2-3 and those matkonot are former Bagrut exams from previous years. During the year, I test them by using approved texts from Eric Cohen; UPP and havethe girls practice on the AEL books at home. But, for a matkonet I feel that
an original former bagrut exam is the most reliable indicator about future bagrut performance. P.S. My Mom was a guidance counselor at my public high school in NY state. On the day we all had to do the standard IQ exam I was recovering from an illness and really felt lousy. As it was a small school, my guidance counselor was surprised by my low score and broached my Mom about my retaking it at a later date that year. Wonder of wonders, my IQ shot up by about 30 points!!! Sandy wrote:
i hear so much talk of three or four matkonot. what gives? how many matkonot should they be doing for their tziyun magen? isn't anyone counting the examsthey have been doing all year? do we let them keep trying (and drive ourselves crazy) until they get a better grade? i don't get it.
