It is difficult to say who exactly launched the “duck” on the Internet that since 2019 one of Unified State Examinations You can optionally retake it if you are not satisfied with the score you received. However, sites claiming that it is possible to retake the Unified State Exam with a higher score at the request of the graduate (supposedly this is an innovation for 2019) are multiplying like rabbits in the spring.
Don't believe it! Here's how things really are...
So, the graduate of 2019, as in previous years, must pass two mandatory exams - Russian language and mathematics. Moreover, a student can choose one of two levels of passing mathematics - profile or basic (last year it was possible to take both, but this year - only one of them).
” If the minimum number of points is not achieved in one of these exams, the graduate has the right to retake it on a reserve day. At the same time, those who “failed” the mathematics profile can lower the exam level to basic when retaking it.
If a graduate fails to retake the exam a second time, then the next retake will be only in the fall - in September. Then, in September, teenagers who failed both mandatory exams - Russian and mathematics - will be able to try their luck again.
If a student scores the minimum threshold points in the exam, but is dissatisfied with the result, he will only be able to retake the exam next year.
Schoolchildren are not required to take the remaining exams in 2019 - these are the so-called “optional exams.” If a student decides to take such an exam, then regardless of the result (he passed minimum threshold or not) he will be able to retake the exam only next year.
” So, let us repeat once again: this year you can only retake mathematics and the Russian language, and only if the results are below the “threshold” points required for issuing a certificate.
However, there are still several situations where it is possible to retake any exam in the current year.
Disease
A student may miss the main day of exams in case of illness (confirmation by a medical certificate is required). In this case, he takes the exam in one of reserve days.
” If a graduate’s health worsens during the exam, he must contact the teacher in the audience and report the need for medical assistance.
After graduating from school, exams are held in the form of the OGE (for graduation after 9th grade) and the Unified State Examination (after 11th grade). These exams are conducted to determine the quality of the student's knowledge. The assessment is in the form of the sum of points that the graduate was able to score based on the exam results. The points scored affect the receipt of a certificate and the possibility of further continuing education in secondary specialized or higher educational institutions.
There is a "threshold" of minimum scores to obtain a certificate. It is installed Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. If the sum of points is below the minimum established threshold, a certificate of secondary education is not issued. Instead, a school completion certificate is issued. (See "What are the minimum scores for a certificate and for admission to a university?")
Without a certificate, a graduate cannot continue his education. If he is not satisfied with this state of affairs, he can try to retake the OGE or the Unified State Exam in September. Unfortunately, this year he will no longer be able to enroll anywhere, even with a successful retake.
There are unforeseen circumstances that prevent exams from being completed on the allotted days. In such cases, an additional exam is held on reserve dates.
In what cases can you retake the exam?
A student has the right to retake if he did not have an objective opportunity to pass any of the exams, namely:
- the student did not come to the exam, or came to the exam, but was unable to finish it (for a good reason, confirmed by a document).
- the exam result was canceled due to the fact that one of the members of the examination committee (or another person in the audience who was not taking the exam) violated the procedure for conducting the exam.
- The appeal regarding violation of the procedure for conducting the exam was satisfied.
In these situations, the student has the right to retake any number of exams on reserve dates:
- OGE - from June 25 to July 2, 2019.
- Unified State Exam – from June 17 to July 1, 2019.
Retake the OGE
The right to retake is granted to a student who receives a grade below a C in one or two subjects. If he repeatedly fails to pass one or two exams on reserve dates, he has a third attempt on additional period. (See "How OGE scores are converted to a five-point system")

Retake the Unified State Exam
If a graduate does not score the minimum number of points to obtain a certificate in a mandatory exam, it can be retaken on reserve dates.

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

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.

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.

Maybe. The list is determined in order educational subjects, which can be taken as an elective, regardless of whether you have studied it or not. Elective subjects are taken to provide their results upon admission to universities. 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?

At this time, the state often increases the quota for the number of applicants, and applicants enrolled in this university may change their mind about enrolling. So you always have a small chance.
In addition, if admission to a university is critical, you can always go to a less prestigious one educational institution or try your hand at the evening/correspondence department of the same university.
