Exam in literature what is included. What questions most often arise for those who get acquainted with a new model? Structure of KIM Unified State Examination


home
Passing the Unified State Exam changes from year to year - changes are constantly being made to the testing and measuring materials. This makes both future graduates and their teachers nervous. What should you prepare for if you still don’t know what and how you will have to take at the end of the school year? However, the situation has changed for the better: by the beginning of the school year, the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements announced planned changes in the Unified State Examination 2017 in all subjects. What will they be like?
Required subjects for the Unified State Exam 2017 The topic that perhaps most worried future school graduates was the possible introduction of a third compulsory subject on the Unified State Exam. The most possible “candidates” were named various items
– from history to physics.
  • However, all significant innovations in the Unified State Exam 2017 should have been announced on the official FIPI website before the start of the academic year and, of course, reflected in the draft exam schedule. But there was no official news about the “third compulsory” at the beginning of the school year. Therefore, eleventh graders can breathe a sigh of relief: the list of compulsory subjects for the Unified State Exam 2017 does not change, there are still two of them:
  • Russian language (the results of which are taken into account when entering all universities in the country without exception); mathematics – basic or profile level
to choose from.
Nevertheless, the issue of a third compulsory exam continues to be discussed - but, as representatives of the Ministry of Education assured, a decision will be made only after public discussion. And this will not happen “right now”.
Unified State Examination in Russian Language - 2017: changes in individual tasks
The structure of the Russian language task will remain unchanged: a block of tasks with short answers and an essay analyzing the problems posed in the journalistic or artistic text proposed to the examinee. There is no word yet on the appearance of the oral part of speech. In the future, “speaking” may appear in the Unified State Exam in Russian, but representatives of the Ministry of Education stipulated that this technology will be preliminary “tested” at the Unified State Exam in ninth grade.
  • in task No. 17 (punctuation in sentences including isolated constructions) will be presented not only introductory words, but also appeals;
  • In task No. 22 (lexical analysis of a word in context), examinees previously had to find in a given fragment only one word or expression (for example, a phraseological phrase) that met the criteria of the task. Now the task becomes more complicated: from several “suitable” lexical units you will have to choose the one that most accurately meets the conditions of the task.
  • in task 23 (write down the numbers of sentences related to the previous ones in a certain way), both one and several correct answers are now possible. That is, the student needs to find all such sentences in the passage and enter either one or several numbers in the form.
Unified State Exam in Mathematics -2017: profile and basic exam without changes

The Unified State Exam in mathematics remains divided into two levels:
a relatively simple basic exam graded on a five-point scale, which mainly tests knowledge in the field of so-called “real mathematics” and the results of which are not accepted for admission to a university and are needed only for obtaining a certificate;
specialized - much more complex, aimed at those graduates who plan to enter technical universities, where mathematics is compulsory subject for admission.
According to official data published on the FIPI website, no changes are planned in any of the exams compared to 2016. However, students who have chosen a specialized level, when preparing for the Unified State Exam in mathematics, should keep in mind that the authors of the exam have taken a course to counteract “training” in solving problems of a certain type. And tasks of increased complexity may turn out to be non-standard: not beyond the scope school course, but requiring “mathematical ingenuity.”
In 2016, the presence of problems in the versions that differed in the solution algorithm from the options presented in the demo versions came as a surprise to many and caused protests and demands to reconsider the results. However, the developers of the exam made their position quite clear: one of the main functions of the Unified State Exam is the differentiation of students by level of knowledge, and schoolchildren who have perfectly mastered the full school course of mathematics are more prepared to study the subject at the university level and should have advantages over those who have simply trained to solve problems of a given type. So, most likely, “non-standard” mathematics tasks in 2017 will also be included in KIMs.
Unified State Exam in Social Studies: minor changes in structure
The USE in social studies in 2017 will generally correspond to the 2016 model:
block of tasks with short answers;
a block of tasks with detailed answers;
An “alternative” task is to write an essay on the topic of one of the proposed statements.
However, minor changes are planned in the block of short answer tasks. The task that appeared in the 2016 KIMs under number 19 (differentiation of facts, opinions and value judgments) will be excluded from it. But there will be one more task for the “law” module: to choose from correct judgments from the lists, which will be the seventeenth in a row.
Total number of tasks and maximum primary score in the exam in the most popular elective subject will remain unchanged.
Unified State Exam in Physics 2017: significant changes, exclusion of the test part
The Unified State Exam in Physics in 2017 will be one of the three subjects that has undergone the most significant changes: the test part, which involves choosing one correct answer from a list of options, is completely excluded from the structure of the exam. Instead, the range of tasks with short answers (in the form of a word, number or sequence of numbers) will be significantly expanded. At the same time, the distribution of tasks across sections of the school course will remain approximately the same as in previous years. In total, the first block of the exam will have 21 questions:
7 – in mechanics,
5 – on thermodynamics and MCT,
6 – on electrodynamics,
3 – in quantum physics.
Second part exam paper(tasks with detailed answers) will remain unchanged. The primary score on the Unified State Exam in Physics will also remain at the level of last year.
Unified State Examination in Literature -2017: structure unchanged, but more questions on knowledge of the text
By 2018 year of the Unified State Exam In literature, drastic changes are expected: FIPI plans to completely eliminate the block of tasks with short answers, leaving only four mini-essays and one full-length one. But in 2017, the literature exam will be held according to the old, already familiar model:
  • the first semantic block is an excerpt from an epic or dramatic work, 7 questions with short answers and two mini-essays on it;
  • the second block is a lyrical work, 5 questions about it with short answers and two mini-essays;
  • the third is an extended essay (choice of three topics).
However, if in 2016 most questions with short answers were aimed primarily at testing knowledge of basic literary terms, then in 2017 these tasks will be aimed primarily at knowledge of the realities of the text. Thus, it will no longer be possible to “cross the threshold” only by knowing a small amount of theory.
You should pay attention to one more feature of the literature exam. In accordance with the rules, KIMs can include not only poems included in the school curriculum. If a poet is included in the codifier, any of his poems can be offered for analysis. And this is legitimate - since mini-essays on a poetic passage should demonstrate the examinee’s ability to analyze the text independently, and not remember the corresponding paragraph of the textbook. In 2016, “non-program” poems appeared in many versions of KIMs, and, most likely, this trend will continue in 2017.

