 36 questions (consisting of a test and tasks for which you need to provide a detailed answer).

If you are planning to apply to medical colleges, then you should score - 33 (recommended passing score).

Computer science

The examination paper consists of two parts (a test and 2 tasks performed on a computer).

The minimum score for “3” is 5. To pass with excellent marks, you will need to score 22. Students are given 150 minutes to complete the work.

Results announcement schedule

Regardless of the discipline you choose, prepare thoroughly. We hope that you will all score the required number of points and you will not have to retake it after September 1st.

At the OGE 2017 in chemistry, ninth-graders will be offered 22 tasks or 24 tasks (depending on the type of exam), for solving each of them you can get from 1 to 5 points. Maximum amount primary points will be 34 (if the OGE is taken without the experimental part) or 38 (if experimental tasks are completed). The tables below show the maximum points that can be earned for each task.

Table 1. OGE without experimental part

Table 2. OGE with laboratory work

The scores obtained are converted into traditional grades. If a ninth-grader receives less than 9 primary points, the OGE in chemistry is considered failed. To receive an “excellent” grade, it is not necessary to solve all exam tasks.

Table 3. Conversion of primary OGE scores into grades (OGE without experimental part)

Table 4. Conversion of primary OGE scores into grades (OGE with laboratory work)

Do not forget that the recalculation scale is changing: it was different in 2016, and will also change slightly in 2018 (if only because of the change in the structure of the test and the number of tasks). The indicated figures are valid only for 2017 and only for the OGE in chemistry.

For many, the OGE is the first serious test, but why is it necessary? The main state exam is needed to assess the student’s knowledge over the past nine years of study, this is clear to everyone. Good results in passing this exam are a guarantee for admission to a specialized tenth grade, technical school, college or other secondary specialized educational institution.

The system of passing such exams is no longer new, but the translation of OGE scores into conventional grades still raises many questions. The article will help you figure out what grades will allow you to successfully pass the exam and enter specialized institutions.

State certification

It was the introduction of the OGE and the Unified State Exam into the educational system that made it possible to abolish entrance exams to universities and technical schools. The entire system is based on a single scale for converting Unified State Examination points, thanks to which the final grade is obtained. But how do you figure it out?

Educational institutions set their own OGE passing score for admission to various areas of study. If the student’s score exceeds the passing level established by the institution, the applicant will be enrolled as a student.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation establishes certain gradations for applicants, therefore the Main State Exam is conducted in accordance with the established requirements.

A passing OGE score makes it possible to understand whether the student was able to pass the certification or failed the exam, whether the student has mastered the theoretical minimum of the school course or whether he will have to re-take the course in 9th grade. In turn, the passing threshold for the OGE, established by a secondary specialized educational institution, makes it possible to determine whether the applicant will be enrolled in the ranks of students of this institution.

A little history

Exams in the form of the Unified State Examination and the Unified State Examination have long become familiar to Russian schoolchildren. However, their form, rules and conditions are periodically changed and adjusted. Graduate students, in order not to inadvertently miss important innovations, have to constantly monitor information about updates in the system.

The exam in the form of the Unified State Exam was first held for eleventh grades in 2001. But at that time, the experiment was carried out only in five areas and only in eight disciplines. By 2008, exams in this form began to be held throughout the country and in almost all subjects.

Transition to tenth grade

To further continue your studies at school, you also need to pass the OGE. To move to tenth grade, a student will have to pass two compulsory subjects (Russian language and mathematics), and in addition to them, two additional ones to choose from. And if last year it was allowed to limit oneself to only two academic disciplines, then this year a ninth-grader must pass four exams.

To enter classes with one or another educational focus, you will need to prepare for certification in the main subject of the profile. For example, those entering the tenth grade with a legal background are forced to take an exam in social studies and history, with a linguistic background - a foreign language, and so on.

The modern education system gives every right to undergo certification in almost any discipline mastered during the period of study. By the way, deciding on a major for graduates is often difficult. This is where difficulties arise with choosing special items.

Admission to technical school

The passing OGE score for admission to a technical school is calculated in the same way. Two main subjects are required - Russian language and mathematics. This academic year, they added two more mandatory exams in disciplines that applicants can choose independently. Those entering technical schools for economic specialties additionally take social studies, and the medical field - chemistry and biology.

There is also the possibility of admission to technical schools for those who did not pass the Unified State Examination after the eleventh grade. In this case, enrollment is based on the results of the OGE exam and, as a rule, immediately into the second year of study.

