**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Do you really think that the same should be expected from a 4 pointer, as from a 5 pointer? I have always said the exact OPPOSITE of what you are saying: there should be a separate scale for 4 pointers' oral tests, just as the writing rubric is different for 4 and 5 pointers.
