Serious approach. How to choose the right subjects for the exam

When a ninth-grader faces a choice of subjects for passing the OGE, the question arises - which subjects will be easier to prepare for?

In 2017, you need to take 4 subjects, and in 2018 - already 5. Of these, Russian and mathematics are mandatory, i.e. in any case, they will have to strengthen their preparation. Then the choice of subjects depends on whether you want to stay in school or go to college?

If you want to continue your studies at a prestigious college, then you should go to the Open Day and find out what subjects and what results are needed to enter. In this case, you have little choice - you have to prepare the necessary items. If you decide to stay in grades 10-11, you should think about which university you will go to after grade 11, and choose the right subjects and start preparing as early as 9 and try your hand at the OGE. This is ideal, of course.

What if you haven't chosen who to be yet? What if you just want to graduate from high school, and then come what may? In this case, you need to choose items easier.

We want to warn you right away that all school subjects are quite complex. And the concept of "lightness" of the OGE in any subject is rather arbitrary. For some, the OGE in computer science may seem like an easy exam, and for some, the OGE in chemistry. One recommendation can be made here. Choose subjects for which you have a strong teacher in your school. It will seem to you that it is very difficult to prepare, that the teacher demands a lot from you, that he is very strict, etc., but this is the price of success in the exam.

Item Overview

Social science

For some reason, many guys choose this subject and consider it easy. It's not like that at all. The amount of material is large, there are many tasks - there is a test part, and questions that need to be answered in writing, as well as a task with a detailed answer. In general, it is difficult to call the OGE in social science simple.

Chemistry

Traditionally, this subject is chosen by a few. The teachers themselves have created a myth that chemistry is very difficult. But we don't think so. Basically, the OGE tests knowledge of inorganic chemistry and the elementary basics of organic chemistry. If you prepare in good faith, then the OGE can be passed without any problems and with a good grade.

Literature

Many people think: "Well, it's easy to pass this subject." We want to upset you, this is one of the most voluminous and complex subjects in terms of execution. There are no tests for the OGE in literature. You must complete 4 assignments - 3 mini essays and 1 large full essay. That is, when preparing, you will need to read a lot and train a lot in writing essays.

Computer science

Many may have the wrong opinion that if you have good computer skills, then this will help you pass the OGE in computer science. This is far from true. To pass the OGE in Informatics, you need to have a good knowledge of programming languages, algorithms, flowcharts, logic, mathematics, etc. within the framework of the school curriculum. There are also tasks, theoretical questions, etc. at the OGE in Informatics. Passing this exam for a high score is quite difficult.

Geography

This subject deserves special attention. Many consider it insignificant and unnecessary, while the subject is very important and knowledge on it is required in many places. However, the exam itself is not easy. You need to be able to use maps, build azimuths, understand wind roses, read special maps, know the economy, etc. Preparation for this exam is difficult, but very interesting.

Physics

The exam is difficult. The abundance of tasks, theoretical questions, applied tasks, as well as laboratory work makes preparing for this exam difficult. It is not enough to know the subject, you also need to know mathematics, count in your mind, think logically, etc. Grades in this subject are traditionally low throughout the country.

Biology

This subject is needed for those who are going to enter medical schools and colleges. OGE in biology is not much different from the exam. The volume is large, there are many tasks, there are even tasks. It's hard to get a high score.

Foreign language

This subject should be chosen by those who have been studying it for a long time, communicate in networks in a foreign language, at home someone speaks a foreign language. The examination generally takes place in two stages - oral and written. It is difficult to pass it, especially the oral part. But the written side also causes difficulties.

Story

Dates, personalities, events - this is all about the OGE in history. The subject is difficult, and the exam even more so. A large amount of information, complex tasks make this subject the most unpopular. Giving up is hard, preparing too.

As a result, we can say with full confidence that the OGE in any subject will not be easy. It is difficult to do without preparing for the exam, because there is a high probability of simply not passing. You need to prepare for each subject, preparation should be daily. Preferably under the guidance of an experienced mentor - teacher or tutor.

Hello dear. In this article, I would like to talk about what exams are taken in the 11th grade and about the USE 2018, which soon all school graduates will have to take. And you don’t need to think that the article will turn out to be huge and it’s better to break it into 2 articles, no better. If you don’t need to read about what exams are taken in grade 11, but it’s interesting to read about the USE 2018 or USE 2019, then just scroll down to the sub-item, which is called that.

