OGE Informatics case studies

The OGE in Informatics (ОГЭ Информатика) is the Basic State Exam taken by Russian ninth-graders at the end of lower secondary school. Results matter for the school certificate and for admission to some specialised senior classes or vocational programmes, so it functions as both a school-leaving and a selection signal. It suits students who are comfortable with logic, basic arithmetic and careful reading, not only those who already write code. The exam mixes short-answer items with computer-based practical tasks, and the content spans digital literacy, number systems and information measurement, algorithmization and modeling, programming, hardware and file organisation, networks, information security, and hands-on work with spreadsheets, text and databases. The OGE Informatics case studies are 5 cases and about 1,361 words.
