The Unified State Exam is a modern type of final exam for schoolchildren, which they have been taking for several years now. It is worth noting that throughout the implementation of the Unified State Exam in Russian schools, every year graduates are faced with new changes and transformations, and the current period is no exception to the rule.

Retaking the Unified State Exam in 2016 is a rather complex process, which can be characterized by its own rules, requirements, criteria and features that you should be aware of, especially if you passed the exam unsatisfactorily.

Features of retake.

First of all, the composition of subjects that can be retaken has changed. Everyone probably knows that back in 2015, it was allowed to retake only compulsory subjects, that is, mathematics and Russian, since without them it was impossible to obtain a certificate. But, due to the new changes, a graduate can retake absolutely any subject in which he wants to improve his grade. It is for this purpose that special independent centers have been created, to which you need to submit an application to retake the chosen discipline. It is worth noting that everyone perceived this innovation as one of the most desirable, since a graduate can always increase his passing score on the Unified State Exam if he needs it in the discipline and for admission to a specific university.

When can I retake the Unified State Examination?

It is worth noting that retaking the Unified State Exam is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

• Firstly, in the same year. To date, a list of a special category of persons who may be allowed to retake the exam in the same year has been developed and compiled.
  1. Graduates who received an unsatisfactory result in the exam, that is, in mathematics and the Russian language.
  2. Graduates who did not show up for the test for a valid and compelling reason, supported by documents.
  3.Schoolchildren who, for certain reasons, were unable to complete the examination work.
  4.Schoolchildren whose results were canceled by decision of the certification commission and there were good reasons for this. It is worth noting that graduates can appeal this decision to an independent commission, based on the results of which they can retake the Unified State Exam in the future.
• Secondly, for next year. If, after passing the Unified State Examination in a subject, a graduate is dissatisfied with his results, because he is sure that he deserves a higher mark, then he, of course, has the right to retake the exam, but only the next year; he is strictly prohibited from doing so. It is worth remembering that to do this you must write a special application for a retake and submit it to the commission, but no later than March 1. If the test paper received an unsatisfactory mark that does not allow you to pass even the minimum threshold, then a repeat exam will be held in the fall of the same year. If the results of the second exam have not changed slightly, then the retake will be postponed to the next year.

What do you need to retake?

If for certain reasons you want to retake the exam, then the most important thing is to have time to contact and submit an application to a specially created examination commission that registers for retesting. To do this, you need to contact the secretariat, where you will be issued a special application form. It is this document that serves as a kind of pass to the Unified State Exam, and after registration it is sent to the authorized organizers of the examination tests.

When filling out the application, you should remember that it is also necessary to indicate a number of information here, without which the form will be considered invalid. This is to indicate the reason why the graduate was unable to pass the Unified State Exam along with everyone else within the specified time frame, and also try to attach and submit a document confirming this fact. After everything, the graduate is assigned and informed about the timing of the examination work.

As for the timing, for the examination, the student is assigned special reserve days, on which he is obliged to appear with all the necessary documents.

The Unified State Examination is a type of examination testing that has its own specific features and specifics both for a single discipline and for general requirements, groups and points.

Question answer

• 1. Why was the final essay introduced? Children already do not have time to prepare for the Unified State Exam.

  There are no plans for a mini Unified State Examination. It is planned to test and conduct diagnostic work (similar to control work), which is carried out to assess the individual achievements of students - All-Russian testing works. They will be carried out by the schools themselves, but using uniform versions of tasks for the entire country, developed at the federal level. The data obtained will be used to monitor learning outcomes according to the Federal State Educational Standard for primary schools.

The decision that school graduates must write a final essay was made in pursuance of subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of the list of instructions of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2013 No. Pr-3086 on the implementation of the Address of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation dated December 12, 2013.
It is due to the fact that the school must educate the individual. The introduction of a final essay as a form of admission to the state final certification motivates schoolchildren to study the Russian language and literature, as well as to develop the ability to correctly formulate and express their own thoughts.
At the same time, extremely “soft” conditions for conducting and evaluating the final essay are provided:

• participants write it in their own school;
• the participant in his reasoning only needs to rely on one independently chosen work.
• the essay is assessed according to the “pass” - “fail” system (for the final test you need to write an essay yourself (at least 250 words), obtain positive results according to criterion No. 1 “Conformity to the topic” and criterion No. 2 “Argumentation. Involvement of literary material”, and also according to at least one of three other criteria: “Composition and logic of reasoning”, “Quality of writing”, “Literacy”);
• participants have the right to retake the essay twice within the time limits specified in the essay schedule (February 7 and May 16, 2018).

