The document separately describes the list of "teaching aids" allowed in the exams.
On the USE in mathematics, it will be possible to use only a ruler that does not contain additional reference information, and in physics - the same ruler and an ordinary non-programmable calculator that can calculate trigonometric functions, but does not have access to the Internet or databases.
In computer science, the provided equipment should also not have an outlet to the network.
In chemistry, you can use a non-programmable calculator, periodic table, electrochemical series of metal voltages and a table of solubility of salts, acids and bases in water.
You can bring a ruler, protractor, and a regular calculator to your geography exam.
“On the day of the Unified State Exam on the teaching aids ... it is not allowed to make notes related to the content of the tasks of the control measuring materials of the Unified State Exam in academic subjects,” the draft order emphasizes.

It is noted that those graduates who do not plan to enter a university will have to take only two compulsory subjects: Russian (May 25) and Mathematics (May 28).
Reserve dates for them are set for June 8 and 16, respectively.
There are two additional periods for delivery: July 13 and 17, as well as September 3, 6, 13 and 15.
The exams will start at 10:00 local time and will last 3 hours 55 minutes.
A draft order on holding the Basic State Examination (OGE) for ninth grade students has also been published.
The main stage of passing tests in the Russian language and mathematics will take place from May 24 to July 2, and the additional one - from September 3 to 15.
The schedule will be the same: start at 10:00, duration - 3 hours 55 minutes.
Moreover, on the exam in Russian ninth-graders will be allowed to use spelling dictionaries, and in mathematics - a ruler and reference materials containing "the basic formulas of the mathematics course in the educational program of basic general education."
Recall that at the end of February, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree according to which, in 2021, graduates of Russian schools will undergo state final certification according to simplified rules.
The decision was made to minimize the risks of the spread of the coronavirus.
It is according to this order that only two compulsory exams will have to be passed for ninth-graders and 11th-grade graduates who do not plan to enter universities.
“Graduates who are going to study at universities are waiting for the Unified State Exam in the subjects necessary for admission.
At the same time, the results of the unified state exam in the Russian language will be enough for them to obtain a certificate.
The Unified State Exam will also be held for graduates of previous years who plan to enter universities, and for tenth graders who are ready to pass them ahead of schedule, ”the government's press service said.