Eleventh grade graduates upon admission to a technical school are usually accepted immediately into the second year, because the first year of secondary specialized education, as a rule, is devoted exclusively to school programs.

How are points calculated?

The main state exam is mandatory for everyone, but not everyone knows how to correctly calculate their results. The passing OGE score for admission is a certain criterion of knowledge and a guideline in the student’s aspirations.

The minimum criteria for passing the exam are approved for each year. Based on them, a system is established for converting points into the usual marks on a five-point scale. However, they play a role in deciding whether a student has passed the exam, but not in admission. To admit a student, the technical school admissions committee takes into account the passing or average passing grade.

How to calculate the OGE score?

Each educational institution sets its own lower grade thresholds for admitting students. As a rule, the arithmetic average of the certificate grades and (or) the total result of the OGE is taken as the basis. Depending on the maximum indicator approved in the current year, the minimum passing score for admission is set.

Converting OGE points into grades

The school converts the final indicator into a grade on an approved scale. The result obtained affects the grade in the student’s certificate. This translation is of a recommendatory nature. The following data was approved for 2017:

1. The minimum OGE score, that is, the maximum score for passing the Russian language exam, is 15, the maximum is 39.

A student will receive a mark of “two” if he scores only 14 points or less. “satisfactory” starts from 15, “good” - from 25 and “excellent” - from 34. Despite the fact that to get a B, you need to score at least 4 points for literacy and at least 6 to earn an A.

2. OGE in mathematics. The passing score for passing this exam is 8. To get a C in this discipline, you must score at least 3 points in algebra and 2 points in geometry and real mathematics.

The maximum possible score for this exam is 32 points, which includes 14, 11 and 7 points in Algebra, Geometry and Real Mathematics respectively.

Starting from the minimum passing threshold and up to 14 - the score is "three", from 15 points scored and up to 21 - "four", and 22-32 - "excellent".

When entering specialized institutions, applicants whose score is at least 18 are considered.

3. In physics, you can score a maximum of 40 points. A well-deserved three is at least 10. To earn a four, you need to score at least 20, and for a five - from 31 points.

4. The maximum result of the chemistry exam is 34. A grade of three is guaranteed for nine points scored, a grade of “four” for 18-26, and a grade of “five” for 27 and above.

23 points is the minimum for applicants to specialized institutions.

In addition, the chemistry exam includes a part with a real experiment, which is also scored. The maximum result in this part of the exam is 38, the passing threshold is 9. For an “excellent” mark, you need to score 29 points, and for a “B”, from 19 to 28 is enough. The acceptable minimum is 25 points.

5. When preparing to take biology, a student should know that the passing grade for a technical school is 33 points. A graduate who scores from 13 to 25 points on the relevant exam will receive a three, and a five - from 37 to 46.

6. The minimum for geography is 12 points, but this will not be enough for admission to specialized institutions. In this case, the passing score of the OGE must be at least 24. To pass with “excellent” means scoring from 27 to 32, and with “good” - from 20 to 26.

7. For the social studies exam, the following translation is used:

• 15-24 - “satisfactory”;
• 25-33 - “good”;
• 24-39 - “excellent”.

30 points is the minimum for those who have chosen to study in this area.

8. Prospective students who have chosen history as their major discipline must score 32 points for admission. For everyone else, the history grade is determined according to the following scheme:

• 13-23 - “three”;
• 24-34 - “four”;
• 35-44 - "five".

9. To get a C for a literature exam, it is enough to score from 7 to 13 points, 14-18 for a B and at least 19 for an “excellent” grade. Only applicants who score at least 15 are considered to continue their studies in the field.

10. The computer science exam is graded in the range from 5 to 22 points, where up to 11 inclusive is a three, up to 17 inclusive is a four, respectively 18-22 is a grade of five.

11. Foreign language exam (can be French, Spanish, English and German) - the most extensive. The maximum possible score for it is 70. The minimum threshold is 28. In addition:

• 29-45 - rating "three"
• 46-58 - rating "four"
• 59-70 - rating "five".

The minimum score for applicants in the field is 56.

How to calculate the passing score for the OGE?

Everything is simple here too. It is enough to know the approved standards for converting points into grades and your results.

Upon admission, as a rule, two indicators are formed from OGE scores and grades. The first is the average score of the certificate grades. It is calculated as an arithmetic mean, that is, the sum of all grades is divided by the number of items. The second indicator is the overall result of passing the state exam, that is, the sum of all points scored. More often it is given as a percentage, which is calculated from the overall maximum result.

