A list of key points to pay attention to when filing an appeal.
Started passing the Unified State Exam and the first results will appear soon. Some of the graduates will breathe a sigh of relief when they see them, while others will think that in fact he deserves more, and the grade given by the inspectors does not reflect his real level of knowledge. What to do in this case?
The answer lies on the surface - graduates who want to challenge the result of the Unified State Examination can resort to an appeal - a procedure aimed at protecting the rights of examinees. Whether or not to do this is ultimately a personal matter. On the one hand, this, of course, is additional stress and risk. But sometimes one or two extra points can be decisive when entering a university, and therefore there are always those who are ready to go all the way.
In what cases can you file an appeal?
There are two such cases. The first is challenging the exam procedure itself, violations of which led to the fact that you were unable to write the exam as successfully as possible.
The second option is to challenge the points received on the Unified State Exam. Let's look at each of the options listed above in a little more detail.
Appeal in case of violation of the Unified State Examination procedure
In this case, the appeal must be filed immediately after the end of the exam, and before the student leaves the class. The application must be written in two copies - the first of them goes to the conflict commission, and the second remains with the graduate. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that a member of the examination committee puts a note on the application that the document has been accepted for consideration.
The application must also be registered in a special journal and reviewed within two days after submission. The date, place and time of the procedure must be communicated to the student and his parents or legal representatives.
As a result, the commission may satisfy the student’s demands, or, on the contrary, decide that they are groundless. A positive decision by the commission means that the result of the work will be canceled, and the student will be able to rewrite the Unified State Examination - special days are allocated for this in the schedule. If the decision is negative, the exam result remains unchanged.
Appeal in case of disagreement with the results of the Unified State Exam
In this case, the appeal must be submitted within two working days from the announcement of the Unified State Examination results in the subject. As in the previous case, you will need to write two copies of the application, sending one of them to the conflict commission, and keeping the second for yourself. The application must be marked with a note that it has been drawn up in accordance with the form and has been accepted for consideration.
The decision to hold an appeal must be made no later than 4 working days after the conflict commission receives such an application. Each application goes through a registration procedure, and information regarding the date, time and place of the appeal is communicated to the student (his parents or legal representatives).
During the appeal, the student must be shown a package of his documents and the written conclusion of the commission on the subject. At this stage, you need to be especially careful: the student will have to sign that, for example, the scanned work with answers belongs to him. Members of the appeal committee must give a clear answer as to why certain points were assigned. The procedure usually takes no more than 20 minutes per student. Based on its results, the commission can make the following decisions:
- reject the student’s requests and retain the assigned points if no technical or other errors were found during the assessment process;
- satisfy the appeal and change the points if errors were identified. It should be remembered that points can be revised in either direction (increased or decreased).
What is important to do before appealing?
First of all, you need to refresh your memory of your work as much as possible in order to have arguments to defend your own point of view.
You should also carefully read the scoring criteria to understand how objective you consider the commission’s decision on each point;
go to the subject teacher or tutor with whom you prepared for the Unified State Exam - they will help you sort out ambiguous points and give recommendations on how to behave and explain your opinion.
It is also important that for each point with which you disagree, it is necessary to formulate an exact question to the commission in advance so that the conversation is substantive in nature, and you can explain why you did it this way and not differently. Argumentation supported by specific facts always looks more compelling.
How to behave during an appeal?
Here's some advice:
First, go to the appeal with a parent or other adult who can represent you. Yesterday's schoolchild will most likely be at a loss in the face of a conflict commission. In addition, he may be given an answer that is devoid of specifics. Mom, dad or another loved one will help you feel much more confident, and their opinions and arguments can play a decisive role in the dispute.
Second: insist that the work be rechecked in your presence. Quite often, a graduate is told that the work has already been rechecked, and the commission decided to leave the result unchanged. Remember that this state of affairs grossly violates your rights - an appeal in absentia is possible only if the student and his representatives simply did not appear for the procedure. The final decision on the work must be made in the presence of the appellant, and the members of the commission must explain each point deducted.
Third: do not leave the appeal venue until a comprehensive explanation of the work and decision of the commission is given. All underestimated scores must meet the criteria for evaluating the work, so do not accept as an answer the general formulation that the scores for the solved CMM are already high enough. Until you are satisfied with the explanation for each point deducted, do not sign the appeal paperwork.
Fourth: don't give up halfway. If you have already decided to appeal, then, by and large, there is nothing to lose.
