The abbreviation VPR (All-Russian Test Work) entered our lives in 2016. “Carry out a VPR”, “Prepare for a VPR”, “Cancel a VPR” sounds almost as familiar as “pass the Unified State Exam”. However, it does not prevent the reader from checking what he knows about VLOOKUP.
After the cancellation of final and intermediate exams (this happened in the 2000s), educational leaders lost the opportunity to make a continuous snapshot of schoolchildren’s knowledge. And only in 2016, in the wake of the success of the National Research on the Quality of Education, Russia decided to fill this gap with the help of uniform tests for the entire country.
Schools, municipalities and regional Departments of Education are recommended to analyze the results of the VPR and clarify whether the knowledge of schoolchildren corresponds to federal state standards.
Everything is fine, and everything is working. But this additional verification becomes a headache for teachers, parents and children.
NOT AN EXAM, BUT MONITORING
The All-Russian test is not an exam, but a monitoring that is carried out to determine the level of preparation of schoolchildren in all regions of Russia.
Therefore, VPR is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated January 27, 2017 No. 69 “On monitoring the quality of education.”
This is the youngest of the monitoring studies in education. He is only two years old. But during this time, 95/% of all Russian schoolchildren have already taken part in it.
By the way, saying “pass the VPR” is not accurate. It would be more correct to “write VLOOKUP”.
MANDATORY OR NOT?
VPRs were conceived for voluntary testing of schoolchildren’s knowledge.
Today, VPR subjects are divided into compulsory and optional.
Optional VPR subjects are tested in the testing mode: they are chosen by the school itself to check the level of preparation of students.
In 2018, All-Russian testing is mandatory for grades 4 and 5, but not for grades 6 and 11.
But even in optional subjects, you cannot refuse to participate in the VPR: this decision is made not by the student or his parents, but by the school.
However, in reality, the school does not always choose its own subjects. The most common choice is school.
The decision is made by the regional Department or Ministry of Education. It is they who are tasked by Rosobrnadzor to form a representative sample of schools for conducting the VPR.
For example, in 2018, at least 60% of schools in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation must participate in the All-Russian test in the Russian language for grades 2 and 5.
Officials of regions and municipalities are instructed to include in this number 10% of urban and the same number of rural educational organizations with the highest and lowest results of the state final certification in grades 9 and 11.
Perhaps parents will ask: who needs the GIA results if second-graders write the VPR?
Simply based on the results of the OGE and the Unified State Exam, regional authorities determine the level of the school and its place in the regional or local ranking. If your school is ranked among the very best or, conversely, is chronically lagging behind, it may end up on the list of VPR participants in some subjects without even wanting it.
Unfortunately, last year, parents, teachers and directors complained that they were deciding for them (and, most importantly, at the last moment) whether their school would take part in the All-Russian testing work in a particular subject.
WHO COMPLETES VLOOKUP TASKS AND HOW?
This question worries both teachers and parents. Test items that are uniform for schools are compiled at the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) taking into account the new state standards (FSES).
It is very difficult to obtain official permission to interview the writers of GIA or VPR assignments, even if you are well acquainted with these scientists.
The ideologists of the new type of monitoring say that the benchmark for them was the tasks of the comparative international study PISA, in which schoolchildren from Russia failed at least twice.
PISA questions focus on the practical application of school knowledge in real-life situations. Russian specialists who develop tasks for VPR also strive for this international “bar.”
However, the versions of the All-Russian test works for high school also include traditional tasks that experienced teachers have already encountered in the demo versions of the OGE and the Unified State Exam.
“In the demo versions of the VPR, I came across a lot of tasks from the OGE for the 9th grade,” says Ksenia Gennadievna Pudovkina, a teacher of geography and biology at school No. 2 in the city of Sim, Ashinsky district, Chelyabinsk region. “VPR in my subject meet federal standards, so many tasks test not knowledge, but the ability to work with information.”
“If a subject was taught in the system from 5th to 11th grades, the student is able to write a VPR on it,” many teachers believe. “The tasks of the All-Russian test work are of a basic level, no subtleties are used in them.”
“- My children and I solved the demo version of VPR - and no one in the class scored a bad grade. Do the same!”, others advise.
WHICH SUBJECTS OF VPR ARE CONSIDERED THE MOST DIFFICULT: PAY ATTENTION!
Russian language:
Last year, Russian language teachers who were preparing children for the federal test found higher-level questions in the assignments for grade 5 - on topics from grades 6 and 7 that the students had not yet taken.
