The most important thing is that our students are getting practice and
feedback. BE"H, all our students will ace the exams! Wishing the best to all
of our students!

We call them matkonot, and do 2-3 for each module throughout the year in the
format you've described. For our last set of matkonot, however, I prevail
upon our testing coordinator to give me half a day to give consecutive
matkonot for the entire school, following the schedule of the actual Bagrut.
This allows the students to get a feel of what the Bagrut will really be
like, which is especially important for students taking 2-3 modules at once,
and gets the whole school into "Bagrut atmosphere." Since we've implemented
that, I've found that students are more prepared on the day of the Bagrut,
and also take that final magen / matkonet more seriously. (Of course, the
bigger the school, the harder it is to do this.)
All the best,
Rivka

Now that the bagrut exams are 75 minutes (G:90 minutes) long and not 3
hours, I do not call any test a magen test. When the test was three hours
long, our school gave us 4 consecutive lessons (3-4 times a year) to give
full 3 hour exams. Those exams carried more weight than the 90 minute bagrut
type/bagrut exams.
We give many bagrut exams during the year and each exam carries the same
weight. Of course, as Sandra brought out, our students know the sites to
download bagrut exams (and answers) from and/or go to private teachers, so
we can't really call them "unseens"! Truth is, I had never heard that term
till I started teaching in Israel!
