Many people know that ordinary USE scores are not enough to enter Moscow State University. Here we will talk about what "DWI" or "additional entrance examinations" is. Such tests are carried out in various subjects. We are interested, of course, in mathematics.
As a DWI, it is taken upon admission to 17 out of 64 areas of Moscow State University. These are the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, the Faculty of Geology, the Faculty of Materials Sciences, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics, the direction "Applied Mathematics and Physics" at the Faculty of Fundamental Physical and Chemical Engineering, the direction "Economics" of the Higher School of State audit, "Management" of the Higher School of Modern Social Sciences, all areas except "Political Science" of the Faculty of Public Administration, as well as the Higher School of Business and the Moscow School of Economics.
In 4 hours, applicants must solve several tasks. In recent years, these are usually eight problems, the first four of which are easier, and the last four are very difficult, presenting considerable difficulty even for graduates of special schools, for these problems there is a competition for mathematical directions. Exam results are evaluated on a 100-point scale. Moreover, 100 points can be given not only for all 8, but also for 7 (and in some years even 6) correctly solved problems. This is due to the fact that all 8 tasks are solved extremely rarely, only a few among thousands of applicants are usually capable of this, these units can be safely called the only ones.
In order to be guaranteed admission to the budget places of most of the named faculties, with sufficiently high results of the Unified State Examination, it is necessary to write DWI for 75-80 points.
Consider the results of the recent DWI MSU (data taken from the website of Moscow State University, pages http://pk.cmc.msu.ru/node/1063 and http://pk.cmc.msu.ru/sites/pk.cmc.msu.ru/files/dvi_sayt_0.pdf).
Among all MSU applicants, 3,732 people passed the additional entrance exam in mathematics. Of these: 340 people passed to "2", 125 to "30", 154 to "35", "40" - 125, "45" - 134, "50" - 436, to "55" - 456, "60" - 801, "65" - 572, "70" - 222, "75" - 105, "80" - 85, "85" - 89, "90" - 46, "95" - 30, "100" - 12.
Those. we see that only 10-15% of applicants with high scores for the Unified State Examination, having written DWI in mathematics, no doubt had real chances to enter state-funded places, and only 7% of applicants wrote mathematics with 80 or more points (for the maximum score - 0.3%).
Results of DWI MSU in Mathematics
Now let's consider the results of the FWI among applicants of the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics (CMC). People go to this prestigious faculty only after special mathematical training (studying in special schools, taking courses and with tutors).
Among those entering the VMK MSU there were 128 people who received the highest score according to the results of the Olympiads, and among those 751 who wrote DWI upon admission, the results are as follows:
"2" -17, "30" - 5, "35" - 9, "40" - 9, "45" - 11, "50" - 47, "55" - 74, "60" - 166, "65 "- 184, "70" - 73, "75" - 45, "80" - 36, "85" - 35, "90" - 16, "95" - 16, "100" - 8 (i.e. we see that two-thirds of the applicants who wrote the DWI for 100 points applied specifically for the VMC).
Thus, among specially trained applicants, the percentage of those who really apply for the budget turns out to be only slightly higher: 15-20% (moreover, only guys with excellently passed the Unified State Examination can afford 70-75 points, because the passing score at the VMK is very high). And even among such an elite - only 1% of those who passed the DWI with the maximum score.
The results of the DWI of the faculty of the VMK MSU in mathematics
So, we see that passing the DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University is not so easy, and it requires special preparation.
Many of the Matematushka graduates entered selected faculties of Moscow State University based on the results of Olympiads (victories at Lomonosov, the Conquer Sparrow Hills Olympiad and other mathematical competitions among students at Matematushka are not uncommon).
However, some of the graduates still passed additional entrance tests and looked more than worthy on them. Let's take the results of recent years, when the Unified State Examination was already introduced and DWI began to pass in one subject according to the current scheme.
This year, new high school students are preparing to conquer "mathematical horizons".
Applicants of the Faculty of History who enter the "History" direction for study pass a written additional entrance test (DWI), and those entering the "History of Art" direction - an entrance test of a creative orientation, consisting of a written and an oral part.
The deadlines for conducting entrance examinations for applicants to the Faculty of History of Moscow State University are announced after the start of the selection committee and are indicated in the "Applicant Calendar" and on the website of the Central Admissions Committee of Moscow State University.
The forms of conducting an additional entrance examination and an entrance examination of a creative orientation are established by the Central Admissions Committee of Moscow State University and become known on the day of the entrance examinations.
The results of these entrance examinations are summed up with USE scores and scores for individual achievements. The final value is the total score, on the basis of which the applicant participates in the competition.
An additional entrance test (DWI) in history is held centrally at Moscow State University - on the same day for applicants from all faculties.
