The assessment system for the Unified State Exam in mathematics of the profile level is much more complicated. First, the exam assignments have different "prices". The tasks from the first part (with a short answer) are the cheapest; the most "expensive" are the last two problems (an equation or inequality with a parameter and a problem in number theory).
In 2016, the ideal solution to all nineteen tasks can bring 32 primary scores... The maximum number of points has decreased compared to 2015 by two, since the first part now offers not 14, but 12 tasks.
Primary scores are converted to test scores... The translation scale varies slightly from year to year. Below is the table that was used in the 2015 exam in mathematics. Please note: the corresponding function is very different from the linear one: rapid growth in the area of low ratings is replaced by a smoother one in the middle of the scale.

For admission to the university, you must collect a minimum 27 points(i.e., solve the 6 simplest tasks from the first part). Naturally, admission to serious educational institutions requires significantly higher results.
I would like to emphasize once again: the above table is just a guideline! When setting the test score, not only the number of primary points is taken into account, but also the relative complexity of the problems solved, as well as the number of schoolchildren who coped with this or that task. Thus, the final "formula" for the transfer of points will be known only after passing the exam - 2016 in mathematics by all graduates.
How many tasks do you need to complete to get a certain point on the exam? This question can be answered using a special scales for converting primary scores into test scores.
The scale indicates the correspondence between the primary and test scores.
Primary scores- this is preliminary points before transferring to a 100-point scale (for example, in the Russian language for task No. 1 you can get 2 primary points, for task No. 2 - 1 primary point). You can get acquainted with the distribution of points for tasks in this article... Primary scores are converted to test scores.
Test scores- this is final points after transferring to a 100-point scale, with which applicants enter the university. For one item you can get no more than 100 test points.
In purple
points are highlighted, which are not enough to pass the exam.
In redthe minimum scores are highlighted, confirming the delivery of the exam.
The maximum number of primary points (USE 2016):
Russian language - 57 (+1)
;
Math - 32 (-2)
;
Social Studies - 62 (0)
;
Physics - 50 (0)
;
Biology - 61 (0)
;
History - 53 (-6)
;
Chemistry - 64 (0)
;
Foreign languages - 100 (0)
;
Informatics and ICT - 35 (0)
;
Literature - 42 (0)
;
Geography - 47 (-4)
.
The change in primary scores compared to 2015 is shown in parentheses.
If the number of primary points does not change, then the scale of the transfer of points remains unchanged. Therefore, we can say that the scale for social science, physics, biology, chemistry, foreign languages, informatics and literature for 2016 is 100% accurate. The most unclear is the scale in mathematics, because in 2015 this scale taken from the ceiling, it defies any logic; it is unclear what the math scale will look like in 2016.
Scale for converting points to grades by mathematics (basic level) is presented below:
Since 2015, the USE in mathematics has been divided into two levels: basic and specialized. The Unified State Exam of the profile level is intended for graduates planning to enter technical and economic universities and further study higher mathematics.
If the graduate does not pass the profile exam, passing the USE at the basic level is mandatory! It is impossible to get a school certificate without a positive mark for this exam.
Naturally, the examination options for the basic and specialized levels are very different both in the level of complexity of the proposed tasks and in their subject matter. The basic level assumes familiarity with the basic concepts of algebra, geometry, arithmetic at the level of the school "four". Among the tasks of the profile level, there are serious tasks (for example, parametric) that require knowledge that goes beyond the scope of the school curriculum.
The USE version in mathematics of the basic level includes 20 questions that require only a short numerical answer. The student is not obliged to provide a complete solution, he is not obliged to substantiate the answer. For each correctly solved task, you can get 1 primary score. Thus, the maximum primary the score is 20.
The scores obtained are converted to "traditional" grades in accordance with the table below. For example, a graduate who scored 14 primary points receives a "good" grade.
Unified State Exam in Mathematics (basic level). Scale for converting primary scores into grades
Please note: a student who scored less than 7 points receives an "unsatisfactory" grade for the exam. In this case, the USE in mathematics will have to be taken again, otherwise the graduate runs the risk of being left without a certificate.
The above table was used for the 2015 exam in mathematics. The likelihood of any changes in 2016 is small, but the situation will finally become clear after the exam. It is too early to make any predictions for 2017.
