2015 enrolment campaign will be held according to the Law “On Higher Education”. University entrant’s grade will include results of external independent assessment (EIA), results of creative and physical competitions (according to the rules of HEI) and school leaving certificate’s grade. University entrant can get additional points for victory in All-Ukrainian competitions or defence of scientific work in Small Scientific Academy and pre-university training (in engineering, technological, natural and mathematics directions).

Each part of grade will include weighting coefficient. The coefficient helps to define which part of the grade is the most important in enrolment to specific HEI (the amount of all the weighting coefficients must be equal to 1).

EIA certificate is valid only one year. Previous year school leavers should pass EIA again in 2015 if they want to follow their education.

EIA in the Ukrainian Language and Literature and Mathemetics consists of 2 levels: general and extended.

In 2015 school leavers will pass joint test in the Ukrainian Language and Literature, results of which will be regarded in State Total Attestation (STA) and EIA. Results of STA will include only the points for the Ukrainian Language part of exam. STA exam in the framework of EIA wii take place on the 24th of April.

In 2015 changes method of EIA results assessment (Angoff method).

After EIA the group of experts in each subject (special expert comission) will define the authenticity of right answers to each question of weakest university entrant. Expert’s answers will be summed up, and the average results will be used as means of threshold “passed/failed” or so-called “threshold grade”.

The next step is a standard procedure of assessment (according to 100-200 points scale). The lawest point will be not “0”, but “threshold grade”. Therefore, students who pass threshold will be included into rating list from 100 to 200 points. As a result students who have the result of 100,5 points will have the possibility to take part in HEI of Ukraine enrolment competition.

The joint test in the Ukrainian Language and Literature will be held in definite testing centres.