When composing essay topics, narrowly defined formulations are not used and reliance is placed on the following principles: feasibility, clarity and accuracy of the problem statement. Topics will allow the graduate to choose literary material on which he will rely in his reasoning.

  The mastery of state-accredited basic educational programs of secondary general education ends with mandatory state final certification of graduates in Russian language and mathematics. Satisfactory results of the state final certification (hereinafter - GIA) in the Russian language and mathematics are the basis for issuing a certificate of secondary general education to graduates.
  Exams in other academic subjects: literature, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, social studies, foreign languages ​​(English, German, French and Spanish), computer science and information and communication technologies (ICT), as well as in the native language from among languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation and literature of the peoples of the Russian Federation in their native language from among the languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation (for students in educational programs of basic general education who have studied their native language and native literature and have chosen an exam in their native language and (or) native literature to pass the State Examination) – students take the test on a voluntary basis of their choice for admission to universities.
  Expansion of the list of compulsory subjects for passing the Unified State Exam in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated May 17, 2012 No. 413 “On approval of the federal state educational standard of secondary (complete) general education” (registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on June 7, 2012, registration No. 24480) it is planned to complete the transition of high schools to the new federal state educational standards of general education. This transition will be fully completed by 2022.
  Thus, a foreign language will become mandatory for passing the Unified State Exam, in addition to Russian and mathematics, in 2022.

• 1. Do 11th grade graduates who did not score the minimum points on the Unified State Exam in mathematics at the profile level have the right to choose a basic level when retaking the exam?

  Yes, there is such a right. Participants who received an unsatisfactory result on the Unified State Examination in mathematics have the right to change their previously chosen level to retake mathematics in the Unified State Examination within the reserve period.

  1. If a child does not enroll in a university this year, will he need to take the Unified State Exam again next year?

  This is not necessary if he is satisfied with the scores he received, and he does not plan to change the specialty for which he initially chose the subjects, since the Unified State Examination results are valid for four years following the year in which such results were obtained. But if there are concerns that the points received will not be enough for admission, it is better to retake the necessary subjects to try to improve the result.

  1. What compulsory subjects and in what year will be additionally included for passing the Unified State Exam?

  Currently, 11th grade graduates take two compulsory subjects – Russian language and mathematics. From 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, it is planned to introduce a third compulsory academic subject - a foreign language.

  1. Are the Unified State Exam results from previous years canceled when retaking them?

  No, the results of the Unified State Examination are not canceled when retaken. When entering a university, you can choose the best result from the current ones.

  1. What to do if parents are collecting money for paper and cartridges for printing exam materials? It is legal?

  Charging fees from students for passing the state final certification is not allowed (Article 8 of the Law on Education) Accordingly, this is illegal. If such facts occur, you must contact the regional body exercising control and supervision in the field of education.

  1. How many Unified State Exam points do 11th grade graduates need to score to receive a certificate with honors in 2019?

  According to the new procedure, approved by order of the Ministry of Education in December 2018, you need to score at least 70 points on the Unified State Exam in the Russian language and in mathematics at the specialized level. If a graduate has chosen the Unified State Exam in basic-level mathematics, then he must pass the exam with an “excellent” mark.

  1. Is it true that those who will be removed from the Unified State Examination this year for cheat sheets and other violations will now be able to retake the exams only in two years, and not in a year?

  No, if an exam participant violated the Procedure, for example, used a mobile phone when taking physics, and his result in physics was cancelled, then he will be able to re-participate in the Unified State Exam in this subject in 2020. That is, in a year.

  1. If a child gets sick during an exam, what actions need to be taken so that he can pass the Unified State Exam?

  It is necessary to submit to the State Examination Commission (SEC) an application for re-admission to take the exam along with a document confirming the valid reason for failure to appear for the exam. The State Examination Commission will review the application and the submitted document, after which it will set a day for re-participation in the exam this year during the reserve period. If a participant is being treated in a hospital, but is able to take the Unified State Exam, the examination point can be organized in a medical institution.

