And regarding the questions, the Russian is still reasonably understandable (although when you read some of them, you get a little surprised, as if they're from a different school curriculum). You should look at the history questions... There are questions that contradict not only the textbook but also history itself... There are genuinely absurd questions. I came across one like this: Who of the following people was a contemporary of Dmitry Donskoy:
4 names, none of which mean anything to me... I just chose one at random. Later, when the tutor checked it, she told me that there was some kind of soldier named Vasya Pupkin (I don't remember the exact name... but something like that) who fought in the Battle of Kulikovo and didn't stand out in any way (but he was mentioned once in the textbook)... Seriously, am I supposed to know all the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Kulikovo? IMO, it's complete nonsense.
All universities have the same exams...
By the way, the only subject that is not scored with 100 points is a foreign language. In 2008, there were no cases of achieving the highest score in any of the foreign languages in the country :) The most people with the highest score write Russian, followed by mathematics and physics. If you look at the percentage of the total number, then the clear favorite is computer science (0.21% of applicants), followed by literature (0.16%) and physics and chemistry (0.11% each).
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

And you had to choose the subjects before March, so it's too late to change them now anyway.
In general, you should check the official website of the university you're interested in, or call the admissions office; you're sure to find out there.

I'll be taking history and physics next year, it's going to be tough, but what can you do?)
And one of my friends wants to become a welder))) not as prestigious as a janitor, but still.

Variety, he won't be disappointed:smile50:
Except the ones we've made
We will definitely pass the Unified State Exam... Damn, but they should base it on the school curriculum. Or ask normal questions. I recently watched a Unified State Exam in Literature, and the first question was: given an excerpt from a text (The Captain's Daughter), write the title of the chapter from which the excerpt was taken... I roughly remember this text, as well as the work, but the fact that Alexander Sergeevich also named the chapters was a revelation to me...
Physics is probably difficult, what should one do?
By the way, a janitor is cool, especially if there is a janitor vacancy in your own house, and the yard itself is not prone to excessive pollution.
As for biology, Einstein failed this subject when he entered the Polytechnic Institute. And you say it's nonsense.

Liz, try to assess your abilities and at least look through part of the exam. I was terribly afraid of it, at least until January, but then somehow I could still solve some of the problems. http://www1.ege.edu.ru/images/stories/demo_2009/fi_demo_2009.pdf

It seems there are 2 exams to choose from.
What is "PGS"? I found two options: the Party of Humanist Solidarity and the Faculty of Industry and Civil Engineering :)