But I'll start with what exams to take, how to choose, how many to take and other things.

Choose, prepare, approach the issue thoughtfully and balancedly

If you answer strictly the question raised in the subparagraph, then I answer that since 2017 they have to pass the Russian language, mathematics and 1 more subject of their choice. Moreover, mathematics can be taken at the profile level, or you can take it at the basic level. If you successfully pass the exam, you will receive a certificate in any case, but not all universities can do basic mathematics.

If we deviate a little from the topic, then you need to think about the fact that the USE 2018, like the USE of other years, you pass not for the sake of obtaining a certificate, but in order to be able to continue your studies and choose a university. If you don’t want to study further, but want to work as a loader or a saleswoman in a stall that will not be demolished today or tomorrow, then, of course, you don’t need to think too much here. If you do not plan to enter anywhere, then take the following exams:

  1. Russian language.
  2. Basic level mathematics.
  3. The one that is easiest for you. I have no idea what this subject is, think for yourself and choose.

But this option is of interest to few people, so you need to think a little more broadly. Start with what class are you studying in - humanitarian or technical? This is a very important point, because if you endure 8 hours a week of mathematics and 6 of computer science or physics, and this does not cause a clear rejection for you, then you are clearly a techie and you need to enter a technical specialty. The same is true for the humanities.

It’s worse if you study in a technical class, but you already quietly hate mathematics, but you study Russian with literature with pleasure. In this case, obviously something went wrong and you should transfer to a humanitarian class. Again, the reverse is also true. Moreover, you should not put it off and think “come on, I’ll prepare for admission to an engineer here and learn.” It is very important to understand whether you are a techie or a humanist, because for a techie to study in a humanitarian direction at a university is just a terrible torment. It is easier for humanitarians, they will be expelled after the first session and that's it. Not because they won't be able to study, maybe they can, but they don't want to.

Okay, this is all poetry, back to the question of what exams are taken in the 11th grade. I repeat, the exams should be taken by those that you need for admission. If you want to study to be a programmer, for example, then you better forget it, then it is logical that in addition to the required subjects, you need to pass computer science. But do not be overly self-confident person, there are several points that can put an end to your desire to learn programming:

  1. You may not pass computer science and ICT for a score sufficient for admission. Of course, you can be the best programmer in the class, but it's easy to pass computer science with some miserable 50 points and safely fly by with admission.
  2. Someone can persuade you to enter another specialty. And this can happen, for example, in April, when nothing can be corrected.
  3. You can visit a university where programming is taught and see who is studying there. Beautiful people are simply not taken there or, if taken by mistake, they are quickly expelled. I myself studied at an IT university, so I know what I'm talking about :(.

This applies to a specific example, but the first 2 points are universal and will fit everywhere. In order to avoid this, you need to take more than 3 subjects at the USE 2018. If you are a techie, you should also know physics, so take it. But physics is a very difficult subject, and therefore it is worth thinking about what to pass such a humanitarian one? In my opinion, the most useful and simplest of the available subjects is social studies. It is simple for me personally, but I can fully justify its usefulness. For many years, social science has been the subject that allows you to enter a variety of specialties, and not always strictly humanitarian ones. If you don’t like social science, then think for yourself what you will take for the exam. Maybe geography, maybe chemistry, how should I know what is closer to you?

The main thing to remember is that it’s not worth taking 3 subjects, it’s better to play it safe and pass 4-5, at the same time prepare for the university, where you will have to take so many exams every semester.

I feel that the humanities were offended because I write little about them, but why rewrite the same thing here, changing computer science to social science, and social science to biology? I'm not urging everyone to donate certain subjects together, I'm just giving material for thought. And in general, for the humanities, I already wrote an article about that, it will also be useful to read it.

USE 2018, what else can I say ...

Everything, with the point which exams are passed in the 11th grade, we finished, now let's talk about the USE 2018.