  1. What happens if a USE participant forgot his passport? Will he be allowed to take the exam?

  Admission of examination participants to the examination point (PPE) is carried out if they have identification documents and if they are included in the distribution lists at this PPE. Graduates of the current year, if they do not have identification documents, are admitted to the PPE after their identity is confirmed by an accompanying person from the school. To do this, the accompanying person fills out a certain form, which will be issued to the PPE. After which the graduate will be admitted to the examination point. As for graduates of previous years, if they do not have identification documents, they are not allowed into the PPE.

  1. Does the school have the right to insist that 9th grade graduates take exams in specific subjects (from among the elective subjects)?

  No, it doesn't. A ninth-grader takes 4 compulsory subjects to receive a certificate: Russian language and mathematics, as well as two elective subjects that he chooses himself.

  1. Will a foreign language be included in the compulsory subjects for 9th grade graduates?

  No. GIA-9 participants take exams in 4 academic subjects, one of which can be a foreign language, as an elective exam.

  1. Who checks answers to Unified State Examination tasks and how?

  Answers to short answer assignments are checked automatically, but then experts review all uncredited answers and decide which ones can be rated positively.

  Completion of tasks with a detailed answer is checked by experts who are members of the regional subject commission for the corresponding academic subject. Experts undergo special training and only after completing this training are allowed to check examination papers.

  Each work is checked by two experts independently of each other. After that, each expert gives his points for each task he checked. If there is a significant discrepancy in scores between two experts, a third expert is invited and his scores will be considered final.

  1. Is there a difference in the complexity of exam materials for the early and main stages of the Unified State Examination?

  KIM options for all periods of the Unified State Examination are collected on the basis of one model: they are identical in the number of tasks, their form and level of complexity. The distribution of CMM options for use during a particular exam period is carried out automatically, so there are no “special” options for a certain period of the Unified State Examination or a specific region.

  1. Starting this year, 11th grade graduates can choose to take only basic or specialized mathematics. Can a 10th grade student take the Unified State Exam in basic mathematics, and in 11th grade take specialized mathematics?

  No. The graduate chooses one level of mathematics, which he plans to take as part of the state final certification.

  Thus, if a student receives a satisfactory Unified State Examination result in mathematics (basic or specialized level) in the 10th grade, he will be deprived of the right to re-participate in the Unified State Examination in this academic subject in the 11th grade in order to increase the points received, because already has a result in the subject “mathematics”.

  1. Will the list of allowed and prohibited items on the exam change in 2019?

  This list did not change in 2019. Additional equipment that is allowed to be used on the Unified State Exam:

  • in mathematics - ruler;
  • in physics - a ruler and a non-programmable calculator;
  • in chemistry – non-programmable calculator;
  • in geography - ruler, protractor, non-programmable calculator.
  1. How can I cancel a previously announced exam and within what time frame must this be done?

  Filing an application for refusal to participate in the Unified State Examination in individual academic subjects is not provided for by the procedure for conducting state final certification. You can simply not show up for the exam.

  1. Can participants with disabilities choose 3 exams for GIA-9 (Russian, mathematics and one of their choice)?

  No. The procedure stipulates that such exam participants pass GIA-9 either in 4 academic subjects or in 2 compulsory academic subjects.

  1. If in our school instead of chemistry, physics and biology the subject is natural science (chemistry, physics and biology are not separate subjects), can my child take the Unified State Exam in chemistry and biology?

  Maybe. The order defines a list of academic subjects that can be taken as an elective, regardless of whether you have studied or not. Elective subjects are taken to provide their results upon admission to universities.

  1. If I took the same subject two years in a row and got a lower score this year, can I use last year's result?

  Yes. When applying to a university, you indicate the outcome you want.

  1. Do the deadlines for issuing Unified State Exam results depend on the region in which the exam was taken?

  The deadlines for centralized inspection at the federal level are the same. After centralized verification and processing at the federal level, the results of the Unified State Examination are transferred to the State Examination Committee of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The State Examination Committee approves the results within one working day following the day of their receipt and transmits them within one working day to educational organizations, which in turn notify the Unified State Exam participants also within one working day.

  Thus, there may be a difference in the date of issuance of results, but no more than one day, based on the efficiency of the region’s work in approving the results and transferring them to schools.