Each of the faculties of Moscow State University organizes DWI on its site for those applicants for whom this faculty is the base one. The base faculty is the faculty of Moscow State University, to which the applicant applied first in time among all the faculties with the same DWI.
Consultation before DWI is held on the previous day at 16:00 for applicants of all faculties in classrooms Shuvalov building of Moscow State University.
The results are evaluated on a 100-point scale and counted at all faculties of Moscow State University, where history is taken as a DWI in the form of a written exam.
On the day of the exam, applicants of the Faculty of History should gather in advance (no later than one hour before the start of the exam) in front of the main entrance to the Shuvalovsky building (Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 27, building 4).
Exam starts at 10:00. Exam duration - 4 astronomical hours (240 minutes) .
Applicants who applied by mail must obtain an exam pass from the admission committee of the Faculty of History in advance (at least a day or two before the exam).
The distribution of applicants by audience is carried out by the staff of the selection committee. Applicants who are late for the beginning of the exam are not allowed into the auditorium.
- the passport,
- several pens in blue or black (care should be taken to ensure that all work is written in the same ink),
- being in the audience with cell phones, PDAs, electronic dictionaries, communication devices and other radio-electronic equipment, even if this equipment is turned off;
- remove examination materials from the audience;
- talk to each other;
- to exchange with each other any materials and objects
- arbitrarily leave the audience and move around the building without being accompanied by an admissions officer
- In case of violation of these rules the applicant is removed from the exam, and his work is not checked.
You can go to the toilet only when accompanied by an admissions officer, no earlier than one hour after the start of the exam and no later than one hour before its end.
On the day of the exam, parents are not allowed in the building.
Order of conduct
the oral part of the additional entrance test
creative orientation
for applicants for the direction " art history"
Applicants of the "History of Art" direction pass the oral part of the additional entrance test of a creative orientation in the audience on the 6th floor of the Shuvalov building of Moscow State University. The exam starts at 10:00.
On the day of the exam, applicants should gather in advance (no later than at 9:30 am) in front of the main entrance to the Shuvalovsky building (Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 27, building 4).
Persons who did not appear for the exam for a good reason (illness or other documented circumstances) are allowed to take it on the reserve day.
The admissions committee staff first gathers applicants to the audience to wait in line for the exam, and then, as the answers of the earlier applicants are completed, they accompany them to the examination room.
To participate in the exam, you must have the following documents with you:
- the passport,
- pass issued at the time of submission of documents.
In addition to these documents, applicants can bring the following items with them to the examination room:
- a blue or black pen to fill out the Oral Response Sheet,
- mineral non-carbonated water in a transparent plastic bottle with a volume of not more than 0.6 liters.
It is strictly forbidden to be in the audience with cell phones, pocket computers, electronic dictionaries, communication devices and other electronic equipment, even if this equipment is turned off. If an applicant violates this rule, he is removed from the examination room.
During the examination, the applicant is required to give an oral answer to one question on the history of art, indicated in the chosen ticket and the accompanying envelope with illustrative material. After preliminary preparation using the "Oral Response Sheet", the applicant demonstrates his knowledge to the members of the examination committee under a video recording in the classroom.
The maximum score for the oral part of the creative entrance test is 30 points. The score obtained is summed up with the mark for the written part (maximum -70 points), and on this basis the total final mark is set for the entrance test as a whole (maximum mark - 100 points).
The dates and times of the announcement of the results and the display of written works are communicated to applicants in the audience during the entrance examinations, and are also published in the "Applicant Calendar" on the website of the Faculty of History.
The minimum number of points confirming the successful completion of entrance examinations and entrance examinations of a creative orientation conducted by Moscow State University is set at the level of the minimum number of points required for admission to study in undergraduate programs and established by the federal executive body responsible for control and supervision in the field of education.
One of the most famous and prestigious universities in our country with a fairly high competition for budget places. Entrance examinations in various subjects are provided for in almost all faculties. But usually DWI applicants in mathematics raise the most questions - after all, this exam is taken upon admission to 16 out of 84 MSU programs for full-time bachelor's and specialist studies.
Successful participation in mathematics olympiads will help to avoid DWI. For example, victory in the All-Russian or university Olympiad guarantees BVI (admission without entrance tests), and a prize-winning place gives 100 DVI points, that is, it guarantees admission even with an “average” USE score.
DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University is usually held in mid-July
What tasks does the DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University consist of?
Topics and the number of tasks that will be offered to applicants within the DWI remain unknown until the very beginning of the exam. However, in recent years, problems have been proposed that are approximately similar in subject matter. This suggests that similar tasks will be in 2018.
