From 1998 till 2003 there was a system of Accuracy and Communicative 
ability.
In 5 point tests there were two compositions worth 10 pts each. Most pupils 
got a n average 7/10 (4 for communicative ab. and 3 for accuracy) unless it 
was especially abysmal, then s/he might get a 3 + 2 (out of 10 per compo). 
There were also discrepancies between the two types of compos. some genres 
were done better than others (depnding on how many phrases of the format had 
been pre-memorized.) Prior to 1997 the whole nature of the tests was 
different and it is simply too distressing to go into it. Rest assured, 
however, that the change to communo-accurate (1998) represents the top of 
the slippery descent into communo- inaccurate.