  1. Is it possible to use a copy of the education document instead of the original when registering for the Unified State Exam?

  Graduates of previous years may present original educational documents or their certified copies when submitting an application.

  1. What to do if passing the Unified State Exam coincides with passing exams in another country?

  In this case, the Unified State Exam schedule provides reserve days. It is necessary to provide information to the state examination commission so that it can assign the graduate another day to take the Unified State Exam, provided for by the unified schedule.

  1. What calculator can you use on the Unified State Exam?

  The use of a non-programmable calculator is permitted, which must provide arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, root extraction) and calculation of trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tg, ctg, arcsin, arccos, arctg).

  The calculator should not provide the ability to store in its memory databases of exam tasks and their solutions, as well as any other information, the knowledge of which is directly or indirectly tested in the exam.

  The calculator must not provide the ability to obtain external information during the exam. The communication capabilities of the calculator should not allow wireless exchange of information with any external sources.

  The use of a calculator in the mathematics exam is not permitted.

  1. Do I have the right to take the Unified State Exam in Spanish if only English was studied at school?

  You have the right to take the Unified State Exam in a subject that you did not study at school.

  1. Who has the right to apply to participate in the Unified State Exam if the participant himself, for some reason, does not have this opportunity?

  There are several ways to apply for participation in the Unified State Exam: in person; parents (legal representatives); by other persons on the basis of a power of attorney (relevant for foreign citizens and military personnel).

  1. Where should I go to receive a notification for the Unified State Examination?

  You must contact the place of registration for taking the Unified State Exam; as a rule, notifications are issued directly at the school or at the regional information processing center.

  1. What documents must be submitted to register for the Unified State Exam for college students who want to take the Unified State Exam but have not yet received a diploma?

  When submitting an application, they must present a passport and a certificate from the educational organization in which they are studying, confirming the development of educational programs of secondary general education or the completion of educational programs of secondary general education in the current academic year.

  1. Where can I find out the results of the Unified State Exam from previous years?

  It is necessary to contact the RCIO at the place of registration for taking the Unified State Exam with an application to provide information about the results of the Unified State Exam passed in previous years.

  • 1. What goals do you think should be served by monitoring studies assessing the quality of education? How and for what should the results of regional monitoring be used in educational organizations?

    First of all, the results can and should be used to identify problem areas, develop programs to improve the quality of education, and training programs for specialists in the field of education. They can also be used for an objective assessment of the results obtained at the school level with subsequent work on a program for the development of education in the region. After all, if according to all monitoring a school shows poor results, then it needs help!

    1. My child participated in NIKO (5th grade testing in mathematics). We got the results, but I would like to see a proven work. Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

    It is possible to see work and scores. The verification took place remotely in electronic form, so the verification itself is impossible to see. To get acquainted with the work and results of the inspection, you can contact Rosobrnadzor or use the contacts on the website eduniko.ru.

    • 1. If schools conduct All-Russian testing on their own, won’t this lead to falsification of results and distortion of students’ real knowledge? After all, low grades of student work will have a bad impact on the image of the school?

      All-Russian testing works (VPR) are diagnostic works that are carried out to assess the individual achievements of schoolchildren, and their integral results can be used to formulate development programs for the education systems of municipalities and regions. The direct organizer of the VPR will be the school itself, with the coordination of the municipality and the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. At the federal level, the development of unified versions of test work is ensured in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards, with the further formation of a unified bank of tasks. Here, rather, it’s the other way around - a negative result will be a sign that the school, diagnosing itself honestly, needs help in developing measures to overcome the identified difficulties and forming a development program.

      1. How often will inspection work be carried out?

      2 times a year (autumn and spring).

      1. Will it be possible to see the results of the testing work?

      All-Russian testing is carried out by the school. Therefore, the work can be viewed at school.

      1. This academic year it is planned to conduct All-Russian testing in grades 4-5 (hereinafter referred to as VPR). Based on the results of the VPR, is it possible to obtain the results of verification work for the subject or municipality? Will it be possible to evaluate school results at the city, region, and country level?

      Yes, there is such a possibility.

      1. Is the possibility of introducing a final assessment in grades 4, similar to final exams in grades 9 and 11, being considered?

      No. The school itself determines the form of intermediate certification for 4th grade students.

