Abstract
The procedure and form of the State final certification for a full secondary school in the form of the Unified State Exam affects the interests of teachers, students, their parents and even their relatives. In this regard, it is advisable to analyze the attitude of the most important participants of the Unified State Exam — students who have already passed this procedure completely. For this purpose, a survey of graduates, first-year students of four universities in Yekaterinburg was conducted. 768 students took part in the survey. The purpose of the survey is to find out the attitudes of school graduates to the Unified State Exam (USE), which is the main form of GIA (State Final Certification).
The survey showed that a negative attitude towards the USE prevails among school graduates, expressed to varying degrees. Only a small proportion of respondents are positively disposed towards the exam. The main argument of graduates against the Unified State Examination: "nervous tension" — 82.2% of all respondents. The main argument in support of the Unified State Examination: “makes the university application process easier” — 43.5% of all respondents. The situation connected with the ideas of school graduates about the objectivity of the Unified State Examination is analyzed. In order to implement the test technology to the full extent of its constituent elements, it is proposed to present the results of the USE in the form of a range of values: deviations from the result obtained by the value of the measurement error up and down.