If you are not confident in the children’s knowledge, it is better to open the demo version of VPR on the FIPI website and get acquainted with the tasks. The Russian language is a subject that never hurts to study.
Biology:
Some teachers, during the All-Russian test in biology for grade 5, found in the VPR several tasks on topics that were covered only in textbooks for grades 6 and even 7.
“After this test in biology, the children were very worried,” said one of the mothers. “Some of my daughter’s classmates were one point short of a school C, and some were two points short of a B.” This is a lot of stress for them. And in fact, almost all the VPR tasks that were given to our children were NOT according to the 5th grade curriculum.”
“Currently there is no unified biology program for grade 5,” Rosobrnadzor responded to a request from teachers of this subject. “In general educational organizations of the Russian Federation, ... work programs of 12 different teams of authors can be used.”
However, if your school has already taken the VPR in biology, it means that you are familiar with the problem and have drawn conclusions.
Story:
The second difficult subject of the All-Russian test work was history.
“The results of the VPR in history showed that schoolchildren in grades 5 and 11 do not know enough about the history of their native land and famous historical figures, they do not know how to establish cause-and-effect relationships between historical events and analyze different types of sources of historical information,” said the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergei Kravtsov.
On the history course for grade 5, there actually were questions about the history of our native land. One teacher from a small town, for example, analyzed VPR training tasks and calculated that children would be asked a question about their famous fellow countrymen. His class learned the answer in advance (the famous fellow countryman had only one). And at the VPR, the class was asked to name a historical event related to their small homeland. There is no need to explain what the fifth graders wrote instead. The confusion was complete, and the school discussed for a long time whether it was possible to reformulate the VPR question so as not to give the whole class low scores.
Geography:
This year, some students may have difficulties with the geography test: the school must decide for itself whether it will be taken in 10th or 11th grade.
By the way, she can solve it at the last moment (see above).
So that children don’t get nervous, here is a free VPR geography simulator that opens conveniently and gives hints:
HOW ARE THE GRADES ASSIGNED FOR VPR?
“VPR is not only uniform measures and the same tasks that children do all over the country, it is also the same assessment criteria,” emphasizes Sergei Stanchenko, head of the monitoring research project NIKO (National Research on the Quality of Education), which became the predecessors of VPR.
The federal coordinator of the VPR is Rosobrnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science). It should not be confused with FIPI (Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements), which compiles assignments for VPR.
Rosobrnadzor administers the VPR: it appoints regional coordinators of the All-Russian verification work. They become the Departments and Ministries of Education of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which form a list of municipal coordinators of the VPR in their constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Grades for educational tasks are assigned to each student according to a special scale developed by Rosobrnadzor of the Russian Federation.
Then the obtained VPR points are converted into school grades.
If the subject is optional (the school itself chose it in order to test the students’ knowledge), the transfer to grades is carried out at the discretion of the teachers themselves.
Please note: if in your region it has been decided to take into account grades for CDF in the final certification, then they should be taken into account for the entire class, and not for individual students.
It can’t be that someone’s grade for CDF will be credited and put in the journal, but not the other children in the class.
If a CD subject is considered compulsory, it is also assessed by school teachers. But in this case, they must assign points strictly according to the criteria developed by Rosobrnadzor.
These results are entered into electronic form and, no later than two days later, are uploaded through the school’s personal account on the All-Russian Testing Works portal.
WHAT CAN YOU GET A D IN VPR?
Let's see what you can get a bad mark for on the All-Russian test in mathematics in the 4th grade.
If a student scores from 0 to 5 points for his work, his knowledge is considered unsatisfactory. Scored 6-9 points - you get a C, 10-12 - a B, 13-18 points - rejoice, parents and teachers, you have an excellent student!
Russian language in 4th grade is assessed differently. Anyone who scores less than 13 points gets a two, 14-23 points gets a three, 24-32 points gets a four, 33-38 points gets a five.
This may surprise and disappoint many parents who were convinced: if the test is federal, then the VPR assignments should be checked in Moscow.
No, the VPR test takes place on site, at school, immediately after students hand in their work. This is not done by the computer, but by the teachers themselves.
“We recommend that our colleagues collectively check several VPR papers,” Sergei Stanchenko explains the verification algorithm, “see what mistakes the students made in them, and then agree among themselves how to evaluate the results in accordance with federal criteria.”
