The Unified State Exam in biology is taken at the choice of a student who plans to enter a higher education institution with a certain specialization. In terms of popularity, this subject ranks 5th-6th every yearplaces, about 18% of schoolchildren pass it. Which universities require biology? This subject is taken in educational institutions in the following areas: medicine, biology, pedagogy with the specialty “Biology teacher”, Agriculture, veterinary medicine, Physical Culture, psychology, garden design, ecology, technical specialties where biology borders on physics. Professions: psychologist, ecologist, athlete, engineer, doctor.

The work consists of tasks that are conventionally divided into two parts. In 2018, there were 28 tasks: 21 - tests, you need to choose an option from the proposed ones, 7 - of increased complexity, you need to give a detailed answer.

The work is given 210 minutes - the student decides independently how to allocate time for answers.

The threshold score for admission to various universities depends on the specific requirement educational institution– this information needs to be clarified at the university.

• The first part contains tasks on knowledge of theory and the ability to use this knowledge. Types of tasks in the first part: multiple choice (can be accompanied by a picture), establishing a logical sequence, solving problems, adding data to a table, analyzing data.
• The second part aims to identify the characteristics and depth of knowledge of the subject. The purpose of such tasks is to test the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships, draw conclusions, use theory in practice, justify one’s position, and think logically. It is this part of the test that is key in the selection process of potential university students.

The first part is checked automatically using a computer. The second is analyzed by specialists.

How difficult is the biology exam?

• The main difficulty is the significant amount of information that needs to be repeated. The school course begins in grades 5-6, so when preparing you will have to “dig deep.”
• Difficulties are also associated with the structure of the exam. High-quality theoretical knowledge does not necessarily guarantee successful passing of the Unified State Exam - you need to learn how to perform certain types of tasks. This can be learned with the help of a professional tutor or by taking a test at online mode. Every year, tasks of a new type are introduced into the structure - you need to be prepared for this.
• The most difficult topics are: photosynthesis, DNA, energy metabolism. It is better to contact a tutor for these sections and assignments on this topic.

How to effectively prepare for the exam?

• The main thing is to listen carefully in class and study textbooks. This will become a reliable base for successful completion exam.
• Planning: systematic preparation requires a stable and thorough study of the material of the Unified State Examination program.
• Self-education: read reference books, on one's own.
• Take the online test.

Main advantage online testing– the opportunity to develop the ability to solve problems to the point of automaticity different types and level of difficulty, correctly allocate time during the exam. It is recommended to prepare for the second part with a teacher or tutor.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in Biology in 2017

Posted on 10.09.2016 by Boris Sadykov

Hello, dear readers of the biology tutor blog via Skype.

Finally, I have the opportunity to give a clear answer to your many questions about the changes in conducting the Unified State Exam in biology in 2017.

Rumors have long been circulating that “a significant innovation for 11th grade graduates will be the abandonment of the TEST form of final exam assignments in three disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology. This major change in exam format is an attempt to reduce the ability to intuitively guess the correct answer.”

Yes, yes, very absurd rumors that the test part will supposedly be deleted.

Was the Unified State Exam bad in its previous form?

The rumors were reinforced by the fact that even from the very inception of the Unified State Exam, as a form of certification of students, which allows students to be enrolled in a university based on the results of passing the Unified State Exam, this form of exam was criticized for the fact that it allegedly would not be able to ensure the normal acquisition of knowledge, leading only to “training” "on memorization rather than understanding the material.

But only those who themselves had never taught at school or university could think so. Exam in Unified State Examination form from the very beginning included, in addition to the test parts (), necessary to test students’ knowledge of a huge terminological base, also ( estimated to be three times more expensive than Part A).

Therefore, no matter how much space the Part A tests took up in the examination paper, the points obtained by simply guessing the correct answer (and the chance of guessing is quite large - 25%) was still not enough even to pass the barrier of three.

The Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) dispels all rumors

On August 26, 2016, FIPI on its official website published projects documents regulating the structure and content of control measuring instruments Unified State Exam materials 2017.

Let's look Codifier. There are no . In order to prepare well for the exam, you must, as before, study biology comprehensively in the following 7 blocks:

First block“Biology as a science. Methods scientific knowledge» controls material about the achievements of biology, research methods, and the main levels of organization of living nature.

