Real options for the Russian language exam. Materials for preparing for the exam in the Russian language

At the end of May, 11th grade graduates will face a rather difficult test - USE in Russian language 2017. This exam is considered mandatory, the same as mathematics, so everyone will have to take it without exception. To date, the main task for eleventh graders is timely preparation for the test so that the certificate is not spoiled by a bad grade. In addition, a high score for the Unified State Examination in the Russian language opens the door to the most prestigious universities in the country for the future applicant.

Most students, assuming that tests in the Russian language are not as difficult as mathematics or physics, are completely unprepared for the subject and, as a result, receive insufficient high scores. It must be remembered that the exam covers not only materials for grade 11, but also topics from previous years of study. In addition, the exam includes such tasks that require extraordinary thinking. As you can see, the Russian language is not such an easy subject, and given the future, predicted for 2017, it will become even more difficult.

What should be prepared for?

The fact that tests in the Russian language are waiting for a number of innovations has been said more than once. For years scientists and teachers developed an optimal knowledge testing system that could reflect the real knowledge of students. In 2017, the Unified State Examination in the Russian language is planned to introduce oral part. This has already been stated by Lyudmila Verbitskaya (head Russian Academy education).

At this stage, all the necessary transformations have already been developed. It remains only to understand how to rationally use them in this.

Until 2017, all students of general education schools took the Russian language in writing. The test form that was in the forms is, of course, a good thing, but it is not able to reflect the real knowledge of graduates, because they can simply guess the answer. But what about punctuation or spelling? Tests are not able to thoroughly show the literacy of the student.

The oral exam will help to identify gaps in knowledge, the ability to accurately express one's thoughts, put sentences out of words and lead a narrative that is understandable to examiners.

In our time, the correct staging of speech is extremely important, especially in sectors of the economy. Any leader should be able to formulate tasks for subordinates, be able to express thoughts and convey their ideas to others. Just for this, every student must learn spelling, as well as learn the basics of oratory.

The oral block is far from all the changes that await the Russian language exam. In the upcoming 2017, officials intend to introduce a grading system for a control essay. Recall that at the moment, for the manifestation of creative abilities and the ability to logically build their own thoughts, the student received simply “pass” or “fail”.

Lyudmila Verbitskaya considers this an unfair approach, especially for those students who can show the level of their knowledge through an essay. Only the introduction of a clear assessment scale will help to clearly recognize the level of preparedness of the student and form a clear objective view of the exam.

Dates

Early exams will begin on May 25, 2017. Just during this period, eleventh-graders will be able to pass the Russian language. The main tests are scheduled for May 30. Retake for those who “flunked” the subject or want to increase their grade, there will be an opportunity to take the second exam on June 27th. The reserve days are April 15 and September 24.

Conducting the exam in the Russian language

To cope with all the tasks, students are given an hour. In the allotted time, it is necessary to solve all two blocks, which include 24 questions. The first block consists of questions that must be answered numerically or verbally. On the second form, students must write an essay on a given topic.

Evaluation scale

Back in 2015, for this test, you could get a “pass / fail”. Since 2016, points have appeared, the amount of which depended on the number of correct answers. From the table below, you can find out the exact number of points that you can get for a particular question.

The second part of the exam requires the student to show creativity and fluency in Russian. Note that essays are evaluated in a special way, so the examiner will not be surprised by grammar alone.

For a correctly completed second part of the exam, the student can earn 25 points. In general, for two blocks, the graduate will earn 57 points, to which points are added according to other criteria. Given that the knowledge assessment system is 100 points, in order to understand what grade a student has earned, it is enough to refer to this scheme:

• 0 - 24 - "two"
• 25 - 57 - "troika"
• 58 - 71 - "four"
• from 72 - “five”

Note that the minimum number of points for admission to a university is only 36 points, but to obtain a certificate it is enough to score 24 points.

Materials for preparing for the exam in the Russian language

Now a mass of literature is published annually, which helps future graduates prepare for the exam. In addition, for general access on the official website of FIPI, a lot of additional materials, namely:

1. Demo version of the exam
2. Task forms
3. Training compilations
4. Video consultations

Among the most optimal literature for preparation, it is worth highlighting the manual from the author Tsybulko I.P.

(31) Serious times have come. (32) And science fiction is especially needed now because it makes attempts to study each new machine long before it appears and begins to destroy or rebuild us and the world around us.

(33) Now that we have almost fully harvested the harvest of technical innovations, we need to develop some kind of norms for the relationship between man and technology, so as not to be untenable in the face of the future.

(1) When I entered the new empty apartment, the only one who met me was an old snow-covered poplar tree outside the window, he was left from the village estate that was in this place, and now, looking into the second floor, he seemed to say to me: “Hello ”, - and from its white beautiful branches light poured into the room, pure, immaculate, incorruptible. (2) Then spring came, and one morning, after a warm night rain, something green, smoky, indefinite looked in the window.

(3) Every spring the same thing is repeated, and each time it is like a miracle, a miracle of renewal, and one cannot get used to it. (4) I stood and looked for a long time and could not get enough of it. (5) Now, it was as if someone living had settled outside the window, making noise and suddenly falling silent, and during the wind softly and meekly tapping on the window.

(6) He lived with all his leaves, thousands of thousands of leaves, exposing them to the sun, moon, wind, rain. (7) He enjoyed life with might and main, every minute, every second of his life. (8) And I, thinking about my life, would like to learn from him this constant joy in the wild under heaven.

(9) Birds flew on its branches, they whistled, sang their short city songs, maybe the poplar told them about me, and they looked out the window and grinned.

(10) What a long wonderful summer it was in that first year of life in a new room, with a living poplar at the very window, what endless sunsets, and bright nights, and light dreams! (11) Only sometimes I suddenly dreamed that for some reason I had lost a new room and again I live in an old, dark and fumes, with a bare electric light bulb on a long cord. (12) But I woke up, and the poplar looked into the room with clean, fresh walls, and the predawn green noise merged with the feeling of a happy awakening. (13) Then autumn came, the leaves turned yellow, and the room became quiet, sad.

(14) Autumn showers and storms began, at night the poplar creaked, moaned, beat its branches against the wall, as if asking for protection from the weather. (15) Gradually, the leaves flew around from its upper branches, and then from the lower ones. (16) The leaves flowed in streams, covering the balcony, and some stuck to the glass and looked in horror into the room, waiting for something.

(17) And now not a single leaf was left on the poplar, it stood naked, black, as if burned, and against the background of the blue sky, every black twig, every vein was visible, it was solemnly quiet and sad in nature, the unheated sun shone in summer. (18) And, as always, childhood was remembered and thought: who are you? (19) What is the meaning of life? (20) Then it was spring again, and everything was all over again, and life seemed endless.

(21) But one morning I heard a sound under the window, as if my poplar was squealing. (22) I rushed to the window. (23) Below were scrapers and road rollers that were breaking through a new street, and a worker was cutting down a poplar standing in the middle of the road with an electric saw.

(24) And from above, I saw how a shiver passed through his entire green body, he staggered, thought for a moment and collapsed onto a new street, blocking it in its entire width with noisy green landslide foliage.

(25) And the red-brick, boring, bare wall of the house on the other side of the street opened up to me, and since then I have only seen it and a piece of the sky.

(26) I often remember my poplar. (27) And it still seems that he has not disappeared from the earth, but is growing somewhere in the forest, in the clearing, making noise with all the leaves.
