Russian Students Take Standardized Test
Graduates of Russian schools will take the first Unified State Exam today. The 11th-year students will show their knowledge of a foreign language and information sciences, beginning at 10:00 a.m., local time. The test will take 2 hours and 22 minutes.
The Unified State Exam is no longer experimental. Tests in safety, physical fitness and world artistic culture will still be given in their traditional formats.
Passing the Unified State Exam in mathematics, Russian or literature will allow students who have 2’s in those subjects to receive 3’s on their records. Those who fail an exam can retake the traditional exam, but in one subject only
