Registration for the interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren “Highest Test”, which is held by the National Research University Higher School of Economics together with a number of other leading Russian universities, will continue until November 13. Last academic year, Yakutia schoolchildren showed good results at the Olympiad, winning three first-degree diplomas.
“Highest Standard” is one of the largest school Olympiads in our country. In the 2017/18 academic year, 82.7 thousand people took part in the Olympiad. 2,235 people received diplomas, including 1,227 eleventh graders. 1,220 participants in the final stage of the Olympiad became students of the Higher School of Economics, taking advantage of admission benefits.
It should be noted that in the last academic year, Yakutia schoolchildren showed good results at the Olympiad.
Three schoolchildren from Yakutsk received first-degree diplomas. Among the winners were also children from Neryungri, Mirny and Nyurba. In total, 11 schoolchildren from Yakutia took prizes in various disciplines. The most prize-winners were awarded in mathematics (seven people). And the largest number of Olympiad winners were prepared by the Yakut City Lyceum and the Nyurba Technical Lyceum named after. A. N. Chusovsky.
In the 2018-2019 academic year, the “Highest Test” will be conducted in 25 profiles. Students in grades 9–11 have the widest choice: oriental studies, oriental languages, design, journalism, law, psychology, mathematics, physics, electronics and computer technology, foreign language, philology, Russian, computer science, history, history of world civilizations, economics, social studies, sociology, political science, philosophy, business fundamentals, financial literacy, cultural studies, biology and chemistry. 7th graders can try their hand at competitions in a foreign language, history, philology, mathematics, Russian, and 8th graders can also compete in economics and social studies.
For the first time this year, three new profiles will appear in the Olympiad - cultural studies, biology and chemistry, as well as a team programming competition, in which teams of 8-10 grade students of 3-4 people can participate, even if they study in different schools. Since competitions in these profiles are held within the framework of the “Highest Standard” for the first time, they are not included in the List of Olympiads for schoolchildren, annually approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia. But the winners and prize-winners of these Olympiads will receive additional points to the total Unified State Examination points for individual achievements when admitted to undergraduate educational programs at the Higher School of Economics.
But the winners and prize-winners in all other areas of the Olympiad are provided with benefits for admission not only to HSE, but also to many other Russian universities, depending on the profile and level of the Olympiad. Thirteen Olympiads within the framework of the “Highest Standard” were assigned level I, six - level II, three - level III. The higher the level of the Olympiad, the more universities give its winners and prize-winners preferences for admission.
The Olympic competitions will be held in two stages: the qualifying round will take place from November 17 to December 2, 2018, the final round will take place from January 31 to February 8, 2019. After registering on the Olympiad website, participants in the first stage will receive an assignment on a predetermined day in their personal account on the Olympiad website. The second round will take place in person. Its holding points are traditionally located in more than 40 cities of Russia, the CIS and Baltic countries, depending on the number of schoolchildren in a particular city who have passed the second stage. This year, the list of cities hosting the final stage will be announced at the end of December.
Registration of participants will last until November 13. But now those guys who want to prepare for the competition can test themselves on the Olympiad test tasks posted on the website -

The Olympics are hosted by the Higher School of Economics. It involves schoolchildren in grades 7-11 from all over Russia and neighboring countries. The popularity of the Olympiad is growing: in 2018, 82 thousand people came to the qualifying stage. And this is not surprising - the first three places allow you to enter with benefits both at HSE itself and at other universities in the country.
But people come to competitions not only to win. Participants love the Olympiad for interesting tasks and development of abilities.

