The Director of Educational Products Development spoke about the adjustments in the OGE-2026

The structure of exams in most subjects in the framework of the OGE-2026 remains the same, however, clarifications and some adjustments are being introduced in several disciplines. Elena Provozen, Director of Educational Products Development at the educational company MAXIMUM, told Izvestia about this on August 21.

For example, in the discipline of Russian, the detailed answers in assignments are now formulated using a problematic question. Also, these tasks are now allowed to make no more than two logical errors without losing a point. In a reasoning essay, when justifying one's own opinion, it is necessary to use the proposed text for argumentation. Earlier in this assignment, students provided examples from personal experience.

"Now, special criteria for checking papers in the case when a student does not gain the volume of words have been abolished in the OGE in the Russian language (previously, lower criteria for literacy were assumed for written works with a total volume of 100 to 139 words). Now, without typing the required volume (140 words: 70 words per presentation + 70 words per essay), the student loses points for all literacy criteria," added Karen.

The geography exam has changed the sequence of tasks. Thus, question 30 on the subjects of the Russian Federation was moved to 21 positions. In biology, the theoretical scope of the first assignment was expanded. Now it can include topics related to biological sciences, biological professions, and methods of biology.

In the OGE in chemistry, changes were made to the condition of task 20. Previously, students could specify substances in free form, but now they should write about them strictly in accordance with the requirements. So, the inscription should be attributed to the substance or particle itself. According to the expert, this does not complicate the task, but it can lead to a loss of score due to inattention.

Starting in 2026, the computer science exam will use only freely distributed software products, including LibreOffice and OpenOffice, to complete practical tasks in the second part. Because of this, the answers will need to be saved in a *.odt text file or in a presentation (*.odp format), as well as in a *.ods format table. In task 15, the student will need to write an algorithm for the "Robot" performer. The answer can be given in the format of the program in which this algorithm is compiled.

In the literature, in the questions from the first part, where a detailed answer is needed, it is necessary to formulate an answer statement, give an example from the text and describe exactly how this example confirms the idea. For the correct completion of each item, the student will receive 1-3 points according to the criterion of "Matching the answer to the task." It also provides two points for the absence of various errors. The maximum score for tasks has been increased from four to five.

The same changes apply to the task where you need to compare two texts. The answer should be formulated in the format of a statement with supporting examples from each work, as well as explain exactly how these examples confirm the statement. The maximum score for the task has been increased from 6 to 7. In the literature exercise with the essay, a new criterion "factual accuracy" was introduced, which gives two points. It checks the accuracy of the understanding of the work. In addition, the overall score for completing the exam increased from 37 to 39.
