Parents do not understand how their children will leave school this year. You need to pass at least three exams, at least 3 months are left for preparation. Can I buy exam results?

"Did you pass the exams in the traffic police for money? Well, remember how it was,” my friend said in response to the question of what to do with his son passing these at least three exams. with me fingers - one finger, two or three. I quickly pressed the buttons. "So we passed this exam. I'm sure that I could pass it myself, but a well-trained instructor at the time of passing the exams so carefully inspired me that I could not pass it myself, that I resignedly gave it to him $ 300. And then a friend drew an analogy with the exam.

"It will be, don't worry, the most restless will pay money for such an instructor, "said a friend. Familiar parents of a graduate have already been offered such a service - if you are worried about your child, for example, he is a humanist, and taking the exam in mathematics is a real torment for him, you can pay 1, $5,000 and get a hint assistant who guarantees correct answers on the exam.I hear the indignant exclamations of teachers - this is not possible!

But the situation in the traffic police is also difficult., but the system was debugged, it will also be debugged on passing the exam. I remember that I was terribly wondering at what point in passing the test at the traffic police I would receive my paid service. When there were a few minutes left before the exam, the examiners stood up and left the room. At that moment, everything happened. The cost of the prompter service is now called 1.5 thousand dollars. But no one will take this money now, they can take it just before the exam and give instructions on how to behave, what to do point by point, and so on. The desired result is guaranteed. This is one way.

There is one more. The honored teacher of the Russian Federation told about him, who asked not to quote him. "Buy a certificate, it's impossible, what are you!... - says the teacher, - This is in France - public policy so that young people study, and there is no one to work with us ... There is only one way out - to go to small towns and take them there. There is less control, teachers solve the hated USE together with students, everyone is in the same boat and therefore applicants from the provinces show much top scores USE than schoolchildren in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The entire Caucasus has almost 100 points in the Russian language! ... Thus, our universities will be filled with students from other cities."

Move to a small town V Last year learning is scary, but possible. And there are already students who have found such schools not very far from St. Petersburg, but not in Leningrad region, which last year became the object of an investigation into a scandal involving the purchase of USE results. And further, the honored teacher lamented that even a responsible official of the Ministry of Education, on a dare, could solve only 60% of the Unified State Examination in mathematics. "If earlier a person going to the philological faculty did not need to know 40 trigonometry formulas by heart, now it is necessary."

Teachers' forecasts are disappointing- This year only half of the applicants will enter universities. When asked why this is all, the teachers are sure: yes, this is a state order, children should not study en masse, someone needs to work in order not to import guest workers, serve in the army, master working professions in vocational schools ... At first glance, universities were moved away from the feeding trough .

But on paid branches those who have fewer points than enough for free will be able to enter, and universities will earn their money. I would also like to remind you of the following. Graduates of 2009 were born in 1992 - few people dared to give birth at that difficult time. Products were on cards, those that were not on cards rose in price several times during the day, and they stood in line for bread for several hours. And it is precisely these children who are the first to pave the way to the future, again participating in a dubious experiment.

The technology practically eliminates not only the leakage of examination materials, but also the possibility of rigging the USE results.

On May 26, the main wave of the Unified State Examination started in Russia. More than 900,000 graduates will take exams. Responsible for the technology of conducting the exam, processing and analyzing information federal center testing, subordinated to Rosobrnadzor. It is here that data on surrender flock from all over the country. The Izvestia columnist managed to get into this "semi-secret" organization, who talked with Oksana RESHETNIKOVA, deputy director of the FCT.

- Each graduate will receive an individual set of examination materials. What's inside?

There are control measuring material on the subject and three forms. The registration form displays the surname, name, patronymic and passport data. Form N 1 is used to record short answers to the tasks of parts A and B - where you need to choose one of the options. And on the form N 2, the answers to the tasks of part C are recorded - the very ones that are written in any form. This form is double-sided, but if this place is not enough (say, a person signed, because there is something to say on this topic), an additional form is issued.