Unified State Examination in Biology - radical changes in 2017, exclusion of the test part and increase in duration
The model of the Unified State Exam in biology in 2017 will change fundamentally: the “test” component (questions with the choice of one correct answer from four proposed options) will be completely excluded from the task, but the number of tasks with short answers will be increased.
The test materials will contain fundamentally new types of tasks for the Unified State Examination in Biology, including:
restoration of missing elements in tables or diagrams;
analysis of graphs, charts and tables;
searching for errors in the notation in the figure;
inferring the properties of a biological object from a “blind” image (without captions).
However, the developers of the exam believe that the updated Unified State Exam in biology will not cause significant difficulties for students: many types of tasks have already been tested on the Unified State Exam. The number of tasks with detailed answers will not change - there will still be seven of them, and the types of questions will correspond to the 2016 model.
Changing the structure of the exam will entail a number of changes in the procedure and grading scale:
the total number of tasks will decrease from 40 to 28;
the primary score is reduced to 59 (in 2017 it was 61);
The time to complete the work is increased by half an hour, the duration of the exam will be 210 minutes.
Unified State Examination in a foreign language – practically unchanged
Unified State Examination foreign languages in 2017 will take place almost the same as in 2016, with only one exception. The wording of task No. 3 in the oral part of the exam (picture description) will be changed. As FIPI experts note, when describing images, examinees sometimes abuse “imaginary circumstances,” claiming, for example, that their relatives (including wives and children) or themselves are depicted here (“I’m an astronaut and I’m floating in zero gravity”). This conflicts with the purpose of this task, which tests the ability to fully and accurately describe a specific photograph.
Therefore, the task will be clarified. So, in the Unified State Exam English language in 2017, the word Imagine is excluded from the wording, and the word present is changed to describe. Similar changes will be made to KIMs for other foreign languages ​​- so that it is clear that we are talking specifically about describing a picture, and not a “story based on it.”
Unified State Exam in Chemistry 2017: significant changes, exclusion of the test part
The 2017 Unified State Exam model in chemistry will also undergo significant changes associated with the elimination of the test part - and an increase in the number and types of tasks with short answers. Among them there will be, for example:
tasks with choosing two correct options from several proposed ones,
compliance questions,
calculation tasks.
The structure of the first part of the exam will also change: it will include several thematic blocks dedicated to one of the sections - and each block will contain tasks from both basic and higher level difficulties. The second part of the exam paper (tasks with detailed answers) will remain almost the same as in previous years.
Wherein:
the total number of tasks will decrease from 40 to 34;
the maximum primary score will decrease from 64 to 60;
tasks No. 9 and 17 (relationship of organic and inorganic substances) will no longer be assessed with one primary point, but with two.
Unified State Examination in History - minor changes in the assessment system
In 2017, the history exam will be almost completely identical to last year's options. However, there will be changes in the assessment system: the “cost” of two tasks will increase from one initial point to two:
task No. 3 (selection of terms relating to a specific historical period);
task No. 8 (selecting missing expressions from the list of proposed options).
In addition, the wording and evaluation criteria for assignment No. 25 (an essay devoted to one of the historical periods) will be clarified.
Unified State Examination in computer science and ICT in 2017 – without computers, no changes
Structure and technology conducting the Unified State Exam in Computer Science and ICT in 2017 will be fully consistent with the 2016 examination model. Not there is talk and about the use of computers by examinees - although this idea (taking into account the specifics of the subject - absolutely logical) is actively discussed, this year’s graduates will again have to work with traditional forms.
When preparing for the exam, you should not lose sight of some features of the test materials:
task No. 27 is given in two versions, one of which is simpler and is worth 2 points, the second – 4;
To write the program in task 27, you can use any programming language of the examinee’s choice.
Unified State Exam in Geography: minor changes in the assessment system
No adjustments will be made to the control and measurement materials on geography in 2017, but the “weight” individual tasks will change: maximum score for four tasks it will be increased, and for another four tasks it will be reduced.
Thus, the cost of tasks Nos. 3, 11, 14 and 15 will increase from one primary point to two (all - for identification and selection from a list of correct statements).
The following tasks were reduced from two points to one:
9 (location of the population of Russia, working with a map),
12 (distinguishing between true and false statements about urban and rural populations);
13 (geography of transport, industries and Agriculture Russia);
19 (export and international transport).
The maximum primary score remained unchanged – 47.
Official information about changes in the Unified State Examination 2017
All official documents, related to passing the Unified State Exam, are promptly published on the website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). There is also a summary table of changes, however, in order to get a complete impression of the “new trends” in the examination company, this is not enough - the information in the table is given very concisely and concerns only fundamental changes.
To keep up to date with all the details passing the Unified State Exam in 2017 “first-hand”, you can also:
  • get acquainted with the projects of the KIM Unified State Exam of the current year and carefully study the structure of the examination paper;
  • study guidelines for teachers, compiled based on the results of 2016 - they are analyzed in detail typical mistakes last year’s graduates and “chew on” and justify the planned changes.

