10 Nizhny Novgorod graduates passed the Unified State Exam early.

      On April 21, 2026, at 09:29 Society In the Nizhny Novgorod region, the early period for taking the Unified State Exam (USE) among 11th-grade graduates has concluded. The last exam took place on April 20, reported the regional Minister of Education, Mikhail Puchkov, on his Max channel.

      The early period started on March 20 and, as emphasized by the head of the Ministry of Education, proceeded without violations. All registered graduates were allowed to take the exams and passed them successfully.

      Puchkov reminded that the early period is not for everyone. This year, ten Nizhny Novgorod graduates decided to take the exams ahead of schedule. Each of them had significant reasons for this choice.

      The minister highlighted one of the participants. The graduate took the exams early because he is going on tour with the Russian State Circus Company.

      "This is a wonderful example of how passion and vocation go hand in hand with studies, not interfering with each other, but only helping to improve!" Puchkov emphasized.

      The head of the regional Ministry of Education also invited parents to participate in the all-Russian event "Let's Take the Exam Together. Parents' Exam Day" (0+), which will take place on April 23. To find out which exam venue is participating in the event in a specific municipality, one can contact the education department.

      The event gives parents the opportunity not only to refresh their knowledge but also to go through the entire USE procedure—from entering the exam venue to writing the exam paper. This helps to understand that there is nothing frightening about the exam, reduces anxiety levels, and sets the child in a positive mood.

      Earlier, the head of the agency explained how the use of slang in USE materials would be assessed.

      The main stage of the exams will take place from June 1 to July 9. The schedule can be found at the link.
