Hi All, The topic of discrepancies between the school grade and Bagrut exam grade comes up time and time again. I find large discrepancies on a regular basis due to the "formula" we use to calculate our grades , taking into account book report files, literature and projects. (NBA Handbook) The grades for these are often the reason for the large gaps between our grade and the exam grade and they can go either way; if a pupil did a great project or literary file, etc., that pupil's grade might be a lot higher than his actual exam grade (internal or external) And the opposite is true, too. We almost all have pupils who don't hand in projects or book reports, etc. This is not new. And so when I looked at the Bagrut results today I found the gaps I'd expected. Laurie
