More than 70% of graduates improved their EGE scores thanks to retakes. According to Anzor Muzayev, more than half of those who failed to improve their results during the retake were graduates who initially received a grade of two on the EGE, meaning they did not even achieve minimum points.
Consensus
- In July 2026, 313 graduates achieved a perfect score of 100 points on one subject in the Unified State Exam (ЕГЭ).
- Most of these 313 students retake the exam.
- The retake opportunity for ЕГЭ was introduced in 2024 under an initiative by Vladimir Putin, allowing graduates to retake exams during the same summer before university admissions conclude.
- Results from the retake are valid even if they are worse than the initial results.
- Over 70% of participants improved their scores during the retake.
- The final statistics for ЕГЭ 2026 will be compiled later.
- A public consultation on improving the exam is ongoing until August 15.
