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 it is necessary confident knowledge on main topics school course biology. 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.
- 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, give a definition biological terms, even if this is not required in the tasks. 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
- Repetition of the theory.
- Proper allocation of time for each task.
- Solution practical problems several times.
- Check your knowledge level by solving tests online.

In 2017 year of the Unified State Exam waiting for Biology Big changes. The upcoming reform is being carried out in accordance with the plans of the Ministry of Education, announced several years ago. The purpose of 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 Unified State Examination, which greatly facilitates preparation. It is especially worth noting that new model CMM 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use the KIMs published on the FIPI website for preparation. This will help you identify knowledge gaps on certain topics.
- 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 Examination in biology in 2017 will be much more difficult to pass than in 2016. It will be more difficult to obtain both minimal amount points, that is, to reach the threshold of passability, and gain maximum value. The chance to get points for guessing disappears; you will have to really prepare for the exam and study the subject thoroughly.
