VPR is an abbreviation that is so alarming to today's schoolchildren. In the same timeIN Serossiyskaya P checking room RWork is an excellent opportunity to evaluate students' preparation. The project was launched relatively recently, for example, the VPR in geography is being carried out for the first time in 2017 and is of an experimental trial nature. Should you be afraid of such a test and how to successfully pass it?

There are not many materials and various demo versions of VPR for preparing students in grades 10 and 11, which raises many questions. How many tasks are there in each option? What sections of the geography course does the work cover? How to competently organize educational activities to get the best results?

The lack of necessary information and the novelty of this project do not allow us to feel confident in successfully passing the test. We offer you a solution that will help you not only get acquainted with the requirements within the framework of the VPR in geography, but also master the materials necessary to successfully complete the work.

About the simulator

The resource includes interactive tasks in test form for practicing exercises in all sections:

1. Sources of geographic information.
2. World population.
3. World economy.
4. Nature management and geoecology.
5. Regions and countries of the world.
6. Geography of Russia.

The check is carried out automatically. The student gets the opportunity to try his hand online, parents see the child’s level of preparation, and the teacher saves time on viewing work.

In addition, we offer materials that are fully consistent in structure, form and sequence of VPR tasks. For the student, this is an opportunity to objectively assess the level of his knowledge and psychologically prepare for the test. To better consolidate work skills, the materials are presented in three versions, the solution of which will give confidence and help show how ready the student is for the VPR and the Unified State Exam.

Trainer for the student

We have prepared 3 free online trainers for the student. The completion of test tasks is checked automatically. We invite you to try your hand!

In addition, additionally developed 3 test options that you can print and conduct a trial VPR in 10th or 11th grade: study the format, sequence, time allotted for their implementation; objectively assess your level of knowledge and feel confident during certification.

Methodological comments are equipped with all the necessary information for the successful completion of tasks - what you need to know and be able to do, what additional materials are allowed to be used.

Excel editor is a very powerful program for working with tables. Sometimes it happens that you have to work with a large amount of data. In such cases, various information search tools are used. The VLOOKUP function in Excel is one of the most popular for this purpose. Let's take a closer look at it.

Most users don't know that the acronym "VLOOKUP" stands for "Vertical View". In English the function is called "VLOOKUP", which means "Vertical LOOK UP"

How to use the function

To understand how this tool works, you need to follow the following steps.

1. Create a table from which you can do some kind of information search.

1. Let's add several fields that we will use to demonstrate formulas.

1. In the “Searched surname” field, enter one of your choice from those in the table.
2. Then go to the next cell and call the “Insert Function” window.
3. Select the category “Full alphabetical list”.
4. We find the “VLOOKUP” function we need. To continue, click on the “OK” button.

1. We will then be asked to provide the "Function Arguments":
   • In the “Search Expression” field we indicate the link to the cell in which we wrote the last name we need.
   • In order to fill out the “Table” field, you just need to select all our data using the mouse. The link will be inserted automatically.
   • In the “Column Number” column we indicate number 2, since in our case the name is in the second column.
   • The last field can take the values ​​"0" or "1" ("FALSE" and "TRUE"). If you specify “0”, the editor will search for an exact match based on the specified criteria. If “1”, then complete matches will not be taken into account during the search.
2. To save, click on the “OK” button.

1. As a result of this we got the name "Tomara". That is, everything is correct.

Now you need to use the same formula for the remaining fields. Simply copying a cell using Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V will not work, since we use relative links and the column number will change each time.

In order for everything to work correctly, you need to do the following:

1. Click on the cell with the first function.
2. Go to the formula input line.
3. Copy the text using Ctrl + C .

1. Make the following field active.
2. Go to the formula input line again.
3. Click on the hotkeys Ctrl +V.

This is the only way the editor will not change the references in the function arguments.

1. Then change the column number to the desired one. In our case it is 3. Press the Enter key.

1. Thanks to this, we see that the data from the “Year of Birth” column was determined correctly.

1. After this, we repeat the same steps for the last field, but adjusting the number of the required column.

The way this function works is that Excel looks for a fragment in the area you specify and can then return any value from that row. You only need to specify the ordinal number of the column in the specified range.

That is, the numbering does not start from the beginning of the sheet, but from the beginning of the specified area of ​​​​cells.

How to use the VLOOKUP function to compare data

We will demonstrate this possibility using two tables. Let's imagine that we have updated data about employees on the second sheet. Our task is to find out what exactly has changed. To do this you will need to do the following.