I'll start with the good news: math, history, and biology exams haven't changed. That is, the number of tasks, the level of difficulty, everything remained at the same level as before. The rest of the exams have changed, but it seems to be not so critical, now I will give out a list of all the changes that I found:

  1. English language. The changes seem to be even positive, since now there should not be disputes whether this is right or not, everything should be strictly described.
  2. Social science. As the most popular subject, in the Unified State Exam 2018, he ... practically did not undergo any changes. Only tasks with a detailed answer began to be valued more, respectively, the rest a little less, and now you need to get used to writing detailed answers in a slightly different way, in accordance with the new requirements.
  3. Literature. They say that the changes in the USE 2018 are very serious. I will not be able to rewrite all these changes in my own words, so all those who want to take literature, refer to other sources.
  4. Russian language. A whole one task has been added that will test your knowledge of lexical norms, and not just the rules of the Russian language. But do not rush to rejoice, the rest of the tasks should also become more difficult.
  5. Physics. Added interesting tasks that will make the exam even more interesting. Still, I will steal a couple of sentences from another site to show you the full depth of the depths: “Now in the Unified State Examination in Physics in 2018, you may come across such topics as “Humidification performance”, the basics of SRT, “The law of conservation of electric charge”, “Capacitor”. Be careful, because most training manuals have not yet included them, and without this it is simply impossible to get the desired score.” © Chalk.
  6. Chemistry. A new task has been added, one old one has been changed. There is nothing critical.

So, everything seems to be.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the USE is not at all something to be afraid of, you just need to prepare for this exam and everything will be fine. And don't forget to choose more exams, just in case.

update last year's article

Here, not so long ago, Denis asked to expand the article and add information about what awaits in 2019. I promised to do this, and it’s better to keep promises, so I’ll write about the USE 2019 now.

But then it turned out that there is already an article about it, you can read it by clicking on the link. But, since instead of just giving a link to the article, I promised to expand this article, I will have to steal from myself and transfer the essence of the article here, leaving water in a full-fledged article.

So, on the official website there was information that the exam will be held in 3 stages and the dates of these stages appeared, I suggest you familiarize yourself with them:

  • Early stage - from March 20 to April 10, 2019,
  • The main stage - from May 27 to July 1, 2019,
  • Additional stage - from 3 to 20 September 2019.

Now you can move on to the question of what will be new at the USE in 2019. There will not be too much new, but there are points worth paying attention to:

The moment number one is the inability to take mathematics at the same time at the basic and profile levels. As it turned out, schoolchildren were very fond of taking mathematics at both levels, so that they would have at least some result and could get a certificate. And even to enter, but not for all specialties. Now you will need to choose what you need, to be a bespanty humanist who does not know mathematics, physics and computer science, or to become the right person with a higher technical education 😆

Okay, these are all jokes, the humanities are also necessary for society, probably ... So, now seriously. In the event that you cannot pass mathematics at the profile level, you can retake it at the same USE 2019 and there you can already choose basic mathematics.

We are moving from mathematics to computer science and ICT. If earlier, when passing the exam in computer science, they used a pen and a piece of paper, now it will be possible to take this exam on a PC. Which, in my opinion, is correct and logical.

And the last news, which this time does not concern people with a technical mindset. Now it will be possible to choose another foreign language for passing the exam. In addition to the traditional English, French and German languages, for the first time, Chinese will be available. I fully support this initiative. After all, it is China that has the largest population on the planet and shares a border with Russia.

In general, everything related to the changes in the exam, which will be in 2019, I wrote. If you want to know about the answers to the USE 2019, follow the link that was at the beginning of the article and read.

Peace for everyone!

What can be used on the exam? Let's figure it out.
You must take it with you to the exam passport!

A mobile phone cannot be used on the exam. Mobile devices are handed over at the entrance to the classroom. If you are suddenly noticed at the exam with a mobile (with a book, with a notebook ...) - they will remove you from the exam. The results will be cancelled.

At the exam in mathematics you take with you pens (black gel) and a ruler. It turns out that many graduates do not know: you can use the ruler on the exam in mathematics! But you can’t take a compass (it’s logical: what if someone uses it as a melee weapon?). And therefore, preparing for the exam in mathematics, learn to draw circles by hand. At first, they will look like potatoes with sprouts, but each time they will get better.

In the version of the basic exam in mathematics, you will have the necessary reference material. The main thing is to know in advance how to use it.