Anonymity guaranteed

- How to use technology the shortest time analyze what was handed over in paper form?

Our forms are not simple, but machine-readable. After the exam, they are scanned, and all the information displayed on them is accepted electronic form. This significantly reduces the processing time of the results. In general, it should be noted that compared to previous years, when the exam was taken on an experimental basis, the technology has been significantly modernized and supported by software. At the federal level, we have seriously strengthened and secured the entire process. Now it is securely protected and is a monolithic, efficient automated system.

In Tatarstan, a couple of years ago, as a result of a collusion between officials of the local Ministry of Education and employees of the regional information processing center, it was possible to seize the forms of several students and replace them with new, rewritten ones. Is this possible today?

I'm sure not. Today, each exam material that a graduate works with has its own special barcode. At the same time, they are combined with each other, forming the same individual set. This immediately dismisses the possibility of replacing materials: a form with a "foreign" barcode will not match the rest of the forms in the set and therefore cannot be processed. This allows you to separate the details of the graduate from his answers, which is very important. The constituent parts of each set are processed in different places and are united again only at the federal level - already here, in our center.

- That is, the answers to the test questions are now analyzed without reference to the personality of a particular examinee?

Yes, that's the whole point. The first data we usually receive from the regions is from forms No. 1: here, minimal work is required, including on versification. The second is the registration forms. And, finally, the last information comes about the results of evaluating the answers to part C by experts. All this is programmatically connected in accordance with barcodes, and only then it becomes clear to which particular person this individual set belongs. We work with the subjects of the Federation in a single distributed database. Therefore, we will always notice any attempts to interfere with the system.

"Keys" of happiness

Parts A and B are centrally checked using special "keys". At what point are these "keys" loaded into the database?

- "Keys" are the correct answers to all tasks. There are none in the regions - they are available only at the federal level. And their loading into the database occurs after the exam has passed throughout the country, when federal level all results of processing forms from the regions were transferred.

Unlike parts A and B, in part C, the examinees are not checked by a machine, but by three experts from the regional subject commission. Moreover, if the opinions of two subject specialists differ significantly in the assessment of a particular work, then the position of the third expert becomes the verdict. Is there a loophole for abuse here?

No, it is absolutely out of the question. The experts do not know who is the first, who is the second, and who is the third, so they do not even guess whose verdict is final.

After the regions have received answers to all the questions of the examination tasks, here in Moscow, work begins on the preparation of protocols with the final results of the exam. By what criteria do you analyze statistics?

The main criterion is authenticity. Our software tools allow monitoring not only each point of the exam, but also each audience where the USE is taken. Everything is carefully analyzed, including for abnormal results - both overestimated and underestimated. For each such case, an internal investigation can be carried out, up to the annulment of the results - Rosobrnadzor has such a function.

I remind graduates and their parents that based on the statistical analysis of the results obtained this year, a certain threshold will be set on a 100-point scale, overcoming which means passing the final exam successfully.

Measure seven times and then appeal

- And if the graduate does not agree with the evaluation of the work, when can he appeal?

After the scaling procedure, when we determine what score each participant received for each exam, the protocols with the results via secure communication channels come from us to the regional information processing centers and are then brought to educational institutions. From this moment on, the period begins when the graduate has the right to appeal. For example, he may not agree with the grade given for part C. Or he wants to make sure that the machine scored his answers for parts A and B correctly.

The appellant in the conflict commission prints out the image of the information that he wrote with his own hand, and the display of this form recognized by the machine. And in front of the graduate's eyes, the answers are compared on the subject of whether the machine correctly recognized his marks, whether they are in the places where he put them.

- Mistakes happen?

Hardly ever. A very high-quality recognition system works. If the graduate correctly follows all the algorithms for writing characters, errors are practically excluded. But if he displayed the answer is not block letters, as required, but got carried away and wrote in his neat handwriting, then difficulties may already arise. But this is already, excuse me, his responsibility. After all, each USE participant signs that he has studied the rules for the exam, where it is said in black and white exactly how to display symbols on paper, and even samples are given.

