[etni] fw: questions on unseens

From: "Erich Lewitus" <erichl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: questions on unseens

Can anybody p- l -e- a -s- e give me an answer to why there are so few questions on the unseens, which carry so many points. I have been begging for an answer since the NBA started, and no one, official or not, has given me an answer. I often discuss this with my students and I feel a real idiot that I have no logical answer. Not to mention my feeling of embarrassment at the questions themselves, which don't reflect their true knowledge of
English. The extremely clever kids just have to go down a few notches to be able to relate to the logic of the question.

What would happen if more questions were asked? Is there something that only exam- paper writers are aware of and we poor uninitiated mortals are kept in the dark about? Well, please enlighten me on the subject. Some of us have
actually studied how to be teachers and would love to be in on any new theories.

Thanks and always hopeful,

Carmen
