Average USE score 2017 in physics
155,281 people took part in the Unified State Examination in Physics in 2017, including 98.9% of graduates of the current year. In percentage terms, the number of participants in the USE in physics has not changed and is about 24% of the total number of graduates of the current year.
The largest number of participants in the Unified State Examination in Physics is noted in Moscow (9943), the Moscow Region (6745), St. Petersburg (5775), the Republic of Bashkortostan (5689) and the Krasnodar Territory (4869).
The average USE score in physics in 2017 was 53.16, which is higher than last year (50.02 test scores).
The minimum USE score in physics in 2017, as in 2016, was 36 TB, which corresponded to 9 primary scores. Percentage of exam participants who did not pass minimum score in 2017, amounted to 3.78%, which is significantly less than the share of participants who did not reach the minimum limit in 2016 (6.11%).
In comparison with the two previous years, in 2017 the share of untrained and poorly trained participants (who scored up to 40 tb) significantly decreased.
The share of graduates demonstrating average results (41-60 tb) remained practically unchanged, while the share of high-scorers (81-100 tb) increased, reaching a maximum of 4.94% in three years.
Maximum test score recruited 278 exam participants, which is higher than in the previous two years.
Maximum primary score for work - 50.
For the USE in physics, the range from 61 to 100 test scores is also significant, which demonstrates the readiness of graduates to successfully continue their education in organizations. higher education. In 2017, this group of graduates increased significantly compared to the previous two years and amounted to 21.44%. These results indicate an increase in the quality of teaching physics in specialized classes.
The Unified State Examination in Physics is an exam of the choice of graduates and is designed to differentiate when entering higher educational establishments. For these purposes, tasks of three levels of complexity are included in the work. Completing tasks basic level complexity allows you to assess the level of development of the most significant content elements of the course of physics high school and mastery of the most important activities. The use of tasks of increased and high levels of complexity in the USE makes it possible to assess the degree of student's preparation for continuing education at a university.
Each option examination work consists of 2 parts and includes 32 tasks that differ in form and level of complexity (see table).
Part 1 contains 24 tasks, of which 9 tasks with the choice and recording the number of the correct answer and 15 tasks with a short answer, including tasks with self-recording the answer in the form of a number, as well as tasks for establishing correspondence and multiple choice, in which answers are required write as a sequence of numbers.
Part 2 contains 8 tasks combined general view activities - problem solving. Of these, 3 tasks with a short answer (25–27) and 5 tasks (28–32), for which it is necessary to provide a detailed answer.

Distribution of tasks by topics
When developing the content of KIM, the need to check the assimilation of knowledge in the following sections of the physics course is taken into account:
- Mechanics(kinematics, dynamics, statics, conservation laws in mechanics, mechanical vibrations and waves)
- Molecular physics(molecular-kinetic theory, thermodynamics);
- Electrodynamics and fundamentals of SRT(electric field, direct current, magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic oscillations and waves, optics, fundamentals of SRT);
- The quantum physics(particle-wave dualism, atomic physics, physics atomic nucleus)
The total number of tasks in the examination paper for each of the sections is approximately proportional to its content content and the study time allotted for the study of this section in the school physics course.
Distribution of tasks by difficulty level
The exam paper contains tasks different levels difficulty: basic, advanced and high.
Basic level tasks are included in part 1 of the work (19 tasks, of which 9 tasks with the choice and recording of the number of the correct answer and 10 tasks with a short answer). These are simple tasks that test the assimilation of the most important physical concepts, models, phenomena and laws.
Tasks advanced level distributed between the first and second parts of the examination paper: 5 tasks with a short answer in part 1, 3 tasks with a short answer and 1 task with a detailed answer in part 2. These tasks are aimed at testing the ability to use the concepts and laws of physics to apply one or two laws (formulas) on any of the topics school course physics.
The four tasks of part 2 are tasks high level complexity and test the ability to use the laws and theories of physics in a changed or new situation. The fulfillment of such tasks requires the application of knowledge from two or three branches of physics at once, i.e., a high level of training.
Task difficulty levels
Grading system
The task with the choice and recording of the number of the correct answer is considered completed if the number of the answer recorded in form No. 1 matches the correct answer. Each of these tasks is worth 1 point.
A task with a short answer is considered completed if the answer recorded in form No. 1 matches the correct answer.
Assignments 3–5, 10, 15, 16, 21 of Part 1 and Assignments 25–27 of Part 2 are worth 1 point.
Items 6, 7, 11, 12, 17, 18, 22 and 24 of Part 1 are worth 2 points if both elements of the answer are correct; 1 point if an error was made in specifying one of the elements of the answer, and 0 points if two errors were made.