Second block"The cell is like biological system» contains tasks that test: knowledge about the structure, vital activity and diversity of cells; the ability to establish the relationship between the structure and functions of cell organelles, recognize and compare cells of different organisms, the processes occurring in them.

Third block“Organism as a biological system” controls the assimilation of knowledge about the laws of heredity and variability, about the ontogenesis and reproduction of organisms, about the selection of organisms
and biotechnology, and also reveals the level of mastery of the ability to apply biological knowledge when solving problems in genetics.

In the fourth The block “System and diversity of the organic world” tests: knowledge about the diversity, structure, life activity and reproduction of organisms of various kingdoms of living nature and viruses;
the ability to compare organisms, characterize and determine their belonging to a specific systematic taxon.

Fifth block“The human body and its health” is aimed at determining the level of mastery of the system of knowledge about the structure and vital functions of the human body.

To the sixth block“The Evolution of Living Nature” includes tasks aimed at monitoring: knowledge about the species, driving forces ah, directions and results of the evolution of the organic world; skills to explain the main aromorphoses in the evolution of flora and fauna, to establish the relationship between the driving forces and results of evolution.

Seventh block“Ecosystems and their inherent patterns” contains tasks aimed at testing: knowledge about environmental patterns, the circulation of substances in the biosphere; skills to establish relationships between organisms in ecosystems, identify causes of sustainability,
self-development and change of ecosystems.

But there are indeed changes in the 2017 CMM compared to the 2016 CMM ( see Demo versions, specifications, Unified State Exam codifiers 2017. Biology)

These changes mainly concern the optimization of the very structure of the examination paper :

1. Tasks in the form of one digit corresponding to the number of the correct answer are excluded.
2. The total number of tasks has been reduced from 40 to 28.
3. The maximum primary score has been reduced from 61 to 59.
4. The duration of the examination work has been increased from 180 to 210 minutes.
5. Part 1 includes new types of tasks, which differ significantly in type educational activities: filling in the missing elements of a diagram or table, finding the correctly indicated symbols in the figure, analyzing and synthesizing information, including that presented in the form of graphs, diagrams and tables with statistical data.

New structure of KIM Unified State Exam in 2017

Thus, each version of the CMM exam paper now contains only 28 tasks and consists of 2 parts, varying in form and level of complexity.

Part 1 contains 21 tasks:

Most tasks (7 tasks), as before, with choosing from ready-made answers. This is what was previously included in the part A. Only now students are asked to choose not 1 correct answer out of 4 proposed, but 2-3 answers out of 5-7 proposed.

This, in fact, is where all the fuss lies about the rumors about eliminating the test part from the exams. As we see, it has been shortened and changed only former part A. Test tasks related earlier to the part IN, it became even more:

6 tasks - to establish compliance;
3 tasks - to establish the sequence of biological processes, phenomena, objects, systematic taxa;
2 tasks - to solve biological problems in cytology and genetics;
1 task – to supplement the missing information in the diagram;
1 task – to complete the missing information in the table;
1 task - to analyze information presented in graphical or tabular form ((these last three types of tasks are completely new for the Unified State Exam, so students and biology tutors should pay special attention to how to answer them).

You should be very, very scrupulous in filling out the answer forms for the examination work of Part 1 (do not leave any cells missing), since this test part of the work, as before, is assessed by a “ruthless” computer.

Part 2 contains 7 tasks with detailed answers.

In these tasks, as before, the answer is formulated and written down by the examinee independently in detailed form. The tasks of this part of the work are essentially aimed at identifying biological talents - graduates with a very high level of biological training.

The table below shows how tasks from various blocks of the Codifier are distributed in the exam paper in Part 1 and Part 2.

As you can see, all sections of biology in Part 1 and Part 2 of any version of the examination paper should be distributed equally. That is, there should not be any “distortions” in terms of the fact that in some version there would be, for example, a lot of botany, and in another there would be a lot of human biology.

The table below shows which maximum amount Primary points can now be obtained for the first and second parts of the examination paper.