1. Let's add a second sheet with exactly the same table (copied using the hotkeys Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V).
2. We will promote interns to “Junior Employee.” This information will be a starting point for comparison.

1. Let's add another column to our old table.

1. Go to the first cell of the new column and enter the following formula there.

=VLOOKUP($B$3:$B$11,Sheet2!$B$3:$E$11,4,FALSE)

It means:

• $B$3:$B$11 – all values ​​of the first column are used for the search (absolute references are used);
• Sheet2! – these values ​​must be looked for on the sheet with the specified name;
• $B$3:$E$11 – table to search in (range of cells);
• 4 – column number in the specified data area;
• FALSE – look for exact matches.

1. The new information will be displayed in the place where we specified the formula.
2. The result will be as follows.

1. Now duplicate this formula in the remaining cells. To do this, you need to drag the mouse on the lower right corner of the original cell.

1. As a result, we will see that the formula we wrote works correctly, since all new positions were copied as expected.

Now we can easily determine which employee’s records have changed.

The only disadvantage of this function is that VLOOKUP cannot work with multiple conditions.

In such cases, it is necessary to use various additional columns, which combine information from several columns. And this looks ugly and not very convenient.

VLOOKUP function and drop-down lists

Let's look at examples of using these two tools simultaneously. To do this, you need to perform the following steps.

1. Go to the cell in which you select the last name.
2. Open the Data tab.
3. Click on the specified tool and select “Data Check”.

All-Russian tests as a form of testing the knowledge of school students were first carried out in 2015 - then they were written by fourth-graders. These testing works are aimed at developing a unified educational space in the country and creating uniform educational standards: the assessment criteria are also the same for the entire Russian Federation. Each school is sent criteria that are the same for the entire territory of the state, and in accordance with them, the work of schoolchildren is checked.

VPR are not an analogue of the Unified State Exam, since they were created for a completely different purpose. That is, the grade received by the student is not the final grade for the entire period of primary school and does not play a decisive role in the future fate and educational activities of the child.

The results for the student’s promotion to the next grade are also do not affect. But if a student received a 4 or 5, the teacher can use it as an indicator of knowledge and, in the event of a controversial grade in a quarter/trimester, give a higher score.

Where is it carried out and tested?

VPRs are carried out at school and checked here - unlike the Unified State Exam, work is not taken outside the educational organization for verification. However, the results may be used to determine the final grade for the subject if such a decision is made by the school management. The work is checked on the same day - the school is obliged to transfer its results to the unified federal collection form a maximum of 24 hours after they are completed.

What can you use on VPR?

You are not allowed to use your phone during the exam, but you may have one with you. The state does not provide a general standard for what kind of writing instruments the work is written with - unlike the final certification works of the OGE and OGE, where you can only use black pens. But, since all-Russian testing is carried out by the school, the decision on this issue is made by its leadership - they may tell you to write with a pen, or they may allow you to use a pencil.

However, there is still one general limitation: during the VPR, it is prohibited to use dictionaries, textbooks, notebooks, and reference materials. You can have drafts - the entries made in them are not checked or evaluated.

How long does VPR last and when is it performed?

VPRs are completed during one lesson - forty-five minutes. In fact, this is an ordinary test, the same as those that are always regularly carried out in schools. The only difference from traditional tests is that the tasks and the criteria for checking them are all-Russian. They can be held both in spring and autumn. If the child was sick and missed writing the work, then there is no need to write the work at another time.

Who compiles the VPR?

Options for work are compiled by qualified specialists and reflect those aspects of the curriculum that are of greatest importance for general education training.

UMK Merzlyak line. Mathematics. Algebra. Geometry (5-11) (B)

Line UMK Geography. "Classic Line" (5-9)

Line UMK V. P. Dronov. Geography (Wind Rose) (10-11) (basic)

Line UMK Volobueva-Ponomarev. General History (10-11) (BU)

VPR in questions and answers

Why was it created, when is it carried out, what does it threaten, how to prepare for it psychologically? We turn to official data and interviews with representatives of Rosobrnadzor.

All-Russian testing works (VPR) are a practice designed to regularly test the level of knowledge of schoolchildren for compliance with federal state educational standards. Russian schoolchildren wrote their first VPRs in 2015. Since 2016, All-Russian inspections have become regular.

Having studied official sources, we answer questions about congenital malformation that parents most often ask.