Fifth: don't be afraid of an appeal. Behave calmly and confidently. Take this procedure as an opportunity to defend your interests. Remember that a significant portion of students who are not happy with their results are simply afraid to appeal so as not to lose the points they have earned. Of course, if a member of the commission finds additional errors during verification, the points may be revised downwards. However, general statistics indicate that scores are usually raised more often than scores are lowered.
The field, the duel - all these are historically state-sanctioned ways to determine justice when it is impossible to do this in any other way. Verbal dispute, appeal! How many such fights took place throughout the country in the fight for Unified State Examination points-2015 in social studies! Our story is about some of them.

Appeal against Unified State Exam results
So, the Unified State Exam 2015 is in full swing. The main days of exams have ended and the reserve days have begun. Unified State Exam scores are being calculated throughout the country. Organs state power- average (according to preliminary estimates, for example, in the Russian language, specialized mathematics and social studies, they increased by an average of 3 points). Graduates who have received all the results are general for admission (universities are already accepting documents). And some are preparing to revise them. That is, to the appeal.
What is an appeal? This is a verbal duel between the graduate and the experts who checked the work. Humanities subjects—especially history and social studies—often contain in the form of answers not dogmas, but assumptions and theories. And the appeal often turns into a conversation... what did you mean?(as the popular song sang).
As we see, a Unified State Exam participant can not only increase, but also has a chance of losing points as a result of consideration of his work in the written part 2. Since last year, by the way, But... more on that another time. The appeal procedure itself, by the way, gives rise to completely different assessments... One gets the impression that sometimes it depends on personal discretion (or arbitrariness) on the ground. For example, look at the interesting comments on our post about Yes, and the graduates themselves are therefore simply guessing about what awaits them behind closed doors during the appeal. Here is an example of one of the “outreach efforts” on social networks:
As we can see, preparation for an appeal begins long before the exam results are received. You need to seriously prepare for it. After all, Unified State Exam statistics show that only less than 10% of those who filed an appeal can count on it being at least partially satisfied.
What do the statistics say?
Let's look at the statistics of our group subscribers
.So, how did our subscribers pass the Unified State Exam 2015 in social studies?
Average taller than guys in the country(so far the average score announced by Rosobrnadzor without taking into account those who took the test in the reserve and the appeal (in which, however, little changes globally) is 56.65. And approximately 60% of our subscribers, who prepared using materials from the site and the group, passed in the range from 60 to 80 points, more than 20% are high-scorers (more than 80 points!).
What do our statistics say about appeals to the Unified State Exam in Social Studies 2015?
The result of the appeal to the Unified State Exam 2015 in social studies. Survey http://vk.com/egewin
Of those who voted, 90% simply did not go to appeal. For different reasons. However about 10% managed to defend from 1 to 3 of their which can then give a decent increase in test score on a 100-point scale.
Unconstructive approach to appealing the Unified State Exam result
Do you need to fight for your points? We think YES! Although, there is an opinion that this is often useless. However, it is possible to convince experts if the scores are truly low (and this is the result of natural subjectivity, the human factor, the expert’s fatigue and a whole range of reasons). For example, here is my dialogue with a graduate Alisa Marisova, managed to defend as many as 3 primary points!
Here is an example of a different attitude towards the appeal procedure.
Many graduates understand that an appeal, competently prepared with the help consultations with an Unified State Examination expert, may allow them to get a score or two that is important for admission. But... this is the time and effort of the expert, and may be his paid service. Another dialogue in the studio (with Evgenia Zemlyanskaya). Please check the essay:
A small note for infantile graduates. Analyzing your essay is the responsibility of your social studies teacher. I don’t owe you anything, agree? Now multiply the number of requests like yours to me by the proportion of those taking the Unified State Exam in Society in Russia?
Learn to respect other people's work and know that in adult life, where you go out, you have to pay for everything.
A constructive approach to appealing the Unified State Exam result
But now there is a different appeal to the expert, and a completely different attitude towards the need for an appeal, an understanding of its extreme importance for the final result, admission. Note that Elya Karpaeva— first-year student, studying in Vladivostok. Last year I couldn’t pass the budget test, and I’m trying again to get the score required to get into the budget test this year! She passed the Unified State Exam 2015 in social studies 82 points(25 above the Russian average!).
