On May 28, the main stage of the Unified State Examination began in Russia. This is a unified state exam that is mandatory for all students in grade 11. Based on its results, a school leaving certificate is issued and enrolled in universities.

following the exam
The exams are taken strictly according to the schedule. In one day, one exam for all graduates of all cities.
On May 28, they took geography and computer science, on June 14 they write social science, and the main stage will end on June 20 with literature and physics. Then there will be spare days. A few more days are reserved for those who could not come for a good reason.
We have analyzed the complex issues that concern graduates and their parents during the exam period.
Can I change elective exams? If one item was indicated in the application, and now they decided to hand over another?
Additional exams could be chosen until February 1st. You can’t just change the list of exams - only for a good reason, with the permission of the commission and if there are at least two weeks left before the exam.
A good reason in such cases is, for example, when the university suddenly includes a new subject in the list of entrance examinations. This is a violation on the part of the university, but it happens.
If you chose several exams in reserve in February, you can not come to the one that is not needed.
Extras can be left out
For example, if computer science, physics, history and social studies were indicated in the application, and after computer science it became clear that there were enough points, you might not come to history and social studies. There will be nothing for it.
If a graduate decided to enter another university and he does not have enough exams, he will have to wait for the next year. This also happens: it is unpleasant, but not fatal.
What happens if you don't show up for the exam you need to take?
If you do not come for a good reason - for example, because of illness - you can take the exam on reserve days. After the main stage ends, those who missed it will be allowed to take exams. A good reason must be documented. If there are no documents, they will not be allowed to take exams on a reserve day.
If you do not pass the Russian language and basic mathematics at all, you will not be issued a school leaving certificate. But these items will be allowed to retake this year.
Do not come to the mandatory - only for a good reason
A missed elective exam can only be taken after one year.
If you realize that you will not be able to come to the exam, be sure to call the class teacher and subject teacher. They will tell you what to do next, where to go, what documents to collect and when you can retake. You can even call teachers late in the evening or early in the morning: during the exam period, they are usually always in touch, because sometimes more graduates are worried. At least that's what all the teachers we talked to told us.
When will the results of the exam be known?
Typically, reviews of all levels take a maximum of two weeks. Results may be published earlier, but no later than the scheduled date. The fastest way to check basic mathematics.
Who checks the work? How objective are the ratings?
Each work is checked by several people. The test part is checked by the computer. There is a clear instruction for verification, so subjectivity is almost excluded. There may be different interpretations for oral subjects or essay, but usually deviations are one or two points. If the inspectors have different grades, the result will be determined in favor of the graduate.
All forms are anonymous. Works for verification are distributed among experts automatically. No one knows that this particular student wrote a particular work. And the students do not know who will get their work, even if they try to leave some mark on the form.
After checking in their region, the work can be sent for cross-regional checking. And then, until March 1 of the next year, they are randomly checked again.
It's better not to deal with anyone.
Negotiating with the commission, looking for friends and paying money for a check is a huge risk. It is illegal. And yet no one can guarantee that everything will work out: the USE check is strictly controlled, including at the federal level. If something like this is discovered, everyone will be punished. And the results of the exam will not count at all, even if the work is really written well.
If you do not agree with the results, then what to do?
File an appeal. There are two working days for this after the results have become officially known.
The chance that it will be possible to win back one or two points is small. But if it is, it is better to use it: sometimes admission to a budget place depends on one point.
An appeal should be filed if you know for sure that, for example, the essay is written perfectly. You cannot appeal the test part based on the results of the answers. The maximum that you can count on is that during the check the signs were not so recognized, but there is little chance.
Sometimes, based on the results of the appeal, the number of points is reduced, although the graduate was counting on an increase. You need to think carefully before drawing attention to your work.
How to find out the answers to the exam in advance? They say they can be bought or found in other regions.
No. Leakage of USE results is excluded. If on some sites they offer to buy answers to tests, these are scammers. No one knows the content of the test materials before the students sit down at their desks and the exam officially begins.
Sometimes the teachers themselves say that they have learned what the options will be. Or one of the inspectors offers to buy them through an acquaintance. Don't trust anyone.
There are no answers to the exam. What they sell is not the answer
There have already been cases when parents paid 50 thousand rubles or even more, but there was not a single coincidence.