Basic information: why, for whom, how

Why was it necessary to introduce VPR? Does the Unified State Exam really not provide all the necessary information?

Students take specialized Unified State Examinations in all subjects not in the general order, but by choice, that is, there is no way to obtain complete data on how other students have mastered the subject. In addition, graduates realize that their future studies and careers depend on the results of the Unified State Exam, so they prepare very carefully for specialized exams, most often resorting to the help of tutors and attending special courses. Therefore, the results of the Unified State Exam cannot judge the role of the school in the success of graduates. In order to get a more transparent picture, All-Russian inspection work has been introduced, compiled according to uniform requirements.

In the 11th grade, CVs are carried out only for those students who did not choose the Unified State Exam in the relevant subjects. That is, whoever takes the Unified State Exam in Geography does not write a VPR in Geography.

“Now schools themselves check how students have mastered subjects not included in the Unified State Exam or GIA-9, and conduct tests themselves. They guide them on their own assignments. No one controls how these tasks are composed, what their level of difficulty is, or how their completion is assessed. By introducing the VPR, we offered schools a unified assessment standard..." - Anzor Muzaev, Deputy Head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science, in an interview with MIA Rossiya Segodnya on December 14, 2016.

• Vadim Barabanov: “VPR is not an exam, but a test”
• Modern geographical education at school: questions and answers

In 2017, not all schools conducted VPR. Is this a mandatory and universal procedure, or can you still refuse?

At the testing stage, the decision to participate in the VPR was made by schools. According to the 4VPR portal, in the 2016/17 academic year, three million children participated in VPR in 95% of the country’s schools. There is no exact information on the official website regarding 2018, but it is likely that school participation in the VPR for grades 4 will be mandatory.

“In the 2017/2018 academic year, the testing of the VPR in history will take place in grades 5 and 11; in the next year, in the 5th grade, the VPR in history is planned to be introduced into the regular mode,” noted the head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science Sergey Kravtsov at the All-Russian Conference of the Association of History and Social Studies Teachers (source - press service of Rosobrnadzor).

“This year, participation in the VPR for eleventh graders is voluntary, but next year all graduates of Russian schools will be required to take part in the VPR in history,” states Oksana Reshetnikova, director of FIPI (source - www.4vpr.ru).

Is it possible for one of the students not to write a VPR if his school and his class are writing this work?

#ADVERTISING_INSERT#

The decision on the procedure for conducting VPR within a school is made at the school level (source - official website of VPR). The school administration may, for example, exempt children with disabilities from writing a test paper, but it is unlikely that each student will decide for himself whether to write a test paper or not.

Which classes will write VPR in 2017 and in what subjects?

Currently, the list of All-Russian verification works is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science No. 69 of January 27, 2017. It states that monitoring the quality of training in the form of testing will be carried out:

in 4th grade - in Russian language, mathematics and the surrounding world,

in 5th grade (in testing mode) - in Russian language, mathematics, history and biology,

in 6th grade - on life safety,

in 8th grade - in life safety,

in 10th or 11th grade - in geography (in testing mode),

in 11th grade - in physics, chemistry, biology and history (in testing mode),

in 10th grade - in chemistry and biology.

Of those listed, almost all of the VPRs have already been carried out, except for the VPRs in chemistry and biology for grades 10: their students will write on October 18, 2017.

It is worth noting that this list may undergo changes and new items may be added. We advise parents to keep their finger on the pulse and follow educational news.

By whom and how are VPRs carried out? Is this a procedure as harsh as the Unified State Exam?

Tasks for VPR are developed at the federal level: this ensures the necessary unity of approaches in assessment. And the tests are carried out by the schools themselves, so children will take the test in their own walls.

“Each educational organization independently makes a decision on the use of materials received for conducting graduate training, and establishes the procedure for carrying out the procedure in graduate classes,” - Vadim Barabanov, head of the Federal Commission of Developers of the KIM Unified State Exam in Geography FIPI, in an official interview with the Russian Textbook Corporation on December 20, 2016.

The procedure for conducting VPR is extremely transparent and does not require any additional actions from students. The most common model for organizing VPR is as follows: first, the school registers on the federal portal for VPR support; A personal account is automatically created for her. Three days before the work (the exact schedule will be published closer to spring), the VPR materials are posted on the portal in the form of encrypted archives. The school code is received through your personal account. Also in your personal account there are assessment criteria and an electronic form for collecting results.

