this article is devoted to the analysis of the results of an empirical-experimental research aimed at improving the preparation of high school students for task 3 «Conditional dialogue-interview» of the oral part of the Unified State Exam in English. The study was conducted from September to December 2024 at the «Royal English» language school in Vladimir, and a total of 9 highschoolers took part in it. Analytical and methodological materials prepared by experts of the USE at the All-Russian and regional levels were analysed. A versatile algorithm, which includes the receptive, reproductive-analytical, and combinatorial-constructive stages, was developed for working with compiled conditional interview dialogues and additional assignments. The article presents histograms reflecting the results of the students' performance in the task «Conditional dialogue-interview» on the topics «School Days and Work», «Relationships at School. Problems and Solutions» and «Travel». It was proved that the systematic inclusion of compiled educational materials has a positive effect on the formation of both students' speech skills necessary to formulate answers to questions of interviewers, and the foreign language communicative competence in general. The target audience of the study are teachers who prepare high school students for the oral part of the USE in English.
