Unified State Exam (Russian: Единый государственный экзамен, ЕГЭ, Yediniy gosudarstvenniy ekzamen, EGE) is an exam in the Russian Federation. It is the exam that every student must pass after graduation from school to enter a university or a professional college. Since 2009, EGE is the only form of graduation examinations in schools and the main form of preliminary examinations in universities. A student can pass EGE in Russian language, mathematics, foreign languages (English, German, French, Spanish), physics, chemistry, biology, geography, literature, history, basics of social sciences and computing science.[1][2][3] EGE in Russian language and mathematics are obligatory; that means that every student needs to get the necessary results in these subjects to enter any Russian university.
The Unified State Exam (EGE by Russian) introduced in Russia in 2001 only as educational experiment.
EGE consists of three parts (except the ones in mathematics and literature): A, B and C.
The A part contains tasks in which student must choose an answer from four variants. The mathematical test no longer contains the A part.
The B part contains tasks in which student must answer briefly with several words, letters or numbers.
The C part contains one or several tasks in which student must use his creativity to complete them. For example, he can be given a hard mathematical exercise to solve, a composition to write or a question to answer argumentatively. Unlike the two previous parts, which are checked by a computer, the C part is checked by the experts of the regional examination committee.
