All students intending to graduate from secondary education in 2017 will be required to pass the Unified State Examination, a unified state exam aimed at assessing the student’s knowledge acquired throughout his school life. Passing the Unified State Exam is always accompanied by stress not only on the part of the children themselves, but also their parents and even teachers who worry about their students. Therefore, the question of what number of Unified State Examinations in 2017 worries everyone interested long before the end of the next one.
Dates for the Unified State Examination in 2017
It should be noted that the 2017 Unified State Exam will be held in two stages: early (trial) and, accordingly, the main one. According to the Rosobrnadzor project, the trial stage of the Unified State Exam 2017 will be held from March 14 to April 7 , and the main one is from May 26 to June 30, 2017 .
Trial and main stages
So, the Unified State Exam 2017 will be held in two stages: early (preparatory) and main. The early stage is necessary in order to familiarize the student with the technique of passing the required subject on the Unified State Exam, to eliminate the possibility of a “first scare” when the graduate may become confused by the unusual form of passing the exam. In addition, at this stage, students become familiar with the form of asking questions, with the level of tasks, and can independently and with the help of teachers assess their actual level of preparation for passing the subject. The good news is that the trial level is completed in advance, which gives the graduate time to improve their knowledge and get a decent grade.
Unified State Exam 2017 - exam schedule 
Thus, the preparatory stage will traditionally take place from March 14 to April 7. In turn, the main stage of the unified state exam is planned to be held from May 26 to June 30. This stage will be decisive in the struggle for a decent certificate.
Required subjects in 2017
Let us immediately note that various changes in the Unified State Exam 2017 do not affect compulsory subjects, as before, in order for graduates to receive a certificate, they will need to pass the following compulsory subjects, such as: mathematics and Russian language. According to experts from Rosobrnadzor, in the coming years there are no plans to add a new subject to the list of compulsory ones; only after 2022, the compulsory subjects of the Unified State Examination will be replenished with another compulsory subject - a foreign language.
All other subjects are optional, and for this reason, are taken by graduates on a voluntary basis, based on their choice for admission to universities, a certain focus.
Unified State Exam 2017: changes, latest news
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation is talking about canceling the test regime for passing the exam. This idea arose due to the fact that some students who did not know how to solve a particular problem could simply choose an answer option and guess it by chance. According to the latest data, since 2017, Rosobrnadzor plans to abandon tests, in almost all subjects of the Unified State Exam 2017, including: biology, physics and chemistry.
Rosobrnadzor will begin to approve the methodology by which the minimum score will be calculated in 2017 for the unified state exam.
Introduction of the oral form of delivery. In order to pass the Russian language or history, students will need to pass an oral exam so that their level of preparation is most fully assessed.
Every schoolchild in our country is required to take unified state exams, which demonstrate the level of knowledge acquired at school and become the basis for the further development of education - admission to a university. Such an important event requires a long preparation, and therefore every student strives to find out the schedule of USE exams 2017 in advance.
Features of the Unified State Exam 2017
Until 2017, tests were the main form of knowledge testing. In 2016, the form of test questions was considered obsolete, because even without knowing the correct answer, the student had the opportunity to guess it from the options provided. Since 2017, it has been decided to return to the survey form of exams, that is, most subjects will be taken as it was customary in the “noughties” - in the period before 2009. In addition, the student can expect a whole series of innovations. Let's tell you more about them.
Firstly, a third is added to the two mandatory exams - it should be history. True, the name of the third subject has not yet been firmly established, but at the beginning of the school year this information will already be made public. That is, you will have to take the Russian language, mathematics and, most likely, history - more precisely, it will be known by the date of the Unified State Exam 2017.
Secondly, the RAO (Russian Academy of Education) insists on introducing a point scale for grading essays. Until today, essays were assessed according to only two criteria: pass or fail. This, according to representatives of the Russian Academy of Education, negatively affects the knowledge of students and gives advantages to those students who are simply too lazy to study literature - it is much easier to get a “pass” in an essay than an “A”.
Thirdly, the results of the Unified State Exam will also be influenced by the grades in the certificate. The higher the scores for school subjects, the higher the final grade for the state exam.
Fourthly, if the points scored do not reach the threshold level, students will be given the opportunity to retake the Unified State Exam twice more. It will also be possible to take a retake if the student for some reason is not satisfied with the points he scored.
So, at the Unified State Exam, schoolchildren will have to take one of their choice. They can be taken several times until the student finds the result satisfactory.

The Unified State Exam retake usually takes place in September, most often in the first half of the month. However, the schedule for a possible retake will be known only by August 2017.
Extra points
Additional points may be added for exam scores. So, 10 points can be added to:
- for a certificate with only A's;
- for prizes won at Olympiads in school subjects;
- for achievements in sports.
Considering the possible addition of points, it is worth thinking about taking the Unified State Exam in advance: taking part in olympiads and competitions in all subjects, not just specialized ones; increase your level of knowledge, striving for excellent grades; participate in the sports life of the school.
More than 700,000 11th grade graduates will take the Unified State Exam in 2017. Despite the spring days, it is difficult to rejoice: exam dates are approaching at an alarming speed. On what days are the most terrible tests of the exam epic in store for graduates? When will you have to take the mandatory Unified State Exam in mathematics and Russian language in 2017? What should you expect and what should you prepare for? Forewarned is forearmed! Or in Latin - prei monituse, prei minituse!

Mandatory exams and elective disciplines
Traditionally, the list of disciplines that must be passed at any cost includes the Russian language and mathematics. Although from 2017 they are going to add one more compulsory subject to these subjects. True, it is not yet known what kind of object this is. There are several candidates for this role: foreign language, social studies, physics and history.
Today we know that you need to take only four exams: two mandatory and two optional. The graduate must determine his elective subjects himself, depending on what specialty at the university he plans to enroll in.
The list of elective Unified State Examinations for 2017 consists of 12 subjects:
- literature;
- story;
- social science;
- biology;

Changes and innovations in the Unified State Exam 2017
As mentioned above, it is planned to add one more to the two mandatory subjects for passing the Unified State Exam, but which one is unknown.
A rather important change that affected the content of examination tests is the abolition of the test part for several subjects at once. Thus, tests have been canceled not only in Russian language and mathematics, but also in “oral” subjects. The test part of the exam remains only in the Unified State Exam in a foreign language.
An innovation that speaks of the improvement of the Unified State Exam and its attempt to keep up with the times is passing the Unified State Exam in computer science and ICT on a computer.
Since 2017, the oral part “Speaking” has been introduced for exams in foreign languages. Now foreign languages will need to be taken 15 minutes longer - that’s how long the oral part will last. In addition to foreign languages, there is an idea to also introduce an oral part in the Unified State Exam in history, literature and social studies, but for now this is only in the draft. And in test mode, the oral part of the Russian language exam will be tested. Thus, in some regions of Russia, the Russian language exam in 2017 will include an oral part.
Thus, there are no cardinal and unexpected changes in the 2017 Unified State Examination. And those innovations that have been implemented are obviously aimed at improving the examination testing system. The official Unified State Exam schedule for 2017 has already been approved and known. All that remains is to prepare well and show a decent level of knowledge!
Good luck on your exams!
