**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Subject: Answers to Aviva's bagrut questions Hi all, The following questions were sent two weeks ago by Aviva. 1. " If a student retakes a module in the winter and receives a lower grade than the in the previous summer - which grade is considered? 2. A student finishes the 4 point exam by the winter of the 12th grade. In the summer he takes modules F+G. If he isn't satisfied with the 5 pt grade can he "keep" the 4pt grade and "ignore/erase" the 5 pt?" ***** You may have received answers, so forgive me if I am repeating this info. The answer to the first question is: the higher grade counts, as opposed to the old format whereby the mark of the last test counted- info taken from letter to the principal sent out March 2004 and signed by Rachel Schiffer Head of Agaf HaBechinot. The answer to the second question appears in the same letter and translated from Hebrew it says: The school must send a letter to this "Agaf" on behalf of the student, requesting to get his former mark in writing. (I am trying to translate as accurately as possible, though it may not sound so good in English) The letter should also ask that the mark he got at the level he was tested last not be considered at all. Furthermore, the school must attach a handwritten statement by the student of the choice he has made. All the best, Ahuva ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
