Stage 2 of the Olympiad. Second (final) stage – Olympiad for schoolchildren “Higher standard” – National Research University Higher School of Economics

Every year, a list of school Olympiads is published on the website of the Ministry of Education. In the 2016-2017 academic year, their number reached 88. School Olympiads are held by the country's leading universities. The general list of Olympiads for schoolchildren and the levels indicated in it cover the whole variety of these competitions.

Who needs the Olympics and why?

What is the meaning and practical benefits of such Olympiads? Most of them enable a student even from the most remote region of Russia to try his luck in entering any of the most prestigious universities in the country - from MGIMO and Moscow State University to Baumanka and St. Petersburg State University.

If you are the winner or runner-up of this intellectual competition and scored from 75 points and above, you don’t have to worry about the grades for passing the exam. They don't matter now.

How the system works

There are different levels of Olympiads, there are three in total. Moreover, the assignment goes separately for each of the directions. What does it look like in practice? For example, the Lomonosov Olympiad is held in the number of areas of about two dozen. Of these, only fifteen have the benefits of the first level, which implies the maximum prize - admission to any specialized university without competition.

The remaining five directions belong to the second of the levels. Under the terms of participation, the winner can add 100 points for the profile exam to his asset. The same rule is relevant for the third level Olympiad.

Which of the benefits an applicant is entitled to use is indicated in the admission rules of a particular university. Some of them provide by no means small benefits to winners of the 3rd level of the Olympiads. Others (like Moscow State University or MGIMO) pay attention only to the first-level Olympiads among the most prestigious ones.

How the list is completed

In 2016, several new ones were included in the list of school Olympiads. We can mention "Robofest", the school Olympiad of the University "Innopolis", programming competitions. Future managers, students of music colleges and many others also took part in the tournaments. This list also includes the school Internet Physics Olympiad, held by three St. Petersburg universities.

Not only graduates, but also younger students have the right to take part in such prestigious competitions. Their goal is not to provide themselves with benefits, but to make an attempt to test their own intellectual capabilities.

About changes

The All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren stands apart. Its organizer is the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and the participants are over 6 million students. It is not included in the general list, but the results of passing the levels All-Russian Olympiad schoolchildren are valid for admission to any university without exception.

It does not apply only to the All-Russian Olympiad.

They have lost their power.

What is in the new Order?