We see, as before, students have the opportunity to receive O the largest share in the assessment (66%) is for test part of the work(this answers the question that tests will be canceled starting from 2017).

conclusions

The strategy itself is in preparation with passing the Unified State Exam in biology in 2017 should. It is necessary to study biology using various school textbooks and reference materials within the framework of the same main 7 sections of the Codifier.

Since the test part of the examination work has undergone significant changes, now, “without delaying long box", should be studied very carefully Demo version of KIM Unified State Exam 2017 of the year. Pay special attention to the correct completion of the answer forms for the assignments presented in the new form.

In general, I can state that passing the biology exam in 2017 will be much more difficult than before (there is no longer the opportunity to get completely “free” points for simply guessing). It will be more difficult to achieve both the minimum threshold and get the maximum number of points. But, the main thing is that the versions of the examination papers themselves do not differ much from each other in complexity, so that all applicants are placed in approximately equal conditions.

The proposed manual is addressed to high school students and applicants for preparing for the Unified State Exam in Biology. The biology exam is one of the exams that a secondary school graduate takes as an option. The Unified State Examination is carried out using tasks of a standardized form - control measuring materials (CMM), which test biological knowledge for the entire school course from grades 5 to 11. The main criterion for selecting tasks was their statistical characteristics and the degree of difficulty in the corresponding intervals: basic level - 60-85%, higher level - 30-60%, high level- 5-30%. This ensured a fairly high scientific and methodological level of KIM in biology, objectivity of tasks, parallelism of all options, compliance of Unified State Exam options with the codifier and specification.
Contents of the test on the Unified state exam includes knowledge and skills in all sections of the school course, which form the invariant core of the content of biological education and which are reflected in the 2004 standard for basic and advanced levels, in various educational programs in biology, recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia for use in educational institutions.
A significant place in the work is given to the control of theoretical knowledge and general biological patterns that manifest themselves at different levels of organization of living nature. These include theories: cellular, chromosomal, evolutionary; laws of heredity and variability; ecological patterns of biosphere development. From the basic school, material about the classification, structure, and vital functions of organisms from different kingdoms of living nature, their role in nature and human life is tested. In addition, the test tasks test material of a practical nature, such as the consequences of human activity on environment, compliance with disease prevention measures and rules healthy image life, norms of behavior in nature, solving biological problems, etc.

The biology exam is selective and only those who are confident in their knowledge will take it. The Unified State Exam in biology is considered a difficult subject, since it tests the knowledge accumulated over all years of study.

Unified State Exam assignments in biology, different types have been selected; to solve them, confident knowledge of the main topics of the school biology course is required. Based on this, teachers developed over 10 test tasks on each topic.

Topics that need to be studied when completing assignments, see from FIPI. Each task has its own algorithm of actions that will help in solving problems.

Changes in KIM Unified State Examination 2019 in biology:

• The model of the task in line 2 has been changed. Instead of a multiple choice task worth 2 points, a task on working with a table worth 1 point has been included.
• The maximum primary score decreased by 1 and amounted to 58 points.

Structure of Unified State Examination tasks in biology:

• Part 1– these are tasks from 1 to 21 with a short answer; approximately 5 minutes are allotted for completion.

Advice: Read the wording of the questions carefully.

• Part 2– these are tasks from 22 to 28 with a detailed answer; approximately 10-20 minutes are allotted for completion.

Advice: express your thoughts in a literary manner, answer the question in detail and comprehensively, define biological terms, even if this is not required in the assignments. The answer should have a plan, not write in continuous text, but highlight points.

What is required of the student in the exam?

• Ability to work with graphic information (diagrams, graphs, tables) - its analysis and use;
• Multiple choice;
• Establishing compliance;
• Sequencing.

Points for each USE biology task

In order to get the highest grade in biology, you need to score 58 primary points, which will be converted to one hundred on the scale.

• 1 point - for tasks 1, 2, 3, 6.
• 2 points - 4, 5, 7-22.
• 3 points - 23-28.

How to Prepare for Biology Tests

1. Repetition of the theory.
2. Proper allocation of time for each task.
3. Solving practical problems several times.
4. Check your knowledge level by solving tests online.

Register, study and get a high score!