A reasonable question arises: does the OGE affect grades on the certificate? Yes, it does. The grade obtained based on the exam results is summed with the annual grade received and divided by two. When rounding, elementary laws of mathematics apply. Thus, if the annual grade in the subject is “four”, and the exam is passed with “five”, then the arithmetic mean will be 4.5, which, in turn, should be rounded to five. The graduate's certificate will show "excellent".

Unified State Exam

How many points do you need to score on the Unified State Exam?

The evaluation system of the Unified State Exam does not differ from the evaluation system of the OGE. The minimum passing threshold is set by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and institutions themselves formulate selection criteria, including how many points you need to score on the Unified State Exam for admission. Consequently, whether there are enough points for a C grade is decided by the state, and whether it is enough for admission is decided by educational institutions.

Validity period for exam results

All exams have a period during which their results will be valid. For students taking the Unified State Exam in 2017, this period will be limited to four years. Thus, the points received are valid until May 2021.

If you do not have time to submit documents for the next four years, you will have to take the exam again to be admitted. The validity periods for the results of the Unified State Examination are the same as for the Unified State Examination. Good luck to everyone passing the exams!

Since we have published the criteria for presentation and essay in the appropriate sections, it remains to publish only the criteria for assessing literacy and notes from the demo version of the OGE 2016.

Notes

When assessing literacy (GC1–GC4), the volume of presentation and composition should be taken into account.
The standards indicated in the table are used to check and evaluate presentation and essays, the total volume of which is 140 words or more.
If the total volume of the essay and presentation is 70–139 words, then for each of the criteria GK1–GK4 no more than 1 point is given:
GK1 – 1 point is given if there are no spelling errors or one minor mistake is made;
GK2 – 1 point is given if there are no punctuation errors or one minor error is made;
GK3 – 1 point is given if there are no grammatical errors;
GK4 – 1 point is given if there are no speech errors.
If the presentation and the essay as a whole contain less than 70 words, then such work according to the criteria of GK1–GK4 is scored zero points. If a student has completed only one type of creative work (or
presentation, or essay), then assessment according to the criteria of GK1–GK4 is also carried out in accordance with the amount of work:
– if the work contains at least 140 words, then literacy is assessed according to the table above;
– if the work contains 70–139 words, then for each of the criteria GK1–GK4 no more than 1 point is given (see above);
– if the work contains less than 70 words, then such work according to the criteria of GK1–GK4 is assessed with zero points.
Maximum points, which the examinee can receive for completing the entire examination work, – 39 .

In accordance with the Procedure for conducting state final certification for educational programs of basic general education (order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated December 25, 2013 No. 1394, registered by the Ministry of Justice of Russia on February 3, 2014 No. 31206) “48. Examination papers are checked by two experts. Based on the results of the check, the experts independently assign points for each answer to the tasks of the examination work... In the event of a significant discrepancy in the points given by two experts, a third check is assigned. Significant discrepancy in scores
defined in the assessment criteria for the relevant academic subject. The third expert is appointed by the chairman of the subject commission from among experts who have not previously checked the examination work. The third expert is provided with information about the scores assigned by the experts who previously checked the student’s examination work. The scores awarded by the third expert are final.”
A discrepancy of 10 or more points awarded by two experts for completing tasks 1 and 15 is considered significant (scores for all positions (criteria) for assessing the task are summed up
each expert: IC1–IC3, S1K1–S1K4, S2K1–S2K4, S3K1–S3K4, GK1–GK4, FC1). In this case, the third expert rechecks tasks 1 and 15 for all assessment positions. For completing the examination work, a mark is given on a five-point scale.
The mark “2” is given if the student scored no more than 14 points (from 0 to 14) for completing all parts of the examination work.
The mark “3” is given if the student scores no less than 15 and no more than 24 points (from 15 to 24) for completing all parts of the examination work.
The mark “4” is given if the student scores no less than 25 and no more than 33 points (from 25 to 33) for completing all parts of the examination work. In this case, the student must score at least 4 points for literacy (criteria GK1–GK4). If, according to the criteria of GK1–GK4, a student scores less than 4 points, a mark of “3” is given.
The mark “5” is given if the student scores no less than 34 and no more than 39 points (from 34 to 39) for completing all parts of the examination work. In this case, the student must score at least 6 points for literacy (criteria GK1–GK4). If, according to the criteria of GK1–GK4, a student scores less than 6 points, a mark of “4” is given.