Teachers are not scammers, they want the best and they themselves can think that they got the right options. They sit and decide on the night before the exam, as if to help. And then at the exam it turns out that the tasks and answers are different.
There is only one benefit in such schemes: if you take any options somewhere and solve them yourself, this will help you better prepare for the exam.
Can I take my phone to the exam?
It is forbidden. Nothing can be taken to the exam, except for a passport and a pen. Some items are allowed to take a ruler, calculator or protractor. Where the exam is held, there are metal detectors at the entrance.
Even if you managed to carry the phone, it is still unlikely to be used. Here are some real situations where graduates tried to use the phone and failed.
Ivan put the phone in a pocket sewn to his shorts and said that the detector reacts to piercings. He carried the phone and left it in the toilet. I wanted to take time off during the exam and consult with the teacher through WhatsApp.
After the start of the exam, the inspectors inspected the toilets and removed all the stash with communication equipment from there. Going for the phone was a shame, and Ivan was left without a new Samsung. Until September, he was afraid that somehow it would be found out that it was his phone, and the exam results would be canceled.
Everything worked out: Ivan himself passed the exam and got a good score. If he had been caught, he would not have enrolled this year.
Anya carried the phone in her bra, safely hid it in the toilet, and no one found. During the exam, Anya took time off, took the phone, but could not use it. On the floor was a device to suppress the communication signal. The phone was useless.
At the Unified State Examination in mathematics, Anya relied on the phone: last year her friend succeeded. As a result, Anya missed five points and now her parents pay 80 thousand rubles a year.
Vitya carried the phone in a sneaker straight to the class where the exam is being held. I was afraid to leave it in the toilet, because they could find it. Vitya did not need a communication signal either: he was not going to write or call. He took a picture of the physics formulas with his phone in advance. I wanted to take time off and peep if a difficult task comes across.
Vitya almost succeeded. But at 10:30 the phone vibrated from the call of the grandmother, who was very worried about her grandson. Physics was not credited to him, he failed to enter a good technical university.
Some manage to carry the phone and use it. But this is a violation.
Can you carry cribs? Will they be able to use?
Theoretically, cheat sheets are easier to carry than a phone, but it’s better not to carry them in - this is also illegal. Evaluators are not allowed to ask a student to undress, feel them, or check their pockets. The metal detector does not react to cheat sheets, but they are found in the toilets and taken away even before the exam.
You will not be able to use cheat sheets or additional literature directly on the exam. Video cameras are installed in all rooms and broadcast on the Internet. It is monitored in real time and then selectively reviewed after the exam.
It also happens like this.
Zhenya wrote a list of words with the correct accent on masking tape and stuck it on her legs under her skirt.. Zhenya is an excellent student and knows Russian well, but all her friends did it, and she, too, just in case. The cheat sheet was not useful to her: she knew the words anyway.
Two hours later, Zhenya asked to go to the toilet and forgot about the adhesive tape. The cribs peeled off and slipped under the pantyhose to my knees. This was noticed by a member of the commission in the corridor. Zhenya was to be removed from the exam in disgrace. She miraculously and with tears managed to persuade the inspector not to report the violation. And although Zhenya was met halfway, she was so worried that she wrote the essay poorly and did not get enough points for the faculty of journalism. In fairness, almost all currently practicing journalists advise against going to journalism departments.
Vika and Liza made history cheat sheets for two. They also took the answers to the tests that were sold to them as real ones. So that they would not be caught, they divided it all in half. Classmates got into different audiences and agreed in advance to meet at 11 o'clock in the toilet.
They asked for leave, as agreed, at the same time, but did not take into account that they were being taken to different toilets - each was taken to the one that was closer. It was not possible to meet, and Lisa needed those cribs that Vika took with her.
Cheat sheets need to be written before the exam, only to better remember. Do not take them with you to the exam. There are no ideal options without risk, everything cannot be foreseen. Something can always go wrong, and not only the income to the budget, but also the school leaving certificate will be at risk.
Can I agree with the commission on the exam to help? Can they advise?
No, no one will tell you anything. You can ask a question only by filling out the form. It must be answered loudly and clearly. Calling a member of the commission to you and asking for help in a whisper will not work.
Such requests have no practical meaning. The commission is made up of teachers in other subjects or administrative workers.