Answers to tasks with the choice and recording of the number of the correct answer and a short answer are processed automatically after scanning the answer forms No. 1.
A task with a detailed answer is evaluated by two experts taking into account the correctness and completeness of the answer. The maximum initial score for tasks with a detailed answer is 3 points. Each task is provided detailed instructions for experts, which indicates what each point is assigned for - from zero to maximum score. IN examination version Before each type of task, an instruction is offered, which contains General requirements to format responses.
Exam duration and equipment
To complete the entire examination work is given 235 minutes. Estimated time to complete the tasks of various parts of the work is:
- for each task with a choice of answers - 2-5 minutes;
- for each task with a short answer - 3-5 minutes;
- for each task with a detailed answer - from 15 to 25 minutes.
used non-programmable calculator(per student) with the ability to calculate trigonometric functions(cos, sin, tg) and ruler. The list of additional devices and materials, the use of which is allowed for the exam, is approved by Rosobrnadzor.
In 2017, the control measuring materials in physics will undergo significant changes.
From the options, tasks with a choice of one correct answer were excluded and tasks with a short answer were added. In this regard, a new structure of part 1 of the examination paper was proposed, and part 2 was left unchanged.
When making changes to the structure of the examination paper, the general conceptual approaches to assessment were retained educational achievements. In particular, the total score for completing all tasks of the examination paper remained unchanged, the distribution of maximum scores for completing tasks of different levels of complexity and the approximate distribution of the number of tasks by sections of the school physics course and methods of activity were preserved. Each version of the examination paper checks the content elements from all sections of the school physics course, while tasks of different levels of complexity are offered for each section. The priority in the design of CMM is the need to verify the types of activities provided for by the standard: mastering the conceptual apparatus of a physics course, mastering methodological skills, applying knowledge in explaining physical processes and solving problems.
The version of the examination paper will consist of two parts and will include 31 tasks. Part 1 will contain 23 short answer items, including self-recording items as a number, two numbers, or a word, as well as matching and multiple choice items, in which responses must be recorded as a sequence of numbers. Part 2 will contain 8 tasks united by a common activity - problem solving. Of these, 3 tasks with a short answer (24–26) and 5 tasks (29–31), for which it is necessary to provide a detailed answer.
The work will include tasks of three levels of difficulty. Basic level tasks are included in part 1 of the work (18 tasks, of which 13 tasks record the answer in the form of a number, two numbers or a word and 5 tasks for matching and multiple choice). Among the tasks of the basic level, tasks are distinguished, the content of which corresponds to the standard of the basic level. The minimum number of USE points in physics, which confirms that the graduate has mastered the program of secondary (complete) general education in physics, is set based on the requirements for mastering the basic level standard.
The use of tasks of increased and high levels of complexity in the examination work allows us to assess the degree of readiness of the student to continue education at the university. Advanced questions are divided between parts 1 and 2 of the examination paper: 5 short answer questions in part 1, 3 short answer questions and 1 long answer question in part 2. The last four problems of part 2 are tasks of a high level of difficulty.
Part 1 examination work will include two blocks of tasks: the first checks the development of the conceptual apparatus of the school physics course, and the second - the mastery of methodological skills. The first block includes 21 tasks, which are grouped based on thematic affiliation: 7 tasks in mechanics, 5 tasks in MKT and thermodynamics, 6 tasks in electrodynamics and 3 in quantum physics.
A group of tasks for each section begins with tasks with an independent formulation of the answer in the form of a number, two numbers or a word, then comes a multiple choice task (two correct answers out of five proposed), and at the end - tasks for changing physical quantities V various processes and to establish a correspondence between physical quantities and graphs or formulas in which the answer is written as a set of two figures.
Multiple choice and matching tasks are 2-point and can be constructed on any content elements in this section. It is clear that in the same version, all tasks related to one section will check different elements of the content and relate to different topics of this section.
In the thematic sections on mechanics and electrodynamics, all three types of these tasks are presented; in the section on molecular physics- 2 tasks (one of them for multiple choice, and the other - either for changing physical quantities in processes, or for compliance); in the section on quantum physics - only 1 task for changing physical quantities or matching. Special attention you should pay attention to tasks 5, 11 and 16 for multiple choice, which assess the ability to explain the studied phenomena and processes and interpret the results of various studies presented in the form of tables or graphs. Below is an example of such a task in mechanics.
Attention should be paid to the change in the shape of individual task lines. Task 13 to determine the direction of vector physical quantities (Coulomb force, tension electric field, magnetic induction, Ampere force, Lorentz force, etc.) is offered with a short answer in the form of a word. In this case, the possible answers are indicated in the text of the task. An example of such a task is shown below.
