The most difficult exam for Russian schoolchildren has been named

The Russian language tops the list of the most difficult subjects in the final assessment for students, according to a study by an online school for exam preparation.

27% of ninth-graders and 20% of graduates encounter difficulties in mastering the subject. Mathematical disciplines occupy the second position: the basic course causes difficulties for 25% of respondents from secondary school, and the advanced level - for 17% of eleventh-graders. Bronze in the rating is shared by the OGE and the Unified State Exam in social science, which are considered problematic by 10% and 15% of students, respectively, despite the popularity of the subject - 44% of those taking the OGE and 38% of graduates chose it.

Preparation for exams requires high school students to spend a significant amount of time: 38% of graduates devote 3-4 hours daily to studying, while 45% of ninth-graders limit themselves to 1-2 hours. The overwhelming majority of respondents (85%) associate the result with the level of knowledge and intensity of preparation, but almost half (48%) mention the role of luck, and 43% - the importance of stress control. Such data is cited by Gazeta.Ru.

Emotional burnout has become a frequent companion of the exam marathon: 38% of students experience its acute form, 36% - moderate, and only 26% practically do not encounter this condition. To restore strength, teenagers most often use healthy sleep (61%), audio content (58%) and communication with loved ones (47%). Parental support turns out to be critically important - 41% of respondents regularly discuss preparation with their family, while help from friends does not play a key role for 42% of respondents.