The test is carried out at school and takes 1 - 2 academic hours (for elementary school - 1 hour). The recommended time for conducting VPR is the second or third lesson.

The VPR is also checked by the teachers of your school on the day of the work. The results are then entered into a form and sent directly to a unified information system so that experts can work with them.

VPR for students: benefits, risks, features

But still, which result is more important - the Unified State Exam or the VPR?

For eleventh graders, from the point of view of the impact of results on future studies and careers, the Unified State Exam is, of course, more important. The result of the VPR may not even affect the student’s final grade in a given subject: the decision to use the results of the VPR is made at the school level. Experts in the field of education note that influencing the annual assessment and making any serious decisions is not a priority task of the All-Russian testing work.

“VPRs do not affect the certificate; based on their results, no vital decisions for the graduate are made; you do not need to prepare for them (VPRs) in any special way - you just need to study. We do not recommend that schools take into account the results of the VPR when assigning grades to the certificate...” - said Anzor Muzaev in an interview with MIA Rossiya Segodnya dated December 14, 2016.

It is clear why Rosobrnadzor needs VPR data. How are VPRs useful for children?

Even a very capable student will find it difficult to successfully pass the Unified State Exam and the Unified State Exam if he has a knowledge gap in grades 4, 5, 8. Often these gaps are invisible to teachers, parents, and children themselves. Finding out during a fateful exam that you missed something important several years ago is, to put it mildly, not very pleasant. The VPR is designed to promptly identify shortcomings and point out topics that, for some reason, were not fully understood by you.

So, the result of the VPR is an indicator of the student’s individual level of preparation, a good tool for identifying problem areas, as well as for making further decisions when building an individual educational trajectory.

In addition, data on the results of the educational program as a whole for the school is an excellent marker of the level of the educational organization. This can be useful, for example, for parents who are choosing a school for their child: the results of the VPR can act as an objective criterion.

VPR tasks - what are they?

The task of the VPR is to check the level of knowledge of schoolchildren for compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, therefore a common feature for the tasks of the VPR in all subjects is practice-oriented.

Since the tasks are so unusual, it means that Does preparation for the VPR provide any new, special load?

VPR is the same test work as all that children write. It should not place any special heavy burden on the shoulders of children and parents. VPR tasks may seem difficult for those who studied without regard to the Federal State Educational Standard: in order to complete the tasks, it is not enough to reproduce memorized facts. You need to reason, analyze, think more broadly and freely navigate the issues. And for most children this is quite a challenging task: in 2017, 95% of the students who wrote the VPR completed the work.

What happens if the child “fails” at the ED?

First of all, an unsuccessful VPR result is a timely signal for both the student and the entire school. VPR can become a tool for self-diagnosis and the basis for building a strategy for methodological work. The main task of the VPR is to take another qualitative snapshot of data on students’ performance and the compliance of their results with the Federal State Educational Standards standards, and not to create additional obstacles for the student. However, many nuances will be decided at the school level.

How to prepare for VPR?

When should you start preparing?

If from the 1st grade your children studied according to the teaching aids that meet the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, then preparation for you has already begun. But to feel even more confident, you can now turn to study guides specially compiled to prepare for the VPR.

All education experts note: VPR does not require special training - after all, no one hires tutors for ordinary tests. For greater peace of mind, it will be useful to look at demo versions of VPR: they are publicly available on the VPR information portal and on the FIPI website. If even after this you are still left with an uneasy feeling, you should pay attention to study guides compiled specifically for preparing for the VPR.

For eleventh-graders who are about to take the VPR in geography, we suggest testing their strength on the online VPR simulator. The resource includes a set of interactive test tasks on all main topics, and the results are calculated automatically.

The basic rule for preparing for the VPR isjust study for a year. Preparing for a test 2 months in advance is a stressful and sometimes impossible task. The right decision is to prepare for the GCSE gradually, systematically, in the usual way for a schoolchild, using a variety of tasks and studying using modern textbooks.

Microsoft Excel has a lot of different functions that make the user's work much easier, and in this article we will talk about one of them. It is called VLOOKUP, and if in English, then VLOOKUP.

The VLOOKUP function transfers values ​​from one table to specific cells in another. Let me explain in more detail - in the first table you select the value that you need to find in the left column of the second. If there are matches, then VLOOKUP transfers the value from the column you specified in this row to the first table. Although the definition is a little confusing, using the function is not that difficult. Let's look at a few examples.