      1. Are there plans to introduce final certification (mini Unified State Exam) in 4 grades?
      
      

The Unified State Exam is an important test for high school students. How their future will turn out depends on him. But it happens that a graduate fails to score the required number of points. What can be done in this case? Is it possible to retake the Unified State Exam?

Fortunately, you have the opportunity to retake the exam, more than once. However, this can be done if only one of the two compulsory subjects is passed unsatisfactorily. If you are unlucky in two disciplines, you can try your luck only next year.

So, if a child fails one mandatory exam, a second attempt to successfully pass the final test can be made on additional days. Information about specific days for retaking mathematics and the Russian language is published long before the start of the Unified State Examination, along with the dates of the main tests. Therefore, you need to gather your thoughts and mobilize all your strength to successfully complete the verification work a second time. There is very little time to prepare and eliminate knowledge gaps revealed during the exam. In this case, most likely, you will have to look for an experienced USE expert tutor and prepare for a retake under his guidance. Where can I find such a teacher? Contact reliable supplementary education organizations that have proven themselves with many years of successful practice in preparing students for the Unified State Exam and Unified State Exam.

In mathematics, you can take a basic or specialized level, depending on what is needed to further continue your studies at a university or technical school. Anyone can retake. If the profile is flunked, teachers will recommend that the child stop at the basic level. But the final choice is left to the graduate himself.

But what if the second attempt was unsuccessful? The situation is very unpleasant, difficult, stressful. Moreover, not only the graduate is in such a depressed state, but also his relatives, acquaintances, and friends. After all, everyone understands the fateful significance of this test.

Now there is another chance to successfully write the Unified State Examination in the fall. The dates for retaking mathematics or the Russian language are again published in advance, along with the main and additional periods. Therefore, both children and parents, looking at the schedule, can immediately make sure that there are several opportunities to pass a particular subject. So in 2016, the third time the Unified State Exam can be taken in September: 10 – mathematics, 17 – Russian language.

A successful retake in the fall does not deprive the graduate of the opportunity to enter the coveted university or technical school, since the results are valid for four years. It will only be possible to try your luck to enroll, continue your studies and obtain your coveted specialty only next year. In this case, it is important not to let the child completely relax and abandon his studies. Otherwise, it will be difficult to study, especially in the first year, because much of what you learned at school will be completely forgotten during this time. There are many options: study on your own, attend courses at your chosen educational institution or at a further education institution.

It is allowed to retake disciplines even if you are not satisfied with the number of points. The child has time to calmly, thoroughly, purposefully prepare and try to pass the exam next year with the best result.

What about the subjects chosen by the graduates themselves to take the exams? They can also be retaken only next year.

Graduates who did not appear for the exam on the days of the main exam due to health reasons and provided official documents confirming this fact, can retake mandatory and independently chosen disciplines in the year of graduation.

He wants to clarify things for school graduates. The fact is that there are many articles circulating on the Internet that contain incorrect information about the procedure for retaking exams. Various sources claim, in particular, that participants in the Unified State Exam 2016 can retake any subjects in the fall of the same year, both if they do not achieve the minimum number of points, and if they want to improve their results for admission to the desired university.

How will the USE retake 2016 actually take place?

You need to focus on the official legal document, which is called: “The procedure for conducting state final certification for educational programs of secondary general education.” Approved by Order No. 1400 dated December 26, 2013. Despite the date of adoption, it is still in effect and determines the life of eleventh graders on the days of exams.

Article 33 of this document clearly states that this year only “students who received an unsatisfactory result in one of the compulsory subjects at the State Examination Examination” are allowed to retake the additional exams. And this applies only to eleventh graders: graduates of previous years will be able to retake one of the mandatory exams only next year.

Therefore, we draw a disappointing conclusion, unfortunately for many. This year, 2016, forgives only one failure of only one of the required subjects. You cannot retake any subject for better grades.

It is worth mentioning separately the case of mathematics. There are four options:

You only took the basic exam and failed. In this case, you can retake mathematics in the fall. Moreover, for retaking you can choose both a basic level and a profile one.

If you only took a specialized exam and did not pass. In this case, you can also choose any of the levels and retake it in the fall.

If you took both the basic and specialized exams, but failed the specialized one. In this case, you do not have the right to retake the exam in the fall, since it is considered that you have received the minimum score.

