Some of these comments may have already made it to the list, but David said
that he thinks he may have missed some, and since I haven't gotten any
responses...
The A exam is the most difficult of the 3 point one, even if the vocabulary
may be the easiest. There is just too much for the kids to handle, even though
the second listening was taken off. Many of the weak students have general
problems organizing their time, so dealing with two unseens and a listening
which requires pre-preparation are more than many can handle. Compare it to
the E exam for the 4 and 5 point students, in which there is only one unseen
and one listening.
And the B' composition rubrics for those doing the "mutam," "reduced test."
Too high a percentage of points are for "grammar," even if you don't call it
grammar. The majority of points should be for content and organization.
Getting prepositions correct are hard enough for the advanced students.
