Rivka,
While I agree that it would been better to have received the practice books
earlier, I don't feel it's a reason to panic. Jargon aside, these modules
ask students to read and write efficiently and thoughtfully. Those who have
worked throughout their years of English studies should be able to deal with
the exams in whatever form. I feel we can trust them and should encourage
them to trust their own abilities.
Happy Purim
Bonnie

> Miriam, I absolutely agree with you that this situation in which you find
yourself in regarding preparation for Modules F and G is horrendous. My
class is doing Modules A, B and C this year, and even for them I feel how
little time we have to work on Module C, as that ECB book didn't come out
too long ago either.

beginning of the year, asking that more sample exams be released. At the
time, Judy Steiner wrote back that the Ministry would not be sending out any
more sample exams. I was angry about that then, and now I'm even angrier. If
the Ministry has the money to put together a committee to make up the NBA,
organize NBA courses all over the country, send out a million and one
handbooks, updates and bulletins, and write 2 different Bagrut tests in one
year (old and new), couldn't they find the funding to have one or two test
writers sit down for a few weeks and rewrite old Bagruyot to fit the New
Bagrut model? Really not that difficult, if you think about it.

situation. Hopefully, the Ministry will be more understanding when it comes
to grading the tests this year, but who knows?