Members of the commission are monitored by other members of the commission, public observers, Rosobrnadzor and the prosecutor's office. Everything is very strict. If someone helps a graduate, he will be fined.
If everything is correct on the draft, but there is an error on the form, what answer will be counted?
Always count the answer that is on the official letterhead. Drafts are not graded.
You need to properly allocate time to check the work and have time to rewrite everything without errors.
What if the exam becomes bad?
You need to contact a healthcare professional. He is always present in the audience. Then they will act according to the situation. If the work cannot be continued, it will be recorded, but the results will not be evaluated. It will be possible to hand over again on a reserve day.
If you need to take medication during the exam, it is allowed. If you need to drink juice, eat sweets or take an injection, you can do that too. You can bring water or a chocolate bar with you, but you won’t be able to use them as cheat sheets: everything will be checked. If they find the inscriptions, they will delete it without the right to retake it.
If this year there are not enough points, and there is no way to study for a fee, what then to do?
If you didn’t manage to score even a minimum in basic subjects, you won’t get a certificate. The main subjects will be offered to retake on a reserve day or in the fall.
If the scores are above the minimum, but still low, you can retake the exams in the desired subjects next year and choose the best result.
USE results are valid for four years. For example, if a graduate did well in Russian and biology, but got excited in mathematics and missed three points, you can retake mathematics in a year and apply to the university again.
Postponing admission just because there were not enough points in a prestigious university is unreasonable. Anything can happen in a year.
It's better to go to university than to wait a year
There is no guarantee that next year you will succeed in passing the exams well, and the passing score will not be increased. It is better to choose a faculty or university simpler, and then look for options for a transfer or to do it again.
Ksyusha wanted to become a microbiologist or virologist. Of the additional subjects, she chose biology and chemistry, but she did not succeed in entering the medical academy for free. In order not to lose a year, Ksyusha submitted documents to the Institute of Food Production, where chemistry was also needed. She entered the budget and got a room in a hostel. The following year, she changed her mind about taking the exam again - she remained at her university. Now Ksyusha has already received her diploma, she works as a food technologist at an international enterprise and earns five times more than her parents, doctors.
If there are not enough points at all to enter the budget, there is an option not to enter, to prepare, and next year retake the exam.
Sergei also wanted to become a doctor, but he did not pass biology well and did not pass the budget. He had a deferment from the army, so in order not to lose a year, he entered the medical college in his city and was preparing to retake the exam. If it didn’t work out, Sergey would have stayed in college, trained as a paramedic and still worked in medicine, as he dreamed of.
But he succeeded. The following year, he retaken biology and with the same results in Russian and mathematics entered to study as a cardiologist. By that time, he had also managed to get a referral from their local cardiological dispensary, which also helped.
What are the ways to pass the exam well?
To pass the exam well, you need to prepare for it. It's best to start in tenth grade. You can prepare on your own or with a tutor.
Shortly before the exams, it is most effective to solve tests of previous years. Tasks in the exam are typical and very similar can come across in different years. If there is a tutor, he will select the correct method of preparation, taking into account the abilities of the student.
What is the best thing to do before an exam?
Graduates need to sleep. You can't sit all night on textbooks or look for answers for this year. Not getting enough sleep and getting nervous is the worst thing.
In the morning you need to have breakfast, dress comfortably and arrive where you are supposed to by 9 o'clock. The exam will start at 10 o'clock, but it is better to arrive early to look around and adjust.
You need to come to the exam rested and calm.
At the same time, you can submit the results of the exam to five universities. Each has three faculties. All information about specialties, documents, the number of budget places and passing points is published on the websites of universities.
If you can’t get into the budget, think about where to get money to pay for your studies. It is better to take care of this even before the exams, just in case. Find out at the institute how to transfer to the budget from the second year, if this is practiced. If you try hard, you can save a lot of money.
Experiment with faculties and universities. In one institute, there is a competition of 100 people per place, while in another there may be a shortage even for a similar specialty. The prestige of the university does not guarantee anything.
Invite the student to look for job opportunities. You can transfer to correspondence, work in shifts or remotely.
- pass;
- identity document;
- gel or capillary pen with black ink;
- a simple calculator, a ruler, a protractor (allowed for passing an exam in some subjects).
Where can I get a pass for the exam?