Note that in test part 1 the graduate lost only 1 point! Things were a little worse in For which Elya was going to fight with my help! At the same time, it’s nice when they say thank you for your work (Elya used the author in preparation):
Analysis of responses and choice of appeal strategy
Let's look at the forms of part 2 of the graduate that she received in her personal account on the technical support resource for the Unified State Exam-2015:
We note the large amount of work done by the applicant, good readable handwriting and absolutely correct formatting of answers: where necessary, the conditions of the task are written out, making the expert’s work as easy as possible. Such work usually only makes you want to meet the graduate halfway!
So, we didn’t have the text or assignments for it, so we decided to leave assignment 30, the wording of which the applicant did not remember. Our focus was on the tasks
A big mistake. on this Don't argue with anything; an appeal here is pointless.
Task 34
One of the points was not awarded for this task, the maximum being 3.
Task 34
On 34, to be honest, I don’t understand what they found fault with. That's right, you cited all three signs of this type of society. Maybe it just sounds a little vague "increasing life expectancy." Formally, it also happens in comparison with But, you specify *developed medicine (ideally, of course, it would be nice to add that medicine is capable of defeating previously incurable diseases - cancer, AIDS).
Here need to fight. Now let us give an example for argumentation about the development of medicine in an industrial society.
In the USSR by 1960, there were 20 doctors per 10 thousand people, in the RSFSR - 19.3, in Western Siberia only 15.5. Science Library dissertations and abstracts disserCat http://www.dissercat.com/content/razvitie-zdravookhra..(Development of healthcare in the cities of Western Siberia (1946-1960) dissertation for the degree of candidate of historical sciences. Dudkina M.P.).
2010 Among countries with the largest number Doctors per capita Russia, according to WHO data, ranks fifth - for every 10 thousand Russians there are 42 doctors with higher education.
That is, we compare the indicators of industrial (1960) and societies (2010).
The mobility of industrial society is massive. For example, mass movement to cities, migration to the New World (USA of the 19th century).
No, I'm not talking about that. It is clear that there are more mobility channels and access to them is also wider. The industrial social man is tied to the machine. The mobility of post-industrial society is individual. The means of transport are much more developed. Internet is added. It allows a person, creating an information product, to do work while traveling, changing countries around the world. An example from life is the phenomenon of freelancing. This is how creators of information and information products do their work and earn money - web designers, people of liberal professions. We are much more mobile than people were 20-30 years ago.
The final arguments of the members of the conflict commission turned out to be more than paradoxical:
1. Russia is not a post-industrial society (!!!).2. Theory is not connected with practice (!!!).
Well, it shows complete incompetence and the inability to move away from the mental pattern, closed-mindedness, to put it simply. An attempt to argue the point here failed.
It's a complicated plan. And again we are fighting for 1 point that was not given.
What confuses me first of all is the structure of your plan. It looks like a frantic attempt to throw everything you know about onto paper. And the structure and its consistency is one of the key evaluation criteria.
Ideally it could look like this:
1. The concept of “power”
2. Types of power:
- political
— economic
- military
- spiritual
- informational
3. Signs of political power:
- sovereignty
- legitimacy
- concentration in the hands of the state
- monopoly on the legal use of force
- monopoly on the publication of laws
4. We would match
So, they could reduce it for: 1. lack of information about other types of power; 2. Lack of structure in the answer (for example, the concept definitely does not need to be disclosed); 3. Point “principles of existence”. For example, subparagraph b) effectiveness. Are political reforms, for example, always effective? 4. An important point about the state and its role was “hidden” at the end and not disclosed. And they should have been brought to the fore.
This is called a structural approach. If political is a type of power, you need to start with power. You can try to appeal to the plan, but I don’t think there will be any results.
And, indeed, according to the applicant, the experts on the conflict commission were even going to reduce the score (they have the right!!!).

Check if your points are enough for admission to the budget.
Try to avoid an appeal
To avoid the need to appeal the exam results, you need to clearly formulate the solution to the problems with a detailed answer and enter the answers to the problems of the test part into the form, following simple rules:
- Each designation you entered during the solution must be explained (for example, “Let V be the volume of the immersed part of the body...”) so that the examiner does not guess what exactly you designated with this or that letter, because if he does not guess your idea - then you will not receive points.
- Before applying a mathematical theorem or physical law, it is very advisable to write their names (for example, “By the theorem of sines for triangle ABC...” or “From the condition of equilibrium of the load...”). This rule is of particular importance in qualitative problems in physics - there, according to assessment criteria, points can be given for mentioning certain laws.