There are some nuances when filing an appeal to part C. A graduate may not be satisfied with the assessment of a separate task of this part or all in the aggregate. If he does not agree with the opinion of the experts, a second consideration is scheduled. The conflict commission attracts subjects - and not those who have already checked his work, but other specialists who once again evaluate his answers. And, I must say, the revision of the results does not always end in favor of the graduate.

Tuesday in Russia. More than 900,000 graduates will take exams. The Federal Testing Center, subordinated to Rosobrnadzor, is responsible for the technology of conducting the exam, processing and analyzing information. It's here from all over the country. Our observer managed to get into this "semi-secret" organization, who talked with Oksana Reshetnikova, deputy director of the FCT.

question: So, on May 26, graduates of 2009, accompanied by authorized representatives from their schools, will come to the examination points to take computer science and biology. By presenting a passport, everyone will receive an individual set of examination materials. What's inside?

%%VYNOS1%%answer: There are control measuring material on the subject and three forms. The registration form displays the surname, name, patronymic and passport data. Form N 1 is used to record short answers to the tasks of parts A and B - where you need to choose one of the options. And on the form N 2, the answers to the tasks of part C are recorded - the very ones that are written in any form. This form is two-sided, but if this place is not enough (say, a person signed, because there is something to say on this topic), he may be given an additional form.

V: How, with the help of technology, to analyze in the shortest possible time what was handed over in paper form?

O: Our forms are not simple, but machine-readable. After the exam, they are scanned, and all the information displayed on them takes on an electronic form. This significantly reduces the processing time of the results.

answer: In general, it should be noted that compared to previous years, when the exam was taken on an experimental basis, the technology has been significantly modernized and supported by software. For the participants themselves, this may be imperceptible, for the organizers on the ground - too. Probably, even at the level of regional information processing centers, the difference compared to what it used to be is not so noticeable. But here, at the federal level, we have seriously strengthened and secured the entire process. Now it is securely protected and is a monolithic, efficient automated system. The technology practically eliminates not only the leakage of examination materials, but also the possibility of rigging the USE results.

Is this possible today?

O: I'm sure not. Since then, the technology of conducting the exam has seriously advanced in terms of information security. Today, each exam material that a graduate works with has its own special barcode. At the same time, they are combined with each other, forming the same individual set. This immediately dismisses the possibility of replacing materials: a form with a "foreign" barcode will not match the rest of the forms in the set and therefore cannot be processed. In addition, it allows you to separate the details of the graduate from his answers, which is very important. The components of each set are processed in different places and put back together only at the federal level - already here, in our center.

V: That is, the answers to the test questions are now analyzed without reference to the personality of a particular examinee?

O A: Yes, that's the whole point. The first data we usually receive from the regions is from forms No. 1: here, minimal work is required, including verification. The second is the registration forms. And, finally, the last information comes about the results of evaluating the answers to part C by experts. All this is programmatically connected in accordance with barcodes, and only then it becomes clear to which particular person this individual set belongs.

Unlike in previous years, we now work with subjects of the federation in a single distributed database. Therefore, we will always notice any attempts to interfere with the system. We will immediately inform Rosobrnadzor of all such cases, and the most radical measures, even criminal ones, will be taken against those who try to do this.

"Keys" of happiness

O: "Keys" are the correct answers to all tasks. There are none in the regions - they are available only at the federal level.

Is there a loophole for abuse here?

O A: No, it's absolutely out of the question. The experts themselves do not know who is the first, who is the second, and who is the third, so they do not even guess whose verdict is final. Works for verification are received by them in an automated manner, the form comes in a truncated form, and they themselves do not know whose specific knowledge is being tested. As you can see, everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

V: After the regions have received answers to all the questions of the examination tasks, here in Moscow, work begins on the preparation of protocols with the final results of the exam. By what criteria do you analyze statistics?