New items. In 2018, “Financial Literacy” and “Business Fundamentals” were added to the standard set of subjects. You can get an idea of what these disciplines are from social studies and mathematics courses and from the HSE website. Unfortunately, first places at these Olympiads do not yet allow you to enter a university without exams. But winners and runners-up can receive additional points to their Unified State Exam results when admitted to HSE. By the way, we have already written about how else it is possible.
Participation
Registration. In October-November, everyone registers on the site and selects the profiles for which they want to complete tasks. You can choose several at once - the main thing is that the competition dates do not coincide.
Qualifying stage. Conducted remotely in November-December. Participants do not need to travel anywhere: on the appointed day they undergo a special online test. The exception is for designers. Instead of a test, they post their creative works in their personal account.
The final stage. It takes place in person in February and lasts several days. Those who have received an invitation to the second stage participate in it - usually about 20% of those who took the online test. Participants then select the regional site closest to them. They often travel to other regions - in 2018, sites were opened in 42 cities.
Here the tasks are more difficult and interesting. For example, in “Journalism” you had to write an essay and a news article on photography. And in the “Financial Literacy” competition - compare microloans and consumer loans.
Results. As a rule, the names of winners and runners-up are announced in early April. The results are valid for four years, but some universities only admit the winners of the 11th grade.
Also, universities themselves determine under what conditions they will accept winners and runners-up: without exams or based on the maximum Unified State Exam score. It depends on the prize place and the level of the Olympiad. There are only three levels: the higher it is, the greater the chances of entering a prestigious institution, bypassing the general competition.
For example, winners of the “Highest Standard” in mathematics (level I) are accepted into the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow State University, MEPhI, MIPT and other universities. And the winners of the “Step into the Future” Olympiad in mathematics (III level) can be admitted without exams to only a few universities, among which, however, are RUDN University and the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov.
How to prepare
Materials. To prepare for the competition, look at materials from last year's Olympiads. Understand the topics, the structure of tasks and solve everything that comes to hand. It is not known which of this will be useful on day X.
Also read reviews from other participants or, better yet, ask them personally. “Those who have been in combat” can give you useful advice.
Time. You have to prepare not only for the tasks, but also for the fact that you will have little time for them. In order not to panic and not write answers at the last seconds, distribute your forces in advance:
🚀 Find out how much time is given to solve tasks. At the final stage, depending on the class and profile of the Olympiad, it is 120-240 minutes.
🚀 Take on immediately those tasks in which you feel confident.
🚀 Don’t put too much effort on the draft, but only make calculations and short notes in it, otherwise there won’t be enough time for the clean draft. The exception is olympiads in mathematics, physics and design. There you can apply the draft to your work.
🚀 Still, set aside the last 15 minutes to rewrite the answers into a clean copy.
What does victory and prizes give?
1. Great satisfaction and pride in the work done.
2. Benefits for admission to HSE and other universities. But in order to confirm the Olympiad, you will have to pass the Unified State Exam in a core subject with at least 75 points.
For 10th and 11th graders, benefits can be in the form of admission without entrance exams or 100 points on the Unified State Examination. For the rest - invitations directly to the final stage next year. Also, winners and runners-up can count on a grant from the President of the Russian Federation.
Each university sets its own benefits. For example, here are the “Highest Standard” profiles that allow winners and runners-up to enter HSE in 2018:

In both paragraphs we state the same things: the boys fed the iguana given by their parents. However, in the first case there is a dry presentation, and in the second - lively. This is achieved by mentioning that they fed the iguana fresh lettuce, that she loved it very much, that they had to go to the local market to get it, that they did it together because they were used to sharing everything.
Details create the mood and are extremely important for the short story format. However, they should not be abused either. If there are too many details, then you risk going beyond the vocabulary limit, as well as boring the reader and turning an interesting story into a boring one. In general, there is no need to describe everything in detail. Instead, you should choose only the most striking and eye-catching ones.
Whenever possible, during the writing process we try to show off our vocabulary. Ideally, the vocabulary will be on the topic that we have chosen. In this case, it's a hobby.
(picture K) We did lots of things together: biking, playing computer games, swimming, skiing, to mention just a few. I keep some photos in my album which remind me of those happy days when we were free to do whatever we wanted. It was then that we promised each other that every year we would spend a holiday together, no matter what. And we kept this promise.
Having listed what the characters in the story did, we demonstrate vocabulary relevant to the topic. As with details, there is no need to overdo it. Even if you know three dozen names of different hobbies, this is not a reason to write every single one of them. Choose the most advanced ones, in your opinion.
Introduction and conclusion
So, we have compiled four paragraphs that are linked to pictures. But that is not all. Firstly, according to our instructions introduction and conclusion required. Secondly, the story itself has not yet reached completion. At the moment he is sequentially describing someone's memories. It's hard to imagine how this could arouse the reader's interest. To attract attention, you need to make the plot livelier. Let's use the introduction to do this.
"Come on, Jake, hold it!" he cried. I stretched my arm as far as I could, but the rope escaped me. I didn't dare look down, where the abyss was patiently waiting for my arrival. Mountaineering, this latest hobby of ours, had all the chances of being my last.
With this introduction, we kill two birds with one stone: we arouse the interest of the reader (who now wants to know whether the hero will fall or hold on) and mention the topic of the story (hobby).
What remains is the conclusion. In it we must tell the reader, who has patiently mastered the previous four paragraphs, how the matter ended.
In a frantic, desperate move I grasped the end of the rope, and soon I was back to the top of the rock from where I had slipped. "You know what, Luke" I said, trying to catch my breath, "I"m kind of tired of climbing. Why don"t we make a nice snowman instead?"
