[etni] Re: Fw: Re: moed bet results

Well, obviously if you're a marker you've got the answer key but it's
usually possible to get the key from someone on your staff who's a marker or
someone you know.    And the English Inspectorate always sends out the
answer key to all schools after the Bagrut, sometimes sooner, sometimes
later.     I for one would also  like to see the  answer keys posted on
anglit.net.  

I know from personal experience, having been a marker for many years, that
before becoming final the answer key undergoes revisions as a result of
feedback at the first general marking session.  This means that additional
answers that hadn't been thought of before, are written down, then evaluated
by the senior examiners and often accepted.

Where does one find the official answer key to the Bagrut examinations?

Thanks.

ps.  I still find it impossible to accept that trained, intelligent native
and non-native speaking teachers should come up with answers that are not
acceptable to the markers.  Many teachers feel the same way, but their
reservations about the NB are not being addressed
