[etni] Re: Module A

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

I was able to answer all of the open-ended questions on the module A exam by
copying directly from the text (without changing anything).  It was possible
to answer otherwise, but I'm pretty certain that in all cases, examinees did
have the possibility of copying.

I agree about the listening -- I, too, thought it was too fast.  However,
when I asked my students about it, they said it was fine.