03.02.2017

FIPI published a new CIM model based on the literature for public discussion. Comments and suggestions will be accepted until the end of March 2017 at This address Email protected from spam bots. You must have JavaScript enabled to view it.

Changes:

1. Short answer tasks excluded

Short answer tasks are aimed mainly at testing knowledge of terminology and the content of works. As statistics show, they do not pose any difficulty for examinees and do not play a decisive role in dividing examinees by level of educational preparation. The KIM includes only tasks with a detailed answer, which take on the functions of tasks with a short answer.

2. The number of tasks of the student’s choice has been increased

The total number of tasks with a detailed answer has not been increased: the examinee writes 4 detailed answers of limited length and 1 essay. In Part 1, the first two tasks for a fragment of an epic (lyric-epic, dramatic) work and the first two tasks for a lyrical work became alternative. In Part 2 (essay), the number of alternative topics has been increased from three to four. Order of essay topics various types varies taking into account the genre and gender diversity of literary material and literary era.

3. Comparison tasks have been simplified

The source text should be compared not with two works, but with one. No justification for choosing an example for comparison is required.

4. The scope of answers to the tasks of part 1 has been clarified. The requirements for the length of the essay have been increased.

Part 1. The volume of answers is indicated in words (previously - in sentences): examinees are recommended to have a volume of at least 50 words (previously 5-10 sentences); If the answer contains less than 40 words, then such work is considered uncompleted and is scored 0 points. Part 2 (essay). Volume requirements have been increased: examinees are recommended to have a volume of at least 250 words (from 200); if the essay contains less than 200 words (it was 150), then such work is graded 0 points.

5. The criteria for evaluating detailed answers have been improved

The changes are aimed at increasing the objectivity of assessment of examination work: the algorithm of the expert’s actions when assessing detailed answers has been simplified different types; greater transparency has been ensured in the formation of assessments for individual tasks and the work as a whole (for the expert and the examinee);

The topic that perhaps most worried future school graduates was the possible introduction of a third compulsory subject on the Unified State Exam. A variety of subjects were mentioned as possible “candidates” – from history to physics.