You should be concerned about this issue in advance. Before March 1, you must submit an application indicating the selected subjects at the registration point for passing the exam. Be careful! It is difficult to add a subject or remove it from the list of specified disciplines after registration. This requires objective reasons (for example, the illness of the student, confirmed by an official document). In case of force majeure, you will have to write an application to the state examination commission, where you need to indicate the changed list of disciplines and the reasons for its change. Applications on these issues are accepted one month before the start of the exam.
If everything goes well, by May 10 you will be able to get your pass to the Unified State Examination in the selected subjects at the registration point.
It would seem that the passport and only he. But not only graduates of schools of the current year are allowed to pass the exam. Therefore, the list of allowed identities is expanding:
- diplomatic passport;
- official passport;
- seaman's passport (sailor's identity card);
- military ID, or temporary identification card of a military person;
- temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation, issued for the period of issuing a passport (certificate of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation);
- passport of a citizen of a foreign state;
- temporary residence permit;
- residence;
- certificate of recognition of a citizen as a refugee (refugee certificate).
Note that the birth certificate is not included in this list. Therefore, you will not be allowed to take the final test with it.
As mentioned above, answers on the form can be entered in black ink. The simplest calculator without a programming function will allow you to use it in physics, chemistry and geography. It is allowed to bring a ruler to mathematics, but all calculations will have to be done orally or on a draft. It is permissible to use a protractor and a ruler when solving tests in geography.
Drafts are given to students along with sealed answer sheets. Therefore, you do not need to carry your leaflets. Also, at home, any means of communication should be set aside.
main stage USE-2018 will start on May 28th. We will talk about what you can take with you to the exam, what is forbidden to do during the exam, and what to do if a graduate missed the exam due to illness.
USE-2018 schedule for graduates of secondary schools
main stage
Additional period

How is the exam conducted
All exams start at 10 a.m. local time, USE participants begin to run at 9 a.m. You must present your passport at the entrance.
In case of being late, the duration of the exam is not extended; general instruction on filling out the forms is not carried out separately.
The organizers accompany the USE participants to the classrooms. In the audience, the passport is re-checked, sent to the workplace according to the lists of automated distribution. You can't move to another place!
USE participants must carefully listen to the instructions, receive individual sets of examination materials, drafts from the stamps of the educational organization on the basis of which the USE is held.
What is prohibited during the exam
Carry with you means of communication, electronic computers, photo, audio and video equipment, reference materials (except for those permitted, which are contained in the KIM), written notes and other means of storing and transmitting information.
Remove examination materials, writing materials, written notes and other means of storing and transmitting information from the audience.
Take pictures of exam materials.
Talk to each other.
Exchange any items between USE participants.
Leaving the audience without the accompaniment of the organizer.
For violation of these requirements, the participant may be removed from the exam, his work will not be checked.
Minimum USE scores
For 2018, no cardinal changes are planned in the procedure for conducting the Unified State Examination, GIA-9 and the final essay. As in previous years, there will be only two compulsory subjects for graduates of the eleventh grade - mathematics and Russian.
The minimum threshold for admission to universities, established by Rosobrnadzor, is the following scores in compulsory subjects: 36 points in the Russian language and 27 points in mathematics at the profile level.
USE participants who completed the examination work ahead of schedule can hand it over to the organizers and leave the exam site without waiting for the end of the exam.
A graduate who missed the exam due to illness must provide a medical certificate to the school. The school promptly transmits information to the state examination commission so that it can assign the graduate another day for passing the exam, provided for by the unified schedule.
The results of the unified state examination for admission to undergraduate and specialist programs are valid for four years following the year of receipt of such results. (according to Part 2 of Article 70 of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation" dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ)
If a USE participant (a graduate of the current year) receives a result below the established minimum number of points in one of the compulsory subjects, he has the right to retake it in the additional terms provided for by the unified schedule. If the USE participant does not receive the minimum number of points in elective subjects, retaking the exam is provided only after a year.

This must be done by February 1st. Later, you will be able to apply only if you have a valid reason, which will be documented, but no later than two weeks before the start of the exams. The decision in this case is made by the State Examination Commission (SEC).
Be careful with the list of items to indicate in the application. You can change your choice after February 1, but only if there are good reasons, documented. If in doubt, it is better to indicate several items.