O: The main criterion is reliability. Our software tools allow monitoring not only each point of the exam, but also each audience where the USE is taken. Everything is carefully analyzed, including for abnormal results - both overestimated and underestimated. For each such case, an internal investigation can be carried out, up to the annulment of the results - Rosobrnadzor has such a function. And if, as a result, the facts of abuse of official powers on the ground, which led to the distortion of the results, are revealed, the perpetrators will be severely punished.

I remind graduates and their parents that based on the statistical analysis of the results obtained this year, a certain threshold will be set on a 100-point scale, overcoming which means passing the final exam successfully.

Or he wants to make sure that the machine scored his answers for parts A and B correctly.

V Q: And what does it look like in practice?

O: The appellant in the conflict commission prints out the image of the information that he wrote with his own hand, and the machine-recognized display of this form. And in front of the graduate's eyes, the answers are compared on the subject of whether the machine correctly recognized his marks, whether they are in the places where he put them.

V: Mistakes happen?

O: Hardly ever. A very high-quality recognition system works. When we ran it in, our experts specially filled out the forms so that it was extremely difficult to consider the affixed marks. But the car still took them apart! Therefore, errors resulting from incorrect recognition are minimal. And if the graduate correctly follows all the algorithms for writing characters, they are practically excluded. But if he displayed the answer not in block letters, as required, but got carried away and wrote in his neat handwriting, then difficulties may already arise. But this is already, excuse me, his responsibility.

The conflict commission attracts subjects - and not those who have already checked his work, but other specialists who once again evaluate his answers. And, I must say, the revision of the results does not always end in favor of the graduate. For example, if he appeals to part C as a whole, then as a result of repeated consideration for one task of this part, the score can be increased, and for another, on the contrary, lowered. At least there have been such cases.

V: For several years now, there has been a practice of rechecking abnormally high results by the Federal Subject Commission. And many of these cases were connected with the filing of an appeal, right?

O: Yes it's true. During the experimentation phase USE the appeal was often used for abuse and attempts to resolve the problems of specific alumni. Suppose a graduate in the exam received for one of the answers of part C, relatively speaking, one point. And suddenly, according to the results of the appeal, instead of one point, he gets as many as four. And so - on a number of tasks. Such cases are always identified, and such works are sent for rechecking to the Federal Subject Commission. And I can report that 80% of the works she analyzed were revised downward.

The Ministry of Education and Science claims that there have been no leaks of answers and assignments for the Unified State Examination since 2013. However, in the first days of the exams in 2017, the department handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a list of more than 200 sites and groups in social networks, where scammers sold tasks from the test.

How much are the answers to 100 points, what will happen if the student comes to take the exam figurehead, and what do groups posting answers for free get paid for? "Paper" I learned who and how earns on the desire of students to successfully pass exams.

Ready answers. Up to 10 thousand rubles

There are more than 11 thousand communities in groups on VKontakte with the words "USE answers" in the title. Five of them have more than 100 thousand people.

Most often, the administration of groups offers to transfer money using bank details bank cards and electronic wallets, there are also offers to pay with bitcoins. Then the students should be sent a password to access the site where, according to the administration, the answers are posted.

Prices in different groups vary depending on the exam and the desired number of points. So, answers to 60 points can cost up to 3 thousand rubles, and 100 points - up to 10 thousand.

The largest group with answers for the Unified State Examination on VKontakte now consists of 300 thousand people. In groups with similar coverage, answers are often posted for free. Administrators explain this is because every student after the exam can voluntarily transfer money to the community wallet.

At the same time, advertisements are often placed in such groups. As an advertising specialist of one of them said, the cost of one advertising placement is 1-2 thousand rubles. On average, the community posts two to three advertisements per day.

Most of these groups position themselves as "assistants in passing unfair exams." Many groups even have a “black list of scammers”: they contain already blocked communities that also offered solutions to USE tests.

