Subject: ambiguous questions
Actually, I'm not sure whether to class this as an ambiguous question, but
in any case I would like to bring this to the attention of the list, to see
what reactions there are.
Although this particular example appeared in a practice book, it is the type
of question that appears frequently on the Bagrut.
Circle the correct answer YES or NO
Florence didn't get paid when she worked in the hospital. YES / NO
(She didn't get paid; she volunteered)
Is the answer YES - This statement is right. She didn't get paid. Or is it
NO. No, she didn't get paid.
Of course it would be better to phrase the question TRUE / FALSE, but this
is not always done. I think this should be pointed out to the examining
board. There is no point in haveing even more confusion than there is at
present.
And on that note, may I wish all those involved an 'enjoyable' Bagrut next
week.