In 2017 year of the Unified State Exam There are big changes ahead in biology. The upcoming reform is being carried out in accordance with the plans of the Ministry of Education, announced several years ago. The goal of the reform is to move away from the usual test system, which, according to the officials themselves, gives rather unreliable results. And in 2017, biology became another subject from which all test questions were removed.

the date of the

• 03.2017 – first stage, early;
• 04.2017 – reserve day of the first stage;
• 06.2017 – second stage, main;
• 06.2017 – reserve day of the second stage;
• 06.2017 – reserve day for all subjects.

Changes in the Unified State Examination in Biology in 2017

In 2017, schoolchildren will face reforms in three subjects at once: chemistry, physics, and biology. What changes have been made to the Unified State Examination in Biology? First of all, this is removing the test part and replacing it with blocks with short answers.

• Changing the number of tasks. The Unified State Exam 2017 will have 28 tasks, not 40 as before.
• Introduction of new types of tasks. Instead of tasks with choosing one correct answer from four proposed options, the exam included tasks on adding or restoring tables and diagrams. Testing your skills in working with graphic material - drawings, diagrams, tables, graphs - becomes an important part of the biology exam.
• Increased exam duration. The time allotted for the Unified State Examination in Biology 2017 will increase to 210 minus (versus 180 last year).
• Decrease passing score. The primary/threshold score for biology in 2017 was reduced to 59 (versus 61 last year).

Exam structure:

• Review of data in a table or graph – 1 task
• Filling out tables - 1 task
• Filling out diagrams – 1 task
• Solving problems in genetics/cytology – 2 tasks
• Determining the sequence in processes/phenomena – task 3
• Matching – 6 tasks

The approximate structure of the exam is followed in all databases and demo versions of the Unified State Examination, which significantly facilitates preparation. It is especially worth noting that the new CMM model is similar to version of the OGE in biology, taken in ninth grade. So future graduates do not have to worry - the structure of the exam will not be something fundamentally new for them.

Unified State Examination score

The minimum number of points that must be scored in biology is 36, and the primary score is 59. For correct answers to some questions, a student can receive one point, and for others - three.

• Questions 1, 3, 6 – answers to them are worth 1 point;
• Questions 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 – for correct answers you can get 2 points;
• Questions 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 – correct answers are worth 3 points.

According to FIPI warnings, some issues are deliberately complicated. Only those who know biology perfectly can answer them. Such questions will require not just a short answer, but a presentation of arguments in favor of the chosen version and a detailed explanation of the train of thought.

How to prepare for the exam

To help schoolchildren pass the Unified State Exam in biology easily and without problems, FIPI publishes auxiliary and teaching materials.

Preparation for the Unified State Exam in Biology 2017 must necessarily include working with demo versions of the exam. Today, there are 36 variants of CMMs, all of them with a similar structure, that is, for preparation you can take any of the options proposed by FIPI.

Methodists assure that preparing for the exam will take quite a long time, and to successfully master the material, it is best to create a schedule and stick to it. Recommendations created by FIPI specialists will certainly help schoolchildren in their preparation:

1. Based on the topics published by FIPI, make a list of subsections that need to be repeated. Based on the volume and complexity of the topic, draw up a schedule for studying them, while complex topics It is necessary to allocate more time than for simple and easy ones.
2. It is best to study the material using a school textbook. As additional sources, you can use methodological materials recommended by the department and information from the World Wide Web.
3. To make it easier to study the topic and make it easier to memorize the material, summarize the data on the topic being studied in a table or schematic outline.
4. Use the KIMs published on the FIPI website for preparation. This will help you identify knowledge gaps on certain topics.
5. When studying new topics, periodically return to old ones, repeating and refreshing your memory of the material covered.

Exam demos will help you prepare for your exams. In addition to the already mentioned opportunity to discover poorly studied topics, online versions help to become familiar with the very structure of the exam.

Conclusion

Considering all the changes made, we come to a disappointing (for some schoolchildren) conclusion - the Unified State Exam in Biology in 2017 will be much more difficult to pass than in 2016. It will be more difficult to obtain both the minimum number of points, that is, to reach the pass threshold, and to score maximum value. The chance to get points for guessing disappears; you will have to really prepare for the exam and study the subject thoroughly.