In total, in recent years, the exam consists of eight tasks. The first three of them are able to cope with a school graduate with a solid four in mathematics, the fourth task requires deeper knowledge. In the fifth and sixth task there are "highlights" - they require developed mathematical abilities. The seventh and eighth tasks belong to the level of increased complexity. According to statistics, no more than 2% of applicants try to solve them, and only a quarter of this number comes to the correct solution of at least one task.
Approximate topics of DWI assignments in mathematics:
- 1 - for arithmetic calculations;
- 2 - for quadratic equations;
- 3-4 - on logarithms and trigonometric inequalities;
- 5 - in geometry (planimetry);
- 6 - text task;
- 7-8 - stereometry.
Criteria for assessing DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University
The maximum score that can be obtained in DWI is 100 points. At the same time, the criteria for their accrual vary from year to year, depending on the total number of applicants and how the applicants generally coped with the work. After checking all the papers, statistics are collected, after which a decision is made on the gradation of technical points for the tasks of examination papers on a 100-point scale.
Correctly solved problems have the largest share. Tasks solved with shortcomings (for example, if the solution is correct, but an error has crept into the calculations) can bring half or a third of the score. At the same time, points for partially solved problems are not summed up (that is, if you have two solutions of 0.5 points each, 0.5 will be added to the total number of technical points, not 1).
Usually 100 points can be obtained by correctly solving 7 tasks, and in some years even 6 tasks brought the maximum score. To get the minimum positive score, you need to score 35 points (correctly solve one problem and show progress in another). For most technical faculties, with a well-passed exam, guaranteed admission gives a DWI result of 75-80 points. Note that no more than 5% of the total number of applicants write an exam for this grade.
In 2017, the correspondence between technical scores and marks looked like this:

Which faculties are required to take the DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University?
DWI is necessary for admission to technical and mathematical faculties, as well as a number of specialties in the natural sciences or even the humanities.
Full-time bachelor's programs for which it is necessary to take the DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University in 2018:
Preparation for DWI MSU in mathematics. How serious is it?
The answer to this question depends on many factors:
- From aboutgeneral level of preparation in mathematics. For example, in recent years, the Mathematics versions of the Moscow State University DWI almost always included tasks in geometry and stereometry, which are now taught at school rather poorly. If your school does not have a specialization in physics and mathematics, you need to start “pulling up” mathematics in advance.
- From pUSE results. The USE scores of specialized subjects are summed up with the results of the DWI, which gives the final passing score. For example, in 2017, the passing score for the specialty 01.05.01 Fundamental Mathematics and Mechanics of Moscow State University was 333 points. Thus, if in three subjects of the Unified State Examination (mathematics, Russian language, physics) the applicant received a total of 270 or more points, then for admission he needed to get only 55-65 points at the DWI. To do this, it was enough to solve 4-5 tasks out of eight, that is, no deep special preparation was required to pass the exam. If the applicant received 250 points according to the results of the Unified State Examination, then he had to solve 6-7 tasks correctly, and for this, intensive classes were already needed.
- From tothe chosen faculty. The specific share of DWI points in the passing score for different departments may vary. For example, for admission to soil science, it is usually enough to solve the first three most simple tasks of the DWI. To enter the department of "Management" of the Faculty of Sociology, you must get at least 35 points in DWI, that is, do not write it for a deuce (1-2 tasks). Mekhmat and VMK have much more serious requirements. However, the applicant has the right to apply for three different directions - that is, without reaching the VMK in terms of points, you can go to the Mekhmat.
It is better to start preparing for the DWI in mathematics at Moscow State University in advance
How to prepare?
If a graduate has sufficient perseverance and purposefulness, he may well prepare for the DWI on his own. Today, there are many manuals on sale with tasks that are approximately similar to those that have to be solved during entrance examinations. You can get acquainted with the tasks of the DWI for the past years on the website of the Mekhmat and the Central Admission Committee of Moscow State University.
To prepare for DWI, you can also hire a tutor or take courses at the faculty you are interested in. The latter option may be preferable, since course teachers are usually involved in the development of assignments for DWI and exam verification, so they have a good idea of what skills and knowledge applicants need for admission. Depending on the faculty and department, it is recommended to start attending courses a year or even two before admission.
The preparatory departments of some faculties allow students to pass a trial exam that is as close as possible to the real conditions and tasks of the Far East Institute of MSU, followed by an analysis of examples and solutions. For example, such an opportunity is offered on a paid basis by the School of Young Entrepreneurs at the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University.
An additional exam in mathematics is a serious test for an applicant, not only because of the complexity of the tasks, but also because of the unusual environment and great stress, which can interfere with concentration and solve problems correctly. If you are afraid of failure, in a special section of our website you can choose a university and technical specialization where you do not need to take the DWI in mathematics. If you are still aiming for Moscow State University and other most prestigious universities, we recommend that you read our article "How to enter your dream university: 9 steps to achieve your goal".
