Orthoepic Dictionary of the Russian Language - a dictionary of Russian words indicating their literary pronunciation and stress. Often spelling dictionaries and stress dictionaries are considered equivalent. However, the correct pronunciation of some words of the Russian language is reflected precisely by the spelling dictionary, as it notes unpronounceable consonants in the root (sun, agency), the pronunciation of [e] instead of [e] (baby, meringue, manager), the use of the letter e instead of ё (scam, a not a scam; engraver, not engraver), endings in words (demonic, not demonic; visa, not visa), the combination -chn- (bakery [shn]) and other norms.

Single state exam in Russian is compulsory for school graduates. Many schoolchildren are confident that passing it will not be difficult, since for the majority Russian is their native language. Despite this, we still recommend showing responsibility and devoting several hours to studying the rules and repeating spelling norms.
The main stage of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language will traditionally begin at the end of May and will last until the beginning of June 2018.
The early stage will take place from mid-March to mid-April. You can take the exam in advance:
- graduated from school in 2017;
- those who received a certificate instead of a certificate of secondary education;
- graduates of schools with evening classes;
- planning to continue their studies abroad;
- 2018 applicants who completed the curriculum in advance;
- schoolchildren who, during the main stage of the Unified State Exam, must participate in events of national or international significance;
- eleventh graders who require treatment or rehabilitation scheduled for the date of the main exam.
At the beginning of September, students who received a low score or missed the Unified State Exam due to good reason(documentary evidence required).
Main stages of the exam
Each ticket includes 26 tasks, including test questions and writing an essay on a given topic. Next year it is planned to add a task that will reveal knowledge lexical norms. Since 2016 in Russian Academy Educational institutions are increasingly talking about the need to introduce a “Speaking” stage into the exam.
It is possible that in 2018, in addition to all of the above, schoolchildren will be tested on their ability to verbally express their thoughts, draw conclusions and argue their position.
What words are included in the orthoepic minimum of the Unified State Examination?
One of the differences between the Russian language and others is that the stress in words can fall on different syllables, and not like, for example, in French - only on the last. Therefore, only a few can correctly place emphasis in words. For successful completion The orthoepic minimum in the Russian language will have to memorize about 300 words.
A complete list of words that are included in the spelling minimum of the Unified State Exam 2018 can be found on the FIPI website. We will list only those that cause difficulties for most schoolchildren: alphabet, airports, bows, willow, religion, on time, long-standing, dispensary, to the top, get through, to the bottom, blinds, enviably, spoiled, from ancient times, catalogue, quarter, kilometer, more beautiful, garbage chute, facilitate, seal, wholesale, adolescence, parter, rights, dowry, drills, orphans, plum, means, carpenter, cakes, chain, scarves.
How to get the maximum score
The first part of the ticket consists of 25 tasks. Successful completion will allow you to receive 34 points, which is 59% of the total Unified State Exam result in Russian. Assignment number 26 is an essay, the maximum score for it is 24 points, i.e. the remaining 41%. Responsible preparation for the exam, concentration during the exam and confidence in your own abilities and knowledge will help you get the highest score.