Where to find USE registration points
Addresses of registration points and application forms with samples can be found on the website of the local department of education. You have the right to choose any region for passing the exam, regardless of your place of residence. A complete list of registration points can be found here: "Registration addresses for the USE 2018". Also, any information on the exam can be clarified by calling the hotline: list of hotline numbers.
What documents are needed to register for the exam
You need to provide:
- passport;
- SNILS certificate (if available);
- consent to the processing of personal data;
- school certificate or diploma of graduation from a technical school or college;
- a certificate from a secondary professional institution, if you are still continuing your studies;
- a document from a medical institution if you have health restrictions (a certificate or a certified copy of disability, a copy of the recommendations of the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission).
At some locations, you may be asked for additional copies of these documents, so it's best to make them in advance.
Get notified
To do this, you need to arrive at the time specified by the registration point. Usually no later than two weeks before the start of the exam. The notice will include the dates and addresses of Exam Sites (ETs) and your unique registration number. Notification is issued only after the presentation of the passport.
Come to the exam
Admission to the PES is carried out strictly according to the passport. For graduates of previous years, there are no other options. If you have forgotten your identity document, you will not be allowed to enter.
Exams in all subjects begin at 10:00 local time. We recommend arriving 45 minutes before the start. Calculate the time in advance. If you are late, you will miss the briefing. You will have less time to complete tasks.
Listen carefully to all the introductory information from the organizers of the exam, ask questions if something is not clear.
If you missed the exam for a good reason, submit a supporting document to the SEC. After consideration, you may be given a reserve day for delivery.
What to bring to the exam
According to the rules for conducting the exam in PES, you must take:
- passport;
- black gel pen
- permitted aids depending on the subject: physics - a ruler and a non-programmable calculator; mathematics - ruler; geography - protractor, non-programmable calculator and ruler; chemistry - non-programmable calculator;
- medicines and nutrition (if necessary);
- special technical means if you have a disability or limited physical abilities.
- certificate confirming the diagnosis or disability.
All other personal items are not allowed to be taken with you. They can be left in specially designated places.
For extra items on the table can be kicked out of the PES
Find out your results
Each region independently establishes the terms and methods of notification of the results of the exam. However, the timing of verification and processing of the results should not be longer than the schedule approved by Rosobrnadzor. For example: verification and processing of the results of the exam in mathematics and the Russian language must be completed no later than six days after the date of delivery. For other subjects - in four days.
You can find out your results at the local educational authorities (on the website or a special stand) or at the points where you registered. You can also use a special service where you need to enter your registration number (indicated on the coupon that you need to keep) or your passport number.
Certificate is not issued. All results are entered into an electronic database. Their validity period is 4 years (the year of delivery is not considered). If you do not agree with the scores, then within two working days from the date of the official publication of the results, you have the right to file a written appeal at the place of registration of the exam. You can retake the exams only next year.
What to do if I passed the exam worse than last time
If there are several USE results that have not expired, it is indicated which USE results and in which general education subjects should be used. So take a deep breath and calm down.
Thus, we have described the main algorithm of actions when passing the exam. Prepare for exams, take tests and enter the best universities in the country.
Comments
Hello, last year I took the exam, but the results were bad, this year I retaken the exam in chemistry, biology, but I didn’t pass Russian (the last result was good and I didn’t retake it again), when I looked at the results on the exam website I didn’t see the results in Russian, there were only results in chemistry and biology. How should I deal with the results in Russian so that they appear on the scoreboard with the results on the USE website ??
Diana Tyulyush, good afternoon! USE results are valid for 4 years. Therefore, your result in Russian is valid. Universities have access to all results. You do not need to provide any screenshots.
Hello, I am a graduate of previous years, I have been in another country for a long time and missed the time to submit documents, is it possible to get permission to pass the exam now?
Nikita Lazarev, good afternoon! After February 1, documents are accepted only if there is a good reason, documented. What can serve as such a reason is not detailed in the law. Therefore, we recommend that you contact the education department of the city or district in which you plan to take the exam for clarification. If your documents are accepted, then the examination committee will then decide whether to allow you to take the exam this year or not.
Hello, I am a graduate of previous years, at the moment I am serving in the army under a contract. I'm applying to a military school, can I still apply for the exam? How many exams can I take? And also retake one for which I am not satisfied with the number of points and one for which I did not score min. number of points?
