Is the Unified State Exam (USE) a good or bad thing?

{AUTHOR of the topic} I took the Unified State Exam last year. Math - 78, Russian - 72, Physics - 77. I did much better on the practice tests (they are much easier). So, I strongly advise you not to relax... In general, the Unified State Exam can be viewed from different angles... On the one hand, tests are objectively fair. On the other hand, oral exams encourage the development of communication skills. Regarding literature, I would say that if the teachers are good, they will help you, so there is no need to worry too much, and the worst subject is Russian.