In the version of the profile exam in mathematics, there is also a "reference material" - in the form of 5 trigonometry formulas. Of course, this is not enough to solve problems! We hope that by the time you pass the exam, you will have learned more than the pathetic 5 formulas!

Should I take cheat sheets for the exam? Risky. Although one schoolboy from Kazakhstan made a cheat sheet 11 meters long and was even able to use it, after which he got into the Guinness Book of Records. But not everyone is so lucky, and most likely not getting into the book of records, but deletion from the exam.

But it makes sense before the exam to make yourself an ideal cheat sheet. Arrange on a sheet of paper, for example, all the necessary geometry formulas. While you are writing them, arranging them, making drawings for them, you remember the material perfectly. First, check the textbook. Then - from memory. After that, you can safely leave this work of art at home, because you already remember everything.

At the exam in physics you can (and should) take a non-programmable calculator with you. This is a calculator "with functions" - allowing, in addition to arithmetic, to calculate the sine, tangent, logarithm, square root and much more.

When are you preparing for the exam? physics Please use this calculator. No need to replace it with your mobile phone! Because you won’t take a mobile to the exam.

At the exam in chemistry You can also bring a calculator. And they will also give you: the periodic table (it replaces a dozen cheat sheets!), the solubility table, the electrochemical series of metal voltages. If you skillfully use this wealth, you can perfectly pass the exam in chemistry.

At the exam in geography- you can take a calculator, a ruler and a protractor.

On the exam in other subjects, except for the pen, you do not need to take anything.

Can you take food with you? It turns out not. Do you know why the exam does not last 4 hours, but 3 hours and 55 minutes? Because it is believed that in 4 hours you will get hungry, and you will need to be fed, such a rule. And 3 hours and 55 minutes you can live without eating. Therefore, neither a sandwich, nor pizza, nor nuts can be brought.

Please have breakfast before the exam at home! Only not cucumbers with milk! You don't need to drink a lot of coffee either. Coffee in excess can cause drowsiness and at the same time is a diuretic.

You can bring water to the exam if there is no cooler or water bottles in the classroom where the exam is held.

You can bring food with you to the exam in the GVE form.

What else do students take with them to the exam? Why don't they just take it! But you don't have to. Once there was a message on the news that one girl took a snake with her to the exam in Russian. During the exam, I already crawled out, frightened the applicants and observers, panic began, I was already crawling, everyone was screaming and trying to escape, then a detachment of the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived. The reptile has died. The girl explained her action by the fact that the snake was bored alone at home. This, of course, is creative, but cruel to the snake and to classmates.

Good luck on the exam!

Tell your friends!

Students must select subjects for passing the exam before February 1, 2018. It's time to decide on the disciplines or to consider the choice already made: there is still time to change the decision. You can add a subject to the application for passing the exam until February 1, 2018.

Sometimes high school students cannot choose their future profession, so they follow the advice of their parents, teachers and acquaintances. Some go with the flow and enter the same specialty as friends. Such situations turn into the fact that a person devotes at least four years of time, effort and resources to a direction in which there is no ability and interest. Approach to the choice of subjects for the exam, and hence the training of the future profession, must be conscious. If you don’t have a dream or a clear idea of ​​where you see yourself in five or ten years, don’t be discouraged, but try to make an informed decision. We have put together some tips for students and graduates that will help in choosing subjects for the exam.

First step: introspection

At the first stage, you need to conduct a deep introspection, for this, answer the following questions:

– What field of science or what disciplines do I like?

- In what area would I be interested in developing?

What kind of working conditions would I like?

- What level of remuneration will suit me in the future?

- What abilities, abilities and talents do I have?

– In what area can these opportunities and talents be realized?

These simple questions will help analyze the wishes for the future specialty and objectively compare them with your capabilities.

Second step: choosing a direction

After the graduate has decided on the area of ​​interest, his capabilities and desired working conditions, you can begin to choose the direction of study. So you can narrow down the number of options for admission and decide on the disciplines in which it is worth starting intensive preparation for passing the exam.