Alexander Abakhin, good afternoon! You can take any exams you need. There are no restrictions on the number and composition of exams. Documents are accepted every year until February 1. This year the application deadline has already passed. After February 1, documents are accepted only if there is a valid reason, documented. What can serve as such a reason is not detailed in the law. Therefore, we recommend that you contact the education department of the city or district in which you plan to take the exam for clarification. If your documents are accepted, then the examination committee will then decide whether to allow you to take the exam this year or not.
For what good reasons can you apply for the exam, because you did not have time to do this before February 1, 2019. Is it really possible?
Lera Novitskaya, good afternoon! The list of valid reasons in the law is not detailed. The reason must be documented. More often than not, it's a disease. You contact the education department of your city or district. They accept documents from you and collect a commission. The decision on admission to the exam is made by the commission. There are time limits. Since the early period begins in a week, you need to seek advice from the education department as soon as possible.
Hello, I am a graduate of previous years, I did not have enough points for the Unified State Examination in social studies, this year I want to retake society and + pass history, will they allow me to do this?
Victoria, good afternoon! It will be possible to retake it already in 2020, since registration for this year has already been completed. Documents must be submitted by February 1, 2020
Good afternoon) Please tell me, I am a graduate of previous years, I signed up for an early exam in chemistry, for health reasons I will not be able to appear on this date and on the reserve days of the early period, too. Can I write an application to pass the exam on the reserve days of the main period or in the main period itself (with the provision of a document)?
The list of subjects that are allowed to have at the unified state exam is regulated by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia "On approval of the procedure for conducting the state final certification ...". Although this document changes with a regularity of 2-3 years, the list of permitted items remains, as a rule, unchanged.
So, first of all, you need to have identity document. Please note that a birth certificate is not such a document. In the most common case, this should be a passport. Therefore, try not to forget it at home. Although you may be allowed to take the exam even without a passport after confirmation of your identity by the accompanying persons, but why do you need extra hassle.
The second required document is pass. It indicates the subject of the exam, the address of the PES (exam point), the time and date of the exam, etc. It must be received in advance.
Thirdly, you need to take handle. According to the rules, the pen must be gel, capillary or fountain and always with black ink. Why exactly with blacks? They say that black ink is better processed by a computer, and the results of the exam, as you know, are processed on a computer. If the computer cannot unequivocally recognize something, the process is suspended, the disputed place on the screen is highlighted, and the final decision is made manually by the operator. You yourself understand that where manual processing appears, additional errors are possible. You don't need it, of course. Therefore, we take a black pen and do not argue. The same can be said for a ballpoint pen. Text written with a ballpoint pen is less recognizable by a computer. Although, if you don't feel very comfortable without a ballpoint pen, you can use it for drafts. The main thing is that the final forms are filled out with the correct pen. I think it is clear that it is better to take a pen with you not one, but two or even three.
And fourth. When passing some exams, you can use additional items and materials. Their list is approved annually. For example, at present, in mathematics, you can use a ruler (no compasses, etc.), in physics - a ruler and a non-programmable calculator with the ability to calculate trigonometric functions, in geography - a ruler, a protractor and a non-programmable calculator, etc. There is no need to memorize this list. You will be told about it before the exam.
As a rule, at the exam they are allowed to take water with them, and sometimes (quite often) a chocolate bar. Although you do not need to count on it, at any moment they can ban it. Check in advance. If you think that you can’t live on the exam without a sip of water, take it, but it’s better in a transparent bottle so that there are no unnecessary questions. With chocolate, there is still a risk of staining the forms.
Now a few words about what you can not take with you to the exam. Mobile phones, various electronic devices with memory and, of course, all kinds of cheat sheets are prohibited. You can, of course, fill your pockets with cheat sheets, put your cell phone in your pants, and so on. But, most likely, apart from moral reassurance, you will not get anything from this, it will be very problematic to use them. You should also not put any cheat sheets in your passport. Passports will definitely look. In addition, if you are caught, you risk getting a certificate only for the next year. Therefore, in my opinion, it is not worth the risk, it is better not to take these things with you. Moreover, if you do not know the subject, no cheat sheet will help you.
Most importantly, don't worry. You are not the first to pass the exam, you are not the last. Good luck on your exams.
