Subject: Re: reliability of bagrut exams


Iit certainly does NOT apply in History for example. There is" Home" the
kids know exactly what to study for the test and what questions will be
asked more or less. They have sample questions in books,on the net.
They prepare ... if they prepared well they do well,if they didn't they don't
simple as that.This is exactly why I suggested we make a body of
material to be learned e.g literature so that our classes will not become
irrelevant as they are now, and kids will not feel our Tziun Magen
has no relevance to the exam , and will not say there is nothing to
prepare for as they do for Unseen and essay.

subjects?
