The National English Examination is one of the options for a selective foreign language exam. Its structure, complexity and content is no different from German, French or Spanish, which can also be chosen for passing. At the same time, it is worth noting the undoubted popularity of the English language - official statistics show that about 9% of graduates annually want to take it. Examination in a foreign language cannot be called simple. For example, we can cite the following fact: two years ago, about 70,000 students took the English language, while only 11 students scored the maximum number of points (100)!

English remains the most popular elective language subject

Exam Changes

Recall that since last year, the foreign language exam has become much more difficult - in addition to the test part, which provides for written answers, the Ministry of Education decided to introduce an additional oral part. The explanatory note from the Ministry says that the student is free to decide whether he will pass "speaking", but it is quite natural that without this component, one cannot count on the maximum number of points. Written and oral testing in English are taken in two days.

80 points were assigned to the written part; for speaking you will get another 20

General information

The duration of the written examination in a foreign language is 180 minutes, during which the future applicant must complete a significant number of tasks - 46. The examination ticket consists of four components:

Listening, which contains 9 tasks (as practice shows, students should not spend more than 80-90 minutes on this part);
Reading, in which the graduate is asked to complete 9 tasks. The first part, which includes 2 tasks, is quite simple - you need to be able to establish a correspondence. The second part (that is, 7 more tasks) involves choosing the correct answer. Students should not spend more than half an hour on this part of the ticket;
The section on grammar and vocabulary includes the largest number of tasks - 20. The first part consists of 13 tasks that provide a short answer. The remaining 7 tasks involve choosing and writing down the correct answer. The implementation of this section is optimally invested in 40 minutes of time;
Writing, which consists of 2 tasks, which is a small written work. The first task is to write a personal letter (100-140 words). The second provides for a short written discussion on a specific topic and should consist of 200-250 words. It is not recommended to spend more than 70-80 minutes on this work. You can first do this type of work on a draft, but do not get carried away with a lengthy presentation of thoughts. If you do not have enough time to rewrite the tasks cleanly, your draft will not be graded.

The block called "speaking" consists of four components. Students will be asked to read a short passage of text, formulate questions for an interview, make up a story based on the image and give a comparative assessment of the two events captured in the photo.

How are points distributed?

When passing the written part of the exam, the student can score a maximum of 80 points. "Speaking" allows you to score up to 20 maximum points. Recall also that since 2015, the minimum score for this discipline has been increased and is 22 points.

At the exam in English you have to complete 46 tasks in 180 minutes

How to prepare?

Take advantage of the opportunity we offer and download a demo version of the trial English test for yourself (see the beginning of the article). So you can feel the atmosphere of the exam, assess your current readiness and tighten all weaknesses in advance. Please note that some of the tasks are formulated in English, so take care of their translation in advance so as not to fall into a stupor in the national exam.

Do not forget about the importance of listening preparation - listening to information is not as easy as it seems. Oral speech requires no less serious preparation, because you can write well, but you will not speak well without careful pronunciation. Download some easy-to-understand series or movies in English.

For starters, you can look for a version with subtitles. Gradually complicate the task - start listening to audiobooks (or excerpts from them). Pick up pictures from the Internet on various topics and try to describe them. At first, you will pick up words for a long time and look into the dictionary, but over time it will become easier for you to speak and understand foreign speech.

English is the most popular of the four languages that are taken as part of the exam. From testing in 2015, the current one is almost the same, with the exception of some improvements in the wording of the task of the oral part and the fact that the passing score for the entire exam has grown to 22 points against last year's 20. Passing English is no more difficult and no easier than German, French or Spanish . The structure of the USE in English also does not differ from the USE in other foreign languages.

Testing is spread over two days. On the first day, the student takes the compulsory written part, which consists of four sections:

listening;
reading;
grammar and vocabulary;
letter.

In total, there are 40 tasks in the written part, and 180 minutes are allotted for them. If desired, students can come to the second day of the exam and take the oral part, consisting of four tasks (to test speaking skills). You have 15 minutes to complete the oral exam.

It is worth noting that only for the written part you can get no more than 80 points.

The conditions for passing the test in 2019 do not differ from the conditions of the previous year. But before you start taking trial assignments and online tests, study the general information about the exam.

EGE assessment

To pass the exam, you need to correctly solve at least 17 tasks from section 3 or 2 and 3. This way you score 17 primary points, which, when translated into tests, give 22. Use our table to reflect your results in a convenient five-point assessment.
