Graduates of 2020 who want to connect their lives with journalism or philology as an exam for choosing the USE will pass the literature, which means that today it’s worth thoroughly studying what changes will occur in the assignments, whether the structure of tickets will be preserved, what date the test is scheduled for and where should the preparation begin.

Should I take the literature?

Indeed, in recent years, not many have passed literature on the exam. In 2019, only 67,500 graduates chose the discipline, and the average certificate score was 63.4, which is higher than the results demonstrated by the graduates of 2018 and 2019.

In 2020, passing the exam in literature is for those guys who plan to submit documents to Russian universities in such areas as:

• philology (including translator);
• journalism (including military);
• creative directions: theater, vocal, choreography, etc .;
• Cinema: actor, director, producer, cameraman, etc.

Of course, for successful admission it’s not enough just to pass the literature. Many universities require specialized mathematics in a bunch, and some require English. Applicants for creative directions should also be ready for an additional test - a creative competition, which is held in person at the university.