Teachers can familiarize themselves with the regulations for conducting VPR and samples of test work on the official website http://vpr.statgrad.org/
IT'S NORMAL TO WORRY
All-Russian test papers are written on the same day for the entire country. Moreover: even at the same time.
For VPR in the Russian language in grades 2 and 5, it is recommended, for example, to leave lessons 2-3 in the schedule.
All this imposes a certain responsibility on the school administration.
And we need to prepare for the fact that the whole school will be nervous: it’s normal for the whole country to do the same work at the same time.
Some explain to children this way:
“When we wrote the RONO test as children, we were also worried. But for the test we were given a mark in the class register, and the school will simply take your grades into account.”
Some teenagers object:
“Then why try if they don’t put marks on the VPR”?
The answer to this is simple: the VPR scores will be announced in front of the whole class. And this means that those who took the federal test lightly will not have the most pleasant moments.
Plus, based on the results of the VPR, all unsuccessful students may be assigned additional classes.
Do you need this? Same thing.
HOW TO WRITE A VLOOKUP EXCELLENT?
Education leaders claim that it is easy to complete all VPR tasks. You just need to stay in class and don’t skip school.
Teachers who have studied demo versions of VPR in their subject do not always agree with this. They say that only a few students will be able to achieve high scores on federal tests without preparation.
This fact is indirectly recognized by Rosobrnadzor itself, when NOT recommended for teachers (quote):
- specially prepare the class for the implementation of VPR buildings,
- do this during the holidays or after school,
- put grades for the federal test in the journal,
- avoid elements of training for VPR tasks.
How long does it take to prepare for the VPR?
It all depends on the textbook in which the subject is taught, on the class and on the teacher.
“- With children, of course, you will have to repeat everything before the VPR. It took me and my motivated students about three lessons,” says Evgenia Vladimirovna Zhinkina, a physics teacher at school No. 32 with in-depth study of the English language in Ozersk, Chelyabinsk region.

VPR IN BASIC SCHOOL
In the 5th grade, students are expected to undergo advanced training in mathematics, biology, history and the Russian language (twice - in October and April). Since 2018, a CD in history has been added to the mandatory CD in the Russian language. Fifth graders complete assignments for 60 minutes
In the 6th grade, students will have to take the test in the testing mode in the Russian language, mathematics, history, social studies, biology and geography. For 2018, school participation in the VPR for 6th grades is not mandatory. An educational organization can choose the subject in which it would like to conduct a control cross-section of knowledge.
VPR FOR HIGH SCHOOL
In the 10th grade, students will take the VPR in chemistry and biology. In 11th grade - biology, foreign languages, history, chemistry, geography and physics. VPR is chosen by those graduates who do not pass the specialized Unified State Exam in this subject. Schools can choose to conduct a course in geography in the 10th or 11th grade. The time for solving problems with VPR for eleventh graders is 90 minutes.
Information and technological support for the VPR is provided on the website

VPR - All-Russian verification work.
Monitoring the quality of education in 2018
According to the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated October 20, 2017 No. 1025 “On monitoring the quality of education”, the order of the Ministry of Education of the Moscow Region dated December 25, 2017 No. 3580 “On conducting diagnostic procedures in state educational organizations of the Moscow region and municipal educational organizations in the Moscow Region region in 2018" in the 2017-2018 academic year, All-Russian testing will be carried out for students in the 4th and 5th grades as usual, and for students in the 6th and 11th grades at the choice of the educational organization.
VPRs do not entail additional burden, since they will replace traditional final tests in an educational organization.
“All-Russian testing is not an analogue of the state final certification. They are carried out at the regional or school level. Within the framework of the VPR, the most significant aspects of schoolchildren’s training will be checked, both from the point of view of using learning results in everyday life, and from the point of view of continuing education,” - explained the head of Rosobrnadzor Sergei Kravtsov.
VPR are not a state final certification. They are carried out by the educational organization independently, using uniform versions of tasks for the entire Russian Federation, developed at the federal level in strict accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard. These are diagnostic works for assessing the individual achievements of students. The results of the ERP can be useful for parents (legal representatives) to determine the educational trajectory of their children. The results can also be used to assess the level of training of students upon completion of the main stages of education, to improve the teaching of academic subjects at school.
VPR can be compared with control work traditionally carried out in organizations.
Distinctive features of VPR are the unity of approaches to compiling options, carrying out the work itself and evaluating it, as well as the use of modern technologies to ensure almost simultaneous completion of work by students of all educational organizations of the Russian Federation. VPR tasks are developed at the federal level.
