I remember that in the old days (pre NBA) 3 pointers were
allowed to bring a simple dictionary that translated both
ways. I myself realised that this was going to be a problem
when the Bagrut became modular with the Module C overlap.
I don't know what the ruling is today, but even if 3 pointers
are allowed to use these dictionaries, it realy won't give
them any advantage as the C module is only an unseen. The
answers can be copied straight from the text in most cases.
Having a dictionary that translates from Hebrew to English
won't help them in the slightest, so I don't think that it's
worth worrying over.
More serious, in my opinion, is the fact that pupils with accommodations are
allowed to bring electronic dictionaries
that also translate from Hebrew to English. In 4 and 5 points
this can give them an unfair advantage in writing the
compositions as other pupils cannot look up words that they
don't know in English. Fortunately, in my experience, many of
them don't know how to use their miloniot properly and write
howlers when they look up words they don't know.

Subject: Passport dictionary for 3 pointers?
A teacher with many years of vetek told me that 3 pointers can
bring in the
Passport dictionary, that includes "Ivri- Angli." That seems
illogical to me
and I have never heard this before.
Can anyone deny or confirm this based on a good reliable
source? And even if
it were okay, if the 3 point pupil later decided to continue
to try for the
4 point exam, it would give him/ her an advantage over pupils
who did C with
the regular "angli-ivri-ivri" black Oxford. Sounds ridiculous
to me. Can
someone clear this up for me?
Many thanks in advance-