However, all significant innovations in the Unified State Exam 2017 should have been announced on the official FIPI website before the start of the academic year and, of course, reflected in the draft exam schedule. But there is no official news about the “third compulsory” at the beginning of the school year. Therefore, eleventh graders can breathe a sigh of relief: the list of compulsory subjects for the Unified State Exam 2017 does not change, there are still two of them:

  • mathematics– basic or profile level to choose from.

Nevertheless, the issue of a third compulsory exam continues to be discussed - but, as representatives of the Ministry of Education assured, a decision will be made only after public discussion. And this will not happen “right now”.

Official information about changes in the Unified State Examination 2017

All official documents related to passing the Unified State Exam are promptly published on the website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). There is also a summary of changes, however, in order to get a complete impression of the “new trends” in the examination company, this is not enough - the information in the table is given very concisely and concerns only fundamental changes.


In order to be aware of all the details of passing the Unified State Exam in 2017 “first-hand”, you can also:



  • get acquainted with the KIM Unified State Exam projects current year and carefully study the structure of the examination paper;


  • study guidelines for teachers, compiled based on the results of 2016 - they analyze in detail the typical mistakes of last year’s graduates and “chew on” and justify the planned changes.

The Minister of Education announced what changes will be made to the Unified State Examination in literature. By 2018, Russian eleventh-graders who chose the final exam in their native literature will take it in a new way. Both the content of the final certification in the subject and the form of this test will change, this was discussed at the last press conference in Moscow.

Firstly, there will be no more elementary test tasks, the so-called “guessing games”. According to FIPI leading specialist Sergei Zinin, to test tasks Schools have long been accustomed to it. These already traditional trainings are carried out automatically and absolutely do not teach children to think for themselves. In the old exam format, after four short answers to tasks on one or another literary fragment, one had to write a full-fledged essay as a detailed and reasoned answer, an opinion about some problem.

The new format of the Unified State Exam in Literature offers more opportunities for independent reasoning and creativity. The graduate is asked to choose one of several questions, as well as the method and style of his essay. The text of the work may look like an article by a literary critic, or it may be a response from the reader, in which the emphasis is on the emotional personal perception of the read fragment.

As an expert from FIPI explained, a student has the opportunity to build his reasoning both from particulars to general provisions, and vice versa - from general statements to particulars. The main task is to ensure that the content creative work reflected the student’s understanding of the meaning of the analyzed text, as well as the ability to come to their own conclusions using independently selected argumentation.

Dmitry Bak, a professor at the University of the Humanities, a famous scientist who heads the State Literary Museum, also took part in the discussion. In his opinion, the study of such a subject as fiction hinders not only the common for Unified State Exam problem substitution educational process control measures, but also a deeper point - a lack of understanding of the true essence of this type of art. After all, works of art, according to the professor, require a deeper, emotional experience. They cannot be analyzed using the tools of formal logic. This practice of forming universal criteria for evaluation literary text will never be able to teach a schoolchild to understand and love literature; it can only instill a feeling of rejection and hostility towards this type of reading.

And Honored Teacher of Russia Evgenia Abelyuk, Associate Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, in her speech especially noted that, although the updated format of the state exam in literature has its merits, it still leaves much to be desired. The requirement to quickly compose three essays, albeit of a small size, is quite difficult to fulfill. To do this, you need the ability to quickly concentrate your attention on new topic, as well as formulate your thoughts as succinctly and accurately as possible.

In a text of two hundred and fifty words, it is necessary to fit both sufficient arguments and details from the works, reflecting certain conflicts of the plot. Textile work of art woven from a thousand subtle details, a tiny detail can acquire a special symbolic meaning, be filled with fatal meaning. And in schools, teachers barely have time to teach children to give even a brief answer to the questions posed.

At the same time, the honored teacher noted that she is personally pleased with the ability of modern schoolchildren to analyze literature that was not previously included in the scope school curriculum. This expansion of the framework, the opportunity to choose, is an incentive for students to learn to think independently, without which it is impossible to imagine a modern, truly educated person.

The media provides individual examples from the test materials of the state exam in its new format.

  • It is required to name a work that describes the moral world of a typical official, and compare it with how he is depicted in Gogol’s “The Inspector General”.