The website through which the All-Russian verification work is carried out:
As you know, All-Russian tests are final tests carried out in individual subjects and their goal is to identify the level of knowledge of schoolchildren at the moment. The results of the VPR are not used to issue students’ annual grades.
In 2018, fourth-graders will take three subjects: Russian language, mathematics and the world around us.
The VPR in Russia has been an experiment for two years now, participation in which is voluntary, and the work is carried out through test tasks.
In December 2015, test papers to determine the level of knowledge in trial mode were written by about 600,000 fourth-grade students who study in 19,000 schools from 70 regions of the Russian Federation. In 2015, the VPR was carried out in the Russian language and mathematics. In 2016, a third was added to the two subjects - the surrounding world.
In 2018, VPR will be carried out continuously for students who complete 4th grade. Since this required comments, the relevant ministers explained why this type of work was introduced and how it would be carried out.
What do VPR give?
Experts from Rosobrnadzor report that such a knowledge test in school allows you to achieve the following goals:
- Psychologically prepare students for exams in the senior class, in particular for the State Examination and the Unified State Exam.
- Determine the amount and level of knowledge that was acquired during the completed year of study.
- It will provide an incentive for systematic study throughout all years, in addition to grades 9 and 11.
- Disadvantages in training programs in tested subjects will not go unnoticed.
- Parents will be aware of the student's level of knowledge.
- It will provide an opportunity to improve the overall education system.
The results of the VPR will not change the annual estimates. They will be taken into account in the trimester in which they are submitted.
How did the VPR go in 2017?
Last year, fourth graders participated in VPR. There were problems on the Russian language, mathematics and the world around us. The proposed tasks turned out to be quite simple, and it was not difficult for children who systematically studied to complete them.
The tasks did not have a test part and were divided into general educational and practical ones. There were tasks on counting change in a store and writing words backwards. Another example: there was a task to formulate a refusal of a request in a polite form, and also it was necessary to draw up a plan and determine the main idea of the text. When passing the 2018 VPR for 4th grade, you will only need the most basic, basic knowledge that the average student has.
General information about the All-Russian VPR 2018
New technologies used in VPR will be able to provide one system throughout the country and create one approach to conducting, assessing and creating assignments.
In 2018, the VPR will take place according to the following rules:
- Each subject will have its own day.
- 45 minutes are allotted for writing answers for each subject.
- It is prohibited to use any textbooks while completing assignments.
- The journal will give a point for the VPR, as in the test.
- The score for VPR is given in a week or two. All grades will be available to every student.
Plans for the near future
It is planned that by next year, in addition to fourth-graders, VPR will also be conducted for fifth-graders. The conditions for passing the VPR in 5th grade 2018-2019 will not differ much in complexity from those that fourth graders undergo. The same simple tasks based on materials that were covered in 5th grade will be added.
Preparation for the 2017-2018 VPR
Students should stop feeling the fears of their relatives, in particular their worries about the result of the test, since this is a regular annual test, the children took it every year at the end of the trimester.
At this time, you need to monitor the student’s routine. Adequate sleep is required, it is important to be outdoors and eat well. All this will help prepare for the VPR.
The main task for parents is to instill in their children the following: when the learning process has not started all year, there will be no difficulties in passing the VPR.
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation explains that:
Features of the VPR
The VPR is performed on special task forms, which are issued before the start of the tests. Children can also use drafts, but everything written in the drafts is not taken into account when evaluating work.
It is interesting that the names of the students are not indicated in the works. A special four-digit code is indicated, which is assigned to the student. This code is written in a specially designated place on the assignment form. What are these codes for? Wouldn't it be easier to sign the works humanely? It might be simpler. But it makes sense.
The fact is that the use of codes allows teachers not to be biased when checking work. After all, they don’t know who exactly did the work. The teacher sees only errors and correct answers, and not the specific student who performed the work.
Works are assessed in accordance with the assessment criteria that the school receives along with the work options. And there are many options. Not like before, the first and second. So it won't be possible to write it off.
Before starting work, the teacher conducts mandatory instruction. In 4th grade it lasts 5 minutes. During the briefing, the children are explained:
- that they will now write a test paper;
- they say how many tasks there are in it, that these tasks can be completed in any order, the main thing is to solve as many as possible;
- show sheets with tasks on both sides;
- They warn that if suddenly the student realizes that he has made a mistake in the answer, then he can cross out the incorrect option and write the correct one.