- It is not advisable to use facts that are not included in school curriculum, without proof, as points may be deducted for this. But any facts from official school textbooks can be used without proof, simply by mentioning the name of the theorem or law.
There are other rules for making decisions, full list Your tutor will give you the information during your consultation.
Appeal procedure
If you still get fewer points than you expected, it’s time to prepare for your defense. You have three days to file an appeal: the one when you found out the results, and two more subsequent days - they must be working. I advise you to take a time out to calmly review your work and weigh the chances of success.
The appeal form will be issued at the school - be sure to check the box next to the item about personal presence at the meeting of the conflict commission.
Your appeal should be considered within four working days, the date will be announced in advance, but be prepared for the fact that this could happen tomorrow and there will be little time left to prepare a clear and reasoned speech in defense of your points.
Make an appeal plan
If you believe you deserve more points than you received, start preparing for an appeal. First, you need to download a scan of your work, re-solve the problem again and compare the new solution with the scan - an independent solution often helps to identify errors.
Then download the rubric and review your work from an expert's perspective. If you've been studying for an exam with a tutor, be sure to discuss your exam paper with them! You must fully understand the task in case you are asked tricky questions during the appeal in order to understand how consciously you wrote this or that phrase.
The most important thing is to build an appeal plan: what exactly will you defend, and what issues are best not to raise (if your decision contains dubious statements). Careful preparation for an appeal is half the success.
The second half is the willpower demonstrated by the student during the appeal itself. Almost always, the student finds himself alone against several experts who support each other. The tutor is unlikely to be able to go with you even with a notarized power of attorney from your parents, so immediately get ready to defend your position alone.
Prepare yourself psychologically
Unfortunately, appeals for the Unified State Exam differ from appeals for All-Russian Olympiads(I have had the opportunity to be both on the side of the participant and on the side of the jury in almost a hundred Olympiads) with less goodwill and more formalism. And these formal rules lead to the fact that experts are interested in leaving the scores unchanged, since each change in scores is associated with a certain bureaucracy - for example, re-checking the quality of the experts’ work by higher authorities.
To reduce the number of cases of points being changed, some experts may even use incorrect techniques, for example, intimidating students by saying that they will now recheck all the work and will definitely find something to remove points for. Although in last years appeals under the Unified State Examination are carried out much more correctly than before; such psychological pressure from experts is not excluded.
If before the appeal you have discussed all the tasks in detail with a tutor, such threats will not frighten you: you will know how to answer tricky questions about any phrase in your decisions.
Important! You need to know two things about threats to deduct points: firstly, there are very few cases of its implementation even throughout the country, and secondly, deduction of points is also a change in the exam result, which experts do not need at all, that is, this threat is a bluff with the purpose of convincing the student to abandon the appeal.
If the appeal does not help
There are situations when you are confident that you are right, but the expert refuses to give points for some of his reasons. Then it’s time to remember about the “heavy artillery”, that is, about the possibility of appealing to the conflict commission, which should be at every appeal point.
Passing the Unified State Exam is half the battle. But waiting for exam results often seems long and painful. After all, every graduate is afraid of receiving less than expected scores for the Unified State Exam. However, you can get a low grade not only because of an incorrect answer. So in what cases can you question a low score and file an appeal? Let's figure it out together. What is the reason for appealing the results of the Unified State Exam?There are currently several reasons for appeal.
Firstly, the reason may be violations in the exam itself - the procedure for conducting the Unified State Exam. For example, if during the exam it was noisy in the office or in the corridor, or there were not enough work forms or drafts for all those taking the test, which the inspectors are required to provide before the start of the final work. In these cases, the appeal must be filed on the same day, without leaving the school where the Unified State Exam is being held.
Secondly, the most important and common reason for an appeal may be disagreement with the points awarded for the final work. This does not mean that you can come with an unfounded claim. If a graduate comes and complains about bad questions, then no one will listen to him. Here we are talking about cases where the computer incorrectly recognized the answer in the test part. Or when an expert made a mistake while checking the work and made a mistake himself. In this case, the appeal must be filed within two working days after the publication of official data on the Unified State Examination. Here it is worth understanding that you should not wait until the school posts lists of exam results. They may not do it right away. Official data is published on the website of the Unified State Exam. It is worth checking the results there as often as possible.
In other cases, the appeal will not even be considered.
