Books ZNO 2019 in UkrainiansKu and literature from popular authors

Well-known author of textbooks and manuals on the Ukrainian language and literature for middle and high schools A. N. Avramenko also wrote separate books to prepare his students for their main test, general for leaving school and entering higher education institutions.

For careless students, the situation is further complicated by the fact that in recent years it is quite possible to “fail” the ZNO. If previously a certificate with minimum scores was issued to schoolchildren in any case, then in 2018, in order to receive the coveted document, you will have to score at least 24 primary points. Particularly important in this regard is one of the compulsory subjects submitted for final control - Ukrainian language and literature.

On the one hand, a language exam is considered a simple test - students who cannot cope with this subject are extremely rare. On the other hand, a high score can only be obtained if the student understands language norms and rules, has an excellent vocabulary and enthusiastically reads the recommended literature. And in order to simplify the process of preparing for this subject, we will tell you what the exam in Ukrainian language and literature will be like in 2018, and how you can pass it with the highest score.

In this part of the ZNO, students will have to show that they are oriented in oral folk art, as well as Ukrainian literary works of the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries, the works of emigrant writers and works created by postmodernist authors. When checking this part of the work, the commission will evaluate:

Features of the examination paper

Graduates will have to solve 58 tasks, divided into three parts:

• first part – 33 tasks in the Ukrainian language;
• the second part – 24 tasks on Ukrainian literature;
• third part – 1 task in the form of an essay.

All tasks from the first and second parts have varying difficulty:

• in tasks numbered 1-23, 29-33 and 34-53, it is enough to select one correct answer from the list of proposed ones;
• in tasks numbered 24-28 and 54-57, you should establish correspondences between two columns by creating “logical pairs”;
• task number 58 requires the student to write a short essay on a debatable topic, recording his thoughts on a separate form.

By what criteria is the essay assessed?

The essay is a piece of work that can be worth up to 20 points, so it has special requirements. Students will be assessed according to several criteria:

• The first group of criteria covers the content and compositional design of thoughts. Members of the commission will check how well the student can formulate a thesis (this skill is valued at 2 points), give arguments (2 points), use literary examples (2 points) and examples of a historical or real-life nature (2 points), observe the logic and sequence of work ( 2 points), can draw conclusions (2 points);
• the second group of criteria concerns the speech format of the text. A spell check can earn a student 4 points if he made no more than 1 mistake, 3 points if there were from 2 to 6 errors, 2 points if there were 7-11 errors, 1 point if the student made 12-16 mistakes. A higher number of errors means that this part of the work will be scored 0 points. Lexical, grammatical and stylistic components are assessed separately. If a student manages to make no more than 1 mistake, then he will earn 4 points, from 2 to 4 errors - 3 points, from 5 to 7 errors - 2 points, from 8 to 10 errors - 1 point. If the number of errors exceeds 11, this part of the work is scored 0 points.

Separately, it is worth mentioning that the student will need to write a paper of at least 100 words - essays of lesser length will not be assessed.

How is ZNO assessed in the Ukrainian language?

A high score for the external examination can correct a low grade for the subject in the certificate

Based on the results of the assessment, students are given a final mark, which directly affects the school certificate. In this case, the results of not all tasks on the ticket are taken into account, but only the points received for tasks No. 1–23, 29–33 and 58. The conversion of points to a 12-point scale is as follows:

• 0–5 points correspond to 1 point in the school system;
• 6–10 – 2 points;
• 11–15 – 3 points;
• 16–20 – 4 points;
• 21–26 – 5 points;
• 27–32 – 6 points;
• 33–38 – 7 points;
• 39–43 – 8 points;
• 44–49 – 9 points;
• 50–55 – 10 points;
• 56–61 – 11 points;
• 62–68 – 12 points.

If a student cannot score at least 24 primary points, his work is assessed at 0 points, which means that a certificate is not issued. The modern admission system is designed in such a way that it is difficult to understand in advance what the passing score for the budget will be. The final distribution of places depends on the current competition at the university for your chosen specialty, what scores other applicants can boast of, and how they have distributed their priorities.

Of course, students with high scores are unlikely to “fly past” budget places (except for those cases when the university is given only 1-2 budget places). Thus, in order to be guaranteed admission to the budget, it is worth scoring at least 92 primary points out of 104 for the external examination in Ukrainian language and literature.