Then, all together, the children write down their codes in the right place. They are definitely wished good luck, and they begin to work.
No additional materials, books, textbooks, workbooks, dictionaries, calculators, or atlases may be used. Everything should already be in the student’s head.
All fourth grade students in Russia write VPRs on the same days.
VPR in Russian language
Work on this discipline is carried out in two stages. In two days. Each part takes 45 minutes.
In the first part of the VPR in Russian, the children are asked to write a dictation and complete two tasks that are related to this dictation. Here is an example text of a dictation that was offered to fourth-graders in 2016.
And questions are asked for this dictation.
- You need to find a sentence in the text with homogeneous predicates. Write out this sentence and underline these predicates.
- Write out the 6th sentence from the text. And then emphasize the main members in it. And above each word write what part of speech it is.
This ends part 1.
In the second part there are no dictations, presentations, or essays. And there are 13 questions that need to be answered. There are questions of a general nature on topics that are studied in the elementary school course.
For example, you need to correctly place emphasis on the words: alphabet, took, busy, quarter.
Or find a word in the proposed sentence in which all consonants are voiced.
Most of the questions are related to working with text. The children are asked to read the text and then ask different questions about this text. For example:
- identify and write down the main idea of the text;
- make a plan for it;
- explain the meaning of a word;
- find in the text a word corresponding to a certain pattern;
- write down the pronouns, indicate their person and number.
There are also creative assignments that are not related to the presented text. For example, you need to write down your refusal to be invited to a classmate’s birthday.
VPR in mathematics
Mathematical work is carried out in one go. 45 minutes are allotted for everything. What do we offer our children? And they are asked to complete 11 tasks. That is, it turns out that about 4 minutes per question. And the questions can be different, simpler and more complex.
Since this is mathematics, it is natural that you will have to solve examples and various problems. You will have to draw different geometric shapes, determine their areas and perimeters too. There are tasks for logical and spatial thinking.
In general, this is normal mathematics. There are spaces for answers on the forms. And also in some problems it is necessary to indicate not only the answer, but also show the solution, for which a special field is reserved.
VLOOKUP over the surrounding world
It must be said that this is the most interesting job of all that is offered to 4th grade students.
Children are asked to write what rule this sign implies. I would write “Don’t crush the frog.” Whether this is right or not, I don’t even know.
The work is also not complete without geographically focused assignments. As well as without tasks related to the animal world, personal safety, and the structure of the human body.
In 2016 there was a question regarding the weather forecast. Children were offered a picture with a forecast for several days, like from Yandex Weather, and they had to find the correct statements in accordance with this forecast. Statements could be, “The coldest night is expected on Saturday” or “The wind will blow from the northeast on Saturday night into Sunday.”
There are questions and reflections. For example, this one: “Why do you think it is important to respect the traditions of different peoples?” You must write at least five sentences. Students somehow cope with this. Are you, parents, not weak?
There is also a question on local history.
In principle, if a student studied diligently for all four years, then coping with the VPR will not be difficult. The main thing in this matter is calm and self-confidence, and knowledge, of course. Well, if your knowledge is somehow not very good, then it’s not too late to fix everything.
You need to pull yourself together and try, try, try. And listen to the teacher carefully, and if something is not at all clear, then either explain it to your parents, don’t be lazy, or contact the teacher. There is still time until the end of April. There is a lot to catch up on. The main thing is to want it.
But still, let's hope for the best) And don't forget that the VLOOKUP essentially doesn't really affect anything. Even if writing a paper is completely unimportant, the child will still go to 5th grade along with his classmates. Still, despite all the similarities, this is not the Unified State Exam.
The VLOOKUP function in Excel allows you to rearrange data from one table into the corresponding cells of the second. Its English name is VLOOKUP.
Very convenient and often used. Because Manually matching ranges with tens of thousands of items is problematic.
How to use the VLOOKUP function in Excel
Let’s say that a certain quantity of materials has arrived at the warehouse of a container and packaging production company.
The cost of materials is in the price list. This is a separate table.
It is necessary to find out the cost of materials received at the warehouse. To do this, you need to substitute the price from the second table into the first. And through ordinary multiplication we will find what we are looking for.
Algorithm of actions:
Click OK. And then we “multiply” the function throughout the entire column: grab the lower right corner with the mouse and drag it down. We get the required result.
Now it’s not difficult to find the cost of materials: quantity * price.