In the section on quantum physics, I would like to pay attention to task 19, which tests knowledge about the structure of an atom, an atomic nucleus, or nuclear reactions. This task has changed the presentation form. The answer, which is two numbers, must first be written in the proposed table, and then transferred to the answer form No. 1 without spaces and additional characters. Below is an example of such a task form.
At the end of part 1, 2 tasks of a basic level of complexity will be offered, testing various methodological skills and related to different sections of physics. Task 22, using photographs or drawings of measuring instruments, is aimed at testing the ability to record instrument readings when measuring physical quantities, taking into account the absolute measurement error. The absolute measurement error is specified in the text of the task: either as half of the division value, or as the division value (depending on the accuracy of the instrument). An example of such a task is shown below.
Task 23 tests the ability to choose equipment for the experiment according to a given hypothesis. In this model, the form of the task presentation has changed, and now it is a multiple choice task (two items out of five proposed), but it is estimated at 1 point if both elements of the answer are correctly indicated. Three different task models can be offered: a choice of two drawings that graphically represent the respective test setups; the choice of two rows in the table that describes the characteristics of the experimental setups, and the choice of the names of two pieces of equipment or instruments that are necessary to carry out the specified experiment. Below is an example of one of these tasks.
Part 2 work is devoted to problem solving. This is traditionally the most significant result of mastering a high school physics course and the most demanded activity in the further study of the subject at a university.
In this part, KIM 2017 will have 8 different tasks: 3 computational tasks with independent recording of a numerical answer of an increased level of complexity and 5 tasks with a detailed answer, of which one is qualitative and four are computational.
At the same time, on the one hand, in different problems in one variant, the same not too significant meaningful elements are used, on the other hand, the application of fundamental conservation laws can occur in two or three problems. If we consider the "binding" of the topics of tasks to their position in the variant, then position 28 will always have a task in mechanics, position 29 - in MKT and thermodynamics, position 30 - in electrodynamics, and position 31 - mainly in quantum physics (if only material quantum physics will not be involved in the qualitative task at position 27).
The complexity of tasks is determined by both the nature of the activity and the context. In computational problems of an increased level of complexity (24–26), the use of the studied algorithm for solving the problem is assumed and typical learning situations are proposed that students encountered in the learning process and in which explicitly specified physical models are used. In these tasks, preference is given to standard formulations, and their selection will be carried out mainly with a focus on open bank assignments.
The first of the tasks with a detailed answer is a qualitative task, the solution of which is a logically built explanation based on physical laws and patterns. For computational problems of a high level of complexity, it is necessary to analyze all stages of the solution, therefore they are offered in the form of tasks 28–31 with a detailed answer. Here, modified situations are used in which it is necessary to operate with a larger number of laws and formulas than in typical problems, to introduce additional justifications in the decision process or completely new situations that have not been encountered before in the educational literature and involve serious activity in the analysis of physical processes and independent choice of a physical model for solving the problem.
In some tasks, there are several correct solutions, due to which different interpretations of the correct execution of the task are possible. Don't be afraid to appeal if you think your score has been miscalculated.

EGE assessment
Last year, in order to pass the Unified State Exam in physics, at least for a three, it was enough to score 36 primary points. They were given, for example, for correctly completed the first 10 tasks of the test.
How it will be in 2019 is still not known for sure: you need to wait for an official order from Rosobrnadzor on the correspondence of primary and test scores. Most likely it will appear in December. Considering that the maximum primary score has increased from 50 to 52, it is very likely that the minimum score may also change slightly.
In the meantime, you can focus on these tables:
USE structure
In 2019, the exam in physics consists of two parts. Task No. 24 on knowledge of astrophysics was added to the first part. Because of this total number tasks in the test increased to 32.
- Part 1: 24 tasks (1-24) with a short answer that is a number (whole number or decimal) or a sequence of numbers.
- Part 2: 7 tasks (25–32) with a detailed answer, they need to describe in detail the entire course of the task.
Preparation for the exam
- Pass the USE tests online for free without registration and SMS. The presented tests are identical in their complexity and structure to the real exams held in the corresponding years.
- Download demo versions of the Unified State Examination in Physics, which will allow you to better prepare for the exam and make it easier to pass it. All proposed tests are designed and approved to prepare for USE Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI). In the same FIPI, all official USE options.
The tasks that you will see, most likely, will not be found on the exam, but there will be tasks similar to the demo ones, on the same topic or simply with different numbers. - Get familiar with the basic formulas for preparing for the exam, they will help refresh your memory before proceeding with the demo and test options.