The unified state exam is held in 14 subjects: two of them must be taken - Russian and basic mathematics (if you are not going to take the profile). The remaining disciplines are optional, they are necessary for admission in a certain profile to a university:

  • For the physical and mathematical direction, physics and specialized mathematics are needed.
  • For the natural sciences - chemistry, biology, specialized mathematics.
  • For the medical direction - chemistry, biology, Russian.
  • For the humanitarian profile - Russian language, literature, history, foreign languages.
  • For social sciences - Russian language, history, social studies, foreign languages.
  • The profile "Education and Pedagogy" requires the results of exams in the Russian language, profile mathematics, social studies and the Unified State Examination in the profile.
  • For the direction "Culture and Art" you need literature, Russian, a creative entrance exam in the profile.
  • For the profile "Economics and Management" you will need to pass profile mathematics, social studies, a foreign language.
  • For "Service and Tourism" - Russian, history, English.
  • For computer science and computer technology - Russian, specialized mathematics, computer science.
  • The direction of "Earth Sciences" is available for those who pass profile mathematics, Russian, physics, geography.
  • For the direction "Geology, exploration and development of minerals" you will need specialized mathematics, Russian, physics, computer science.

We have listed only a few areas of preparation and approximate options for exams that you will need to pass for each profile. Information about entrance exams should be found on the website or in the admissions office of the selected educational institution. Some universities conduct their own entrance examinations, which will require additional preparation.

Third step: labor market research

After introspection and choice of direction, several options will appear that you have identified for yourself as a future profession. At this stage, you should find out:

– Are these specialties relevant: are they in demand on the labor market, are they in demand in the country of residence, what is written about them in forecasts about the future of professions.

– What working conditions and remuneration, guarantees and bonuses are provided to specialists in this professional field.

This small study of the labor market will allow us to weed out professions that have lost their relevance, in which there are already too many specialists. Also at this stage, you can determine whether the proposed working conditions are suitable and whether the salary level matches your ambitions.

Fourth step: choosing an educational institution

After two stages of selection, the list of desired professions has narrowed, so it's time to consider educational institutions that teach in the specialties of interest.

Attend an open day at a university you like - this will help determine if you would like to spend at least four years of your life within the walls of this educational institution. At such an event, you can get acquainted with teachers, students, see the educational institution from the inside, learn about the quality of education and student extracurricular life. It is useful to study the feedback of graduates, contact them on social networks - this will help to find out their opinion about the learning process and its results. The main thing is to interview several people: the point of view of one graduate may be fundamentally different from the views of another, the more opinions, the more complete the picture.

So, in order to make a conscious, balanced choice of a future profession, you need to follow three simple tips:

  1. Have an honest conversation with yourself: identify true desires and preferences, compare them with your mental, physical and material capabilities.
  2. Decide on the direction of your future professional activity.
  3. Study the labor market: learn more about the professions that you have identified after the second stage.
  4. Choose a university or college: get to know the educational institution and its graduates in more detail.

And, of course, it is difficult to enter a dream university without high results, which.

Work takes up a third of life: it is important that it brings pleasure and contributes to self-development, so choose the direction of study and subjects for exams wisely!

Instruction

At the end, all students pass the final state certification, in other words, they pass exams. In total, students will have to pass at least 4 exams, mathematics and Russian are mandatory among them, and the rest of the student chooses independently from the entire list of subjects that he studies at school. Among these subjects, you can choose an exam, geography, history, foreign languages ​​\u200b\u200b(English, German, French and), physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and information technology.

In addition, all students are required to take mathematics and Russian after grade 9 in the GIA format - final tests and assignments that are conducted as a single exam for all Russian students. How to take the rest of the subjects, the student decides for himself: you can choose the GIA or take the exam at your school in the usual form, for example, by tickets or in the form of a written exam, project, and so on.

Sometimes the school itself encourages its students to take the GIA in other subjects, or explains that they do not have to do this. Whether or not to choose a GIA in other subjects also depends on whether the student remains at school after grade 9. If not, then he may need the results of the GIA to enter a college or school. In this case, you need to choose those subjects that are profile in these educational institutions. When transferring to another school, GIA results in all subjects are also sometimes required.

Sometimes schools of a certain profile may assign students an additional exam, then students have to take three required subjects and two or one elective. The total number of exams for 9th grade students should not exceed five.

note

Apply for exams in the form of GIA and indicate the number of these exams should be before March 1 of the current year. It will no longer be possible to make changes to the application later.