The VLOOKUP function linked two tables. If the price changes, then the cost of materials received at the warehouse (arrived today) will also change. To avoid this, use Paste Special.
- Select the column with inserted prices.
- Right mouse button – “Copy”.
- Without removing the selection, right mouse button – “Paste Special”.
- Check the box next to “Values”. OK.
The formula in the cells will disappear. Only the values will remain.
Quickly compare two tables using VLOOKUP
The function helps to compare values in huge tables. Let's say the price has changed. We need to compare the old prices with the new prices.
Data presented in this way can be compared. Find numerical and percentage differences.
VLOOKUP function in Excel with multiple conditions
Until now, we have offered only one condition for analysis - the name of the material. In practice, it is often necessary to compare several ranges with data and select a value based on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. criteria.
Example table:
Suppose we need to find the price at which corrugated cardboard was brought from Vostok OJSC. You need to set two search conditions by material name and by supplier.
The matter is complicated by the fact that several items come from one supplier.
Let's look at the formula in detail:
- What are we looking for?
- Where are we looking?
- What data do we take?
VLOOKUP function and dropdown list
Let's say we have some data in the form of a drop-down list. In our example – “Materials”. It is necessary to configure the function so that when you select a name, the price appears.
First we'll make a dropdown list:
Now you need to make sure that when you select a certain material, the corresponding figure appears in the price column. Place the cursor in cell E9 (where the price should appear).
- Open the “Function Wizard” and select VLOOKUP.
- The first argument is “Search Value” - a cell with a drop-down list. Table – range with names of materials and prices. Column, respectively, 2. The function takes the following form: .
- Press ENTER and enjoy the result.
We change the material - the price changes:
This is how a drop-down list works in Excel with the VLOOKUP function. Everything happens automatically. Within a few seconds. Everything works quickly and efficiently. You just need to understand this function.
On monitoring the quality of education
All-Russian testing works (VPR) and Regional testing works (RPR) are not a state final certification. They are carried out by the educational organization independently, using uniform versions of tasks for the entire Russian Federation, developed at the federal level in strict accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard. These are diagnostic works for assessing the individual achievements of students.
VPR and RPR can be compared with control work traditionally carried out in past decades in many regions and individual educational organizations. Distinctive features of VPR are the unity of approaches to compiling options, carrying out the work itself and evaluating it, as well as the use of modern technologies to ensure almost simultaneous completion of work by students of all educational organizations of the Russian Federation.
VPR tasks are developed at the federal level, RPR tasks at the regional level.
What do VPR and RPR give?
Experts from Rosobnadzor report that such a knowledge test in school allows you to:
- Psychologically prepare students for exams in the senior class, in particular for the State Examination and the Unified State Exam.

VPR principles- these are new technologies that ensure uniform work for students in all schools in the country, and a unified system for conducting, assessing and approaching the creation of assignments.
What will VPR give?
Specialists from Rosobrnadzor and the Ministry of Education and Science claim that annual testing of primary school graduates will result in:
- check the volume and quality of knowledge acquired during the academic year;
- shortcomings of the curriculum in examination disciplines will be visible;
- VPR will help improve the regional education system.
to give students good psychological preparation for exams in the 11th and 9th grades (GIA and Unified State Exam);
VPR will force schoolchildren to study systematically throughout the entire educational process, and not just in graduation classes;
parents will understand the overall picture of the student’s knowledge;
Children and parents should be aware that the results of the VPR will not affect the student’s final annual grades. They will only be taken into account in the current quarter.
VPR in the 2018-2019 academic year will take place subject to the following rules:
The Federal Education Service allocates a specific day to each subject;
Students are given 45 minutes to complete assignments in each discipline.
It is prohibited to use reference materials and dictionaries when completing assignments (with the exception of using a draft);
The results are posted in the journal as grades for the test.
The results of the All-Russian testing work are announced within 2 weeks. Assessments of the level of knowledge of students in a particular school or class will be publicly available.
How can a schoolchild prepare for the VPR?
Parents should not convey to their child their worries and fears about the result of test work, since the test work is the same test work that students previously completed at the end of the school year.
During this period, it is important to ensure that the student follows the correct daily routine. Healthy sleep, mandatory walks in the fresh air, and good nutrition will help the student prepare physically and psychologically for the certification.
And the main task of parents is to convince the child that if you do not neglect your studies throughout the entire school year, then there will be no problems with preparing for the senior year.