Since the function is most often used to fill out the column with the price, which is indicated in individual price lists, let’s take the following example. For example, there is a table with fruits (orange), where for each it is indicated how many kilograms we want to order. Accordingly, for each fruit you need to write down the price from the price list (green) given by the supplier, and then calculate how much the purchase will cost. It is difficult to view each item and transfer data, especially if there are thousands of lines with goods, so we use VLOOKUP.

Click on the top cell in the first table in the Price column, and then the “fx” button in the formula bar to open the Function Wizard window.

The next thing we do is write the arguments into the proposed fields.

Put italics in the field "Search_value" and highlight in the first table the value that we will look for. I have this apple.

In the “Table” line, you need to select the one from which the data will be taken - do not select the header. Note that the leftmost column should consist of the values ​​we are looking for. That is, I need an apple and other fruits, which means their list should be in the left column of the selected area.

So that after we write the formula and stretch it across the entire column, the selected range does not move down, we need to make the links absolute: select the data in the field and press “F4”. Now the address of the cells has become absolute, the “$” sign has been added to them, and the range will not shift.

Where the column number is, put the number corresponding in the second table to the column from which you want to transfer data. My price list consists of fruit and price, I need the second, so I put the number “2”.

IN "Time Lapse" We write “FALSE” - if you need to search for exact matches, or “TRUE” - if the values ​​can be approximate. For our example, we choose the first. If you do not specify anything in this field, the second will be selected by default. Then click "OK".

Here, pay attention to the following: if you work with numbers and specify “True”, then the second table (this is our price list) must be sorted in ascending order. For example, when searching for 5.25, 5.27 will be found and the data from this line will be taken, although there may also be a number below 5.2599 - but the formula will not look further, because it thinks that the numbers below are only larger.

How does VLOOKUP work? It takes the desired value (apple) and looks for it in the leftmost column of the specified range (list of fruits). If there is a match, the value is taken from the same row, only the column specified in the arguments (2), and transferred to the cell we need (C2). The formula looks like this:

VLOOKUP(A2,$G$2:$H$12,2,FALSE)

Now you can stretch it down the required number of lines by pulling the lower right corner.

All prices have been transferred from the price list to the procurement table in accordance with the names of the fruits.

If you have in the first table the names of products that are not in the price list, for me these are vegetables, then opposite these points the VLOOKUP formula will produce the error #N/A.

As you add columns to the worksheet, the data for the Table argument of the function will automatically change. In the example, the price is shifted 2 columns to the right. Let's select any cell with a formula and see that instead of $G$2:$H$12 it is now $I$2:$J$14 .

Now let's figure out how to work with the VLOOKUP function in Excel and with drop-down lists. First you need to make a drop-down list. Select the cell, open “Data” at the top and click on the button "Data checking".

In the “Data Type” window that opens there will be “List”, below we indicate the source area - these are the names of fruits, that is, the column that is in both the first and second tables. Click "OK".

I select F2 and insert the VLOOKUP function. The first argument is the made list (F1).

The second is a supplier table with indicated prices. Remember that here the left column must match the data that makes up the drop-down list.

It turned out something like a search: we select a fruit and VPR finds its price in the price list.

If you had the same prices, and then the suppliers gave you a new list, then you need to somehow see what has changed. Doing this manually takes a long time, but with the help of the function in question, everything can be done very quickly. You will need to add one column and transfer new values ​​into it, and then simply compare the data.

Click on any cell in column D and insert a new one.

I called it New Price - the new prices will be here, and the old prices will be shown in the column on the left. My new table is located on another sheet, so that you can understand how to use VLOOKUP if the data is located on different sheets. In the added column, select the first empty cell.

We insert the function and specify the arguments. First, what we will look for, in the example an apple (A2). To select a range from the new price list, place the cursor in the “Table” field and go to the desired sheet, I have “Sheet1”.

Use the mouse to select the required columns and rows, without headings.

Next we make absolute references to cells: “Sheet1!$A$2:$B$12” . Select the line and press "F4" to add a dollar sign to the cell addresses. We indicate column (2) and write “FALSE”.

At the end, click the "OK" button.

Now two columns with the new and old prices are located side by side and you can make either a visual comparison, or by applying certain formulas, or conditional formatting.

I hope I have provided step-by-step instructions on how to use and apply the VLOOKUP function in Excel, and now everything is clear to you.