The winners of the All-Russian Olympiads are exempted from taking the exam on the subject of the Olympiad.

If the student does not pass at least one of the compulsory subjects, he will not be issued a certificate of completion of grade 9. However, he can try his luck a second time this year and retake the exam in a few days. If this attempt fails, such a student can only be issued a certificate of completion of grade 9. Neither the 10th grade nor the college will take such a student. He will have two choices - either stay at school for the second year and re-take the 9th grade program, or leave the educational institution, prepare on his own and retake the exams next year.

Related article

In order to obtain a certificate of primary secondary education, all schoolchildren take exams after grade 9. This form of control helps to identify the preparation of schoolchildren, to determine their level of knowledge.

Instruction

Exams are an important step in the education of every student. After receiving a certificate, a teenager can decide whether he wants to continue his education at school or a secondary specialized institution, or is already ready to go to work. Education after that becomes optional for every citizen of Russia, so students should take seriously the preparation for this form of certification. In addition, the school management also carefully studies the progress and scores of students after grade 9 in order to decide which of them should be taken to grades 10-11.

Each student of grade 9 at the end of the year must pass at least 4 exams, and in lyceums and gymnasiums, schools with in-depth study of subjects, a fifth exam in a profile discipline is often added. At the same time, there are compulsory subjects for all schoolchildren - these are Russian and mathematics, as well as elective subjects - here students can take any disciplines from the list of subjects studied at school.

Russian language and mathematics are given by students in the form of GIA - the state final certification. This delivery format is the same for all students and includes written assignments with a choice of answers or the student's own answer. They pass all over the country on strictly agreed dates, each exam has several options for KIMs - control and measuring materials, so that students do not know which option they will get on the exam. After passing the exam, the answer forms are sent for verification, so the results become known only after a few days.

Other items can be taken in the GIA form, but this is not necessary. Most schoolchildren still prefer to take elective subjects at their home school to their teachers on tickets. However, there are cases when all exams must be taken in the GIA format, for example, when a student leaves school and enters a technical school or college, a creative or. These educational institutions require results not only in mathematics and Russian, but also in their core subjects.

The GIA must also be taken upon admission to 10 of some gymnasiums and lyceums. So these schools check the level of their students and select the best students. However, in the near future we should expect that such exams will become mandatory in other subjects. And although they imply more stress for schoolchildren than testing knowledge in the usual form, it is the GIA form that allows you to best prepare for the exam and find out what awaits schoolchildren at the end of grade 11.

Tip 3: What subjects will be in grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: list 2018-2019

In high school, with the transition to almost every class, students have new subjects to study. The main disciplines are mandatory for study, they are the same in all schools, which cannot be said about additional ones.

Preparing for the new school year is a rather troublesome process, because you need to purchase a lot of stationery for it, as well as a new uniform, backpack, tracksuit, and more. However, this process is troublesome only for parents, because they are trying to buy good quality clothes and stationery for their children for reasonable money. Most middle school children, however, do not particularly look at the prices of goods and their quality, for them the primary appearance of new outfits and accessories is much more important, prints and emblems on clothes and other school purchases are especially important. However, if parents and children have different opinions about the choice of certain things, then there is one question that equally worries both of them - what new subjects will be at school in the new academic year.

During the transition to the fifth grade, students have a lot of new subjects, it becomes much more difficult to study. If in the fourth grade there were 9-10 subjects, then in the fifth there are 16 of them: mathematics, Russian language, literature, history, social science, biology, geography, computer science, foreign language, life safety, physical education, fine arts, logic, technology, music and ODKNR. The sixth grade differs in the number of subjects from the fifth - there are fewer disciplines - no new ones are added, but the ODKNR and logic "leave".

From the seventh grade, students are offered to study such additional subjects as geometry (mathematics is divided into algebra and geometry), physics, ecology, local history and an elective energy saving course.

In the eighth grade, chemistry appears in the school curriculum, art is replaced by drawing. As for the ninth grade, in the last year of secondary school, the list of disciplines is as follows: Russian language, literature, physical education, algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, foreign language, social science, computer science, biology, geography, technology, life safety, history, biology. In many gymnasiums and lyceums, local history and drawing lessons in the ninth grade are replaced by additional hours of preparation for exams.