If you took both the basic and advanced exams and failed both. You can retake any level of the math exam in the fall.

When will it be possible to take any Unified State Exams to improve your grades?

Apparently this will become possible next year. In September, the Ministry of Education and Science plans to adopt amendments to the legislation, according to which students will be able to retake any exams for any outcome of the first test up to three times this year. But these wonderful innovations will come to us only in 2017 (and not yet exactly).

If an eleventh grader does not score the minimum required for a positive grade in one of the required subjects (Russian language or mathematics at a basic or specialized level), he can take the exam again. This can be done on the reserve days provided for by the unified exam schedule. And, if successful, the graduate has every chance of entering a university in the year of graduation.

If unsatisfactory result again– you can try to pass the exam again, in additional autumn terms. In this case, there will no longer be a chance of entering a university - but a school leaving certificate (which is not issued in the case of a “D” in one of the required subjects) will allow you to continue your studies at a college or technical school.

It should be noted that:

• graduates who do not meet the threshold in two compulsory subjects at once do not have the right to retake the Unified State Exam this year - they will have to continue the struggle to obtain a certificate in a year;


• if a graduate has passed mathematics at both the basic and specialized levels and has passed the threshold for at least one of these exams, the exam is considered passed;


• retaking the Unified State Examination in mathematics is possible both at the basic and at the specialized level (at the choice of the examinee);


• Graduates of previous years do not have the opportunity to retake an exam that they passed unsatisfactorily.

Graduates who do not score the minimum number of points in their elective exams will be able to retake the exam only next year.

Who else has the right to retake the Unified State Exam in additional terms?

Unified State Exam participants who started taking the exam but were unable to complete the test for a valid reason, documented, have the right to retake the exam on reserve days. The most common case is a deterioration in health during the exam (the fact of illness must be recorded by a doctor).

In addition, those who during the exam encountered technical and organizational “overlaps” at the Unified State Examination point (for example, lack of additional forms, power outages, etc.) have the right to retake the exam. In addition, if the organizers of the Unified State Exam committed violations in the conduct of the exam, the results of all participants may be canceled and the tests will have to be repeated.

Note! If a Unified State Exam participant is removed from the classroom for using a phone or caught trying to cheat, his results are canceled, and the right to retake the exam at additional times is not granted - and he will be able to try his luck again only after a year.

Who can improve their exam results this year?

Only graduates of previous years have the opportunity to improve their exam results without waiting for next year - they can retake the Russian language or specialized mathematics in additional autumn terms.

Many people believe that a Unified State Exam participant who has passed the threshold but did not pass the exams well enough can, of his own choice, retake one of the exams in order to improve his scores. Unfortunately, this is a myth - for such cases, the rules for passing the Unified State Exam do not provide for a second attempt.

Is it possible to retake the Unified State Exam in a year?

The right to retake the Unified State Exam for people who have already graduated from school is practically unlimited. After a year, you can retake the Unified State Exam in any number of subjects – both compulsory and elective.

By this time, a former student has already received the status of a “graduate of previous years” and can:

• improve your result in a single subject by retaking only it (the results of other tests are valid for four years);


• retake all subjects;


• change your “profile” and take exams in other disciplines;


• If the university admissions committee awards additional points for your final essay, you can retake it too.

Graduates of previous years can take exams either in the early or in the main period - at their own choice, but they cannot take exams twice in one year.

Is it possible to retake the Unified State Exam if I have already entered a university?

You can retake the Unified State Exam more than once, regardless of how long ago you graduated from school. This can be done by students, graduates of technical schools and lyceums, and people who already have higher education.

Therefore, if a graduate did not get enough points for admission to the “dream university” and took the documents to a less prestigious educational institution, or was disappointed in the chosen field of study and wants to radically change the field of study, student status will not become an obstacle.

The only “but”: when applying to take the Unified State Exam, a graduate of previous years must present a school leaving certificate - and the original documents are kept at the university. In this case, you need to clarify in advance with the dean’s office what you will need in order to temporarily receive a document on education. As a rule, universities issue original certificates against receipt for a short period of time without any problems. When submitting documents to retake the Unified State Exam, the certificate is not submitted, but only presented - so it is enough to receive it in your hands for just one day.