Out of 15 respondents "Paper" graduates who are members of such groups, only one bought answers. The young man anonymously said that he spent 2.5 thousand rubles on assignments in literature to check whether they were really correct.

Of course, they turned out to be fake. But there were assignments tailored to the new requirements of the 2017 exam, not 2016. It helped me a little, but I still lost money.

According to the graduate, he does not know if anyone else at his school bought answers for the exam, but he believes that there are none.

On request "Paper" only one group responded. The head of the community of 20,000 agreed to comment if the editors paid him 15,000 rubles.

Microearphones and clock-crib. Up to 15 thousand rubles

Some online stores offer "hidden wireless communication with your assistant in exams, negotiations, interviews and on a date. So, one of these stores in St. Petersburg with 18,000 subscribers writes: “Don’t you have time to study diligently for the exam? There is a way out - to buy an earpiece for exams!

The price for a set of earpieces with a bluetooth headset varies from 2 to 15 thousand rubles. Some online stores offer micro-earphone rental for 500 rubles per day.

There you can also buy a watch-cheat sheet, on the screen of which text files are played. Their cost is from 2.5 to 7 thousand rubles, rent is 600 rubles per day.

The websites of most of these stores also contain instructions for using the earpiece in the exam.

We don't do anything illegal. People want to use earpieces and they buy them. It's just a matter of supply and demand, - anonymously explains the head of the VKontakte group, Microearphone SPb.

He stressed that before the exam, several parents themselves ordered micro-earphones for their children. At the same time, he, like other respondents "Paper" entrepreneurs refused to name specific figures.

Earpieces and cheat sheets are not separately regulated by law. But their use, like any other cheat sheets on the exam, falls under the article on "non-compliance with the state final certification", which provides for a fine of 3 to 5 thousand rubles.

Fake person for surrender. From 10 thousand rubles

In the Tor browser, which provides access to the Dark Web (an anonymous part of the Internet that is not indexed by conventional search engines), a number of sites invite students to take the exam for them.

Judging by the information from one of the sites, an unknown person, having forged documents, can pass the exam for a student. To do this, you must pay at least 10 thousand rubles and transfer a copy of the documents without specifying the series and number to the built-in chat of the site.

How exactly the student will take the exam is not specified. It is noted that the result is from 80 to 100 points. Which exams can be taken for the student is also not indicated.

Question "Paper" no response in site chat. None of the respondents "Paper" graduates did not use such services. All of them claim that they hear about such a service for the first time.

Passing the state exam for another person falls under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fake official documents". So, in 2015 in Nizhny Novgorod for this, a tutor who tried to pass an exam for his student was sentenced to 10 months. He wanted to go through the student's passport, in which his photograph was pasted.

Fake certificate of surrender. Up to 45 thousand rubles

Fake USE certificates cost from 10 to 45 thousand rubles, depending on the results of the exam and the year of passing. Their sale is often accompanied by the sale of diplomas of higher education.

Large sites place an order using built-in online services. On the site, customers are promised to complete the request within two business days and provide courier delivery and payment upon receipt.

None of those who sell certificates with "Paper" did not agree to speak. As buyers told the correspondent, now they sell only USE certificates until 2013 (since 2014, all USE results are stored in electronic database- approx. "Paper").

Representatives of the service explained that it is “absolutely safe” for the buyer, and instructions are attached to the ordered document on “how you can use it without trouble.”

On another site "Paper" they said that they issue USE certificates and modern ones, that is, after 2013, but do not correct the exam results in the electronic database.

Many websites selling certificates in St. Petersburg note that they have been operating since 2000-2005. At the same time, the sites do not hide that the purchase of a certificate is illegal. Some of them even describe the punishment that threatens to buy it: a fine of up to 80 thousand rubles, correctional labor for up to one year, or imprisonment for up to three months. The use of such a diploma is also regarded as a crime.