When it is pointless to challenge the results of the Unified State Exam:
· If there is a complaint about the assignment itself (for example, when the graduate did not understand the essence of the question);
· If the student himself violated the rules of taking the exam (for example, he came to the Unified State Examination with a phone, cheated or talked during the exam);
· If the final work was not completed according to the rules.
· If the graduate does not agree with the results of the test part. An appeal is only possible if the computer has incorrectly recognized something.
How is an appeal filed?
The application itself is drawn up in several copies: the student keeps one for himself, the other must be given to the head of the commission for signature (often this is the director of the school where the Unified State Exam is taken). Then one copy is sent to the conflict commission. It is there that the validity of the appeal is decided and further fate student's examination work.
If a graduate files an appeal due to a violation of the exam, recordings from CCTV cameras that were in the classroom at the time of the Unified State Exam are reviewed. Observers and assistants are also interviewed. If there really were violations, the commission records them and cancels the results of the final work. Then the student must retake the exam in reserve days. The conflict commission also has certain deadlines. Thus, they are required to make a decision on the work about which the complaint was received within two working days from the date of receipt of the application.
If a graduate has complaints about the points assigned for the work, the commission has four working days to consider. If a student does not agree with the results of the test part, which is checked by a computer, then specialists independently check the work. After which the results are updated; in fact, the presence of the graduate himself is not required here. If the appeal is filed on the oral or written part, then the student is given the entire package of documents: a copy of the work (the original is not issued), audio recordings of the answers, as well as protocols with grades and all notes and notes. Although when a student submits his examination paper, he must also submit a draft, in the event of an appeal it will not be considered. Therefore, if a graduate wrote down all the answers on a draft and did not have time to transfer them to a special form, filing a complaint and trying to challenge the results is useless.
What arguments should be used on appeal?
The commission sets the time and place for the appeal. It is necessary to prepare for this moment in advance and thoroughly. Since a student can come with his parents or guardians, but the teacher simply won’t let him in. Therefore, you need to discuss all the details and arguments with him separately. And you won’t be able to come up with it on the fly - a maximum of 20 minutes is allotted for a conversation with a student. It is important to immediately emphasize that the final work meets all the requirements. To do this, you also need to find out in advance all the work criteria, which are described in detail on the website of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements.
After the conversation, the commission makes a decision. The results of the work can really change if there was a technical error (computer error), or incorrect assessment of the work by experts. However, it is worth remembering that specialists can either raise or subtract points for work. Therefore, you need to think about whether it is worth the risk. Experts note that most often the so-called medalists and olympiad winners file an appeal - those graduates who need to score at least 75 points in order to confirm their knowledge and receive benefits when entering a university.
How many points on the Unified State Exam can be added through an appeal?
On average, using an appeal you can add from one to three points for an exam. This can be done mainly through the test part. But written or oral part The work is checked by seasoned experts who rarely make mistakes - it is much more difficult to “knock out” points and prove that you are right. Although, throughout the existence of the Unified State Exam in Russia, there have been cases when students defended their position and raised their Unified State Exam results by 10 points.
Let us remind you that graduates are already in full swing. IN Saratov region The Unified State Exam began on May 27. And the first compulsory subject, Russian language, schoolchildren.

7. The child passed the Unified State Exam in Russian with 82 points. An appeal was filed. There is not a single mistake in the work, but the commission said that the score would not be increased and that there was no point in complaining to a higher authority. We would like to write to the Ministry of Education and Science on how to do this correctly.
7.1. The Unified State Exam participant has the right to file an appeal: about violation of the established procedure for conducting the Unified State Exam - on the day of the exam after passing the Unified State Exam forms before leaving the PPE for disagreement with the Unified State Exam results - within 2 business days after the official announcement of the exam results and the Unified State Exam participant familiarization with them
There is no penalty for filing an appeal.
Drawing up an appeal is a paid service

8. Wrote the Unified State Examination in literature. I got very low scores... The children got about the same for half the exam. One of my essays was canceled as if I had never written it. During the appeal, they agreed with my arguments, but refused to add even one point. When there was nothing to object to, they simply said that the work was checked by highly qualified experts and there was no point in coming to appeal. If I didn’t move away from the topic, I provided quotes and arguments in my work, then how can I give zero points for this? Can I further challenge the result and where?
8.1. In court, where else, an appeal - “a raven can’t peck out a crow’s eye.”
